John was thrilled to accept the deputy chief of mission (DCM) position in Georgetown, Guyana, for his next post! We got word on the drive to Fayetteville on Wednesday, so we were able to celebrate with Phillip, Michele, and Ginger. It’s a big honor and he will do an excellent job! It’s exciting to start thinking about the move next summer – congratulations, John!
I was also thinking of my next job – my impending retirement in May 2025 – as I started some of the paperwork and planning this week. Exciting!
Mary came out for coffee before heading downtown to the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival on Wednesday, so we got a bonus visit with her this week. We also saw the Hoopers and some other of John’s Hendrix friends at a happy hour in Little Rock Thursday afternoon on our way home from Fayetteville. We had lunch today with David and Alison.
We had a good, albeit short, visit to Fayetteville. We had a family get-together at Phillip’s Wednesday evening, which was bittersweet since it was our first real time together without Pete. I walked the Mud Creek trail Thursday morning before we went to have lunch with Ginger, and got in some quality time with Phoebe the doggo.
