Annette and Amanda - I will miss you! I'm sure you've made the right decision for the two of you though.

Joanne - You doing okay with the bad weather you had earlier?

We haven't had it yet, but supposedly there is a band coming through tonight with very high winds. They also say the worst of it will be here tomorrow.

Stay safe! We have just had the rain no storms. Next week starts tornado season. I will get my survival kit stocked again. Have a great weekend!

Just caught up on this board. Tought I hadn't read it since last SAt but discovered some posts I made during the week. So much for the memory!

Thought I would check in with everyone and tell you what an awesome day we today to celebrate our birthdays.

Just got home from Mary Poppins. AWESOME! What a great day! We had great seats (3rd row on the right hand side). A little close but to me I'd rather be too close than too far back. Well those close seats came with an added bonus at the end of the show. We were giving the cast a standing ovation when a man walked up to the stage and was clapping. It was Richard Sherman! Those of you who were on the 2007 Member Cruise or who have read my review of the 2007 Member Cruise know what he means to me. Wish we could have said hello but he was whisked backstage pretty quickly. The perfect end to the perfect show.

After the show we walked a couple of blocks to Petterino's for a really wonderful dinner. Now we are home and relaxing.

Sounds like a wonderful birthday. I don't think I personally wished you a happy one so please acept my belated Happy Birthday

YOu are too funny with all these smilies.

Me thinks he needs more chores to fill up his time!

I am glad Nancy is feeling better. Tommy said it sounds like they have him in a great program. He was glad that he was majoring in sports management. You know him anything to do with sports. Megan has changed her major to education which surprised us. She wants to teach high school and coach. I guess it really should not surprise us since Ryan is coaching wrestling and Tommy is an assistant coach for baseball. They think they may have found a permanent baseball coach so he may be stepping down. The players will be glad because he and the head coach are really hard on the kids. He wants to start on a new press box for the football field. It never ends.

Some of his teachers have suggest to him that he would be a good teacher so perhaps he will look at something like teaching PE or coaching. I don't think his school offers a teaching degree though so it would mean transferring or going an extra year. With the economy right now he'll be lucky to get through the 4 years.

[danandnan]

Looks like nobody's posting on this thread any more. Anybody out there???

Hi All We have had such a busy weekend that I did not get to post.

Nancy I think teaching would be great for Brandon. He could get a degree in something else and then get his masters in ED. It sounds like Dan is working his fingers to the bone. About like Tommy. He started cutting the football, baseball, softball and soccer fields this weekend. It is nice to have him out of the house and out of my way.

HI Leisha and Tom and everybody else

I don't know if you remember them or not but Dave Halloran and his wife Sue called Saturday night to let us know they are still going on the cruise with us. They at ate Parlo with our group last year.
Actually he called to let us know he called Disney Cruise and changed from catagory 10 to 11 and saved a bunch of money.
We called Sunday. We didn't change but they have lifted Fuel charge so it reduced it by $110.00. We are still in Cat 11. Our cabin is two doors down from Joanne and Roger.

I am glad they are going with us. We are on deck 6 and I think you are on deck 7. Tommy always wants a balcony he likes sitting out there in the mornings and drink coffee. It will be nice to get the credit for the fuel charge. More Konk Koolers

You might want to call the cruise Lines to get the credit. They are going to send us a corrected bill - $110.00
I guess it doesn't matter much because we will be calling back and changing to points anyway. Got the points might as well use them.

We booked ours using points and had to pay the $ 110 in cash so they will add to on board credit.

Glad they are still going! I hope we can as well, but we had some damage in the last storm that may end up not being an insurance claim (if they say it was part of the house aging that caused the leaking) so we may have to cancel. It is more important to me to take our kids somewhere this year, because we could not coordinate schedules to do that last year. I don't know that we have funds to do both our cruise and a family thing after fixing the house - just depends.

Have a great day everyone!
