It has been one week since we moved into "our new digs" and it has rained a good deal this past few days. But with the rain, comes the rainbow. Spectacular was this one this afternoon as it made a complete double rainbow from horizon to horizon. The colors were so brilliant and the picture doesn't do it justice. If I had not been so tired, I would have looked for the pot of gold. (I am sure it was just over the hill...He! He!) As we continue to unload boxes and boxes and more boxes, we wonder where we will put everything. This is our 7th home purchase and it seems that we accumulate more as time goes on. Everyone our age is downsizing and we do just the opposite I believe. The Mr. has been able to make arrangements to get on a pool team already and his table is up and getting a work-out when he has time. We have made numerous trips to the big box hardware store for things like drapery hardware, screws, brackets of all sorts etc. The critters are settled in and it was about four days before the skinny bitch Hildy decided we were staying. She kept going outside and would sit by the pickup waiting to get in and go "home". Poor thing. The beagle made a great adjustment and the cat, who was my worst worry, adapted best I believe. He has even been outside to explore and found lots of new places to hide. He did make a lot of noise during the ride over the mountain...not a happy traveler. Both dogs had been kenneled for about a week while we were moving and closing etc. When we picked them up and headed over here, you can see how glad to be in their truck they were. They just conked out cold. 
I am so behind on my communication with everyone and have lots of contacts to make yet...but all in good time. Tomorrow we will trek to the Farmer's market here at the old depot and I am anxious to see what is available. We have already found such an abundance of fresh fruit and produce available. We will miss the small-town atmosphere of
Saratoga, but have lots to look forward to here. We have met a few of our neighbors already and they have welcomed us into the neighborhood and that is a good thing. So until I find that pot of gold, I will just keep plugging away.
