I had a cow!

"West Of", Westie Award, Charleston, S.C.
I won a cow! Since I moved West Ashley I was eligible to win one of the annual "Westie" awards from "West Of" newspaper named for our local icon - the Coburg Cow statue. Nothing could have tickled me more. I think you can enlarge the image below to make it readable but I was primarily nominated for all the student mentoring programs I coordinate at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital. Happy day!

Editor Lorne Chambers dropped off my cow on Friday afternoon and I've been grinning ever since. Thanks folks!

    Dammit, Waldo. You beat me to it.

    Joan, on a complete detour from this post, I have to tell you something funny that happened to me today. I was in a cemetery I'd never been in before, trying to find a certain gravestone to photograph for the Find-A-Grave website (I'm a volunteer photographer), and after stumbling around in the freezing wind for about fifteen minutes, I finally found it. I had just finished snapping the shot, and I looked at the next stone over and jumped out of my skin - it said "Joan Perry".

      Wow! There aren't too many of us. I hope you got a picture?!

      When I first joined facebook I "friended" all the other Joan Perrys. It was ridiculous. Joan Perry said to Joan Perry said to Joan Perry. I almost forgot which one was me. :))
