Another Day in Paradise

Hi!
It's now about 8:00 Friday evening and it's the first chance I've had to write my blog for today. It's been a busy day putting everything back together in the living room now that the floors are done. They came out beautifully and we're very happy. Everything needed to be dusted and cleaned before going back into place but it's back and it looks great. Next week the contractor that is building our bookcases will be here and I guess we'll go through another mess. It's all worth it though as it's really looking great. Soon we will be able to just relax and not have to be constantly doing house things. I'm looking forward to doing more fun things like running and biking although I do like making the house look nice as well.
Chico went to the groomer today and looks great so we're very happy with the new groomer as well. So far, we've been pleased with all of the services that we've used since we've been here. I found a great hairdresser and chiropractor so that is terrific. Now we'll need to look for dentists, doctors and vets but I'm sure that we'll love them as well.
This place is so incredible and we're really starting to feel blessed that we choose this area to move to. It's like being on a permanent vacation and I've heard that voiced from several of our neighbors as well who have been here for years. Everyone loves it and thinks it's a magical place.
This morning Frank went outside to rake pine needles out of the driveway and one of our neighbors came over with a special rake (which Frank loved) as well as a leaf blower! Incredible, although I did tell Frank that if he was a really good neighbor he would have offered to clear the needles for us! No, seriously, I found that just incredible. People could not be nicer here. It's still surprises me when perfect strangers start talking like you've been friends forever! In a way, I hope I never get used to it and am always grateful. Anyway, we love it here and can't imagine being anywhere else!
Well, tomorrow will be a busy day. We're meeting the Magnum Track Club to run an initiation run of 15 miles which should be grueling at best since it's going to be 100 again! Yikes, I'm nervous as it'll probably take me 4 hours and that's a long time to be HOT! I'll let you know how we make out. We met several of the members last week at the 1/2 marathon and they were great! Very friendly and one women is interested in hooking up to go biking! Wouldn't that be great! Can't wait to get out and play!
Have a good night!
