Where in the World is Tanya?

She's not in Canada anymore!  Hubby & I are in Houston, Texas!  Woo-hoo.  An entire week without me complaining about how wet and rainy and snowy it is.  I have five posts in mind about how freakin' hot it is, instead!  Just kidding.  Althought it seriously is like living in an oven.<br /><br />But I have even more exciting news than just being across the border.  Yesterday we drove to Dallas and met Dana from <a href="http://mid2mod.blogspot.com/">mid2mod</a>!  If you have been following <a href="http://mid2mod.blogspot.com/">her blog</a>, you've probably guessed that she is incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and kind, with a great sense of humour - and you'd be right!  We had the best time chatting with her and her lovely family.  The <a href="http://mid2mod.com/">mid2mod store</a> is also fantastic - a perfectly curated selection of mid-century design in a bright and airy setting.  It is a shame that I can't fit much into my tiny assortment of carry-on baggage.  If you go, bring an empty suitcase or a U-Haul truck.  <br /><br />I currently cannot find the magic cord that connects the camera to the laptop and makes the photos go "whoosh" into blogger (that's the technical term, right?) so I won't be bloggin' about Texas just yet.  <br /><br />But Texans sure are stylish.  Check out this gorgeous space I randomly found online, while checking out some tourist-y things to do:      <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dqqvOO6b1qxOoCUD7q9P6QiVskZTSmnrJjehzxvB3OAVBToI3m0WOvssFecyPVYamzZZXdDv20dIX8V9opQ5Ec8u0EYD8iOm-55mtqxVYD_EGTmo5YKILTp2eGxAeB2mE8wjRR8mKyCD/s1600/houston.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="241" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dqqvOO6b1qxOoCUD7q9P6QiVskZTSmnrJjehzxvB3OAVBToI3m0WOvssFecyPVYamzZZXdDv20dIX8V9opQ5Ec8u0EYD8iOm-55mtqxVYD_EGTmo5YKILTp2eGxAeB2mE8wjRR8mKyCD/s400/houston.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://downtownhouston.org/">Photo Source</a></td></tr></tbody></table>
