Did anyone get a chance to check out the moon last night? It was breathtakingly beautiful. I had to go in to Kitchener to pick Mark up, and it turned out to be a great drive. The kind I remember from years ago, when I'd just hop in my car for the hell of it on a lovely summer night, crank up the radio, open all the windows, and just zoom. I watched the moon change color from deep orange to pale gold to silver. The wonderful thing about living in the country is the lack of lights. Especially here in Mennonite central :) Not much was posing competition for that gorgeous globe up there in the dark. I opened up the moon roof and let the cool night air shush around me while I listened to station that was playing swing music from the 40s. All in all, one of the better drives in a long time. I just wish that I'd had my camera with me.
And speaking of cameras, what a perfect segue to bring you a picture of one of the kitties. It's Miranda doing her very best vampire imitation.

I'll be back tomorrow with those results which will probably be something like "Some slight damage of unknown origin. Check again in six months." I can deal with that :)

Also, I heart you.
