WOOO HOOO YEAH !!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
 


Just to keep the celebration going a little bit longer...

Happy Birthday WildernessDad!!! :cake:
 
We have my mom staying with us for the next while... She's 85 and is definitely showing signs of her age. DDaughter, Mom and I are headed to AKL-Kidani on Sunday for the week. Doesn't look like we'll have very nice weather. I would prefer 70's to the low 60's expected. DDad's staying home with the dog :) Someone has to look after her - she's old too - 14 this year. We got mom a new 'ride' for the trip. Her wheelchair was delivered yesterday. I hope to add some personal customization to it - time permitting. On our MK day, we hope to take a side trip over to the Lodge. It will be interesting to see what has been done since we last visited in December.

We're not particularly sports people, but do enjoy watching the SB commercials. I hope all our Groupie friends thoroughly enjoy your game day celebrations and activities!

Are you sure it isn't the other way around?

Have a great trip Di!! We had my mother with us and made a few trips to Disney - such good memories. :) Don't let her forget a warm coat! When you're sitting instead of walking it's just cooler. Once my nephew had to share his black hoodie with my mom - it made for a fun picture at least.

My countdown is 14 days! :cool1:
 
Thanks Kathy. We've been packing and deciding what northern clothing is going to accompany us south. She now has a nice lap blanket and a case to carry her cane in on the back of her chair. We've been telling her she'll have the best seat in the house come parade time.
 
:bday:Happy Belated Birthday Wilderness Dad, hope it was a great day!pixiedust:

Di -I hope you have a nice trip.

Jimmy- enjoy the game today!

 
Thanks Corinne!! Looking forward to it. Its a big deal for the Carolinas for sure.

To Jimmy, and all the Panther fans....what a great season! And while the disappointment is surely strong right now, I think you have a team that will be competing for the championship for a while to come.

And congratulations to any Broncos fans here. It was a hard fought game to be sure!

Yes, congrats to the Broncos fans! The Denver D played lights out, and that was definitely the game changer. I can see why they were ranked #1 after watching a complete game with them in it. Kudos to their management for recognizing the need of a strong D after the last SB.

I am looking forward to the next few seasons if the Panthers can keep the team intact for the most part

On to happier times...Booking Aulani for a Sept. trip today! We have always wanted to make a trip to Hawaii and DVC has allowed this to happen. Love our DVC:love:

OOOh that sounds like fun. Hawaii was never on my radar but I know a few folks who have done Aulani and loved it.
Glad you guys are recovering from the superbowl. I'm living in Eagles territory and I've just now gotten permission to stop wearing black mourning clothes and move onto purple. Super heroes and football are taken seriously in a house full of testosterone. :teeth:

Happy Monday Gang.
 
For the wheelchair, I got a bag, similar to a stroller bag to hand on the handles of the wheelchair, and then bought glow in the dark paint in a tube, and put my dad's name on the bag. Made it easier to find in the sea of wheelchairs, and great place to put a rain cover for emergency showers. Good for other thing too!

Have a great trip. I have fond memories of taking my dad in a wheelchair (he never used one at home, but too much walking, and I was afraid of people bumping into him as he was a slow cane walker). He always stood in line for the rides, with his cane. People were so kind, one man accompanied my dad into the bathroom (although he needed no assistance) and actually waited inside the restroom to accompany my dad back out...and my dad is a LONG bathroom person. I was touched as this man was with his with and two small daughters who were waiting for him, and the wife gave her hubby a hug and kiss for being so kind...wonderful memory and I try to pass it on when I can.

Aulani, like so many Disney Resorts, is a place where you really never have to leave to have a great time, but . . . . . Please, Please, Please make plans now to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial AND the Punch Bowl (National Cemetery). Both are different than you may think. So impressive, so moving; you will talk about them for a lifetime! Of course, Oahu has lots to offer with lots to see and do; like climbing to the top of Diamond Head, hiking to the many water falls, visiting the Lolani Palace, eating from the Shrimp Trucks, etc..; all typical tourist sites that are easy to find.

On another note, keep your wallets and valuables close at hand; leave nothing in your car. Aloha!

That is a wonderful memory. Disney can bring out the best in people. I hope his daughters grew up to be just like him.
