just a common thing to you. They have always been rather mesmerizing to me when I would see them on TV or in videos. I always wanted to see them. I am sure that we didn't get as big a show as it is further north, but it was nice to finally see them.


I hope so on the house, though I am going to miss it. It is so beautiful there, and the moon rises over the lake, making it gorgeous. I liked that the house was sorta rustic and easy to keep clean, though near water is always a bit harder to keep clean. It was a sweet little town, and the people are wonderful there. We couldn't ask for better next-door neighbors; they cared for the house as their own when we were not there, and had the BEST July 4th parties and fireworks on the lake. It was just getting too inconvenient for this time in life, and the other house will be better for us. Not only is it out of the way, but we were waiting for our phone contract to end so we could try to find a carrier that picked up in those hills. We could pick up in certain spots in the house, but nowhere once we went outside or in the whole town.
