The Importance of Being Idle

It's now the 10th of February and Mexico is looming large in everything we're doing right now. We have a couple of days before we leave Houston for the foreseeable future.

It's been a fun month, but I think we're ready to leave and start traveling again. That's not to say that we haven't enjoyed our time here - in fact far from it. We've met an awful lot of very nice people in the month we've been here. We've - well, I mean Tracy has - really enjoyed her time working at the office. We - sorry, SHE - managed to get an awful lot of important work done which really helped everyone out during this busy time. What she did was so much appreciated that they threw her a party on her last day.


There was pizza, potato salad, chips & dip, cake, brownies, cookies... in fact everything you might want for a healthy lunchtime snack.

So now, we're no longer having to get up at 7:30 every morning and dragging ourselves into the office.

We're winding down from work this weekend. We met up with Tracy's friend Laurie and her two kids Audrey (4) and Ty (13) last night. I talked football with Ty and crayons with Audrey. We also played hide and seek - which was fun. I had a torrid time trying to find them. Maybe you can spot them in these pictures?


So the rest of this weekend is to be spent seeing people for the last time - particularly Tracy's aunts Bonnie and Connie - and getting ready for our Mexican adventure. We have a list as long as yer proverbial arm to get through so I'm not sure why I'm on the computer - I should be getting some of this stuff done!

Oh yeah - updating the blog is on the list! Phew.
