Its been a hectic week for the Travel Inn Texas staff!
PODs are cool! We helped evacuate a family after a sewage leak problem. It was stinky!! We rescued some toys from the evacuation. We are training them to be toyvoyagers. Meanwhile, they are joining the staff of Travel Inn Texas. Denny's again for supper! Travel Inn Texas is getting a bit crowded. Nolan's Daddy made a nest for Birdt! Being bored in the car waiting for business meetings to be over! We visited the toys at the library New staffer, Bongo being silly |

My My! What a week! Travel Inn Texas was relocated for safety reasons. What fun! Littlebear Lightfoot brought over an unfinshed doll house for us to finish and use for the trail.
We got a badly damaged box in the mail. We were very curious what it could be! It was Okuma!! We were so happy!! We had been so worried! We also let the guests decorate for Christmas! The lights were difficult! They got all tangled up! I made some delicious stew in the crockpot. Everyone loved it! Everyone had extra tea, too! Its my own special blend. HOT of course because the weather is getting cooler! A little local honey for our tea! Local honey helps with allergies! Home made banana pie for desert. Our primate visitors loved it the most! Our current guests are: Okuma Little R2 Coco Jahjah Birdt Faschi Larissa Frog We're all real good pals now! |

Nov 24-28 Hotel Log
Thanks Giving Day at The Kirkpatrick's was nice. The voyagers didn't come out much because Kristy's Nephew, Nicky was entranced with them and he's too little to play. Her niece, Kaylee guarded them from him when they were out. After The Kirkpatrick's, They went to Apple Bee's with Kristy's Mama's Family. Kristy borrowed a camera from her neighbor to take pics of stuff her stepdad was bringing over from her old room. While we had the camera.... This is how Kristy keeps track of all the toyvoyager's travel plans. Bingo was fun! We found a really pretty smelling candle in some of the stuff from Kristy's old room. The voyagers played some clue! Harry Potter Clue! Movie night was fun! We watched The Crocodile Hunter. Fasci is going to his next host. We will miss him! We had a going away party. The cake was yummy! Now, there are 5 visitors. Kristy got a new camera phone tonight, so I can send you better, bigger pictures! She's real excited about it! We suggested sending Fooey on an adventure. Fooey's Canine owner, Jazzper too offense and guarded him the rest of the night! Jazzper takes good care of Fooey and has had him for 2 years. I guess he'll be staying! |

Hi!
We've been super busy and having fun on breaks! The house is almost finished and ready to move back into. We can't be out a lot because we might get dirty or accidentally painted! Still eating at Denny's a lot! They decorated for Christmas! |
Kristykirkpatrick kristykirkpatrick@rocketmail.com Posted Dec 21, 2011, 1:41 am |
Hi! We've been having fun now that we're back in Kristy's house! (FINALLY) All the paint is dry and carpets new.
Coco Jahjah is leaving us, so we had a going away party. Kristy went to a dinner and they gave her a certificate to show their appreciation of her volunteer time. You never grow up in your hometown...they put her maiden name in it...She giggled about it all night. We found a good place to watch Kristy work. We read a good book of stories! We got a new visitor! |
Kristykirkpatrick kristykirkpatrick@rocketmail.com Posted Dec 28, 2011, 11:38 pm |
Christmas dinner was rescheduled. That's a good thing, really...Everyone got opportunities to work, which helps financially. SO we will be cooking Christmas dinner sometime this week.
we got a surprise visit from Kristy's aunt Lynn. She brought us a new friend, Bo. He's like the president's dog. We went to Denny's again. We go there a lot. We'd live there if we could! This is Grammy with all of us we were busy all day and hadn't had time to eat, so we didn't take time to take pics of our food. Here's our empty dishes! Its rainy again, so we took shelter in Kristy's purse. We are making a new party room! |

It has been a long, fun month!
Left Miss Kristy's car at the shop for an oil change. We walked to Grandy's to wait. It rained really heavily on us on the way back! Another day, we had jack in the box at Kristy's aunt Carol's We of course went to Denny's several times. We're regulars now! we like storytime at Denny's. Miss Kristy's kids got her an ereader for Mother's Day. We spent the 4th of July at Denny's too! We saw fireworks, but not so close as to hurt our ears! after the fireworks, we went back inside and ordered from the kids menu. Then, we colored the menu! We really like chineese food, too! Lindy's home cooking is a local favorite! Nolan 's Grammy was with us one day The hot water heater broke! We went to the laundry mat. It was fun! We went to see Kristy's Dad We stopped at burgerking one day. The original chicken sandwich just isn't what it used to be! We adored Island Burger! Genghis grill was fun! We picked indigence with the same starting letters as our name, then Miss Kristy made a bowl adding a few indigence of her own! Salmonella left us to go visit Germany! We will miss the pink, but we are so excited for her! |

birdt is leaving us to new adventures in Switzerland! We are sad to see Birdt go, but excited for him!
As usual, we spent a lot of time at Denny's this month. We love it there. Especially when Mr. Jim is our server. We had to drop by the bank, so a visit to The Corner Pocket in downtown Garland was in order! Date night was spaghetti warehouse. YUM! We went to Island Burger again, too individual pics cookie Drake monster Birdt Concierge |
