I can't comb my hair at all unless it's wet and slicked with conditioner. This time I just ended up ripping a bunch out. LOL!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you're able to "see" the Rangers, too. :-)<BR/><BR/>As for Starbucks, I actually prefer to use locally owned coffee shops, but in Upstate NY a coffee shop serves, well, drip coffee. I'm a latte snob. I ended up drinking drip coffee two days of the four we were there for lack of a proper latte. Hence the hallucinations. <BR/><BR/>Hi, Stef — You're right about that! I'm getting ready to do an article about heroin addiction. I'm betting it's worse than my caffeine jones. If I got to sleep now and then I probably wouldn't need coffee quite in the same way. But on four hours of sleep a night... Well, my body has to run on something.<BR/><BR/>I hope seeing this makes your re-read of <I>Surrender</I> more vivid and fun. Just remember that Ranger Island would have been bare of trees and pretty muddy due to the use of trees for firewood, fortifications and cabins.<BR/><BR/>LOL on "belattee"! Too funny!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Lori — So good to see you again. Curly hair comes with it's own challenges, doesn't it? So Ireland has no Starbucks? Do they have latte shops? Important travel plans revolve around information like this. ;-)<BR/><BR/>And I just love that picture of Ben sleeping. Makes me want to kiss his rosy cheeks.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-4481345841324063462008-10-25T18:12:00.000-06:002008-10-25T18:12:00.000-06:00First, wow.

Throw in windblown, and fuggedaboudit! I can also relate to the Starbucks hallucinations. I had them in Ireland.<BR/><BR/>And how sweet is that pic of Ben asleep? Sounds like just the best trip evah.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-79024210533948386572008-10-25T12:08:00.000-06:002008-10-25T12:08:00.000-06:00Hey there are worse addictions than a Starbucks on...Hey there are worse addictions than a Starbucks one! But I feel for you: no coffee to start the day s****cks.<BR/>Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. Your pics are really beautiful. And I won't reread Surrender or Untamed the same way now that I know what the Rangers actually saw so many years ago.<BR/><BR/>Hugs<BR/>stef<BR/><BR/>PS The anti spam word was belattee....Was it a sign?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-24234934649244594152008-10-25T08:21:00.000-06:002008-10-25T08:21:00.000-06:00Sweetie, I cringed when I thought of you trying to...Sweetie, I cringed when I thought of you trying to comb your hair. That probably took several hours to comb through.<BR/><BR/>It is too beautiful there. Imagine how the Rangers saw it. They saw it before any pollutants touched it. Wow!<BR/><BR/>I think you have a Starbucks addiction. LOL I loved what Ben and your mother were saying about finding a Starbucks. LOL<BR/><BR/>Going to a place you love with loved ones that get it, is so incrediable.<BR/><BR/>Love and HugsDebbie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833523307815933715noreply@blogger.com
