I’ve been feeling this space is a tad vacant since November 1, mostly as I’ve turned to Facebook to update others about events here. Facebook is quite popular in Laos and many here have a Facebook page. Rarely do I have my Laos students or friends check out the website so I’ve been posting pictures where I’ll get the most traffic.
Take a look at the below visuals. For full stories, go to: https://www.facebook.com/connie.wieck.5
Note: My most recent purchases for the Center: Stick leaf rakes for the courtyard. Taking over Suher’s caretaker duties last week, while he was at home helping with the harvest, gave me a new respect and admiration for his work. He needed new rakes!

Dear Connie: I am way to old to “remember” so my piano and my swimming are OK, but names – writing – facts are
Long gone. I have been unable to even open your e-mails the last couple of months so my computer is asleep. It is
A new computer selected by my grandson and it is way too smart. Even though I am writing to you now,….I have no
Idea if you will be able to even get it.???? My days are full: I play the piano 6 times a week – mostly ½ hr at a time. –
I play Dominos 4 times a week with neighbors. I still attend church on Sunday….but my love is swimming every Friday
40 lengths in the big pool. Since twice my swimming suit shredded and the life guard is 17 years old, I get a lot of
teasing here at the Downs.
I have really enjoyed seeing the photos that you have shared – you are looking mighty good.
Now I am hoping this note will finally reach you. Thanks for keeping in touch. I so enjoy hearing from you.
Your S. Carolina friend …Lilburne
