Well, I'm finally all done packing. Got everything loaded into the car, and ready to go! I am absolutely exhausted, yet still can't go to sleep. I have been running almost non-stop today, with trying to get everything packed..for the whole family, plus dealing with three kids, hehe.

Have a fantastic week, everyone!

Oh my heck, Spy has arrived in Vegas! The party is awwwwwwwn! Got a message from her early this morning while she was at the airport--seems she left before the birds got up. Anyway, got another message confirming her arrival to Kstme City! Ain't phone mail grand? An action that takes less than a minute keeps us informed and entertained

Kstme, I have met both Spygirl and Wargod, so I know you will have a great time meeting them. Wish I could have met you too! One of these days...

Butter...THANKS for the update!! I WISH so much I could have met you when you did your travels to LA!! YEP...one of these days...

I've got the Trifle finished...the dips (myself included) almost finished!

I've GIVEN UP on the house! Ollie keeps bringing me the most lovely DIRTBALLS!!

First thing this morning as I'm cleaning the deck and moving furniture, Sir Oliver takes a dunk! WATER ALL OVER the place! I don't stand a chance!! Both he and George have been relocated to the family room!! (got to love those baby gates!) The cat is smart...she's staying out of sight!

LOL I just love hearing about Sir Ollie's Adventures! Can't wait to hear more about your day and evening!

Buttercup sits impatiently down and waits

OK Buttercup...you asked for it! LOL

1:38 update...Ollie is now washing the windows in the Family Room! I'm sure he's doing this so it will look so nice and pretty when Wargod and Spy get here! (did i ever mention, he slobbers!?) Of course, he can only reach "so" high and with the mud mixed in, I think I'll call it NEW ARTWORK!

Is it time for wine slurping yet?

Butter...do you think War and Spy will beat a hasty retreat BEFORE the pizza or after???

Tess

Kstme, I have a feeling they'll be there long after the pizza. I SLEPT through my phone updates this morning. Thank goodness Buttercup is on the job! Wargod was still on the computer when I logged off in the wee hours which does not bode well for her today. I'm hoping she's sleeping in the car all the way up there. I've never seen anyone more in need or more deserving of a vacation than she. :)

Y'all have fun!!!

Kstme

Tess...I agree TOTALLY with you! Hopefully, she can just "kickback" and watch a few pigeons flying by! We'll certainly "try" to get her vacation started here!

3:10...Everything is done except dh and TheKid's stuff! Whew! Sir O just finished a tennis ball for lunch all over the FR floor, so he should be settling down for a nap! I didn't think those things could shred in SO MANY pieces!

Just over 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOHOOOOO!!

Go Ollie, go!

Kstme, let me know if you need any tips on how to get them to leave later

Message from Spy! She is getting ready to leave for the Kstme gathering and says she is "soooo excited" to meet fellow TVCH'ers there!

Kstme, I forgot to respond to your wine slurping comment earlier....to my knowledge, the hostess of a party can sample the wine and other beverages at any time she pleases. If the rule isn't written anywhere--it sure ought to be

ROFL! I LOVE that advice!! (sluuuurrrrp)

Spy called here right after you talked with her, Butter!! She's getting her duds on and said she'd be here around 5:30!

Haven't heard from Wargod yet. Will be checking the freeways soon!

Kstme

Whooohooo! Just heard from Wargod! She's on her way!

Seems Spy got slightly delayed in her departure for Kstme's house. She must be having a great time because she said she might move there! Kstme, do you have enough room? Just send Ollie to me, and then Spy can move in with you

How's the wine? Kstme

Hello Everybody, Wow, you go away on a trip and miss so much. Butter, War, Spy, I hope you have great trips. Kstme, I know you will enjoy meeting all your tvch visitors. Pat Ollie on the head for me, will ya?

Babyruth and I decided to meet this morning at a Bob Evans Restaurant in Jackson, Mi. We ended up at two different restaurants located about a mile apart, but Babyruth inquired and discovered the problem at the one where she was waiting. Meanwhile I sat at the other one with my mom, sister, and daughter watching for Babyruth. After a phone call we finally met. My family was almost as excited as I was! We had breakfast and chatted until we felt it was necessary to give up the table for the very busy crowd. Babyruth is just as nice and sweet in person as she is here at the clubhouse, and it was a terrific experience meeting her.

Thank you Babyruth for taking time out of your busy schedule to drive to Jackson to meet me. I am very pleased to have met you today.

After we left Jackson, my mom, sis, daughter and I drove around and did some sightseeing. Unluckily the Cascade Falls will not open until later this week. We also drove over the one lane covered bridge located across the St.Joseph River and took some pictures.

Tk, we are still unsure of our departure time and route home, but I will be in touch with you as soon as I know something! Did Marm and Tnt set a date for their visit yet? That will be so nice.

Tess, thank you for the hug and here are some for you too. Sure wish you were feeling better {{{{Tess}}}}

Well, I have to say...this has been a wonderful day!!!

The three of us are sitting around the computer laughing about what in the world we are gonna say about you guys.

First of all...Ollis is exactly what he is portrayed to be on this board. He is spoiled rotten, I must say!!! It seems his favorite food is bark from the palm tree in the backyard. What Kstme says is absolutely true. He is crazy.

Second of all...Kstme and hubby are wonderful!!! She had no reason to be nervous!!! The food was great and the conversation has been terrific!!!

By the way, have you ever tried to spell with two women on either side of you laughing??? It is quite an experience. Wargod is wondering how in the world I manage on my own!

Kstme says that we are welcome back anytime, but I'm not sure if she is just saying that because we are still here. Okay, now she just yelled that it is not because we are just standing here!! HAHAHAHAHA...this is fun!!!

Vegas is great!!!!! I would love to live out here! The weather is great...it makes me realize how bad the humidity is in Louisiana. I will probably not be checking the boards until I get home -- no Internet access. But, I will continue the text messages to the girls!!

Okay -- I'm gonna go pick up my brother at the airport. He arrives in about a half hour.

Wargod says hi to everyone!!!!! Hubby says hi, too.

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes. Thanks to the girls for doing the updates.

I knew you 3 would have a wonderful time!! I'll bet Ollie kept you quite entertained. :)

No word from Juju today. Hope she's having better weather.

Gracie, I just knew you and Babyruth would get along famously, also! This was a fantastic day in TVCH land!!

Sounds like Buttercup is next to hit the road.

Spy, "the girls" have the phones all fired up and ready. Have a wonderful time and tell your mom Happy Birthday for us!

Wow to all you who met yesterday. It sounded like all of you had a great time. It's fun to finally meet in person.
