Safe trip, Nancy - I hear Philly is a very interesting town to visit!

Marm - I thought your Dad and I had convinced you to fly! I am so glad that you were able to make it through in time for Christmas with your family. I surely hope the return trip goes better

Marm, I hope you are still alive after your fast trip home and back. How are the storms?

How was the meeting with Twinkie?

Any word on your PhD, Tenure, or other places you've applied?

Nancy, it's almost your turn to be up, up and away!

Just got back from my road trip - actually arrived home Friday night - from Orlando, FL. What a long trip! I drove by myself in my Dodge Dakota truck - Ruby and had no problems, but the traffic was awful. Lanes were closed in GA and FL and many times the traffic was going only 10 miles on I-95.

First stop was Palm Coast, FL to see my friends and spend the night. While there I signed up Biker Bunny for Tvclubhouse. Anxiously, I wait to see if she will post. I also showed her how to go to chat. She sent me an email and said she was given a password for chat. Is this right, anyone?
We stayed up late talking. Next day, we will to the Daytona Flea Market,where they have a booth and I used to have one for 9 years. I have been gone 6 years and my booth still has my paintings on it. Later we will to Hooters and had wings and clams and a good time.

Onward to Orlando, to see and stay with my son. I met his girlfriend and we went to a Mexican restaurant. Later that night we opened all our Christmas gifts together. It was the only time she could be with us as all of her family was coming. (Nina, his girlfriend, has had her picture taken with Richard Hatch and his son. They came to WDW and Nina is a dancer there and wanted their picture taken with her.)

Tuesday we will to Universal and to Emerill's for lunch. Later I took Charlie, my son, to Sam's and filled up his empty refrigerator. He took a picture of the frig full since it is so rare. Later, I went to work with him and watched him work. He is a make up artist at Skull Kingdom and he wanted to show me his skills.

Wednesday, we drove another hour and half to Brooksville to one of my brother's house for Christmas. All the family met there and I have a large family! We had a great time and the cops even came twice. One of my brothers is a DJ and he brought his setup. Everyone did Karooke outside and the neighbors complained. We were out in the country, too.

THe next day, we met again at another brother's in Orlando and had another dinner.

Friday, I headed home. Such a long drive! Home sweet home. I was glad to be back with my husband. He could not go because we can not close the company down for a great length of time.

I hope that everyone that went away is back safe!

Cops came twice. That is quite a party, Knightpatti. I am proud of you. Glad you made it home in one piece.

RG must have some great neighbors, because the cops never came to see us, Knightpatti! Our karaoke singing was very loud too. Glad you had a safe trip despite the closed lane driving.

Hope Nancy is having a great trip!

Marm, are you there or somewhere else? I figure it must be somewhere else, because you are rarely there, right? (hehe) Have a wonderful meeting with Twinks!

I'm wondering myself when marm is coming. Don't know if it will be this week or next. MARM, are you on your way or what???

Hi everyone! I'm back in PA! The trip back was much better and I stayed at a motel overnight instead of napping by the road. Daaymn, I should have made arrangements to see Goddessatlaw, as I drove through Indy at a decent hour yesterday! We'll have to meet in Bloomington on the Satuday of the week of Jan 18th (is the 18th Saturday or Friday?)

Anyway, nice drive back and it will be good to be home once the house warms up! I guess that I travel so much because unless you hunt or fish or do birdwatching or are into heavy duty hiking, there isn't much to do around here. (And I don't look good in blaze orange OR camaflage)

TWINKIE!!!! I could meet with you either week. Let me know what works for you! I can leave here at 1:30 pm on Thursday, the 2nd...and I need to be back for church on Sunday. OR I could leave by 5:00 pm on Thursday the 9th and would have to be back for church on Sunday. Do you want to go to Toronto with me to see the Jesus Death Box? You had mentioned that once. On this trip I would like to go to Toronto, Niagara, and see you. I don't care what order. Let me know what works for you...I'm leaning on THIS WEEK, if that's ok with you. Does your hubby want to be a tourist with us too? Or maybe you just want to meet at your house. ANYTHING will be fun!


I also wouldn't mind tagging along on Spy's trip to NYC this spring! I'll be going to NYC for a conference around Valentines Day. And Providence Rhode Island in March.

Sounds like Patti had a great trip, and can't wait to hear more about Nancy's trip!

Happy New Year, and Happy Traveling, everyone!

Marm- I hope you are looking at job possibilities in this area! We have Belmont University offering various degrees in music and Blair School of Music affiliated with Vanderbilt. Music City, USA, is the place to be!!

WHOO WHOO....time to gas up the car again!

Twinkie (and hubby) and I are taking a road trip to Toronto on Friday afternoon!! Hey, you Canadians, come meet us! We are going to be real tourists and see the ossiary exhibit at the Royal Museum.

Tomorrow, Twinkie will show me around Buffalo and we will play my Big Brother and Survivor games...just to tide us over until the new season starts.

Saturday will be the Falls...shopping and casino and touristy stuff. Then I will have to drive home in time to play for church on Sunday.

This is going to be another fun TVCH meeting!

i'm back from philly(just got home~)

I did NOT get to see the mummers parade it was rained out..wahhhhh --first time in about 20 years they've opostponed them--but i don't blame them it was rainy windy alll day yesterday and with many feathers and velvet costome it would have ruined their outfits--i did see a competition in the convention center of the fancy brigade which was great but obviously the 708 hour parade would have been better--

I did see independence hall--liberty bell etc so that was worthwhile :)

Hi! I'm at Twinkie's beautiful house!

It's snowing here in Buffalo...pretty, fluffy, white stuff.

We ate awesome BBQ at "Fat Bob's" (wondering if it's any relation to Bob2112).

Going to Toronto tomorrow!

More later!

Nancy--great to have you back safe and sound!! Sorry the one thing you were most looking forward to expereincinng was postponed because of the conditions. Glad you got to do some things though, and glad you were able to stay on course for you weight efforts.:)

Marm, I hope you and Twinkie are enjoying each other's company!

I have a non-TVCH epal in Buffalo so hope she is enjoying the white stuff as well! I simply cannot imagine having a snowplow operator under contract to keep my driveway clear!!

Nancy, welcome back. 708 hours seems like a rather long parade, so perhaps you are best off having missed it.

Welcome back, Nancy!!

<sits down to calculate how many weeks equals 708 hours>

Nancy, that is the very type of thing I do all the time in chat--you'd be surprised what I've ended up telling people all by accident--lol.

well everyone...I'm finally back to the website. My sis, bookie, filled you in that I left for another trip. So I'll fill you in on a little more about it. We left for a week. We didn't do much traveling except a day in London. It was pretty cold though, so I didn't do much site seeing. We went on one of those tour the city buses. It was fun!!! In Dublin we stayed with one of our friends that lives there now. We went to work with her and just spent some time with her and some friends. It was nice to just be able to do anything. I left the last day of finals so it was a nice Christmas present to myself and a destresser. Other than that the trip was pretty quiet.
