Full Moon -- The Wolf Moon!

Full moon tonight -- the winter Wolf Moon. The moon is the closest to the earth tonight and looks the largest it will appear all year. Since it is the closest, the tides are the largest. Wonder how steep the gang plank is at Palmetto Bay in Hilton Head. Docks and gang planks seem so foreign to us now. Such landlubbers we are!

Very cold now. 8 degrees tonight. Took the girls out yesterday afternoon and very cold but the sun was out. I actually felt the warmth of the sun on my cheek for a second -- only a split second but it felt sooo good. Ah memories of Miami in Feb of 2008.

Bought an iPod last week and George has already downloaded all CDs on it!

NBC Today Show had a special series this week on the Navy Seals. Mission focused. Nerves of steel. Great to see them training in California. Want to be one when I grow up.

Hit the Beach!

Martin Luther King Day and went to the beach at East Harbor on Marblehead today. (G had day off!) Nice to get some excercise outside rather than at the health club. Beach was very subtly beautiful. Blue gray water and gray skies with a bit of earth tones for the brown sand and trees. Actually lovely yet far different from the brillant colors we experienced last year down south.

Lizzy and Sally had fun running and exploring. Realized they had never been there before. We had taken Jane and Roxy there so many times but these girls had never been there. A nice and different afternoon.

Finished my writing project today for an arts client and I think it turned out rather well. We'll see what client says.

Tonight I was invited to join a book club. I feel sooooo domestic. The book looks quite interesting and is something I would normally not read.
