[Verandah Man]

We are still dying here. I have never felt this bad. I didn't even open the computer yesterday. We had to move ds to his apartment and I felt so bad we kind of just dumped his stuff and went home. I think he wanted us to hang aroung but I just wanted to sleep. I will have to break down and go to the DR tomorrow if this isn't any better, it feels like broncitis.

Hope every has a great Sunday. back to bed I go.

Feel better soon Joanne.......

 

[Verandah Man]

A get well FO for Joanne!!!

 

[cntkg1]

Well, I'm not feeling worse today so I think that's a good thing.

Glad you seem to feeling better Mel.

I'll swap you Chucks Sister for my Mother

Ooooh Karen, you may want to rethink that. I could tell you stories that would make your mom look like a saint.

OK, I am OFFICIALLY no longer a lurker on the B.O.B Thread!!!

7618!!!

Also, I just realized that we are coming home on Halloween!

Welcome Kathy

Many of us BOBers are going to WDW for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) after we disembark. I'm not sure if Cass has that list anywhere. We thought it would top off the trip well. There is also Trick-or-Treating for the BOB kids if you sign up with Cass. I signed up then realized Megan will be 12! Not sure if 12 year olds still trick-or-treat!

I'm just a tad bit older than Megan (cough, cough) and I want to T-O-T too!!

I will still be doing a TR but wanted to share this with you all first!

Oh Mel, I was bawling through those. Funny how Amelia never looked around once for mom or dad though. Great videos!!

It's great fun....Nancy has some great photos of some of the gfts that we all received last time. Whe she's back, no doubt she post them.

PS - Chris. BTW you need a "/" before the the word quote at the end of Karen's sentence -

Here's a few for you.....

Andy: Great pics of your new addition to the family!

Amelia had some special time with both Alice and Mad Hatter. Below are two videos I took so you understand a bit how this unfolded -- talk about being in the right place at the right time!

Video One
Video Two

This is my favorite! She looks just precious...and so excited!

She was so cute in the videos.... I got tears in my eyes watching them!

My sister Vicki and her daughter VJ paid us a surprise visit this afternoon so we could meet Teanna Grace for the first time. Below are a few pics that were taken. Angelina is Teanna's Godmother.

Beautiful pictures Andy! The picture of Lina and Teanna shows them both off beautifully!

Thanks everybody! I'm so excited!!! Now I have a few questions.

Do you guys wear anything to identify yourself as BOBers (or do you just recognize everyone from their pictures? On the Member Cruise we wore buttons on our lanyards to spot the folks we didn't know or hadn't met yet.)

Do you have any meets during the cruise?

I've tried to access the informational links on the 1st page but I keep getting 404 messages. I'm especially interested in the Radisson info. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? (I tried in Safari, Foxfire & IE).

Thanks!

Kathy, give this a try http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1887474 this is Page #1 from the last chapter of this thread. I was having the same trouble and had to go back and edit in the url addresses again, they didn't copy over when I started the last chapter.

You can also click the BOB'ers logo in my siggie and a lot of the info is on the BOB'ers website.

Kristin's shower went off without a hitch! We all had a great afternoon with family, friends, and really, really great food!

As threatened, here are a few pics of the afternoon:

The Bride-to-be arrives:

Prizes for the games:

Raffled off a basket of "Our Favorite Things": (Actually, not my favs but rather the favs of Kristin and Jesse)

Auntie Gertie (age 93) made the cake. How sweet, eh?

Hazel is feeling a bit under the weather this morning as well, so we are just going to stay home today so she can rest. Hazel had a hip replacement 5 years ago, she also suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome and had a rough night last night, up and down all night long. She just went back to bed, the poor thing.

 

[Verandah Man]

MG, they are some great pics!!!

I thought the first pile of gifts were for Kristin, that was some pile of "prize" gifts!!!

Looks like everyone had a great time, and Kristin made out quite well herself.....

God Bless Aunt Gertie, very beautiful cake!!!

 

[cntkg1]

And here is their favorite gift of all. A very special thanks to Cass who gave me the idea of each guest bringing a scrapbook page for the couple. I decided to add a little twist and asked them to give us a favorite recipe on their pages. Some people went all out. Kristin and Jesse absolutely loved this gift!! The tears were flowing of both happiness and sadness as there was a recipe and a poem from Chuck's mom who passed away in 1995. Whenever she gave out a recipe of her's she always wrote a little poem at the end of it. Always a twist on "Roses are red.....".

Thanks again Cass!!! Your idea was the hit of the party!!!

Thanks Andy. Auntie Gertie was all too proud of that cake. I think she ushered every guest over to it to show them what she did.

I am trying to get my wife into all of this DIS activity. I have some great ideas for DIS tag, but I haven't quite sold her on it yet. I am slso trying to sell her on letting me rent either a convertible or a Cadillac CTS when we drive from the airport to Cape Canaveral. I drive a Toyota minivan all year and for just one day, I want to live in style. The price for just one day isn't significantly more than a standard car. We shall see. You are all witnessing my overplanning at work!

I must confess - I LOVED DISTAG! - It was real fun sneeking up to doors and leaving our goodie bag for them to find. Ellis used to hang the bag on the door knob and then bang on the door and run - he's quicker than me too so it would have been me that got caught! It was soooo much fun seeing yet another goodie bag waiting for you when you returned to your cabin.

As for the car .......do it! - you only live once

Most of us wore T shorts that we made from Cass's design. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1626285&page=7

Thanks for sharing the pictures, MG - it looks like everything went off really well!

Here's some and for all the sickies out there ... feel better soon!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

I'm sorry to hear that. I think you definitely need to see a Dr. You dont' want to get any worse.

We are still dying here. I have never felt this bad. I didn't even open the computer yesterday. We had to move ds to his apartment and I felt so bad we kind of just dumped his stuff and went home. I think he wanted us to hang aroung but I just wanted to sleep. I will have to break down and go to the DR tomorrow if this isn't any better, it feels like broncitis.

Hope every has a great Sunday. back to bed I go.

A lot of the stuff is on Cass' BOBer website. Information on lodging excursions, DISmeets etc. You can click on any of our logos for access.

Yeah I don't think we can fit all of our junk in the trunk of a convertible. Where I am the overplanner, Elaine is the over packer! Most likely I will try to get some sort of luxury rental car or Hummer. I wanted to last time, but she talked me out of it. I will just rent it this year and she will be surprised when we walk to our car. Since we will be on vacation, I won't get in too much trouble at that point! LOL
