And Awaaaaay We Goooooo!

What a beautiful sunrise this morning - even if it was 8:15 before I could actually see it. Fortunately it was clear so you could see the beautiful orange, red and pinks! thought you might appreciate it too.

Nov 5, 2010 Sunrise - 8:15 a.m.

I am sure my neighbors wonder when I take pictures out the window. They will be closing their blinds pretty soon!! Of course, the picture doesn't really capture the beauty of it all. Still...looks good.
 
We are packed and ready to go (almost). There is always something that we forget to take. I am hoping that I brought everything this time.
 
I stopped to visit a girl I know this morning after I picked up US funds from the bank. She is struggling with the loss of her mom in an accident. I can relate to how empty she feels without her mom there - especially since she lived with her. I only visited my mom every day and helped her where I could. The emptiness is the same though. I said I would give her a hand with getting to appointments etc. when I get back as she is not able to drive right now. Wow, I can't imagine not being able to drive when and where I wanted to go. Hopefully that will not be for long though.
 
Anyway, off into the wild blue yonder!
