According to the CVWMA schedule, tomorrow is one of the every other Wednesday, “Red Wednesday”, curbside recycling pickup days for the neighborhood.
Also, don’t forget street cleaning continues, with China Street and other side streets scheduled for cleaning on Thursday.
From Doug McDonald Welding:
The Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association is scheduled to have its first meeting of 2012 tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 7 pm at the William Byrd Community House.
It should be an interesting meeting. There is sort of a delayed holiday party (attendees are asked to bring finger food) and delayed election of officers. The buyer of the Victory Rug building has said he will attend as well as Councilperson Marty Jewell. And then there may also be more parking permit discussion…..

Elsie Mae Moore MITCHELL lived on the 400 block of S. Laurel St.
Excerpt from her obituary:
MITCHELL, Elsie Mae Moore, 89, of Richmond, went peacefully to be with Jesus, January 8, 2012. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Wylie Mitchell; her beloved daughter, Emily “Boo” Glenn, four sisters and two brothers. She is survived by one son, Joseph W.

Phal’s lovely spring rolls will return with the greens of spring. Rona’s in hibernation this week (wouldn’t you???). Byrd Farm and Faith Farm will certainly be there. A little rain, a little winter visiting before the New Year breaks. Stock up. Keep warm… with SOUP! We had butternut squash and apple soup, cream of fresh mushroom soup and beef vegetable soup – each with broth to “die” for – so soothing. Recipes and ideas needed? just ask!
Xmas Eve and Xmas Day have gone, but Hannuka (Sunset, December 20 to Sunset, December 28) and Kwanzaa (December 26 to January 1) continue. December also holds the Winter Solstice, Saint Nicholas Day (in Europe) and Los Posadas (in Mexico). Ah, all that we don’t know could fill another universe or two.
So, to take solace, why don’t we just meet up at the Renegade market this afternoon from 3pm til Sunset and celebrate the gifts yet given and the goodies yet to be enjoyed. New Year’s Eve and Day approach and we all have a lot of work to do! Let’s enjoy, share and empower each other at every opportunity.
I’m looking forward. How about you?
