Just kidding, I'm very much in Florida and loving it already. Water, water, and more water. Ahhhhh. I love it.

We had a very good, intersting trip. We took our time and visited relatives and sights on the way. My kids thought Louisiana was cool so we had to stop and take a boat ride on the swamp. It was a lot of fun. It seemed like traveling through that state was one bridge after another and my kids loved it. One time I asked my son as we were approaching a bridge what we were going over now and my daughter popped up with, "It's water Mommy," like I was total lunatic. It was hysterical.

Hi Auriel

Your trip sounded beautiful, I love those long drives and watching out for birds, wildlife and interesting things. there is so much to talk about with your family and friends on those wonderful drives.

I have to be near water now, I couldn't live anywhere else, it's so calming and centering, I know what you mean.

Aren't kids the greatest! I had my girlfriend and her two kiddies over last night and the youngest one (2 1/2 yr old boy) was trying to get me with these large BBQ tongs (don't know what you guys call them? - you use them to pick things up with on a BBQ). Anyway, he said "got you Tanya, you're dead now!" So I pretended to be dead and then said, "Hey, you have to bring me back to life now!" and he said "You can't come back to life" and I replied laughing, "Yes I can" and he denied it again and then his 7 yr old sister looked at her brother, then looked at me straight in the eye and said, in the most confident tone I've ever heard her speak, "Yes, you can". And I just looked at her, and thought, Hmmmm, she may be a future Linda Goodman fan! Her "knowing" came from somewhere, it really surprised me.

Anyway, great to see you back, happy, and home Auriel

PS, you had me there for a second there with the Montana thing, just a second though

I can be a big tease!

Kids are awesome. On the trip, my oldest daughter (Aneasha) was mad at my youngest daughter (Kassiana) for finishing off a drink. Kassiana picked up the drink and poured what was left of it on Aneasha and said "no I didn't, see, there's some left!" All I could do was laugh.

Auriel

Ha ha, she's spunky ! You have given your children lovely names, were you inspired or just thought them up?

And palm trees, Morning Storm? I always imagine Florida as being so tropical. Good Luck for your new Life there.

Morning Storm,

So glad you and your family have arrived safely in Florida! Sounds as though your trip were fun and entertaining to boot!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful new beginning in your new Home.

Seems as though so many of the knowflakes are either by the sea or in the mountains!!

Annie, the open mouthed smile is a big d.
Is that what you were trying to attain?
Yah, Morning Storm, what GORGEOUS names! You must have been inspired truly. Are you right on the ocean?
Blessings,
Gal

How observant you are Annie It must be for clarity of thought, with the pure air of the heights and the power of the waves. Come to think of it, my dream home would be where the mountains/bush/rainforest meet the ocean. Mmmmm, heavenly

My girls were named out of compromise. My husband wanted to name my oldest daughter Alicia and I wanted to name her Anastasia. We put them together for Aneasha. He wanted to name our baby Cassandra and I wanted to name her Tatiana. We put them together for Kassiana. We did the same for their middle names. Aneasha's middle name is Kaeleen and Kassiana's is Shaeleen.

Lindy, there are palm trees galore. Look in any direction!

It seems like being by the water increases my intuition and senses. My kids feel the difference too. Kassiana is only 3 and every time we go to the beach she talks to her knew friend. She calls him "Fodder." She's never referred to Lloyd as anything but Daddy and says that's not who she's talking to. She's pretty young with a lot of water in her. She has Moon, Venus and Mars conjunct in Cancer. I wonder if she'll keep her friend when she realizes it's not normal. Know what I mean?

I'm right by the ocean. It's about 5 minutes from where we're living. You can feel it everywhere though.

Moonglow, Me too! That would be the ultimate place to live!

Auriel

Hi all!
Thanks Gali for the tip on , 'tis my typing that amiss. Thank you for your help!!

Happy you and yours are happy by the sea, Auriel! And how wonderfully you and your husband compromised on your childrens names!!!

Moonglow, don't know just where my perfect home wuld be...my brother says Alaske with the mountains and sea is beyond beautiful!! I love both. But the sea calls to my Piscean nature and I feel most at home there.

Peace to all,
Annie
