Greetings from Austin!
For some reason, I couldn't get this blog to publish yesterday. Here's another try, with a new blog to follow!Wednesday was a looooong day. Mary Ann, Jen and I left the house at 4:30 am, to be squired to the airport by Larry, the Canadian Wrangler. (The dogs and cats...
Yesterday
The blog somehow fell by the wayside, with traces of my jet-lag lingering, and a visit from my dear cousin, Barbara Lynn, and her son, Adam. We caught up on old times and told lots of stories.Woke this morning to more snow, though it's pretty light and not expected to...
Oops! Blame Jet-Lag
I think I may have jumped the gun, as we say out west, by saying "Tyler" would be out now--it's always the last Tuesday of the month, and I just realized that would be the 31st. Sure hope I didn't send any of you to the store for nothing. :)I've been pretty much a...
Hitting the Wall
That old standby, Denial, has failed me. I'm STILL tired, despite all efforts to catch up on my rest. I hereby declare this to be Stay in Bed Day. I will cancel an appointment, doze, read, watch the programs that have been accumulating for weeks on my Tivo. I am...
Jet-Lag Rambles
Having slept for approximately as many hours as I spent flying back from Prague, then from Atlanta, then from Seattle, I feel somewhat human this morning. No guarantees that I won't be going back to bed after Miss Sadie leaves for her exercise day, though. 🙂 If...
Back in the USA
Just completed a 10 hour flight from Prague to Atlanta. Sally is at Panda Express--she's a picky eater and was hungry for "American" food. Go figure. I guess she made a better choice than I did, though--I'm in a smoking room, writing this blog. 🙂 She came in, coughed...
Greetings from the Future
In this time zone, we are eight hours ahead of Pacific and five ahead of Eastern. My brother-in-law just asked Sally, via email, if she'd check out the lottery numbers and get back to him. (Insert smile here.)Today was our last day in Prague, and we made the most of...
Prague Blog
At last! I'm blogging!I'm working on the hotel's computer, as my room is not set up for wireless. When I first got online, the blog-dashboard came up in Czech. Although I'm a pretty quick study, I haven't learned the language yet. (Insert smile here: the keyboard is...
Are you wearing green?
I'm not, but I hope to get through the day without being pinched. 🙂 Happy Saint Patrick's Day, one and all.Today's the day! I board a plane for Seattle this afternoon, meet up with Sister Sal, and the two of us will have a quiet and hopefully early night at one of...
Say a Little Prayer
For my good buddy, Flint Rasmussen, who suffered a heart attack after working out too hard, and for his family. From what I hear, Flint's on the road to recovery, but you can't have too many prayers.Tomorrow is the big day--sort of. Sally and I will meet in Seattle,...
Sadie’s Day Off
Sadie had a small procedure at the vet's yesterday--you don't want to know--so she's taking today off from "swimming lessons". As usual, Dr. Bauer and the crew at Latah Creek Animal Clinic took excellent care of my baby--thanks so much, everyone. We're all celebrating...
Sunshine Continues
Yesterday was a good day--I got a whole chapter written. I'm working on "At Home in Stone Creek", which will be published as a Silhouette Special Edition this year.My hair is out of control again, so I have an appointment this afternoon. Want to look good at the...
