Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
I'm home, and some the worse for wear, but loving the bright sunshine and warm weather awaiting me. Sadie lost a whole pound while I was gone, and wasn't home from exercise class when I arrived, so Bernice was able to get all that joy out of her system right away. :)...
🙂 The Things I Forgot to Tell You
"Tyler" is #1 at Wal-mart--thanks to all of you!And, after being contacted by a reader, I've decided to do an ATC (artist trading card) swap.The rules are simple. Nothing gross. 🙂 The cards must be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2, but otherwise, go crazy. Make a card (only one, at...
Serendipity
There was lots of it yesterday--serendipity, I mean--just those little things the angels like to do to let you know they're around. For instance, a few days ago, I mentioned to Wendy that I attended an Esteban concert in Phoenix soon after September 11, and that he'd...
The Exploration Continues
Our first full day in Austin was great! Wendy and Jenni slept in--they'd been up most of the night catching up, since they hadn't seen each other in a while--but Mary Ann and I were ready to hit the trail. We grabbed some of the free breakfast served here at the hotel...
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...
