Room With A View...

It's been a while since I last blogged, but things have been pretty hectic around here. I've been trying to get everything out of boxes, and things put away as organized as possible; however, in this tiny apartment, it's hard.

Our new home is in Glen Mills, PA. It's a suburb of Philadelphia, and we really like the area. We are about 5 miles from Delaware, the home of no state taxes, and there is a Target very close by! Our new address is 8303 Arment Drive, Glen Mills, PA 19342. I plan on sending out change of address post cards, but again, it's not been top of the list!

Anyway... we are on the top floor, which is nice, and have a balcony so I can still have a container garden. It's not flower beds and a pretty yard, but it's better than nothing! I'm not complaining. We have a pool and tennis courts on the grounds, and recycling bins are provided. I really like our complex... there's lots of grass for the pups, and they thoroughly enjoy the softness of the grass vs. concrete and asphalt.

Here are a few pictures from our balcony!

Whistle While You Work...

I know... I've fallen down on the job! It's been 2 weeks since the last blog entry... well, lots has happened in the past few weeks. Troy and I relocated to our new home in Philadelphia. We're in a little town named Glen Mills. I do miss the city conveniences... public transportation, a short walk to the Wawa or Walgreens. In our new place... it's a ride in the truck, but it is a lot like our home in Mississippi with Targets everywhere and grocery stores galore. We have lots to look forward to in Glen Mills. It's an easy commute to the airport, and there are bus and train routes all around. We like it...

I still haven't made any new friends. Not that I want to replace any of the ones I left in MS, but it gets kinda lonely around these parts when I'm home and Troy's at work. I'm sure all of that will come with time, but I'm about ready to get impatient!! Hehe!

I have pictures from our new view and others to upload, but I'm so tired from the move in and all of that drama. I'll blog more about it when I can focus!

Anyway... just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you... my faithful readers, and there is much, much more to come in the next few days...

For all of you in Mississippi... Wish you were here!! It's so nice here. The highs have been around 85 with about 60% humidity. There is usually a breeze, and we've been going green all week! No AC... we've been chillin' with the windows and balcony door open. Yippee... I can't wait to see my first fall. We'll talk later when the snow comes... I have a feeling I'll be missing the 75 degree Decembers!

TTFN!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun...

Yesterday was our first anniversary. I can't believe it's been a year! The time has gone by so fast... so much has happened, and we've laughed, lived, and loved in the short 12-months. We've added new members to our family--our puppy, Marlee, and our new niece, Izzy; we've celebrated my sister and her husband's engagement and marriage; and most of all, we've moved to another STATE!

We celebrated by visiting The Franklin Institute. It's a huge museum in Philadelphia and had a traveling National Geographic exhibit on display, Real Pirates. It was showcasing Expedition Whydah (wi-dah)--the only pirate ship to ever be discovered and to ever be discovered in American waters. It was really interesting.

The museum also had an electricity exhibit, a giant heart exhibit, an amazing machine exhibit, a Sky Bike exhibit, and lots of other stuff. We walked through a giant foam heart; made our own electricity with magnets; and played with different kinds of machines in the exhibits. Then, we went to an IMAX movie, Wild Oceans. It was TB's first IMAX experience... I never knew that sardines were so popular. According to this movie, they are basically the center of the food chain for dolphins, sharks, birds, and humans on the east banks of South Africa. It was very interesting.

We ended the night with dinner at Phillip's Seafood. It was yummy, and then we came home and played with the pups. We watched the season finale of Design Star and the season premier of Summer Showdown. It was a fun day followed by a relaxing night.

There are pictures of the day on the Black's Web Albums link. Enjoy!
