One Thing

"Say one thing you love about me"...
Rue's reply...
"Are you Super Serious?!"

The Transition

Well it's quite a transition from living with so many people to being our own little family again! The first couple of days were a little depressing. I kept thinking, what am I going to do all the time? When I only know where my house is and Walmart is, my world feels pretty small! So the next day we went out and got our bearings. This is a view of going into downtown Jamestown we actually live in Lakewood 4 mintues out, lots of big old buildings.
 
We found the important stuff... a couple thrift stores, a bakery,
 where we got my birthday cake, which I would rate an 8/10,  However they had these delicious square shaped and super moist Cream-filled Chocolate Cupcakes like Hostess Cupcakes... they were to die for!
 and some parks...
Kay was there too!
The Underground Railroad ran through Jamestown and the plaque near this statue at Dow Park states they will give you a $150 dollars if you turn in this man who goes by the name of Tom.
 We are starting to get into a routine, and have lots more discovering to do, but my world is feeling bigger and bigger everyday!

The Company House

We moved to Jamestown, NY last weekend. We are staying in the "company house"... provided by Cummins until we find a home. 
It's a furnished 3 bed, 2 bath home with about 2 acres of yard, and the Cummins "C" in our yard!
This is Dave's work... they call it JEP... Jamestown Engine Plant.
I continue to be amazed by the awesome things Cummins does for their employees!!!
