Still Not in the House...

HI!! I am excited to be online! We have been in the hotel for two weeks now. The only way to have Internet at the hotel is a laptop with WIFI - hated to buy a laptop just for being in the hotel. So, we have opted for a phone with Internet capabilities. I started out with the Treo (which is a great little phone) but it doesn't have the navagation capabilities that we wanted (and were told it could do). So, we are exchanging it for a Blackberry BUT the new ones are out and it should be here tomorrow. Jeez...... Today, we are at McCullough Junior High School in The Woodlands visiting my friend Pat Perez. It's a beautiful school. My daughter Kim went to a year and a half of high school here.; when we lived here in the late 80s it was the high school. Now it is a junior high for 7th and 8th graders; 2200 of them! Joe and I along with Tugley are doing well. We try to plan something to do every day to get out of the hotel room. Pat and Jerry gifted us with a Texas Book of Road Trips. We are going to start taking a few day trips. We have been going to the movies. I can heartily recommend Stardust. We expect to be in the house in 2 to 3 weeks. It looks great and we are getting excited. We go out there once a week and see how things are going. God knows we are ready to be "home". I promise to catch up on pictures when we get our computers plugged in. That will be one of the first things we do, believe me.

We are Out of the old House...

...not yet in the new house. It's a funny feeling to be "between" houses. We are completely moved out of the house in Lake Charles. (OMG am I glad to be finished moving OUT) The House in Houston isn't finished and won't be for at least 3 weeks. Our stuff, and my yarn stash, is at Kim and Todd's house. Our furniture is in storage in Conroe Texas. Every other thing we own is boxed and in storage in Lake Charles. We are going to be sharing Kayla's room for a few days and then we will head on to Houston. We will not have computer access at the extended stay hotel in Houston. So, posts may be sparse for a couple of weeks.
