Liza is the name of my 2003 Camry. aka the best car on the planet (made before recall issues!) I have been here in Gainesville for three weeks and one day today, and I thought some of you might like to see my change of scenery. After nine years in Georgia I am in adjustment mode. Four of the differences:
#1 — You will not find a large (at least six feet tall) statue of a gator in a mall in Georgia. Or if you will, I certainly have not seen it. However, this was taken at the Oaks Mall. Standard. On that note, it is also standard for people to have/wear/display Gator paraphernalia. This is a lovely reality for which I am not yet accustomed. Or re-accustomed. Every time I see a Gator shirt I still get VERY excited, and I want to shout “Go Gators!!” across the restaurant/parking-lot/whatever. #GaDetox
#2 — When my family was in town for Wayne’s wedding we went for a walk through a nature path to look at live alligators. Here is a picture of one of the many we spotted that day.
#3 — I had lunch with these lovely ladies (my mom and Ashley Owen), something that was not possible while I was still in Georgia. And will soon not be possible as Ashley is moving! Happy for her, sad for me.
#4 — This week I enjoyed Mochi Frozen Yogurt for the first time with my dear friend Melissa. It was a treat indeed, something I can get used to. 🙂
I am missing Atlanta more than I anticipated, I must confess. But I am loving the family time, the fellowship with neighbors and RiverCross friends, and working remotely has its own set of challenges and rewards to which I am adjusting. Thanks for your prayers. What’s new in your world?
oh thank you, my dear. i hope you were encouraged by it!
