Di, we too hope all goes smoothly with your mom. Best wishes winging her way (and yours)!

ALSO, I've forgotten to mention to most of our recent Groupie additions, but if you desire a Moosie icon for your very own, there are instructions on Page 1 which I believe still work. Please feel free to grab one if you so desire. . .and, no, you don't have to own at the Lodge or anywhere to use him. Cheers!

Good Morning Groupies!
Boy do I ever feel out-of-the-loop!
My mom is 85 and lived with us for awhile. She was visiting relatives in N Carolina when she fell and broke her hip. My sisters and I flew down to be with her for surgery and to get her situated into a rehab facility. We'll be bring her back to Ohio once her caregivers clear her for travel, which could be upwards of 8 weeks. I came home sick and spent a day and a half in bed Todays a new day!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers for a speedy recovery for her & you!

I posted this on my FB page today & I'll share it here as well because we all could use a smile these days. It was lambing season in New Zealand when we visited last month. Pretty sure the boys got tired of hearing awwwww look at those babies! Man are they cute! So cast your vote for something truly important!

Which is cuter? Puppies or lambs?

Praying for your mom and your family. You let us know if we can do anything to help in any way, we aren't that far away.

Julie,
Not sure I could choose, they both are very cute

It's always puppies for the cutest factor!

I would normally agree but look at that lamb. It's smiling! Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Di, I pray for your mom's recovery.

 

[Lakegirl]

Di prayers for your mom.

I would normally agree but look at that lamb. It's smiling! Makes me smile every time I look at it.

I agree he's a cutie! But that puppy would get me in a second.

 

[DiznyDi]

Groupies ARE the best! Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and concerns for my mom (and for me). I appreciate each of you so much. I am worried about her being so far away. I'm certain I'll be returning to NC at some point JT and will give you a call or text.

Julie - my vote is for the lamb. How can you not love that face!? I'm a big dog lover but the lamb wins. (I did respond to your PM - did you get it?)

IN THE LATEST HEADLINES, THERE IS A BROUHAHA, WELL, BREWING ON THE VWL LOVERS' THREAD. SEEMS THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE ENAMORED OF PUPPIES WHILE OTHERS SUPPORT THE LAMB BRIGADE. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES!

Both are darn cute, that's for sure. . .but. . .I have to vote for the baby lamb this time. Just a smidgen. . .

 

[Dizny Dad]

Oh my gosh . . .it is so hard to keep up! Puppies, lambs, broken hips, new Groupies, Boulder Ridge agonies, and now this . . . . My work computer decided to take a vacation and I now have a new one; no favorites, no shortcuts, and a memory that just can't remember passwords to anything. I normally don't keep any files for work or pleasure on the computer hard drive anyway, so all of "My" stuff is still readily available on the main exchange server, but my internet favorites and shortcuts are now, again, in the making. Of course, this is the first site I have accessed since the smoke cleared, but I now see myself for the next week or so in "rebuild" mode. Luckily, there was no disturbance in the force making a tear in the space/time continuum such that I couldn't find this thread. It is a life line at times. Live long and prosper . . . .

We're glad you could find your way back "home." And. Both Spock and Yoda would be proud of you.

New Headlines:

VWL GROUPIES HATE PUPPIES!!! DECLARE LAMBS ARE CUTER!!!


(Because that's what I'm hearing and we don't want to get bogged down in the details involving quotes like "this time", "just a smidgen" etc, etc.)

This is when you need a teenager in your life! When I got my new laptop in the Spring DS18 moved all my favorites over for me in about a minute & a half. Passwords (that I told sites to remember) came too. No idea how he did it though! Sorry you have to go through that DDad.

It was a tough race but I declare the lamb the winner! Sometimes you just have to lighten it up. It's either that or

Have a great day groupies!

We had to make that tough choice & we did. Oh the scandal of it all! The poor puppies!

Hi guys! We have officially closed on our first resale contract and can now call VWL home! (I don't care if they rename it). My husband called member services for the first time and had to put it on speaker so I could hear them say welcome home. It feels so right! I am so glad we went with our gut and didn't buy at SSR like so many people tried to convince us to do. Can't wait for our first trip as owners!
