  What Would You Name YOUR House? Here is a house that I just learned about this past week.  It was built by George Washington's youngest brother, Charles, back in 1780. Charles Washington surveyed Charles Town and named all of the streets.  'Happy Retreat' is what he named his home.....and yes, George Washington slept there on a regular basis.   A newly formed group called 'The Friends of Happy Retreat' is raising funds to purchase this property in order to secure it for the public.  I sincerely wish them well in their efforts. ( heck, I'd LOVE to tour this house!) I visited Charles Town last week while accompaning my Mom on her trip home.  Mom grew up in Burkittsville, home to the Blair Witch movie.  (Remember that?)  I enjoyed the trip to Burkittsville, but I have to admit I was int... 06/12/2011

I just finished participating in the VREBC and it was FANTASTIC! No technical guru am I to anyone except the girls in my office (I can usually figure out a connection problem or un-jam the copier--they really need me in there), I have been excited about this event since mid-December when I registered.  There were over 2600 attendees and 28 speakers, I think.  Of course, I couldn't listen to them all: 4 different presentations each hour...but of those I attended, just so much great info! I have pages and pages of notes which I will start dissecting immediately.  vrebc.com will also have recordings of the sessions for future listening enjoyment. I'm whupped, though, for sitting at a computer all day long...my brain is a bit on the fried side.  But I'm saying right here, right now:  I reso... 01/04/2010

Avon Bend is a beautiful neighborhood near Charles Town, WV nestled in a curve of the meandering Shenandoah River.  I'm partial to the place: I have lived there almost 15 years and am currently the homeowner association president.  We had our annual community picnic on Saturday.  Couldn't have asked for better weather, and with about 100 people attending, we all got to meet new neighbors and visit with old friends. A moonbounce, 3-Legged Races, horseshoes, a 50/50 raffle and doorprizes, not to mention all the wonderful potluck food, made this event one to remember! Good friend to Avon Bend and 2nd VP of the association, our Debbie W. spearheads the picnic every year.  From shopping, cleaning and planning to making sure everyone gets doorprize tickets, a big plate of food and then cleani... 09/21/2009

So its been about 2 weeks since I've written a blog post or a comment.  Well, see, I had a nasty cold that kicked my a** for over a week.  By the time I got back to work, things had predictably piled up on my desk.  I've gotten pretty much caught up, so back to the Rain! I have a couple of new projects:  Chairing the Education Committee for our Board and taking over the helm of our homeowner's association.  Just call me Madame President. Ok, you don't have to. I'm honored to be involved with both organizations.  I'll talk more about the Ed. Comm. in later blogs, but right now I have to brag on my neighborhood.  Avon Bend on the Shenandoah is a pretty community located next to the Shenandoah River, which actually curves around our community.  Its beautiful.  The Blue Ridge Mountains hove... 02/03/2009

American Military University (AMU), an accredited online university located in Charles Town WV, has been named one of the Top 20 Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities in America in 2008 by Military Advanced Education (MAE).  MAE made this determination by evaluating each school's significance in military education, including number of military contracts, number of military students served, financial aid and scholarship programs available and more "military-friendly" qualities.  Founded in 1991 by a former Marine Corps officer to address the educational needs of the very mobile military, AMU was one of the first online universities.  Its educational system is only one of many great reasons to consider living in Charles Town. 12/08/2008
