Rachel, happy to hear that he is coming along! It's always better to recuperate in your own home!

Glad to hear Corey is home and resting. Hope he is back to himself soon.

Rachael - I'm so glad to hear Corey will be ok. I hope he recovers quickly. Take care!

 

[emmysmommy]

Since I will probably not be able to download to photobucket and post our pics from today until we get home tomorrow, I've decided to do something a little different. We have had/will have 3 meals today before we leave for home tonight. One a QS and two TS. If you can correctly guess the location of any of these three meals sight unseen, you can earn 5 points for each correct guess. Oh, and each person is allowed only 3 guesses, so choose wisely.

Sunshine Seasons
Tutto Italia
Kouzzina

That Violet Lemonade is SO pretty! I'd love for it to show up at F&W in October, lol.

Rachel, I'm new in this thread, but I'm glad Corey is well and home. Thanks for posting while Barb's been away

Just wanted to say thank you for everyone for the well wishes for Corey! He came home this morning and is just going to be laying low for a few days. Doctor said she was surprised how bad the appendix was because he just started to feel the pain. Good thing it is gone!!!

Glad to hear Corey came through surgery OK!

And, thanks so much for helping with the thread!

Hello everyone! Just popping in to say Happy Easter to everyone and let you know that we arrived home about an hour ago. Other than a few gas stops and a stop in Charleston, IL to take our DD (at college there and unable to go with us on this trip) out for brunch, we drove straight through. Before leaving Disney World, I loaded up on goodies from the Writer's Stop, Seashore Sweets, and Karamell Kuche. A few of these we ate on the way home, several I left with DD (along with a few inedible gifts), and then I made a tray of treats to take with us to a family Easter dinner.

Caramel corn & Caramel apple (which I'm waiting until we get there to cut) from Karamell Kuche and Chocolate Chip, Carrot Cake, and Sugar Cookies from the Writer's Stop​

Also, I've had a few correct guesses for our final three Disney meals yesterday, but I will wait just a little longer before I post the pics.

So glad to hear that he is feeling better and they caught it in time. It can be very scary. I know it was with my son. They were doing the scan at a diagnostic center and came out and said. "They know you're coming in through the ER. Drive him directly there and they will take him to surgery. Do NOT stop anywhere on the way. Go NOW!" So glad that Corey is better and home and recovering well!

Before I post my final live updates and get started on the updates I've received today from three new live reporters, I want to first thank Rachel for helping me out this week. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge for the first 3 nights of our trip and the WiFi was great there but then we did a split stay and were at the Swan for the rest of the week. The WiFi and actually even our AT&T cell phone service was pretty terrible there. So bad that I had to go next door to the Boardwalk just to get the few pictures that I posted to upload to Photobucket. If I had had to do this for the other reporters' updates, I probably would have had to pitch a tent in the Boardwalk Resort lobby.

SO A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO RACHEL!!! ​
