Hi Everyone!

Well....Tex and I just pulled in after a month of being on the
road...whew!

We went to Boston to help Tex's Mother with some stuff (Would have liked
to get more done) and also to pick up a car his brother was giving to
him....woooohooo!

While we were there, we had the great pleasure (along with DMC2U) of
visiting AWI Corporate Offices.
We got to see some really cool upcoming additions (sorry it's all
confidential) but definitely going to be some great additions to the
program:)

If any of you ever have the time to visit the AWI Folks, I highly
recommend it. They not only welcome you with open arms (and hugs), but also
make you feel right at home.

The weekend before we left, we went and visited Capaboo and her Hubby.
Wow......what can I say about these great friends?....Wow!

I have now met the greatest host and hostess ever!

Not only did they insist we spend 2 nights with them in their beautiful
home on the point of an island in Maine, but they also took us on a very
long boat ride around the island to see it and some of the Maine light
houses.
King Tex spent most of the cruise fishing (of course), while DMC2U spent
most of his time harassing me and attempting to make me think we were going
to sink....*Thwacking DMC2U* :)
While cruising the island, Paul (Capaboo's Hubby) prepared a delicious
ocean snack in the galley....yummmm!
That evening Capaboo came into our guest room and her and I chatted
while she finished a warm shawl and graciously handed to me as a gift.
I was ever so glad to have had the time to spend and get to know Capaboo
and Paul, and time to spend with DMC2U. They are now permanently embossed in
gold in "My Book of Friends"...:)
On our way home, we decided to take the southern route to knock out some
of the states I was missing in my "Goal to visit all of the states in the
USA" journeys.
To date all I am missing is Wisconsin, Vermont, Florida (Hey
Chloe!:)...Hawaii and Alaska.....wooohoooo!
We ended up getting broke down in Anderson South Carolina (Thank
goodness in a motel by the lake...lol)
The journey home took 9 days in some pretty danged hot weather (and in a
car with no air conditioning)...yikes!
But.....
We are now home safe...thank you God:)
Saw way too many accidents out there (Be VERY careful in your travels
please!)
It feels sooooo great to be home....for a bit:)
I will be leaving again on August 4th for Phoenix to help my sister
"Nutherbit Phalpha" move into their new home and will be returning September
5th.
I will trying to get some Cy stuff done before I leave again.
(Suggestion for your summer vacation)......
VISIT AN AW FRIEND!!!!!!

Huggggs!

Hey Eep!....welcome back!

Wow, you are quite the traveler, Bit. :) Glad you had a safe journey.
Any chance you could give us some hints as to what AWI has coming down
the pipe? ;) Hope you didn't have to sign a nondisclosure agreement...

Sorry..no hints.
And no non-disclosure agreement.
AWI Folks take people on thier words:)
And thanks, some of the trip got scary.
The scariest was the truck right in front of us losing a tire and the rubber
flying back at us....whoa!

lol well i tryed to get an interview with E N Z O for a school project, or a
job shadow at the awi offices cuz im so gosh darned close to them, but bill

C P!
We could have met had I known you were up in that neck of the woods:(
Maybe next time:)
Good luck in your life's goals.

Thanks Elyk!

YAY!!! So glad you both are home safe and sound. It's a shame we couldn't
have met up in either PA or NJ when you traveled south. I would have loved
to have met both of you in person. Thwacks ya over YOUR head for not
emailing me to let me know when you were going to be in those areas. hehehe.
Sounds like you had a blast (even if you WERE being harrassed by Dmc!!!) I'd
love to see those pics sometime. ;-"D

PS: So did Tex ever catch anything noteworthy? I want details! LOL

Dagnabbit Lioness....I wish we could have met also!
and ouch!...lol
Tex didn't do too well on the fishing.
With all the warm waters and not having a boat with us, it made it hard to
come up with more than some small bass and cats.
But at least we got our lines wet!
Thanks Lioness.....had a wonderful time:)

Jul 16, 2004, 1:01pm

Well then keep that in mind next time you get over this way. ;-"p (I
know of some great fishing holes where ya don't need a boat: large mouth
bass, pickeral, walleye, etc) ;-"D
