Sunday afternoon--
It is just the most beautiful day here in Terlingua!!!
I have been in the sunshine almost all day-even had a picnic out here!! Carol and BW have taken charge of this place-poor T is sick, like they were a few weeks ago-but never fear-Carol has an arsenal of goodies to help him heal-even brought the aloe Puffs for his nose!! BW has been all over-Carol fixed a great breakfast and now we are going for a drive, probably to the Terlingua store to get Joshua a birthday surprise!!
We are planning to be going to Lajita's for a new years dinner and party with Ann and Miss Elle, do not know if T will feel up to it-anywho, here are a few pics we took this morning. AHHHH, nothing like the Chisos at dawn!!!

Oh my!! They ALWAYS say "we'll be up and outa here by 3:00am- RIGHT-wrong-how about 7;00am!!! Oh well, no sweat off of me-I just hang out watching those two run around like crazy!!
You would think we would be gone another month!!
Ok, we are ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!! gOT Eric Clapton doing his Cream thing on the cd- and we are on I-20. Nope, gotta stop-get ice and OH no there they go again, jumpin' out clicking that little box agin-this is gonna take FOREVER!!!
Well, we've stopped in Abilene and God bless her, no chicken for breakfast-everyone is having a egg mcmuffin-miracles DO happen-roadtrips and McDonalds-that is my kinda good time.
I've settled back for the long ride-the music has changed to Peter Gabriel.....zzzzzzzzzz something about shocking a monkey....hmmm....wonder how a monkey would taste????...zzzzzzzzzz
Ok, something about oil wells, home of George W. (maybe that is some kind of jerky!!!)
We got off of I-20 and here come the Glass Mountains and the sky here is so blue and full of funny looking clouds. We are headed to Terlingua from Alpine, it is still light but the sun is falling fast. Barney has never taken pictures of the rocks in Big Bend using a digital so he is like going NUTS!!
Here we are-uncle T is waiting for us-what a paradise we have arrived at-beautiful foliage-newly planted pansies just waiting for me to hike my leg on!!!! And-WAIT-what is that scent??? And THAT one! Oh my I am in heaven!!! New things to smell over and over again!! and I am going right over and lay a nice little steamer on T's drive way!!
It is going to be a great trip!!!

December 28,2007
Hey! How has ev eryone been??Did ya have a great summer and fall?
We just kind of just "cruzed" on through the last 6 months-didn't really go anywhere or do anything! That was just fine with me-I was just Poodle-e-pooped from that long adventure.
Lately, Barney and Carol have just not been themselves!!! They even slept in separate bedrooms for awhile-that really confused me-I didn't know where to sleep!!! they were both coughing their heads off-things were just really not good for me!! I missed all their attention so much that I started chewing on myself and THAT really got me alot of BAD attention. Anywho-things were just starting to get better-Carol and I were sleeping late again-Barney was going to work-the sun started coming out again and WHAM-were going on another roadtrip!! Carol jumped outa bed this morning and called Barney-at 10:00!! and said "Let's go to Big Bend for New Year's!! He said "Hell Yes! and she started flying all over the place-cooking stuff and dragging suitcases outa everywhere (glad she baked my favorite biscuits yesterday). So, I just had my bath and I'm like all ready to gop-my sleeper is in the car with a clean sheet on it, so I'm set. Now if those two will get their act together! Yea, right-Barney is still trying to figure out which CD's to take and Carol has packed WAY too many clothes!
Well, I'll be ready to go at 4:00 am I don't know if they will be-now--where did I put that chew bone??????
