Did You Hear About My Wife's Mom?

Archie and Ronda went to see her mom this afternoon. It is a week since Ronda's step dad passed away unexpectedly. Her mom is not eating and drinking as she should. She has a little cough that is worrysome. It may be time to consider having her mom move in with Archie and Ronda or into assisted living.

Not Fun!

Did You Hear About Our Quiet Evening?

Archie and Ronda Brown love to have a quiet evening at home with nothing better to do than sit and watch an episode of Law and Order. The episode tonight is even one of they have seen before, but they don't care. All they wanted was not to have to think or move. It was a nice evening.

Did You Hear About Our Building Project?

Because of the numerical growth of the congregation where Archie and Ronda Brown worship, there is a construction project going on. The auditorium is expanding from 450 seats to nearly 900. The Education wing and offices are being expanded and the parking lot is growing. It will be nice when it is finished, but for now it is a pain!

Did You Hear About The Island of the Blue Dolphin?

Archie Brown was given a copy of the book, The Island Of The Blue Dolphins for Christmas. It was a gift from his granddaughter. Archie enjoyed the read, it is a story of a young female stranded on an island, something of a young Robinson Crusoe. Archie was astonished to find out in the author's note at the back of the book that the book is based on a true story!

Did You Hear About Walter Reed Army Hospital?

Archie Brown was never in the military service, but he grew up in a time when patriotism was the order of the day. The debacle at Walter Reed Army Hospital has outraged him and everyone he knows. Fortunately the one's in charge have lost their jobs and remedies are going to be made to the facility and the care given to our wounded troops should improve. It is a disgrace they should never have had to endure!

Did You Hear About Prices Going Down After You Bought?

Archie Brown was in charge of finding and buy the airline tickets for a church group to go to the Caribbean this summer. He was very excited when he was able to find the fares were lower than they had been in several years, so he quickly bought the tickets for all of the group who were already committed to go. He was very proud of himself.

But a day or two later, a few more decided to join the group. When Archie priced their tickets, he found that they had dropped by $30 each ticket! And the next day when one more was added, it was $25 less than the day before!

The early bird sure got the worm on this one!

Did You Hear About Charlie's Funeral?

Archie and Ronda Brown went to the funeral for Charlie B. today. The words said were very nice, several times they laughed at some memory brought up by the minister. Often there were tears at the recall of some poignant memory of the importance Charlie had been to one or the other family member. There were three letters of tribute read, two from grand daughters one from a great grandson. All three were very sweet.

I think Charlie's wife, Marcie, was encouraged and comforted.

Charlie passed away, leaving everyone in the Archie Brown home sad. Charlie was Archie's father in law. Ronda loved Charlie because he had been so good to her mom. Charlie and Marcie had been married for thirty five years, after each had been hurt by a previous mate. They really had a wonderful life together, in large part because Charlie was such a kind man. He will be missed!

Did You Hear About Camp Lonehollow?

Archie Brown has been attending texas summer camps, either as a camper or volunteer counselor for more than forty years. Most of his experience has been at a camp between Bandera and Medina, or at a camp in the Hill Country north of Austin, between Round Rock and Marble Falls. But those camps are rather primitive compared to Lonehollow camp, between Vanderpool and Utopia!

The owners of Lonehollow have a combined fifty years camping background, which makes Archie more confident they know what they are doing! Lonehollow offers all the typical camp experiences, horseback riding, two private lakes, hiking around the 3000 acre camp grounds, and more. Plus, unlike any camp Archie ever attended there are pillowtop mattress and granite showers!

If you would like to register here are the dates and prices. For more info, call 830-966-6600!
