Monticello

Yesterday, Greg and I drove to Charlottesville, with the goal of visiting Monticello, former home of Thomas Jefferson. We got there late in the afternoon and thought we wouldn't be able to get onto the grounds. We were fortunate enough to be able to get there before they closed. Both of us had seen the inside of Jefferson's home before, so we concentrated our time on walking around the gardens. What a perfect day to be there! I don't think I have ever seen so may different types of tulips before! And on the the grounds were the biggest, most fragrant lilac trees ever! It was truly heavenly!

Owie!

Okay, this is almost embarrassing to admit...but I did something today that I have never done in my entire life. I actually got a paper cut on my eye! OUCH! The weirdest thing...I was writing something on a Post-it Note and I guess, as I was pulling it off of the pad, the little 4x4 green Post-it Note flew up out of my hand and caught the outside of my eye. I don't think it's anything serious, but how strange is that??? I guess it's never too late to experience something new! :)
