Arrival!

I arrived in Allegan this afternoon around 3:00 after a detour through Toledo to visit my childhood home (they’ve put an addition on the back – it looks good!)

I’ll be staying in a trailer with Lynn (of Colorjoy) and I’m headed out to Kinkos in Kalamazoo to get copies made, and then on to Target for some sheets, etc. Yes, I should have remembered to bring my own, but I forgot and I’m picky about them (hate polyester anything, especially sheets, which is what is in the trailer…) Oh, well, we can certainly use another set of sheets…

The shower is a hike away from the trailer (damn!) and there’s no TV, which isn’t such a big deal except that I’m HOOKED on The Amazing Race which is on TV tonight. It will, however, be really lovely to take a break between classes and actually take a nap or rest in the trailer reading.

I’ve discovered the local library – always interesting how each library limits internet access. In this one you have to have a library card (can’t get one, not a resident) or a drivers license. Are they afraid I’ll steal a computer? Oh, well – I’m glad it’s here and glad they seem to have evening hours during the week – yahoo!

Allegan looks like a cute little town – I’ll write more about it after I look around and see the sights! Right now it’s good to be here!
