Random News from Poverty Rock
Noah is very excited about moving to Portland for six months. Nike calls it a stretch assignment. He gets more money and some good training in something they call allocation. I think Tom probably knows about that from his European sales days. All I know is it has something to do with getting the right product to the right store. Anyway, he is going down on Monday and Tuesday of this week to find an apartment.
I'm dying to hear about Murray's adventures in Ecuador!
The Mercer Island boys basketball team is now in the sweet 16 of the 3A state regional tournament. This afternoon we play Timberline, a team from the Olympia area. They have a D1 level junior who is 6'5" and very very athletic. And, of course, his teammates are pretty talented as well. Gulp!
Jessica's wedding plans are coming along well. Earlier in the week we shopped for (she bought) a few things to put in little activity bags for the 8 children who will be coming. Her dress arrived and next week she has her first fitting. She is supposed to have shoes by then, but, much like KC before her wedding, she is currently shoeless.
I did not make it to the farm this month. Basketball is a cruel mistress. I am going down for a week in March so that I can change registrations and utility records etc. to the LLC. Tiffany was down for a few days and reported that all was well, although she did find a dead mouse in the bathroom and a partial dirt floor collapse in the woodshed (thanks to our California ground squirrels, I suspect). Kay and Judi keep a watchful eye on things in the meantime.
Love,
Dee
