"Go East", they said...: On the road again....so soon.

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

On the road again....so soon.

How much can one jam into a quick visit?

We found out a whole lot was possible!

It was a whirlwind visit, all too short and sweet, however our daughter was transported from our life here in the east, back to the city airport on time and is now flying in the upper reaches of the skies, heading once again towards the west coast.

Comparing quality & prices from the east to the west...

Our early morning alarm had all rise while still dark outside and on the road for the journey in the wee hours, VERY early in fact, so a coffee stop was in order along the way, soon after leaving the driveway for both hubby and daughter. Mom needs to wait a bit, and besides I had my own agenda (wink, wink).

At the airport we noted the changes there in just a few days, with much in the way of Christmas decor all about, white posts wrapped with red tinsel and dressed up to look like candy canes, and a huge christmas tree in the center of the lobby with bobbles and lights all lit up for us. It was fun and festive walking through the terminal heading for the waiting room after check in was complete.

Just me and my baby sister!

After saying our "see you again soons", we drove off and made a quick visit to the gas station for a fill up, then for a "mommy kind of coffee" at the local Starbucks (remember my agenda mentioned above, this was it!) as you might recall it's a long journey from our home to the nearest store.

Today, I was most amused to note the seemingly early Christmas decor there as well, maybe a coincidence along with the airport terminal, though thinking how fast it will soon be here.

I decided upon the new "Gingerbread Latte", now being offered at these coffee establishments, though I request...half sweet, triple shot, whip with nutmeg topping.

Can you say....Good Morning?

Yippee!

I sipped that warm baby on the journey home, one little sip at a time, savoring the flavor, warming my hands while holding onto it and never wanting to set it down. Need I say I throughly enjoyed this little treat today?
