The following few pictures are of our beach party we held on the 4th of July. This one shows Barbara Haywood and Kenny Miles at the table and Bob in the background. Robert Roper is in white wearing the glasses. He is not yet a member but fully supports his wife as R.S. Pres. We really like him and hope to get to teach him before we leave. So far he says, "Not yet."

A group of members getting ready to enjoy the beach at Dunnet Bay. Rebecca Winkle is on the left. Paul Etough and Owen are standing. Sheila Lewry is sitting in their shadow. We work Family History together. Then in the flowered dress is Caroline Roper and then Una Etough and the little castle maker is Zachery Winkle.
This is a picture on the door of the Victorian Room in the school where we meet for church. In this room we hold several classes on Sunday. The actual room looks exactly like this photo with the fireplace, and wooden desks an the same kind of blackboard. It is really charming, but dreadfully cold in the wintertime.
I opened the desk to show that the old fashioned slates and chalk are still in use in this particular classroom where we meet for Young Womens on Sunday. It is called the Victorian Room and I think it is kept in this old antique mode for the nostalgia. Science is taught in this room. The desks are just as I had as a child. Note the ink well hole.
A cottage on the way out to Tongue, overlooking a beautiful little bay. Note the pile of peat at the side of the house. The windows in the roof and the front porch are additions to this house which was built in the 1800s. Picture it without them and you will see the typical croft which dot the landscape here.
