News From Browntown
Grammy is the Birthday Girl today! Birthday Luncheon with the Garden Club gals at Wayside is planned. I just checked with Grammy and she said the ladies are going ahead with the plan despite weather. Nothing will keep those GC gals from a party!
Lots of Feb. birthdays in this crowd. Isabella (little cousin in ATL) is a February B-Day Girl too.
Surprisingly heavy snowfall this morning. Although only flurries were predicted we woke up to a blizzard blowing through from the South. Dad headed out to Dulles (bound for Mobile, AL today) and reports that Rt. 28 just five miles from Dulles is a white-out, traffic is a mess and flights are delayed. Oops - Dad just updated by cell that he is on the plane and waiting for clearance to take off. It is still snowing like crazy but is expected to stop any minute now.
Grammy, Auntie Char and I went to a lecture at Eastern Mennonite University last night. Jim Wallis, author of "Why the Right Got it Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It", was the speaker. His message was profound and encouraging. The auditorium was filled to capacity with people anxious to hear a speaker who's made no secret of his opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq war and has been a burr under the saddle of the Televangelist crowd. Amazing to find so many like-minded people in our beautiful Valley of the Bushies!

Thank you! How nice to receive a birthday greeting from someone not yet known! Looking forward to meeting visions o'johanna!
Thank all you later generations for birthday greeting to old 'un. Emma and Andrew called me Beth gave me some delightful and original birthday gifts--one, a knitted wool red scarf with very detailed fit! Char, Beth and I had a great time in H'burg. Thanks girls. Melanie is sending me a gift card from Costco to spend--hmmm! Char and I are busy exchanging cards we make--fun!
