Groundbreaking...

            This weekend we met with Darlene Salmon to take pictures of our "lot" on which our new home is to be built.  Joe and Melanie, Ashley, Patrick and I attended.

This is the retention pond behind our land.  It is down right now as the area is very dry.  Tomorrow is going to get to 28 degrees at night, but right now it is sunny and 70!




And these are the homes to the right.  I believe the woman in the first house (on right in pic) is "Brenda" but I will need to re-meet her personally soon to get better acquainted.

The very first piece of equipment that mowed the lot. 

There will be more equipment by 21st Dec at latest. 

And this is Darlene and Ashley, finding bits of the earth for our "lot" box. 

The "lot" box! Nifty!!

Thanks everyone!

.  We hope and trust our new home will be a sweet and safe haven for us all. 

Halloween and Orbs

Joe and Melanie went to St. Augustine, Florida around the time of Halloween.  They hoped for a bit of history and got more than they bargained for when they snapped this photo in the cemetery with their digital camera.  What a great, and scary, picture of a "ghost" traveling around in an orb.  Nifty!  And a bit scary!  This is the enlarged orb from the top of the photo.
