I'm planning a trip, someplace I can drive to. Where should I go?

That is my favorite kind of trip.... pick a general direction, pack the car, and go....no real firm plans...just drive.

Hi I am in Texas ... haven't had time to read the thread but I am sure Merlin took good care of the updates ... he was such a help esp. with the last part of the trip... I think I aged 5 years in the last 3 hours of the trip!... There was Bambi explosion in Fredericksburg, TX and I was able to meet Santa's reindeer up close and personal... a little too close to car for my nerves but all the same, they are so beautiful and sweet.

So much to tell but I am short on time... I will say this... I heard EVERY Christmas carol ever sung by every known artist in the world, sung in every which way and then some ... I also was serenaded Jingle bells sung by Doggies and Kitties!

LONG trip ... but I am glad to be here with Mom and friends!

I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas! Much love to my extended TVCH family!!!

Moondance, that is a main reason it took me 2 1/2 days to drive to Florida. Just as dusk would start, the deer would start running across I-95.

And if one runs out, you know there are a few more coming. No ifs, ands or buts. Instead of taking any chances, (it must have been deer mating season) I took the deer as a sign to find the closest hotel and pull over. I feel for you.

OK, I've been away from home since Thursday. Are all of our adventurers to where they are suppossed to be???? I recieved a message from Ms. Buttercup at a little after 6pm last night saying she was going swimmining!!! Two days before Christmas she was going swimmining! We've been using fire place and heater for two days, and she is swimmining!

Merry Christmas to all!

Moon, I can send you lots of deer. They run across our yard all the time. They even walk right down the street. We have a raccoon family of 5 living in our backyard keeping the squirrels, bunnies and chipmunks company. We've just had a few inches of snow and my circle looks like a winter wonderland---something out of a fairy story. You would see all of this if anyone would take the NORTHERN ROUTE HOME!! I'm just saying.

One day, while I was sitting at my computer, I looked up and there was a beautiful buck with big horns nibbling at the grass just beyond my patio.

I caught my breath and just stared through the sliding glass doors. He was so close I would have been able to touch him with only two steps...

He must have caught some movement from me because suddenly he raised his head and looked straight at me. He snorted, turned and bounded off towards the pool...I finally let out my breath.

Best bambi encounter I ever had!!!!

The white knuckle driving through Bambi country was well worth it! I met the most charming nice looking blue eyed gentleman! I am just saying

Oh Moon...does he really look like Sean???

Moondance

He does have the Sean thing going on but his eyes are much more beautiful:)

Woo Hoo! Moondance is here with me right now. We are having a great 'getting to know you' conversation! She's so pretty! She brought me a cubed candle that she made, and it is sooooo pretty and smells great! She will write everybody soon. Yes, there are plenty of Bambi sized deer all over the hill country. I'm sure glad she didn't meet any of them up close. Merlin, you dickens. You got to meet Moon even before me! She got to meet my whole tribe, but thankfully they let us talk!

Gotta go take some pictures!

Well I just arrived home to Moms and had to come here and tell everyone how GREAT UrGrace is! She made me the cutest Christmas train ... made out of candy... My Mom is going nuts for it and I will be lucky to keep it! She also gave me the most beautiful ornaments... I feel so lucky and blessed to have met her... if I visit again I want to stay longer... her home is such a beautiful and loving home... She has a beutiful family with the most amazing blue eyes...I running away from home and ending up on her front door step! Thank you UrGarace

Moon & Urgrace, glad you guys got to meet and had a great time. :)

Weather report for MsBat:

It is very cold in Southern Florida. It was in the low 60's today and cloudy. Brrrrr.....

It is suppose to be in the low 40's tonight. It is to cold and windy to be walking the dog at night.

I second that, it is coooooooooold here in S. Florida!

Buttercup lines up the coconuts for a little slalom course on the ice on the pool , pulls on her skates, adjusts her bikini and ear muffs, and glides gracefully out on the ice....

Buttercup, stay upright on those skates. I would hate to see you fall down on the ice in your ear muffs!! LOL

Moondance, glad you made it to Texas. Nothing like being at home with mom once again!! Have a safe trip back home.

Buttercup

Well, I am feeling almost back to normal, so I figured I better get back on the road again before that happens

I will probably leave Naples, Florida tomorrow morning headed towards Houston,Texas and Phil's house...uh, I mean Merlin's house Merlin won't be home this time around, so I get to snuggle up with my Phil without Merlin being jealous

Anyhooo, I might give Phrf in Mississippi a second try now that the holiday festivities are over

I am also thinking that a little trip to Urgrace in Texas is in order, especially since Moon has tested the waters I don't think there is anybody else on that stretch of my adventure that I could visit, but if there is, let me know!

Buttercup, you can wave to Spygirl as you pass on the road. Okay, we are getting all suited up to accompany Buttercup on another road trip.

How about the others? Moon, Spy, departure dates??
