This morning we went down the street to my Uncle Joe's and Aunt Bea's to watch the shuttle lift off from their backyard. Uncle Joe says they've seen them all from their backyard. Unfortunately, cloud cover was pretty thick so we only saw it for a few seconds. It looked like a rocket--orange flame beneath--as it made its way into orbit. Pretty incredible nonetheless. We are spending our days reading, swimming, fishing and relaxing. We'll leave Thursday afternoon and stop in SC for the evening...and then off to the Swistock's for Tim's East Coast reception.
Fpr my next post I'll recap some of the goings-on that I hadn't had time to post. (long hours of driving left me too tired....so Karen has done the majority.
