Andy’s Vacation in Texas – Tom Kraft As Is

Helping around the house

Andy is not always the most cordial of guests. I think he is getting bored because he seems to complain a lot more than he used to.

I guess maybe he is beginning to be a minor asset. And boy, is he proud of the strike plate project.

Since we are in South Texas I should probably take Andy to the beach. It probably won’t happen because my skin is allergic to the sun and my car is allergic to the sand.

Getting to know Rory

Andy’s relationship with Rory has been slow in developing. Rory is the boss of the house so it took a bit for him to get used to the newcomer.

I think Andy might be spoiling Rory when I am not home. Each time I get home it seams that Rory is spoileder than before I left.

Settling down at Tom’s

We decided that since Sean was working two jobs that he would not have time to entertain Andy. So he is going to stay with me for a while.

Next post will be about the adventures with Rory.

Road Trip South

This Memorial Day weekend Alexa and Sean thought it might be a good idea for Andy to spend some time in Texas. They had been talking about it for years and it finally became a reality.

Here are some photos taken of the trip from Fairhills Minnesota to Corpus Christi Texas, Andy’s home for the next year.

On the way to Fargo — Alexa wanted Andy to have a fun vacation in Texas this summer so Sean decided to take Andy to Corpus Christi. This is a picture of Andy riding in the cup holder.

Heading South thru the Dakotas — We found out it was going to cost about $800 to get Andy a plane ticket, so it was decided that he would ride home with me. This shot is of him strapped into the passenger seat. Later on I let him drive through a thunderstorm.

Chillin' at the hotel — Andy got pretty tired driving in the rain so as soon as we checked in he was kicked back on the bed.

More comfortable in backpack — Andy was pretty tired in the morning, though I didn’t know why. So he did not drive on the second day.

Checking out Raggedy Land — I figured out why Andy was so tired yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night and found him on my laptop checking out Raggedy sites. The Raggedy Land Link

Picture of Ann — Another shot of Andy looking at pictures of his friend Ann.

Later I will post some tales about his adventures at my house.
