Project 365 – Day 333

He did it!

At the beginning of the month, Grant stepped up to the challenge of writing a novel in just the thirty days of November. This is something that his dad has done for the past few years, and this year Grant decided to try out the junior division of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). In the adult division, writers try to complete 50,000 words in those thirty days. In the junior division the kids get to choose their own word count goal. Grant decided that 5,000 words would be a reasonable goal for him. It was definitely a challenge, especially with so much of his time taken up by homework and all of his activities. But today he finished it! I’m so proud of him!

If you would like to read all of Grant’s story, you can find it here. It’s actually quite funny. :)

First Congregational Church of Fulton

Posted on November 23, 2009

In early 2007 I was asked to photograph the First Congregational Church here in Fulton. The pictures were to be a gift from my church to theirs, as a way for their small remaining congregation to remember their wonderful old building, which had been forced to close. I had never been inside the church before, but had always admired the lovely architecture that surrounded that stunning round window. The stained-glass window was something I probably never took note of when I lived here as a young person. But after we moved away, the light shining through that window was my way of knowing that we were almost home. Viewed as we crossed the bridge at night, I would know that our long journey was almost at an end, and that soon we would be at our destination. I miss that window.

I knew that the church was going to be taken down soon. I had hoped to be able to photograph it, but unfortunately I was out of town on Saturday when it happened. It was a bit depressing when I returned and drove past the remaining pile of rubble. So today I am posting a few of those pictures from back in 2007.

I’ve always loved this picture of the huge pipe organ.

Today was Grant’s long-awaited birthday party! He had fun at the mall with his friends and his cousins playing in the game room, eating ice cream and watching a (really boring) movie. A good time was had by all!
