This was not to be a "normal" Saturday for us as we had been invited to help with an academic meet at the McCamey high school. This was a dress rehersal for the students from eight area schools for the upcoming state academic meet.
We arrived at the school (very early for a Saturday!) and got our instructions for the day's activities. Belinda had been asked to be a judge for the first two rounds of the poetry competition and Charles was going to be the time-keeper. We had a great time hearing the students though the modern poetry does take some getting used to (or so it seemed to us).
We came home during the lunch break and rested up before returning for the afternoon's final round. Belinda went over to the golf course where a benefit was being held for a local family. She came back with a wonderful looking take-out meal which thanks to Bill & Bobbie Lester, we have lunch already for us tomorrow.
For the final round of the meet, there were three judges for each event and both of us were tagged to be judges in the prose competition. We really had a great time, there are really talented young people in our communites!
A quiet night has been our reward though there has been time at the church this evening, getting the final touches in place for Sunday.
