Package from Julia

This is homemade strawberry jam that Julia sent to me after I checked her 500th blog apparently at about the right time. Thank you Julia!

Shuttle Atlantis

The Space Shuttle Atlantis blasted off into space this afternoon at 2:01. This was taken from our front yard. It was so cloudy that I didn't think I would be able to see it. I had one quick glimpse of it. We had a fairly good rumble after the lift off. A few cupboard doors did some vibrating. Kennedy Space Center is just across the river from us.
