Great pics Zed & Juju. BTW Juju, you're wearing my favorite color!! Antonio looks like a nice guy and a good sport for letting us see HIS face!

Egbok, that is also my second favorite color after red.

Antonio was in love with Zed. He couldn't help himself. That is just a look of bliss.

Welcome home, Bookie! Nightcrawler said baby tending was a piece of cake. Okay, that is a big fat whopper, bet he kissed the ground when you walked in the door

Juju, don't you think NC should have kissed Bookie instead of the ground?

IOWA roadtrip!

Bookie, MaggieMae, Wiggle (maybe Tess) and I will meet in a couple of weeks. There is a one-room school conference I'm going to in Iowa City. On Saturday, June 29th, starting at noon there is a country school fair at the fairgrounds near Tipton, Iowa. That's where we will meet! In the morning my group will be touring the Hoover Presidential library and one-room school in West Branch (I used to live in West Branch! WHHOOHOO) I will be in Iowa City for the two days prior at the conference. Anyone else want to meet?

EUROPEAN adventure.

I found out in chat that Azriel and I will be waving to each other as I fly to Europe and she comes back from Holland. Anyone else going in June or July? I think it was great that Juju and Zed met in London! I'll be on the continent from July 2-25. Rough itinerary: Brussels, Haarlem (near Amsterdam), Salzburg, Munich, Karlsruhe (Germany) and Paris.

Passport and plane tix are here and the train pass is ordered! Now if I could get the rest of my housing lined up!

Now if I can just get motivated to finish editing my dissertation before I go....at least now I have all the chapters assembled and the red crayon and black pen out...no more excuses!

Awww, Spy will be in town, well on the river anyway, and I won't get to see her...<pout>

Hope you have a great time! Don't get sunburned or rained out, and I see sixth street in my crystal ball!

I'm back! It was a long but great weekend.

Friday night we had dinner at a terrific Tex Mex restaurant called "Guerro's" and then checked in to our two bedroom suite at the Wyndam-Anatole in Dallas. We took a Ford Excursion (sorry Juju, no Explorer) to West End/Dallas Alley. GREAT time down there. Friday went smoothly with no kinks.

Unfortunately, Saturday did not. We left 2 hours late and arrived in New Braunfels just in time for the random afternoon thunderstorm that completely shut down the river and Schlitterban (sp?). On top of that, the bride-to-be got food poisoning from the Wendy's we stopped at in Waco. Needless to say, we ate dinner at El Dorado's on Lake Travis, and then turned around and headed back to Ft. Worth. BUT....then, the most unbelievable storm in the world hit us head on in Hillsboro that had 70mph straight line winds with extremely heavy rain. We got back to Ft. Worth about 3:30am. I got up at 10 and headed back to Louisiana.

All in all, I spent about 18 hours in a car either driving or riding. Despite all of that, it was a very very fun weekend and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It is so wonderful to catch up with friends, spend time together, and meet new friends.

I leave in four days to head back to the metroplex for the wedding and there will be more friends and more fun to come :)

Spy glad you had a great weekend. I hope it is not raining at the wedding and I am sure that the Bride to Be will not be eating at Wendy's any time soon.

Spy, that rain you encountered in New Braunfels only lasted 30 minutes! And you almost had the spelling right, it's Schlitterbahn. Sorry you didn't get to have a swimming good time here, but we sure need the rain

Have a great time at the wedding!

Hi, everyone. I'm in Holland right now. My boyfriend had to go to a meeting, so I jumped on the pc for a bit.

I'm having a great time. I did the whole tourist thing the last time I was here, so this time I'm just taking it easy and enjoying the rest from work. (neener neener, Kady)

I'll be checking the board every few days or so. PLEASE, someone give me a good blow by blow of The Mole tonight and next week. I really hate missing the next few episodes of it. I know, I know...it's pathetic to miss a tv show on vacation.

Tess

Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 11:58 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Az, have a wonderful time. I missed The Mole last week on my vacation so I know how you feel but we'll be sure to take lots of notes tonight for you.

Oh Schoolmarm! I would love to have been included in the meeting in Iowa! I live in southwest Iowa, and would have been so happy to make the trip to finally meet some of the fine folks here at TVCH...BUT you picked the weekend that we will be in Milwaukee at our annual racing weekend. We leave for Milwaukee one the 26th and will return on Monday July 1st.....just in time for the start of Big Brother...I think.

Oh well...maybe next time.

Az!!! Try to get to Floriade, the big horticulture/flower show! It's in between Haarlem and Amsterdam. Let me know how it is.

I'll wave to you in the air as you return to the states and I fly to Europe for my big adventure!

Kady

I am so glad you are enjoying your vacation. (I am such a slave drive. Hehe) I recorded The Mole for you. I am counting down the days till your return. I probably miss you more than anyone. Love ya.

Marysafan, I am in southcentral Iowa, maybe we could meet sometime. Email me and let me know if you are interested.

Enjoy, Az. I agree with Marm about Floriade. I ran across it somewhere in my internet travels and was thinking it would be great to be there. Hope you get to see it.

I will see Floriade when I'm in Haarlem--probably on July 3, 4 or 5th. Gadzooks! I need to get organized for the packing....I'm going to try to do 24 days in Europe in a 20 inch rolling suitcase, and two flight bags. And a fanny pack.
I will pack for the Iowa conference in a different 19 inch rolling suitcase. Have to take the computer and printer to Iowa to copy off the dissertation. Going to leave that stuff at my folks.

Bookie! Let me know what time you and Wiggle and MaggieMae will be there!

Azriel

We took a look at the Floriade website and we've decided we are going to go see it next week. :)

Thanks for recording The Mole, Kady! I miss you, too!

Marysafan- have fun in Milwaukee- I used to live in Racine- lots of good places to eat there!

I'm going out to Arizona to visit my dad next Saturday and we plan on driving to San Diego while I'm there- anyone have suggestions for stuff to do besides the obvious big tourist attractions like Sea World and the zoo?
