Bon Voyage. Well, Mom and Dad are off on another exotic adventure. Traveling the world. Living the high life. We hope they are having a memorable time and come back with even more stories for

the Renuart gatherings.

Lin's Trip

2009-04-29T10:12:00.001-07:00

So, Lin has returned from the real world of the mid-Atlantic / Caribbean Turks and Caicos islands. Pictures, not words, are the only adequate way to express the beauty from afar. This link takes you to a slide show by the local tourism folks. Enjoy vicariously or plan your next trip.

Evidently the rum is quite good there as well.

After several years in gymnastics Holly, along with consultation from Kim and I and her instructors, has decided to take a break. Quite dedicated, she was up to 4 days per week, 3 1/2 hrs per day. As you can imagine, grades began to slip. Those have come up and she has more time with her family and friends. Taking pictures and video was limited at events, but we were able to get a few. This is one of her last events. Enjoy.

Chicken Golf

2009-03-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

The 2009 Chicken Challenge is officially completed. After 2 grueling days of turf destruction in the rain-soaked wilderness of Caswell County, both teams achieved a victory. The corn fed Renuart boys won the first round and the Asia dynamos came back on day 2 to extract revenge.

The Roese brothers finally sealed the deal in sudden death, an event witnessed by a local free-range rooster. Jerry was medalist with a 79 on day one.

A great time was had by all. Surely the stories will grow in time as they are told. The course will now be closed temporarily for repairs.

Hill Family Update

2009-03-26T08:36:00.001-07:00

Ben is working hard and thankful to have a job. His evenings are spent playing, sometimes with Matthew. I am 4 weeks from end of my Junior year and only 7 classes from BA in Health Services Management and Administration.

Matthew is going through lots of interesting changes. He is finally in 50th percentile for height and weight. Ben worries he may have my height gene. I worry that he may have Ben's ... well, you know what. We recently invested in program called "Your Baby Can Read". www.yourbabycanread.com. We can see a difference in only a week. Must have my "brain gene" as well. He is now jabbering a lot - that is from Ben's genes. He recently pooted on Ben's lap and proclaimed, "Ahhh, poo poo". Now the favorite "saying" for both of them. Potty training starts soon.

Taylor has been hanging out here some too. What a sweetie. Those two babes are very cute together. Another generation of cousins.

We love and miss you all. Come visit soon, Easter maybe.

Haley's high school team went undefeated in the season opening tournament, winning 17-0, 2-1, and 5-0. Though Haley's playing time was minimal because she missed practice on Tuesday, she batted twice and scored one. She vowed that she would not miss another practice.

A fun weekend in Kernersville !

What a beautiful winter day here in central NC. And what we love about NC snow, pretty on arrival and gone after a couple of days.

Pictures capture one second in time. They help us freeze and share that moment and produce

a visual record of our histories. In this post, while we are on the Roese family, is a picture

from 1992.

Everyone here in NC is feeling very grateful for the recent visit from Ted ... and Donna - the goddess of nature. Over 6 inches of snow in our yard at the moment and one of the biggest snow events in years. Children all over central NC are smiling and having a blast today.

Roese visit

2009-01-19T08:49:00.000-08:00

It was a busy weekend with several "gatherings" of the Renuart clan. The occasion was the all too rare visit from some of the Roese clan, Ted, Donna, Erin, and Megan. The weather did not permit the intense golf competition but there was lots of food and games and many stories (some true) told. Gatherings occurred at the farm, the Townsends, and Lin's where the Roeses viewed all the work Lin has done on her lovely, and very homey, home.

Missy's House

2008-12-01T03:42:00.000-08:00

We bought our (cut) Christmas tree in the cold drizzling breeze yesterday and have it up already. Nice to drink our morning coffee to the lights and smell of the tree! Got an e-mail from Lin this a.m. The Christmas cookie bake is on for Sunday 12/14 starting about 11:30 at her house. There is always a big need for folks to decorate the cookies! Remember to bring a container in which to take home your share. :)

Tim is 50 !!

2008-11-26T16:45:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday and congratulations young man.
Welcome to the top of the hill. Quite a view
from here.

Tim was born in Kinston, NC in 1958. He grew up on a small farm, the youngest child. He was the first in his family to attend college, and he attended ECU and UNC Chapel Hill. Tim and Missy met at a contra dance in early 1992 and married a few months later at the end of August. He works for the City of Winston-Salem as writer of housing grants, where he focuses on working on solutions for homelessness and helps organizations such as homeless shelters find government funds. He has played basketball since high school and now coaches youth basketball teams in his spare time.

Gymnastics

2008-11-24T13:12:00.000-08:00

Holly finished second at her gymnastics meet this past weekend. We are waiting to see if she qualified for the state meet to be held near Charlotte in 2 weeks.

My next learning project is to figure out how to include video of her flying through the air. Video files I have are too large so need to figure out how others get all those videos on the net and their websites.

Holidays

2008-11-22T06:30:00.001-08:00

Has it been a year already? Can hardly believe the holidays are here again. 33 days to Christmas. Our plans are to be at the farm Thursday mid-day and go to Michael and Katherine's for dinner, she cooking her very first turkey. And I think we may all be planning a leaner holiday season and watching our pennies. I have told several clients about the ritual Missy began with the presents and some are planning on doing it with their families and friends this year.

Anyway, we look forward to seeing you. Bring your party hats.

Black Bear

2008-11-20T14:22:00.000-08:00

Good morning,

It is trash day in Telemark. Theo was greeted first thing by George - the big black bear that comes to visit. He found a nice full bag of trash at the neighbors as we all watched. Meg was a little shocked, but Ted and I loved it. Better keep my lunch in the zip lock bag and hidden in the purse.

Have a fun day,

Donna
