Greene News: Vermont, Bibs, Awesome Librarian

Hi Everyone,

Here is a little catch-up news from the Greene household.

I just wrote a long blog, but I accidently deleted it, so here is what I elaborated on in a nutshell.

1. We moved Jimmy into his apartment in San Antonio yesterday. He starts his job with Jones, Lang, and LaSalle tomorrow. Maybe I will send pics of his new apartment in the next blog.

2. Vermont was great - except for the day I fell on my behind at Simon Pearce! I am recovering though.

4. Johnny and Danielle went boating with Jeff and Lori last weekend. And, from what I hear it was such an experience---basically, Jeff drove the boat into a sand dune, and he had to call for a boat tow and it took many, many hours to get back to shore.

5. John returned from Chili and Peru.

6. I started a bib business with my friend Evelyn. Check out my first blog entry at bibshoppe.blogspot.com.

7. I have made $4.80 so far with The Awesome Librarian CafePress business. I have to advertise soon. I am just contemplated how to advertise. Here are some of my summer creations.

8. Jennifer and Coby are excited about the upcoming birth of Camren. He is so cute from the ultrasound. I am still so amazed that we can see what he looks like so clearly.

I always enjoy comments!

Happy Anniversary!

Hi Everyone,

I just thought I would send out a blog since it has been a while since I have done that.

Today, it was Dad and I's 29th anniversary today. I haven't been feeling well lately. I stayed in the house all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and all day today---Until Dad came home and I told him I wanted to just go get a little something to eat at Las Palmas. So, we went to Las Palmas for our anniversay. I bought dad a yellow tie, and he bought me a new digital camera. Yeah, just in time for Vermont. I took a picture of the tie and camera, but for some reason, I can't download it, so you guys will have to use your imagination.

Jennifer is doing fine. Her due date is in late October, but the doctor told her she would probably have it early since she will have to have a c-section. It is a boy - I think everyone knows that, but you Ben...or maybe your dad told you.

Johnny started his new job today at JP Morgan. He was laid off from his investment banking job, and now he will be working on the commercial banking side. He was one of the few who got to keep his job. I think there is something about the UT business degree. I want to think that - of course, Johnny is a very hard worker.

Jimmy did not start the job in Boston. He interviewed for JLL (Jones, Lang, and LaSalle) last week. They asked for the address where they should send the package, but we all know that it isn't a deal until the papers are signed. I hope he gets that job. It will be in San Antonio doing financial analyst stuff for military bases. Basically, I think how it worked is the military hired JLL to do some work for them since JLL is a real estate service company.

I will be leaving for Vermont on Thursday. I will return July 4th. I will email you with the phone number there.

If anyone of you is available to fly up to Boston next week and drive back with Jimmy, let me know. He needs to drive back down here with all his stuff. Usually, John does that, but he won't be here then. We will pay for the airline ticket, motels, etc.

Well, gotta run. Feeling weak again.

As always, check out my CafePress store at www.cafepress.com/awesomelibrary. I have added quite a bit more. Sales are down though. I have only had two orders - other what I bought for myself and what Johnny bought from me. I have made $4.80 so far with big expectations in the future...

Love you.

Patti

Olive Garden-Jim's Grad. & Johnny's Birthday!

Hi All,

Here are a few pics from Jimmy's Graduation Party and Johnny's 24th Birthday Party. We celebrated at the Olive Garden. We had a great time - 14 of us were there! Presents were opened, laughs were had, and we just had a wonderful time. If you weren't there, you were missed.
