Tuesday, 12 March 2013 DAY 325 MOON 12 NEW 0%
This day was full of greatness. I sit here in the dark. The house is quiet and full with 3 kids and Dwana. We made another moon. The tiny sliver of the moon was seen at sunset as we were waiting for the SAPP comet to appear and appear the comet did on a time lapsed photo I took. I should include that photo in the memories, but that had to be taken with the good camera. What will happen when our only camera is a phone camera. I am not sure. What a great day. Viena was out of her sorts day, throwing a tantrum of sorts as Mylon went for a walk with Ezra to the ABC store where Ezra showed Mylon the car and truck toy aisle. I was doing our taxes and Dwana was taking a rest and Viena could not figure out what she needed to be doing. She had already packed 3 pillows into the backpack for our comet gazing night to come. Earlier in the day we had ridden down to Airport beach, Hawaii style in the back of the pickup, Papa Tim’s pickup. the morning was overcast, but we all seemed to receive a sunburn of sorts, of course, Mylon was the worst of the bunch – red shoulders. We took the snorkeling gear and headed out in the water. Everyone went into the water except Dwana. The entrance was a little sketchy because the reef was difficult to see, and once Ezra was out in the ocean he was tasting the saltwater of the North swell coming in. Hard to snorkel with a 3-year-old on your back and no flotation device and no life support. Viena went out with Mylon and saw fish and had no problems. Then Tim, Mylon and I went out to the dive flag. We saw clear water and in one spot I turned around thinking to see Mylon, but there in his place was a big turtle. We swam with the turtle for awhile. Fast little guy. We ran into another bigger turtle right before we headed in. I was able to dive down deep and swim next to this beautifully massive creature with telling eyes. I wish I could have kept up, but he was moving too fast and my goggles kept fogging up. The comet. Did I mention the comet. Must be the journey, not the destination. Our neighbor John would only talk about it and did not come down to see, but had enough to make him red-faced. What words would I have to describe him, I slept in today. I need to stop that and rise up earlier and do something. Tomorrow I think I will rise and go grocery shopping. who knows I might even take Ezra and Viena. Ezra was really happy today except when Viena was playing with his dragon. He has been coughing lately at night, nothing too bad, but noticeable. Did not go on a run, but I finished my taxes. Yes. need to put an order through for some stuff.
