Why in the heck does this goofy, spelunking (not!) hippie miss Dallas, Texas so darned much???

My Family!
First, and most importantly – of course, my family! Duh! I lived in Dallas from the time I was eight months old until I was thirty-six years old. And my folks and one of my brother’s and a few cousins still live there. I love, love, love my family and I miss them like crazy! So they are definitely the number one, and MAIN, reason I miss Dallas and go back every summer. And more, when I can help it…. Boy, I sure would love to get to go to Open Camp in August. I’m going to try to swing it, but, I’m already going to another conference in HOTlanta that month, so it’s not totally sounding do-able. Wah. But that wouldn’t really count as visiting family, as I wouldn’t get too much time with them if I did that. I could maybe get a day or so before and/or after the conference. Anyhoo…yeah, the TOP reason I go home is my family!

Other Various Humans!
There are also lots of other peeps we like to see when we are back home. There are old neighbors, old classmates of the kids, and just a myriad of other people that we like to try and see when we are there! Of course, I want to hook up with some of my Punkymoms, as I joined that group in Dallas and miss those girls like crazy!!! There are internet buds that I would love to share a meal with, like Iris Rounds and Mark Mason, both of whom I know from Self Starters Weekly Tips Elite Forum. I would absolutely love to see John and Holly Pozadzides, because, they just ROCK!!! And really just all kinds of people – many of whom get skipped, because, there just isn’t enough time! But if you think about all the different areas of your life – neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, etc, etc, etc – for THIRTY-SIX years!!! That’s a lot of people you wanna go around and visit, you know???
Here I am with John and Holly at Wordcamp Dallas last summer.

More To Come!
There are lots more reasons I like to go back home to Dallas. Three of them are Veggie Garden, getting threaded, and Slurpees. I’ll tell you all about those in a day or so!!!
