So this morning, T is up, peed, washed his hands, had a little trouble putting his cloths on (as he wanted comfy pants, but it is still way too hot in Texas for sweat pants). But then he asked sucker Lola, if he could watch the ipad if he got ready.... I said, yes, we have to get dressed, brush our teeth, brush our hair, and put on sun screen. He was super cooperative (unlike B who was tired and still snoring when T was making this deal). We got that all done, and the ipad came out and we watched a little of The Lion King, just pushed play and it was when Nala finds Simba again. Once "can you feel the love tonight" was completed it was time to go to school. B made it for the last 30 seconds, but we still had a good cuddle on the couch.
T went and put his shoes on, gave me a good hug, and away he went into the car. Once B realized she had to give Brown puppy another big hug before leaving... she went and found him and gave him and Lola the sweetest hugs and off to the CRV she went as well. Well that went better than normal.
The rest of the morning, lola and MbMell did some chores, and chatted with DD when he came back from drop off. When he came back and told us what T told him as he left for School.
"It was sure a very special visit with Auntie G, especially with her red iPad" - that kid is cracks us up.
Lola and Brown Puppies left notes for the kids.... T now wants it to be November tomorrow.... don't we all kid... well the texans would like some cooler weather.
Lola Packed up, and had to reorganize as her suitcase was full of rice pasta and clothes and a few things bringing back to Manitoba for MbMell. Brown puppies had to come in the Carry on.
Lola and MbMell headed to a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House - Central Texas at a neat venue down town Austin. MbMell's friend and mother of the Twinkies Gymnastic's buddy was speaking at it. It was a Red Shoe Luncheon. We put on our red shoes and away we went. MbMell had hard time walking in hers, but she was a champ and made it! The Luncheon was super organized and wow were there a lot of people wearing red! We had a great time and Lily spoke wonderfully. It was over by 1 sharp and we had some time to kill. As we walked by we saw all the ladies waiting for the valet parking....

We tried to walk to a Starbucks just to sit and have a drink, but it was closed for renovations, so back to near the car, Lola had a juice and we sat and chatted. Then we walked back to the Tesla up 7 floors of stairs.
Off to the airport we went. MbMell kindly dropped me off, we said our goodbyes and into the airport i went. I have nexus, so i was TSA pre-approved, dropped my bag off, and walked through security without stopping, didn't have to take shoes off and didn't have to take the laptop or anything out of my bag, it was glorious, I was probably through security before MbMell was off the airport property.
I got some Salt Lick Bbq while I waited, as lunch was not so "corn" free and i thought i should eat. Boarded the plane, and made friends with my seat partner (we had a nice empty seat in the middle between us). But he forgot his headphones, and I happened to have a spare pair. I lent them to him, and also made him move once so I could go to the washroom, so we were even. Will have to disinfect those when I get home.

Flight was pretty uneventful to Minneapolis. Once arrived, i had way too much time to kill, almost 4 hours. Still working on waiting, but good time to blog. Once arrived, twinkies were home from Pre-K and excited to try on mommy's red shoes as well as find the notes! Walked around for a while, got some food, and now blogging, while still waiting for my seat assignment.
It was a great 7 days, and now back to reality tomorrow, work. Also found out AA is going on quite the adventure in the next 2 weeks... so keep your eyes posted on the blog for his ventures (if has times to blog, but he possibly is traveling to 5 cities in the next 2 weeks)... doesn't he know it is my birthday month?
Well this is Lola Signing off for now. It was a slice, and can't wait to get to bed, as I am running on 4.5 hours of sleep.
Hope you all enjoyed following my Texas Journey for the 5th time!
Lola.
