Updates from Browntown


It's been quite awhile since I posted any news here. It seems like Facebook is now the place for sharing news. MUCH has happened in the past few months, the MOST exciting news is that Win and Kris got married! Most of you are aware, but some may not know. It was a very nice affair, and in true Win fashion, the ceremony took place on the grounds of the 4-H center in Abingdon, VA. It was a beautiful day and we are thrilled to welcome Kris into our family. Here's a small preview of the pictures that are posted online at the link below.



If you want to see more head on over to my Picasa shared photo album (there are lots of other pictures there as well besides the wedding photos) Here's the link:

Have a look around and enjoy !

Mom and the LOEP team are hard at work preparing for their next trip to Liberia next January. The team will have a different make up for the next trip. Phyllis won't be making the trip as she is in a new job position in Richmond. While she won't be there 'with' the team, her presence will surely be felt as she is contributing to preparations and training. Welcome new 'trainer' Karen Garner who will work with hearing impared children and such. Mom will fill in the details as time permits either here or on the LOEP Blog. Stay tuned!

Another major change in the last few months is that Aunt Ginger and Uncle Rich will be moving to Florida! Wish them luck as they begin this new chapter in their lives. They have wanted to move south for some time now. Most of you know they've wintered in Florida for several years. They will be in the Jacksonville area which is closer to Gina, Thomas and sweet sweet Remi! Lucky them!

Several weeks of major travel have soured me on airline travel. I won't bore you all here with details, but just know that I've been successful in pursuading Agfa that "work from home" makes so much more sense. I begin the pilot project very soon. It's so nice working here in Browntown. No one can see the 'bunny slippers' Just kidding, I don't REALLY wear them, but Duke is constantly by my side which is just fine by him and me.

Write/post when you all can. And send a shout out to Win, Kris, Aunt and Uncle as they all begin new chapters in their lives.

It is interesting how facebook has become the preferred media so quickly- over blogs and even websites. I attended a workshop on social media a few weeks ago. The ad agency that ran the class noted that VW's recent ad campaign features only their facebook address, not their website. Proof of the power of the social networking thing. Neat stuff.

I'll never be without my google reader, though. :)

Oh and PS- congrats on working from home! That's got to be such a welcomed change.
