Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Anita -- Wishing you all the best for 2011.<br /><br />Diana --- Not sure what the screen size is, but it looks okay. We got home safe and sound and now it's back to the usual shtick.<br /><br />Andrew - It's a great drive and I never get enough of it. I love driving across Kansas and Nebraska and Texas-- They are not as featureless as some people make them out to be.<br /><br />Chris -- The 80 MPH speed limit in most of Texas is a big help.<br /><br />Geoff -- I am indeed safe at home and I gave a big thanks to God for giving us such a wonderful and safe journey. I hope your 2011 is a year filled with blessings.<br /><br />Lisa -- I have driven throughout Texas many times throughout the years and I never grow tired of it. If you'd like a great vacation experience and like wild scenery I highly recommend the Big Bend National Park area of Texas-- what a wondrous place!Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-90944064353783865072011-01-06T08:39:13.871-08:002011-01-06T08:39:13.871-08:00I'm happy to read that you got a new laptop!

Well done. Today ...So the airport scans missed you. Well done. Today is Thursday so I presume you will be home by the time you read this, WELCOME HOME. I'm a little jealous of the laptop but can only look on your trip with envy, I love long drives, so much time to bond with whoever is in the car with you.<br />2010 was a horror for me and to tell the truth I am quite happy to put it behind me, January is the month when everyone looks to the future with anticipation while December is the month when everyone just wants to get a chance to put their feet up and take a breather. Yes I'm very glad to be shot of 2010.<br />May the Lord bless you abundantly in 2011.

The food was fabulous and the fellowship was fantastic.<br /><br />We don't exchange gifts so there was no did I get what I wanted, but other than a job, I couldn't have orchastrated a better holiday! It goes without saying that we did enjoy tremendous time with family and friends. More so this year than in years past!<br /><br />By God's grace and divine enabling, I trust that I am able to give God the glory and reflect His character through any and all events of this up and coming new year.<br /><br />Congrats on your laptop.

I have to say that I got exactly what I wanted this season. I wanted time and it was granted. Writing, blogging, family time, all of it happened and I'm rejuvenated for the new year.<br /><br />I have one question though. Are you doing the A-Z Blogging challenge again this year? I loved it so much last year and would love to do it again. If you are not I'd like to just do it again for me (excluding Sat & Sun for myself) but it really changed me as a blogger and made me a better one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-23418364735545482002011-01-04T05:24:17.585-08:002011-01-04T05:24:17.585-08:00I'm so ready for another year!
