Greetings from Mendocino
The parsonage sounds…um…interesting. A bookshelf-lined study, oh horrors! If Dad gets an office – do you get to claim a sewing room? An airy house in the Southland is good – I can still remember how stuffy and stifling the house in Huntington Beach could get if there was no airflow.
My interview in Redding went pretty well – there’s an opening in the Health Technologies department at the community college for department assistant. I met with the department head, the reigning department secretary (I would be her assistant) and one of the professors. This was the initial interview, so we didn’t get into too much detail – they read the required questions prepared by Human Resources, and I answered. I also stopped by the college housing office to pick up a rental list and did a few drive-bys.
Redding has really grown in the past few years. “Old Town” is still cute, and the view of the Trinitys is still gorgeous. I could live there- I’d be one of the liberals again, instead of one of the moderates- but air conditioning is a definite must! Covered parking would probably be important, too.
I stayed at a motel in Williams Friday night because I didn’t want to drive back over the 20 in the dark, and I think I left my cellphone charging in the bathroom. I will have to call on Monday to see if housekeeping turned it in. Hopefully it was found and they can send it back to me. Otherwise, it’s somewhere in Redding.
I will try to call from a payphone tonight, but I may not be able to talk long. I’ve been cleaning the house and car and laundry in preparation for the trip north, so I’m short on quarters.
~Love, Lily
