Jan is the only time it is slow at work so I take as much time as i can. they only reason i even come back on the 23rd is because i have an important banquet that week or I would stay longer. My goal is to say the whole month of January one time.

Wish I had a Halloween trip to Disney planned! I am just having a BLAH week and that sure would make it better! But I guess I'll have to find another way to make my week better. Maybe I'll just go shopping at the Disney Store!

Hi Debbie,
We did Mickey's Halloween Party right after this year's cruise, so if the timing works out right you could plan for that next year too. Plus we got 7 hours at MK including Trick-or-Treating for about half the price of normal entry. The cost for the Halloween Party was around $50 each person. We were allowed to enter MK at 4 PM. Guests without Halloween armbands left the park at 7 PM when Trick-or-Treating started. We had the park to ourselves until 1 AM.

DW is out of town this week, so I celebrated with DD Laran (3).

Shortly after we got up this morning, she told me, "Happy Birthday." Now she knew it was coming up because I told her a few days ago. I think I heard someone on TV say something about a birthday, so I assume that's what inspired her to say it (on the right day).

This afternoon she MADE me a cake, a gift and a card. Does she actually know this is normal practice? Anyway the "cake" was made of solid wood donuts that stack in wedding cake fashion, with a plastic tube vertically on top for a candle. The "gift" was a castle she made out of building blocks and the "card" was a playing card with stickers off of her potty training chart. Still very impressive to come up with this on her own.

This evening she took me to the best thin-crust pizza place in Indiana, Arni's. I got a free birthday pizza and she got the kids pizza, fruit bowl and free icecream. I had the waitress take a picture of us to email to DW. I'll add a picture of the birthday gifts she made.

Good Morning Everyone. Have a Magical Day

 

[susieq55]

Good Morning everyone!

I Just wanted to pop in and see if all of our cruisin' friends in the midwest are doing okay after what I have seen on the television reports! Please let us know that you are safe and well!

Here in Jersey, we're slated to have some of that same storm come through today but not as severe. Taking our visiting British friends to shop in Lancaster, PA today for all of the outlet shops - I'm afraid we'll be running in and out of the stores today in the rain!

Everyone stay safe out there!!

Evidently I slept right through it. You probably saw Caitlyn (CaydennsMommy) said they had Tornado Sirens up north, my MIL said they had same in southern IN, then my wife told me she heard they took cover here at her work, too. We only live a few miles from there, so I guess we should have too, but I never heard the sirens.

Interesting, while your friends visiting from England, my DW Lara is in England. Try to stay dry and enjoy shopping.

 

[Hoosier John]

Now I'm curious. Just turned on the TV to see the news. What did I miss; anything near Indy?

 

[Hoosier John]

Looks like there were 7 tornados yesterday in Indiana, all but one were in north central Indiana, not too far from Caitlyn, but we know they are okay. Milford/Shawn and I are in central Indiana and Debbie/Junior are in NW Indiana, so hopefully all are fine. We also had straight line winds up to 100 mph around the state.

We did MNSSHP a few years ago (just DH & I). This year after the members cruise, we flew out on Saturday. I was kind of bummed because the MNSSHP was on Saturday night, so we missed it. But next year we're staying till Sunday.

Thank you all so much!!!

We're fine here in NW Indiana. Tornado WARNINGS came out right when we were waiting for the bus to pick up the kids for school. Then I drove to work praying that I didn't drive into a tornado!! They called off the tornado warnings fifteen minutes early (originally they were till 9:00 am and they canceled them at 8:45 am) Hopefully the wind dies down today!!

Glad you are all alright!

First time I saw this channel and the Happy Days show on in a very long time. Now Laverne and Shirley is on.
How many people remember these shows? Careful you will show your age by how you answer this one.

They were two of my favorites growing up! My age, 41 and counting on the outside and forever 12 on the inside

Perhaps there is an Aye Hop for breakfast then!
