Happy New Year ... Starting Over...Entry #478553


Hope everyone had a wonderful start to the year! Mine was kinda ... slow speed and not really so interesting, except we were with friends and that's always a good way to start the year. Smile

We did end 2006 on a good note. Spending the last couple of days of it looking at a possible new landing site, we found a beautiful little town that felt quite comfortable and a realtor who seems happy to help us find what we need. I do have a good gut feeling about it and I'm going with that.

To top it off, on our way from there to our friends' place, we took a small detour and went by Niagara Falls. Although it was a frigid, dreary day weather-wise, it was wonderful to walk along the little sidewalk on the American side of it and snap a bunch of photos. Then, to top that off, we went to lunch (and to warm up) at the Niagara Hard Rock Cafe. I have wanted for years to go to a HR Cafe and finally ... found out why I've wanted to go. It was such fun walking around the restaurant (nearly empty since they we had to wait 10 minutes for them to open), looking at all of the incredible memorabilia, and snapping more photos. They didn't object and were likely amused by the 40 year old woman acting like a teenager. *Laugh*

So they're $10 hamburgers ... they're wonderful $10 hamburgers! And we got to listen to great music and eat with the Beatles and Elvis and the Rolling Stones and Jimmy Page and ... well, with their stuff, anyway. There is actually one within 50 miles of here, also, that I haven't been in yet. Guess I'll have to do that before we move.

For the starting over part: I've decided that instead of going the full 500 entries in this blog, I'm going to start fresh with the New Year. So this will be the last entry here. As soon as I have a new link, I'll post it above. I started this one on January 24, 2005, so it is nearly two years full ... a good restart point, as I see it. I don't feel a need for a break from blogging, since I've done that much of December, so it should be up and going by tomorrow. Quite the opposite, I'm feeling recharged (even after nearly a week of traveling) and ready to push my goals for 2007 (crossing my fingers now that the charge is long-lasting like the Energizer Bunny).


"Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
