I met Laurie Pooh!
One of the bonuses of having online friends is that we sometimes get to meet in real life. Today I met Laurie Pooh. She lives up to her name - very huggable like a Pooh Bear! And yes - her eyes really are that blue!
We had a delightful time over Cajun Food, but both of us thought my Dirty Rice tasted sorta, kinda TexMex - go figure! I’m not going to say it was bad, but I know Dirty Rice and this stuff wasn’t it. Maybe they think Texas appetites wouldn’t know the difference, ya think?
Laurie didn’t come empty-handed. She brought me a “Welcome to Texas” goody bag. Isn’t she a sweetheart? That tee-shirt is important, so pay attention. Each year Laurie participates in the Dallas Breast Cancer 3-Day, a fundraising effort in support of Susan G. Koman For the Cure. Her readers (and some of mine) supported her last year and I hope you’ll do the same again this year. She’s having a major fundraiser on Thursday, April 16th and you’ll enjoy helping her out. If you live in the area, just go to On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina on State Highway 121 in McKinney for dinner that night and you’ll be supporting this great cause. The restaurant is donating a portion of their proceeds that night, so all you have to do is show up and eat. And hey - go early. The first 25 diners to show up with Laurie’s flyer (just ask - she’ll get you one!) will also get a goody bag. You already know Laurie does great gifts so go and get you some!

Yay! Thank you for a fun afternoon, and for posting about my fundraiser.
I am glad you are (sort of) right up the road!

Welcome to Texas! Sorry it took me so long to get around to welcoming you, I seem to be lost in the blogosphere somewhere! Sounds like you’re getting nicely settled in and Lance is adjusting too. Have you decided where to set up permanent residence? I haven’t been to Ennis yet, but it does look interesting!
