2008 ACFW Conference pictures

September 30, 2008

I just got back from the 2008 ACFW conference in Minneapolis, where I got to hang out with a few of my Summerside Sisters! Here are a couple of the pictures I took. Hopefully, next year, we’ll all be there, and we can get a group photo.

ACFW Conference

September 24, 2008

I returned from ACFW Sunday evening.  It was great to meet with Debby, Miralee and Tammy.  The four of us never did get together at the same time, but I had good private visits with all of them. I’d met Tammy at other conferences, but we have Summerside Press in common now, so the meeting was even more special. We were all taking pictures, I believe, and I got a few to share with you.  The camera batteries (recharageable) seem slow to recharge and wouldn’t send the photos yesterday.  I’ll buy some new batteries today, and hopefully be able to share some of our fun times with you.  I have a busy schedule this week, playing catch-up.  Irene


My Hero helped me upload pictures of Maiden!

My Hero, also known as Hubby, helped me upload pictures we took of Maiden, NC, this past summer. Yes, we are a bit behind on sorting through our digital pictures! Isn’t everyone? :)

Maiden reminded me a lot of where I grew up in Victoria, Virginia. We visited Maiden on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we could feel a sense of peace. I always love visiting North Carolina, but we had never seen this particular part of the state.

Enjoy the pictures!

Here is one view:

Notice the church steeple visible in this one:

I think this church is also lovely:
