Oh Mary Ellen, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's cat hugs to both of you.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. Often times pets become family members and it's so difficult. I hope it went as smoothly as it could.
we are trying to do the same thing!!! Total Disney dorks, aren't we?!?! We've done January, February, March, I've done May, August, September, October, November, and December.
We are also looking at a July option - so that would fit in perfectly with our above plan. Our trick is doing it over the last bit of the month, into the next month - 2 months in one trip.
Oh Mary Ellen, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's cat hugs to both of you.
Hey Mary Ellen,
Gorgeous Gorgeous Wishes pictures from the Poly Beach... (hmmm didn't see Wishes this trip... have to do next summer...)
Not to sound like I just fell off the turnip truck... but is flying out of the Lehigh Valley a better deal... than Philly or is it just less hmmm... stressful?
I am truly sorry about your Mom's cat... not only do I just really love animals but they truly do become companions... (and especially as people get older... It will be hard on her and you as well...)
I have the Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo... I started to read it... but I didn't get into... I'm going to give it another go...
Hmmm... I'm really thinking about trying the Boardwalk next summer... it is gorgeous and it could save us a few precious DVC points...
Just checking in so I am not a Lurker ,this is such a busy time of year at work !! Co ordinating Christmas shopping for 15 people , house parties, and LOTS of other parties, carol singing , bellringing etc etc !!! Then I have my own family stuff to doWhile it is a lot of fun , it is a VERY hectic time !!
I've been off the boards for a couple days - just wanted to say how sorry I am for your mom. Losing a pet is so sad and difficult.
I told DH I'd like to try the Boardwalk on one of our next trips. And Wilderness Lodge. Ideally I'd like to try them all!
There's a lot going on in your life right now! Wow! And then add Christmas into the mix, you've got a lot on your plate. LOVE Snow White on your new computer so cool!
So sorry to hear about your mom's cat. So sad.
What a beautiful cat! Bless your parents for giving her a loving, wonderful home for so many years. My condolences go out to all of you.
That is quite a lot you have going on.
Sounds like Nick has some really decent options. My husband graduated with a an electrical and computer engineering degree and has done very well in the software development industry.
Tibber was adorable, and again I'm so sorry for your parents' (and your own) loss. Animals find such a special place, it's just about impossible to let them go.
Love the macbook decal. I want a mac just to get that decal.
I'm so sorry to hear about Tibber. It sounds like she brought a lot of joy to your family over the years.
Sorry to hear about the cat...he was beautiful!
As for Nick and college...so glad that's a decision that's fifteen years in the future. I'd do for a smaller school. That's what I chose for myself for highschool and college and I never regretted it. I just like the more close-knit atmosphere and always loved that people knew who I was. A lot of people don't want that, though, which I get.
Good luck and always looking forward to more MEK pics!
Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your mom's cat. The loss of any pet is hard, especially one who has been part of the family for many years. And I understand what you mean about them being a ray of sunshine. My grandfather was heartbroken when he lost his cat, because she was his only companion way back in the boonies. At least Tibber spent many years in a loving home.
I love your MacBook decal. That's so ingenius.
Good luck on the continuation of college tours and picking a school. It can be a tough decision for a person. And it sounds like your life has been very busy lately! I bet you're already looking forward to next year's cruise.
What a beautiful cat Tibber was. It's so hard losing a pet when it's become such a large part of your every day life.
You've got a lot of stuff going on in your life right now. I hope that it slows down a bit so that you can enjoy the holidays.
I am reading your report and just finished the part where youtalk about the diving horses. Did you know that Disney made a movie about them? It is titled Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken It used to be one of my favorite movies when I was teenager. Going back to read more now.
Finally getting around to commenting. I had looked at your pictures earlier in the week, but I haven't been home much- I was shackled to a book fair at the middle school.
I think you made a fantastic call for the last moments of your Disney trip! That is what I did on my family's last night. The guys were pooped out after our dinner at 'Ohana, but I went down to the beach by myself watched the Electrical Water Parade, the fireworks show (Nightastic) and just relaxed!
Your fireworks pictures are beyond fantastic!!! I love how every single one of them is different- the color or shape of the fireworks, the color of the castle, the ones with the boat.
Bummer about your missing book, and the end of the trip, but on the plus side, I can't wait to join in on your October trip!!!
Thanks for the great report!!! Love your writing style and your pictures were an important inspiration for me to ask Santa for a big girl camera this year. I have been a pretty good girl, so I think there will be one under the tree on Christmas morning!
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. I really appreciate that and I really hope that you get that camera. This is the time of year that I got mine and I really enjoyed taking it out and practicing with winter scenes. That winter is snowed a ton and I had plenty to work with. Enjoy!
