Wow, Marm, this has been a busy few weeks for you! Sounds exhausting though. Hope you have fun in Philly!

Ok, I'm back from Philly! WHEW...

Presentations went very well. Standing room only and I ran out of handouts, even though I had brought 100!

I hitched a ride with the students in the rented van so I got to hear a wide variety of music and other CDs, including the "Jerky Boys II" SIGH! At least I didn't have to drive.

Saw the Liberty Bell and the Historic area before we headed home, and of course ate a cheesesteak.

Next big trip is to Bloomington for graduation on May 4th! WHOO HOO!

Many of you know that Babyruth has been away on an extended vacation to Australia and Tahiti. Her trip ends tomorrow, 4/24, when she flies back to the U.S. She and her traveling companion land in Los Angeles tomorrow evening, and after a 3 1/2 hour layover they take their connecting flight home.

Tomorrow night, Weinermrs and I will take the opportunity to go to LAX, and meet Babyruth between flights, and have a good old fashioned TVCH real life visit! How exciting is that!

A full report will be provided, and maybe, maybe, just maybe, a picture or two of some kind or other. No promises, but we shall see.

We're baaaack!!!

We just got home from the airport and our visit with Babyruth and her fellow traveler. A great time was had by all! We had a little food, a lot of talk, alot of laughing, and an all around great visit. They are now speeding their way home on their last flight of a very long journey home. They had a great time on their trip, and we all had a marvelous visit. The time just sped by. They are both as wonderful as we ever could imagine.

Pictures were taken, and something will appear here soon in some form or another in the near future.

Welcome home Babyruth. Missed you. We want all the details of being down under. Woo Hoo!

You got to meet our Musicman and Weinermrs too. How wonderful. Yes, we want to hear all about your visit with them too. Especially the laughing parts!

Wow! Thanks Weinermr! Thanks also Tksoard, Tess, Kstme, Twiggy, Juju, Aussiedeb, Grooch and Gracie for the welcome home! It's great to be missed.
((((TVCH'ers))))

I will post some details about the trip over the weekend sometime, and I hope to be able to include a few pics. Either that or a link to a site I'm working on with our trip pics.

In the meantime, I want to thank our Weinermr and his Weinermrs for coming out to the airport to meet me and my sweetie/life partner, (whom I shall dubb "Ms.Sweetpea" for posting purposes).

Weinermr is all the wonderful things you already know him to be, folks, and then some!--funny, charming, witty, warm, and with a bright mischievous twinkle in those big brown eyes when he laughs. Weinermrs is a real sweetie, too-- and holds her own very well in the quick wit department! The four of us had such a fun time talking and laughing, and the time just flew by. Before we knew it, it was time to go board the plane :(

I just can't thank Weinermr and Weinermrs enough for taking the time to come say hello and hang out with us.

It was so wonderful to get to meet my TVCH buddy in person--it meant so much to me!

Pics of the meeting are in the developing stages--I hope to have something to share here soon! :)

Welcome back Babyruth! Glad you had a great time. And Australia must have been nice too.

Maggiemae left for Ireland today. She will be gone for a couple of weeks with a school trip. She said she wouldn't be able to post from there cuz she couldn't afford to pay to use a computer, but I will fill you all in as I can.

Welcome home Babyruth! Sounds like a great trip.

Thank you Bookie, we'd love to know what Maggie's up to in Ireland!

Hey Bookie, I'd love to hear about Maggie's trip to Ireland!! I was there a couple years ago, and it was the most beautiful country I'd ever seen!! I hope she has as much fun as I had, well, maybe not in the pubs, but it was even great outside of the pubs!!

Welcome home, BabyRuth! Can't wait to hear about your trip!!!

And Bookie, keep us posted on Maggie in Ireland. Is she singing on a choir tour? Taking a course? do tell!

Juju should be leaving for London and Paris fairly soon.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly when I will be leaving for Salzburg for my course this summer. I just found out that I got a second grant, so I should have my airfare and housing covered. In the meantime I'll be "roadtripping" to Bloomington to walk through graduation next week...and finish the dissertation later!

The Vegas trip is in May, too, isn't it? Keep us informed, Spy!

Who else is traveling?
