Stuff

Once again, I've been neglecting my blog.  Life has been busy lately what with two college-age children coming and going (and bringing their friends with them).  I'm not complaining - it's wonderful to see them and know they love their home so much they have to bring their friends along as well.  Plus I've gotten to go visit them at their universities - our son is 1 1/2 hours away and our daughter is almost 4 1/2 hours away.  Hubby and I went to see our daughter a couple of weeks ago and made a very nice weekend of it.  We had lunch with her and took her book shopping afterwards.  Then we had dinner and spent the night with some friends in the area.  The next day they took us to Little Saigon in the Washington, DC suburbs where we had a traditional Vietnamese breakfast.  We then drove to Charlottesville where we poked around the great used bookstores downtown, had a nice dinner, and then attended a great concert at the Charlottesville Pavillion.  It was hard to return home after such a great weekend.

Now we're fully entrenched in promoting a concert at our church.  For anyone in the Danville, Virginia area, the concert is November 5 at 7:00 at New Life Community Church.  It's a concert with contemporary Christian music with Robbie Seay Band, Bethany Dillon, and Caleb (featuring the sons of Michael Curtis Chapman).  All ticket sales go to benefit the orphanage in Haiti that we visited over the summer.  It should be a great concert and a blessing to the children that live at the orphanage and/or attend the school (76 children live there and over 500 children from the community attend the school).

After the concert, I expect to get back to my usual blogging ways - for better or worse. ;)
