Having a Great Afternoon

Oh, this is Maggie she is the Mascot for Barker Street Gourmet Dog Bakery.

As I was driving home from the Pet Fest, I saw this pumpkin patch and decided to take a few pics.....Fall is in the air here.....so, glad Summer is over.

THE GREAT PUMPKIN ~ Charlie Brown

There are some of the buildings in Old Town Spring....lots of mom & pop businesses, antique shops, craft stores etc... TRADE DAYS is the 3rd weekend of each month.

These dogs are from PET FEST 2008 in Old Town Spring

There were booths with all kinds of dog supplies, food, baked good, clothing...etc. I even saw several rescue organizations for all kinds of dogs.

Great Pyrenees.....GREAT DOG

This Lab is awesome! I miss my dog!

These two Bassetts were cool...one has a man's hat on and the other has a ladies hat....

This is some random dog I saw while at PET FEST 2008 in Old Town Spring.

Back From Bogota

Well, I am back from Bogota in one piece. Both legs of the trip were redeyes...so, most of the passengers went to sleep pretty quickly after we did our beverage/meal services.

OK - here's the scope on Bogota. DON'T GO! One of the FA's that is a speaker said it isn't safe for Americans to travel there. He said that Americans are targeted at the airport and have been known to be kid-knapped and held for ransom or sold to guerilla's for ransom.

This is the second country I have been to that has been unsafe and I am just about over these 3rd world countries.

But, I still wanna go to Buenos Aires, Liberia, Lima, Quito, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Quito. Once I have been to these places....I AM DONE with South America.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Miss and Love ya big time!

Bogota Baby!!

Hey everyone,

I have been assigned a 3 day trip to Bogota, Colombia. I fly out tomorrow night at 11:59pm....it's over night (redeye) and should arrive around 5am. I will be there for 18hrs. I am not sure of how safe it is for Americans to be there, but will let ya know!

IAH was shut done last night due to weather...we had severe storms here for a good portion of the day. I had a Newark overnight...that was 4hrs late because of the weather.

I got to my room at 3am.....ugh...it was a long day and a very short night. Was up again @ 8am to catch a flight back to Houston.

Today was my mom's 74th birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! I love ya!

More when I return from Bogota!

RTFM

Tryin' To Keep Up With Blogging

This is me on the tarmac in Las Vegas. The first time I was there...I fell down on the tarmac. THAT LAST STEP IS A DOOZY.

Ran "The Flying Man's" First Blog September 25, 08

Well, I am now a blogger. I just finished talking to my niece Jessica and she told me about their blog and so, I have now created one.

Not sure of what to write yet, so bare with me!

I have been living in Spring, TX for about 5 months and just survived my first hurricane. Mr. Ike came through with a vengeance and demolished Galveston. The Kemah Boardwalk was blown away.

I was without power for close to two weeks. Been staying with friends.....Got power last night Wooo Hoooo!! LET THERE BE LIGHTS....

During the time when the power was out....I was lucky enough to get two trip to Vancouver, BC. Loved it there.....it's very scenic....beautiful.

I have been with flying for Continental Airlines since April and been able to see some great places and looking forward to the days when I get to fly to Europe, South America and Asia.

I have been to most major cities in the USA a few times. Caracas Venezuela was interesting....we weren't allowed to leave the hotel for our own safety. Wouldn't choose to go there again.

Mexico City was pretty cool. Definitely would go there anytime. My favorites cities so far are Seattle and Vancouver.
