Oh, vacation, my old friend. I love you so. Most of the time when we actually get to take a vacation, it's a week, maybe a week and a half, and we shove as much into that small amount of time as we can. Not this time. This time, our vacation is 5 weeks. Count 'em. I said 5 weeks. The big drawback is hubby isn't with us. Somebody has to work to pay the bills, and, thankfully, it isn't me.
We're in Texas!! I love Texas. I could wax poetic all day long about the greatness of my homeplace, but there is only so much cyber sace alotted to each person. Suffice it to say that I am in Texas heaven.
I got to meet up with some high school friends. That was fun. There has been a reconnection through Facebook, but it was great seeing them in person. To be able to hug them was fantastic. I'm ready for round two. I need to plan that soon. Some friends were missed due to scheduling conflicts, so I really want to try to see them.
We went to the rodeo! I love me some rodeo. You'll have to read the other blog for those harrowing incidents. My kids aren't scarred for life, though, and are actually asking to go to another one. Hopefully that one will be minus the dead horse. I shudder to think about it.
And we've been to the pool. Who would have thought this little bitty town would have such a great pool? The kids and I are planning to go back probably Wednesday. I'm not sure yet.
The highlight for me, though, has been seeing Mermie and Big Sis. I miss them so much living half way across the country. I even get to spend a whole day with Big Sis. I am so excited about that. You have no idea.
No pics to post yet. I don't have my lap top and have to hijack a computer to blog. When I get home, though, you better be prepared. The return reservations have been made. A mini vacation for the trip home has been planned. And I cannot wait to get my hands on hubby. Poor hubby better take his vitamins.
