To infinity and beyond

What happens when you change your phone number, after 14 years?

You start getting lots of youhavethewrongnumber calls and strange texts, such as....
"Hey dis ur cousin Priscilla my mom n dad say u might want someone to help u out with income tax if u need someone to claim one of ur kids I'm dwn if yu hook me up"

This leads me to a question for you: If I can transfer my old number over, should I?  It's been 6 months since I've used it.  Aside from the sentimental attachment, it's the number I've had since college, and everyone has it.  I'm at a point where I could hypothetically still transfer it to my new phone, since the new number hasn't been spread far and wide yet...the drawback is...my old number is long distance in Houston.  Does that matter anymore, to anyone besides my grandparents?  I await your thoughts in the comments.

As you may have noticed (or maybe you haven't), I've been something of a deadbeat blogger lately....this is due to the pictures being stuck on the phone (having left the parts to transfer them the back in London) and also feeling like maybe what I have to say isn't that interesting at this particular juncture....so bear with me....

Now that I have the photos to share: The Deluge begins.

Tintern Abbey in Wales

I think I'd enjoy barefeet in the grass during church.

Can you tell where these were these taken?  England vs. Texas
London (Hi Tania!) and the show was great.

I have a really bad habit of taking pictures of hair.

Aaawwwww

An aisle for gravy?  It is east Texas, y'all.

Windsor Castle (England, right?)

London:)





Richmond Park, London

I came back to discover that British TV is HUGE in the States.  Silly me, I'd spent the last 4 months avoiding everything on British TV, with the exception of David Attenborough.  Have I mentioned the hero worship I have for David?  Oh yes.  I would like him to narrate my every move, thought, GPS, voicemail, etc.

Met Mom for lunch during work and this was around the corner.  Look familiar?  Many hours spent here at Pasadena's Stadium.


Starry nights and lights in the ourskirts of London at Christmas parties.

Aside from David's narration, another life dream is viewing space from a humongeous high power telescope at a real life observatory.  To infinity and beyond!

Been a long time coming....

The ocean....how I've missed you.

 
Mom + Maggie

MAGGIE is the BEST DOG of ALL TIME &  she is my hero.  
We chased through the surf, we got sand in our paws,and then she rolled in a dead fish.  

  
Old boat parts from all over the world.

  
I'm seeing these hanging from my hypothetical beach house porch, thoughts?

And some extras I just found....cause I've missed you....


I'll leave you with some Italy

home on the range

Dance with me?


I'm feeling Adele's take on that little diddy.

Holidays are over - and I get the feeling that most of us are happy for it.  Home is sunny and warmish, pretty much everything is bigger (for better or worse) and there's more sky than you can shake a stick at, people are smiley and quick to say Hi.  It's all the same, but somehow it feels just a little different...not better or worse....just different.  Even if I moved away forever, and despite the loathing and apprehension I have for July-September heat, Texas is always where my heart will be.
