[manascarfan]

Thanks for all of your wonderful thoughts and prayers. It means alot to me to have such great support!

Wow, Dave, another 300 game!!! I wish I was that good! Sounds like you're having a bunch a fun! Keep up the hot bowling!

Yes, Mary, I'm with you - it is amazing how those four little days have impacted my life. Yes, those days were alot of fun while we were onboard, but to be able to still keep in touch with you all, and share family ups and downs, and know that you all really care, is a true wonder and blessing! Thank you to each and every one of you.

Sue-Thanks! I am with you about how our 4 days have made such an impact. I would have thought it hard to believe you could forge such good friendships in such a short trip, but I truly feel as though we have done that, and I am very thankful!! You are all the BEST!!!

And Sue great job on the and !!!lol

Good Morning my good friends and fellow cruisers!

A very Happy and belated Easter to everyone. Hope everyone had a wonderful day. The weather here was beautiful for a change - the last few Easter days have been rainy and chilly. It was in the 70's and sunny, so it was very nice.

Sorry I have been MIA. Things around here are really crazy at the moment. I had a little scare with my annual mammogram which gave me a few more gray hairs - notice I said more! But the Lord was smiling that day when I had to go back for more tests and an ultrasound - so happy to say that the area is binign (know I spelled that wrong- sorry). Whew!

Wish I could say that my Easter was nice - but I'll try to explain that a little while later.

Oh I wish I was on Deck 9 with you all - or maybe you could all meet me at Signals bar for a good stiff drink!

Be back on real soon - thanks for being good friends. Don't know where I'd be without DBFF. As they say, friends will get you through. I hope they're right.

Wow, I'm glad to hear that it ended up being benign. You must have been going crazy.

Morning Everyone!

Sue - So glad all turned out well.

Dave - Congrats on the 300! If you ever cime up this way for a tournment you will have to let us know.

Chris - Like Mary said we had some storms come through here. But then again that is what spring is all about. We had hail the size of a quarter. I am just happy that my car windows were ok. On the other hand my house was not as lucky. It looks like some one took a machine gun to the front of it.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Oh no! Will it be expensive to fix the house?

Well, right now we are planning to go to WDW for Food & Wine Fest again this year. The first weekend in November is when we are planning on going. We just love to go down for that. We have even got a room booked at the Boardwalk! To be able to just walk to EPCOT and back is going to seem like heaven. No bus rides! And then we can go to JellyRolls and not have to worry about trying to get back to our resort by a certain time. We are excited about that!

Awesome! I have started toying with a long weekend trip in the fall and since I have some points available, a F&WF trip is one of the options. I'll wait to see how much I spend on my May trip to DL and then decide.

You are so right. We keep talking about all of you here and the good times that we had. Everytime I hear Margaritaville now, it is all Gary's fault, is all I can think of. Bobby says it would be fun to try and hook up sometime down at WDW. Seems like we all go there. Who's turn is it to splash whom, Sue?

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Friends!!

Wow has there been a lot going on with you all.

Sue - I had been wondering where you were lately. What a stressful time. You and your family must be so relieved. I had a somewhat similar experience with multiple series of tests right around the time of the cruise last year. My experience was not as extreme as yours though so I was very fortunate. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Flo - So sorry to hear about your house. I hope you do not have any problems with getting it fixed. I hate hail storms. Even if they do not damage the house or car, they always seem to ruin whatever flowers are growing in the gardens at the time.

Hi Mary - Between seeing you on here and Facebook, it seems you and Mark are always busy doing something. I hope you did not have too much damage from the hail.

Dave - Congrats on the 300. Hope the family is doing well.

Chris - WDW again?!?!? Boy am I jealous. We are going in November but after the F&WF. Darn.

Robbie - You too. Another Disney trip planned?!?!

Hello to anyone else I may have missed. Not intentional. I am falling asleep while typing this so I better call it a night. I will try to check back in soon.

FYI....by my calculations there are approximately 213 days until the SSMC11 Call In. Of course that is assuming an 11/6 call in date. Oh Chris, you better make sure you charge up your cell phones if you happen to be at WDW over that weekend. I am just so excited to be on the Dream, try out the Aquaduck, actually make it to the 'adult only' areas of the ship, join your morning sunrise club, and so much more.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Hi everyone! Dave told me my name came up here lately. We are doing well. We are joining Dave and his crew on a 2011 Alaskan Cruise (hence the signature) and I'm doing Swans and Pirates on their thread. How cool is that!?!?!

We will probably do SSMC12. We invested a lot of resources/points for the Alaskan cruise but we have never done one and we're excited about it.

Of course, Wavebands will never be the same after Dave and I and his crew are done with it.

Hi Gary!!
Nice that you stopped by to say hello! I miss those swans & pirates! That is so great that you are doing the same Alaskan cruise as Dave and Tanya. Wish we could join you.
Hope all is well at your house!

Chris - that would be MY turn to splash!!

Hi Gary - great to see you here. Would you believe I was talking to Mark just yesteday about switching to that cruise. Sadly the costs to do so would just be too high since we booked on the first day and prices have gone up. I know you'll both have a great time.

Gary- It is not "their" thread it is "our" thread!!! And I do believe we will leave our lasting impressions in Wavebands

Mary-How much fun that would/could have been!

Robbie - You too. Another Disney trip planned?!?!

Well actually, I have 2 planned. I will be doing my first Disneyland trip (along with some National Parks) in May and then I am taking my 13 year old nephew to WDW in August. And now I am getting crazy and contemplating a long weekend in the fall. Its easy how an annual pass and gee I have points left in my '10 UY can lead to "gee maybe I should head down for Food and Wine". Though that one probably won't happen since I am not sure that I want to pay airfare a 3rd time this year.

OK friends, tell me that I am not crazy taking my nephew in August.

So my artwork finally arrived from doing the add-on during the cruise.

So my artwork finally arrived from doing the add-on during the cruise.

My artwork came in last week. I was starting to wonder when it would arrive. I was very impressed with the framing of it.

 

[dvc4life]

My artwork came in too! Got it yesterday. And to be honest, I forgot about it. So it was a nice surprise.

Robbie - I think it's great that you are taking your 13-year-old nephew! It's a great age - that's how old my Dustin is and we took him and his friend to WDW in February. They had a fantastic time - everything was fun and exciting to them. They wanted to do everything and didn't sit still a minute! But because there was the two of them, I even let them loose for short periods within boundaries, of course! But the whole trip was awesome, so I hope you have a great time with him!!

Nice of you to stop in. Glad you are doing well.

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

We had sun here today for the first time in about a week. It was nice.

I was very impressed too. Now to figure out where to hang it.

lol.. I didn't forget about it because I remember people posting last year pretty late in the thread on getting their gifts from the previous year. However, when i got home and saw a Fedex notice on my door, I just couldn't figure out what it would be since the only thing that I ordered recently was Disney tickets and they don't normally come Fedex. When I got home the next day and saw the box, it finally dawned on me what it was.

Excellent! Of course I was teasing him on Easter. I had ordered his WDW ticket the night before and I was telling him that I had no idea what character would be on it. So if it was Tinkerbelle, then he would be stuck with it.
(It ended up being Goofy so he is safe.)

Awesome!

The rain made it here today and I am already missing the really warm weather that we have had recently.

Robbie - too funny. We were also thinking, what the heck did we order that would come FedEx? Then when we saw it was from Melbourne, FL we were even more confused. But once I started to open it, I went "Duhhhhhhhhhh, I forot all about this". But it sure was a nice surprise.

Hope you have a good time with your nephew down at Disney. Sounds like fun.

 

[susieq55]

Wow, where is everyone!! Please tell me that just because I finally got on Facebook that nobody is going to write on here anymore!!

Thanks for everyone's support. It means the world to me!
Looks like I may need double the amount of camo by the end of the six months!
