Fizz Boom Read Science Volunteering
Leon County Public Library Eastside Branch Library
Saturday, July 26, 2014, 12:45 – 2;45 PM
As part of the Summer Reading program of the Leon County Public Library, we were volunteers helping the library staff conduct some science experiments that were fun while encouraging the kids to read.
We were both at the booth where we did a fake volcano using baking soda, vinegar, and detergent. Bhanu helped make the volcano and bought all the needed materials.
We were set-up the Meeting Room North side wall. VtS and I helped with the demonstrations. I had to run after about 1 hour of help. VtS did stay the whole time.
It was great helping the library staff and its partrons.
Wallpaper Removal, Clean Wall, Paint the Wall
July 2, 2014 and July 3, 2014
One of the rooms with wallpaper still in place. It has been more than a decade since the wallpaper was hung. It has started to peel-off.
After more than adjusting with the wallpaper in our kitchen and bathrooms we decided to remove them and replace with the painted walls.
Wallpaper has been removed exposing the sheet rock. Allowed to dry for a day.
The work began this morning and will continue tomorrow and probably the day after. We have hired a trusted company to do the work. We have worked with this company before.
I will post the updates of before and after wallpaper in few days.
The dried sheet rock has been painted with Behr Premium Plus Interior Satin Enamel paint. Morning Breeze color
Both on Saturday and Sunday members of the Asian Coalition of Tallahassee entertained the children and adults at the Children’sFestival for the Chain of Parks Event organized by Le Moyne. Chain of the Parks is the premier art event in Tallahassee and 2014 was the fourteenth such event.

Today VtS and I traveled to Atlanta, GA and visited the Atlanta Hindu Temples of Shri Balaji and Lord Shiva. We left town in the morning around 9:35 AM and took our regular route of US 319 and then we took I 75.
We stopped at Tifton around noon and had lunch at a fast food restaurant. We then drove in I 75 N toward Atlanta, GA. We arrived at Hindu Temple of Atlanta sometime around 3 PM. Since it was Friday afternoon there were only few devotees. We went inside both the Balaji temple and the Shive temple. The priest gave special pooja and we offered our donations and went around the sanctum sanctorum and took some prasad.
We spent about an hour and left to our place for stay.
