Our New Home

I'm so excited about our new home! It was #1 on our list and somehow things just fell into place. It's got a lot of the details we were hoping for and it's in a golf community which I'm sure Felix loves to pieces.

On the downswing - there's still so much packing left to do! The moving truck will be here December 1st and I KNOW I'm in for a world of pain that day. Our biggest concern are the stairs. I read somewhere that an appliance dolly will help that along. We'll see.

Tonight I'm getting together with my sponsee sisters for food, fun and games. We get so silly at these things - so looking forward to a nice evening with the ladies. Whoop! Whoop!

Star Gazing

Saturday evening we took the kids to Bill Sadowski Park. Every Saturday night at 8:00 PM the Southern Cross Astronomical Society sets up their high-powered telescopes and let spectators take a close look at the heavens. It was so tranquil and beautiful. We were able to take a close look at the moon. Have you ever done that? It's so mesmerizing. I could've sat there the whole night analyzing it's brightness and it's craters. We saw Jupiter and some of it's moons. After a while, I just sat on the ground and took it all in. The cool breeze, the crickets chirping, the silhouette of the treetops reaching towards the sky and I felt so small. I know, I was probably a hippie in a previous life, but damn . . . it was grand. If you've never done something like that, I highly recommend you do. Obviously I couldn't really take pictures at this outing but I can tell you, it was well worth the trip. I'm hoping there's something like this in Georgia. If not, I know what's going on my Christmas list.
