If you could live in van ........
Spending the whole summer camping in a van is not my idea of a good time. Put Penelope Cruz in the van, however, and the idea becomes more appealing. Matthew McConaughey likes the notion so much he has agreed to do it with her again, as they did last summer in Mexico. "Penelope likes the van," he told a British wire service.

It's like camping, but waterproof :D and I'll bet the rain sounds awesome during a storm

3. In his position I would have done the exact same thing...
whatever Penelope Cruz wants, she gets, guaranteed.

4. If the van has air conditioning
I'd be all for it. It gets hot in Mexico.

9. The friend that you called on the birthday?
That you hadn't talked to for 20 years or something like that? Is that the one? I'm a hopeless romantic....

How's it going there in the Catskills? I used to love Spring time there. It's till kind of cold here in Maine. My friends in Rosendale sold their house and are moving up here in two weeks!

Have a great trip to Florida :-)

11. That's the one.

When we were talking on the phone last night he said he had so many butterflies in his stomach that he felt like a teenager again.
I totally agree with his feelings. The last time I saw him was 1979.


It's beautiful here! So much of the landscaping I've done over the last 10 years is finally paying off. :)


:hi:

12. That is fantastic!
I am so excited for you!! I hope you have a wonderful trip. What a great story. You must be so glad that you called that day. I'm sure that he is :-)

I'm sure that your landscaping is beautiful. My mom said she's been out getting her garden ready (she's over in Pine Plains area). My husband misses being over in New Paltz this time of year because he's a climber. We won't be back until September for my sister's wedding.
:hi:

10. never lived in a van, but
I did live in a school bus. It didn't have wheels on it anymore, it was parked on a friend's property. My ex and I lived there with our dogs. We loved it. No running water, but we had an outhouse. We did have electricity and a small woodstove inside. Those were the days...

13. but that "van" is very cool...and very expensive. If they use the same
one he uses it's an Airstream...equipped to the eyeteeth. I'd live in it too. It's nicer than my house.


*** I know, MrsG is being a killjoy.

14. Does he drive it himself?
Or does he have an Airstream chauffeur?

15. He drives it himself. I think he has an "entourage" when out promoting
movies, but i know he vacations in it on his own time.
