A negative is that sometimes it seems pointless to venture out beyond the community. We're living in a comfortable beautiful home, we have all our Apple-geek products and Play Station toys, and a dog who is so much fun ... well, most of the time. Today, with her head plopped on the pillow, she looked a little sad to us.

Today I decided that, for a change of pace, it was time to go shopping. Boxing Day doesn't exist in America, so we weren't necessarily expecting any big sales. The traffic volume was high, but there's a great infrastructure here and so, with the help of our phone and google maps, we found a good-sized mall.
This road sign is a good indicator of the size of the roads here, and most are oh-so-long and straight.
After a couple of stores (and a couple of pairs of shoes!) we made our way home again. So, I've had my fix of shopping for a while, and it's back to the peace and tranquility of our community. It's so easy for us to see why we are content staying close to home.
Oh, and while shopping I talked Greg out of buying a stuffed sheep that was a BIG sheep! It would have needed its own seat in the car!
Today's blog has taken longer than usual for me to create. As I was typing, Fanci kept flipping my hand up, wanting me to pet her. Then she snuggled into me ... and laid her head on the keyboard!
At least I have an excuse for any typing mistakes today.
