Education, Salvation, and a little Creation

Looking down to the first floor of the library

 

On Tuesday, we went over to Old Aberdeen; Baylor gave us his brief but grand tour of The University of Aberdeen. We definitely enjoyed the views of the North Sea from the top floors of the new library, and Tim was glad to poke around and see what kind of resources they had.

The New Library

 We saw the courtyard of Kings College, a private library Baylor has access to, as well as some other interesting gates and sculptures around the university.

I almost forgot we weren't at Disney!

 Within walking distance is the Cathedral Church of St. Machar founded in 580 AD; the present building dates from 1350. Below it is another garden, Seaton Park, that Tim and walked around in while we waited to meet up again with Baylor. 

On Wednesday I got to join Jules for her weekly play date with other women from the Aberdeen Women’s Fellowship. While walking back, we poked our heads in a used furniture-slash-charity shop and picked up a whole pile of things for one pound total!  

Super glad I had a chance to go out one night just with Julie, and then another night just the 4 of us went out while the kids stayed with a sitter. The night Julie and I went out we had such a fun and wonderful time laughing, talking, sharing... I know we won't quickly forget the memories we made that night.
