A new goal in life

Our family has a new goal in life Not your typical goal, but a goal nonetheless. Daniel asked me if I saw Haley's Comet. As a matter of fact, I did, and remember it well. It last appeared in 1986 and I was 12 yrs old. It's funny, I can't believe I was that young, it seems so recent! I described what I saw and then we went to good ole Google Images and everyone oohed and awed over the pics.

Don't ask me how we ever got started on this topic. Oh, the meteor shower over the last couple nights have fascinated our children. Which leads me to our new goal in life. We are all going to try(Jacobs idea) to live long enough to see Haley's Comet. Daddy will be "the big 90", I will be 87 and we will be celebrating our 68 anniversary. Jessie will be 65, Jacob 63, Danny 61, Emma 59, Micah 57, Gracie 55 & Elijah will be 53 - so there is a good chance most of us will see it. Jacob said "You have a good chance of seeing it with us, mamma, if you drive carefully." Don't ask me WHERE that came from, I am a good driver! Sheesh.

Another 2 min update(I like these)

My camera is still missing after cleaning the trailer. We are going to drive back up to the mountain to see if Hurricane Grace through it in the brush around our trailer...which I doubt.

Pray I find my camera! I miss it and it the SD card has a bunch of pictures of Elijah I never took off.

I had my dental appointment Monday. I turned down the root canal after finding out it was an additional $950 and took my 50/50 chance I would need it by the end of the week, praying God's mercy and healing, but willing to accept what He chose was best. I had 2 hours of work done, it was not fun. I was told the pain would be intense for 2 days and ease off. I got home, the Novocaine wore off and I felt GREAT. I never had pain...ever. Still don't. Can't explain that one. I was supposed to call the dentist yesterday and update him on my pain and possibly find a breastfeeding friendly painkiller(Thanks for the link Kristi!) but when I called I had to confess I felt better than I had in weeks. Thank you guys for your kind emails and offers. I had two offers of meals the next day(which I had to turn down!) I am so thankful for a great bunch of friends.
