Tess | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 11:05 pm     Hooo Hooo!! I'm glad y'all had such a great time just like I knew you would. What a wonderful day. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:24 pm     I'm back from a wonderful conference in a English manor house in the midst of a sculptured garden park. An added bonus was getting to see my neice and nephew for a couple of hours and getting to play a couple of games with them. The almost-three-year-old is talking so you can understand him now! I bought my ticket for Europe. Sorry, Merlin, I'm going through Newark and not Houston. I'm flying to Brussells and will take the train to Haarlem/Amsterdam. Then to Salzburg, for my class. Then to Munich to do some research. Over to Karlsruhe to see a friend and then some time in Paris before I fly out of Brussells. So, Juju, how long should I stay in Paris and what are the MUST do's? Getting geared up to meet Bookie and ??MaggieMae?? Nightcrawler?? and anyone else who will be near Iowa City the last Saturday in June! I can't wait to hear about the Alaska trip! WOW! So many adventures! |
Buttercup | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:46 pm     Birdie, thanks for the update! Your meeting was yet another proof that the people around here are wonderful! Marm, sounds like you had a great time as well, and what exciting things awaiting you ahead! Keep us posted!

Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 10:53 pm     Marm, I sent you my trip saga tonight. I would think you should try for about five full days in Paris. Don't miss Sainte Chappelle church, the inside, not the outside. |
Merlin | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 11:17 pm     Marm, I am sorry you weren't able to have you flight plans include a stop in Houston. I guess it will have to be *that other trip* |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 03:48 am     Juju...thanks for the travel saga! That really helps. And I think I will need to buy some good tennis shoes for all the walking. I've got my list of churches with historic organs on my must-see list. And the Louvre and Versailles...although I'm not sure how many days I'll have in Paris. It depends on how fast I do my research in Munich. I doubt that I will have five days, but will cram in as much as I can. Hey Merlin...since I fly mostly Continental, a Houston layover is a given eventually! This will be my first time in Newark and I hope that they have quick and easy customs for the way back. |
Abbynormal | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 04:19 am     Let me tell you, I have just visited heaven on earth. Yes, I am talking about TheOwl's place. I can not describe to you how beautiful and serene it is there. When I think of Tennessee, her place is exactly what I'm thinking of. My 10 yr old and I went out for a visit Sunday for what we thought would be about an hour. We ended up staying around 3 hours and didn't want to leave then! We absolutely fell in love with her dogs. They all have such different personalities and are so sweet and well behaved. We watched the cows being fed, (which all have names ) and took a walk to the ponds. This was such a treat for my son since he is a city boy, he enjoyed it so much but did become concerned when we came face to face with the cows and one looked at him for too long! lol I was so glad to meet TheOwl. Honestly, I haven't laughed that much and that hard in so long. I really look forward to visiting with her again. Monday we met with Firebird and Tntitanfan. TheOwl and I joked we wished we had brought a rope or something but I think that would have done Firebird in. We had a nice lunch and talked all over each other. Firebird is very sweet and intelligent and Tntitanfan is so busy I don't know when she finds the time to use the bathroom! lol I had a large time. It was good meeting some TVCH friends, and I think we have some really good people on this board. We are lucky. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 06:16 am     I posted some pictures from the Vegas trip in my member's folder: Spy's Folder |
Theowl | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:56 am     Abby, thank you for the nice words!! When my sister and her young son from San Diego visited, she said the same thing. Some think it's TOO quiet, but after living in a city most of my life, there is no such thing as TOO quiet. The "kids" really enjoyed your visit too. After your son left, Stucky took a LOOONG nap. He's really not used to being chased. We're looking forward to your next visit, like maybe a BB finale!!  |
Bookworm | Saturday, June 01, 2002 - 10:15 pm     I am attending a conference near Kansas City this week. Not sure if I will be able to check in with you all. I am preparing myself for TVCH withdrawal. I will be asking NC to fill me in if he gets a chance to stop by. It will be 'Bachelor Week' for NC and Wiggle, so you guys will have to keep them in line for me. Yes Schoolmarm, Maggie and Wiggle and I will see you the last Saturday in June. NC will be working tho. I can't wait!! |
Tess | Saturday, June 01, 2002 - 10:41 pm     Have a sage trip, Bookie. We'll keep an eye on the guys for you! |

Wink | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:06 am     Butter was the word you couldn't get out "button"? Very cute picture ladies. |
Abbynormal | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:41 am     lol butter! I was thinking the same thing! Notice how she's kinda leaning toward Antonio. I think I detect a big ole smile behind that mask!  |
Willi | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:50 am     Great picture! Sounds like you had a terrific trip too.

Juju2bigdog | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:52 am     I KNEW somebody would say that! I knew I should have cropped that picture just a bit differently. That is MY hand all you salacious-minded people. I am holding my camera in it ready for the next photo with my camera. that is my other hand up on Antonio's left shoulder

Bookworm | Friday, June 07, 2002 - 08:55 pm     Very cute picture ladies! I am back from my conference. I learned a lot and had a good time too. NC says he has new respect for me after having spent the good part of a week on his own with Wiggle. NC, Wiggle and LittleCrawler did come to visit Wednesday night. Wiggle has been smiling and laughing all afternoon, he is sooo excited to have his mom back. I am glad I am back too. |
