Headin’ to Texas
May 4th, 2008 at 5:37 pm by Dee O'Neil Andrews
I've been feeling pretty well the past week and a half, so am planning to fly out to Abilene Tuesday to visit my mom for a week. Yea! My sister lives there, so I'll see her, which will be much fun. My daughter, Rebecca, is also planning on coming over from Dallas (McKinney, actually) while I'm there so that we "girls," Mom, me, Rebecca and my sister, Laura, can have some fun girl time together for two or three days.
I'll be there next weekend for Mother's Day, so that will be fun. My brother in Lubbock is going to try to come down to visit with us, too, next weekend if he can get away. My sister-in-law - Dr. Davidson - is a professor at Texas Tech and that weekend is graduation at Tech, so she may be heavily involved with that with some of her students.
You all know how flying has been the past couple of months with much higher prices, lots of planes being taken out of maintenance and horrendous delays everywhere, so please pray for me that I have a safe and uneventful trip. I have to change planes in Dallas going and coming and that's always an ordeal, at best.
This is also the very first time I've tried to go anywhere on my own since my new low blood pressure problem, so I'm wary about that. I'm going to have to carry my medication in my pants pocket to keep close by so that I can take it right on time because if I don't, my blood pressure will drop too low for me to function. It still scares me all the time because of the bad falls I had before I went in the hospital in March.
Plus, I don't want to fall in the airport in Dallas! That scares me more than anything.
The next time I write here will be from Abilene, Lord willing. I'm going to be "on the road" all day Tuesday, but will try to write either Tuesday night from my mom's, or Wednesday morning.
Y'all comment here for me when you read this so that I'll have your email addresses (and blog addresses, for those of you who blog), ya hear?
Till next time - Cheers & Blessings to you! Dee
Dee, I am so glad you feel like traveling again. Spending Mother’s Day with your mom should be great! Praying all the flights go smoothly for you. Pat
I just know you are going to have an awesome trip. Just focus on the wonderful time you will have with your Mom and other family members and that will get you through the tough times getting there. Can’t wait to hear about your trip!
Have a fantastic trip and a wonderful visit with the family!
Bon voyage!!
Have a safe trip! Hope everything goes well.
Have a great time, Dee! Can’t wait to hear about your trip.
ditto on all the above
Have a great Time!

Re-ditto all the above. SO glad you’re able to make the trip. Prayers for safe passage, good health, and fun times. God bless.
When you get to Abilene tomorrow, we will be arriving home in Tucson, after a week in CA. We went to the Pepperdine lectureship, then to Santa Barbara, then to my cousins in Orange County. We left there this morning and drove half-way - we are spending the night in Blythe,CA. Tom is watching the Angels on TV and I’m catching up on blogs after being without internet for a week. That’s rough! Have a fun week and I’ll be praying for your health.
Have a safe trip and enjoy the “fam.”
Forget the falling part - just walking in DFW scares me! Have a great trip and enjoy the wonderful scenery in Abilene. (And a trip to Harold’s BBQ makes it all worth it!)
