WayfaringStrangers

Behn and I just went on an after-dinner walk to get some decaf coffee. We failed to remember that nothing in Lexington is open past 7 p.m. Oops! Gotta love small town life. So now we're brewing some java at our very own Trader's Coffee Shop :)

Hey all, this is Behn. It's been a while since I've posted on here. The month of February has been a very busy one. Work in the Rockbridge Regional Library System has been busy of late. A book club for boys 8-12 has started in the Buena Vista Branch, which I now manage, and the headquarters in Lexington. The book group has been formed in order to encourage reading among boys, who statistically are behind girls when it comes to literacy and reading levels. The name of the group is Guys Read!, and was inspired by John Scieszka (author of The Stinky Cheese Man et all). The group has met twice so far, with three boys attending each time. I'm confident that it'll continue to grow. We also upgraded our system database yesterday, which has gone more smoothly than expected. Overall I enjoy working with my coworkers and serving the patrons. It has been a great experience so far, a new and exciting challenge. A couple weeks ago Megan and I were able to drive up to De...

Sorry we haven't been blogging! The work weeks just fly by. I would have blogged last weekend, but these two troublemakers were here ;-) They came because I found them dates to the VMI winter formal. They had a lot of fun and we loved having them around. The weekend before, we were in Delaware visiting family and spending time with these people (among others): It snowed A LOT. It was this special little girl's birthday. Actually, it was a month before her birthday but we had fun celebrating it all the same! This is Harper's Ferry on the way home from DE. It was really pretty.... ....but is it spring yet????

Last weekend we had the privilege of our friends Kiri and Brian coming to visit us again. Last time they came it was autumn and we hiked House Mountain. This time it was cold, dark and snowy. I was a little worried about what we'd find to do. Kiri and Brian (and Behn and I) prefer to be outside if possible. It was really dumb to be worried- I should have known we'd have an awesome time no matter what the weather! We enjoyed lots of good food, played games, laughed, played in the snow, and watched movies. Thanks for visiting guys! We love you!
