Where is that home, home on the range?

Wowee!

Have fun!

"and I'll show you a dirty house"...we used to sing

If you ever turn Mr. B. in on a New & Improved model, put me high-up on the recycling list.

Any man that books sunshine for a Time of Need.... Magnificent Masculinity!

Magnificent indeed!

I don't know what I did to deserve this.

I have been so grouchy lately that he would have been completely justified in enjoying a few days on his own.

I have such good luck with the male gender. I think Dad and Brother taught me well.

oh give me a home
where the buffalo roam
and the beer and the cantelope play
where seldom is heard
a tasty-type word
and the skies are not cloudy, no way
home, home on the stove ...

etc. repeat until elder brother chases you and then accept noogies graciously

Graciously, hell!
<chasing him into closet, giving him noogies back>


Oh wait.
You had an ELDER brother.
Oops.

Anything that gets older brother to give chase is well worth the noogie you get in return!

Ahem, it's been known to rain a lot in the LA metropolitan area, from time to time. On the other hand, I think Disneyland is best in the rain - less lines, etc.

The only time I've ever been to Disneyland was about this time of year, 20 years ago. It was cloudy and cool and we had a great time because it wasn't overly crowded.

I went to Disneyworld once too, on business, I don't think I ever left the hotel.

<sigh>

I'm looking forward to the trip, even if the weather doesn't fully cooperate. I have a soft spot for Walt, I have a photo of him on my wall. I had a great uncle who was an "imagineer".

"The world is a cavalcade of color..." still stirs something within me.

Showing it to Mo will be cake icing.

Texas is nice.

Ya got your droughts, they seldom last more than 3 to 5 years....but don't worry, right after that you'll have your flash floods....

In the spring of course you can sit around waiting for tornado warnings. when you get over the excitment of that, you're ready to enjoy summer, this year sucked because we didn't even get over 100 degrees more than a few times....I think the record was 20 some days in a row a couple of years back....

Falls settles in, and you can sit around sneezing with all your friends with cedar fever....hmmmm, winter, that's nice except when the freak ice storm hits and everyone tries to drive 80 mph.



No, seriously, I love it here....I can't think of anyplace else I'd rather live in the US.

I was born in Texas and spent a good portion of my life there.

Most of my family still lives in Texas.

I DO like Texas but I don't really, honestly think I could survive another summer there.

Or another life there.

I can relate to the life part. I mean, you really can't go home.
