Someone asked me today in an email when we were leaving OMSHville. Oh, uh, we left there two days ago. I just have not had the chance to blog about it, what with picking Troy up at the airport in Houston, staying the night with friends there and loving on their seriously cute baby boy while Annalie played with their equally adorable almost-3-year-old daughter, and then driving half a day to Troy’s mom & stepdad’s RV park.

Oh, and I also crocheted a Frankenstein’s Monster trick-or-treat bag. I had the idea for his curly hair and just couldn’t resist. I don’t know yet what I’ll do with it, if I’ll keep it or give it away or put it in my shop.

Troy is going to be helping his mom buy a laptop and she’s getting DSL installed so I hope to have the chance to post more later in the week. If I don’t, then you can just assume I had better things to do (like swimming in the heated pool). Off to have BLA’s (bacon, lettuce and avocado sandwiches) for lunch!

I think I mentioned that Annalie and I were going to Texas, didn’t I? Well, uh, we’re in Texas!

Because we know so many people here, we can’t just take a quick trip. And since all the people we know aren’t in the same city, we have to bounce all over the state while we’re here. We’re starting out in Dallas visiting friends from Maryland, then heading to OMSHville, then hitting Houston (where Troy will be joining us) to stay the night with friends, and finally heading south to spend a week at Troy’s mom and stepdad’s. Then we drive back up to DFW to fly home.

If my posting is sporadic in the next two weeks, you’ll know why.
