Great pics, Joanne and Steve! Karen will be happy when she logs on.

I didn't realize how personalized DCL makes the member cruise. Magical!

Well, I'm off to bed.....good night y'all.

I agree with Paige ... those pictures were all great!

And for anyone who's so inclined ... I've posted another brief food porn update. That's three in one week! A miracle!!!

So it appears Chuck and I are becoming "Empty Nesters" by the weekend.
Kristin and Jesse found a really great apartment to rent about 10 minutes away from us. She started moving stuff in last night but they can't officially stay there until November 1st.

I'm one of those weird mom's though. I am NOT looking forward to the empty nest at all.

10 minutes isnt too far Nancy

Yes, BAH HUMBUG!!! That's me

Merry Christmas Cass

Tony asked him if he was making her room into the "boom-boom" room and wondered how long until the poles were delivered. Men!!!

Nancy love does Chuck and Tony have a copy of the said "Boom-boom" opening hours,and will they be allowing international membership....

A close up look at the porch and the Pumpkin Choir. They do all of the singing.

A better look at the Pumpkins. I replace the three in the lower center this year. I carved the last ones and was never happy with them.

Hey... ANDY!!!!

.... just passing through ta say HELLO! ... I bought a new desktop to edit my HD Video footage - just set it up tonight and I just picked up the HD editing software from Best Buy. Maybe tomorrw I may order new photo editing software (Lightroom v2) along with DVD tutorials. I'm gearing up to bump everything I do with video and still images to a new level. I decided against going with new MAC machines and software on account of the cost and suggestion by many that I could accomplish everything desired at a fraction of the cost on a PC platform. I figure I spent near 1/3rd of what a similar MAC set up with software would have cost. I wonder whether this will prove true or just end up a waste of time and $$? In the end - if nothing less - I now have a powerful desktop which will ALMOST run the most powerful PC games at moderate frame and resolution rates. Or at least so after I upgrade the video card further. Eventually I hope to set up dual monitors ... probably only 22" sized as those are a lot cheaper than twin 24" (or larger). Or who knows... maybe I'll go with twin 24s AFTER I upgrade the V-card. For now I'm using an old 19" LCD screen while I get used to the new applications and so forth.

At any rate, we're about to depart for our Princess Sapphire cruise this weekend - and now I'll get to do the Zip line I skipped on our REPO, and Julianna will get her swim with the Dolphins that we skipped on account of alternate plans made with the families gathered in our group in AP. And maybe we'll do horses or similar somewhere. OR maybe not?

As for everything else... things are good... the kids are scoring goals in Soccer... and ... and ... and... oh yeah... we booked 5 cabins for the July 18th Magic sailing for the Northern port rotation. We do have some potential instability in following through with these plans though. There are a number of shifting issues in our group (not us as we remain flexible in following the consensus)... and as such we might actually switch to another cruise line OR we might even switch to cruising another region then Northern Europe. Given the potential instability of the July Disney plans we temporarily had a backup reservation for the April Repo - which was the 1st choice for Alicia and I... in the end however, we decided it was best to just hold ONE reservation to travel in Europe. It's tough though to plan anything under these shifting circumstances with folks favoring conflicting factors for 2010. I have not taken the time to skim back to see whos doing what sailing... and so forth... but it suffices we decided the September REPO was not going to work for us. And as I recall - that was a popular one with the old EBPCREPO gang. Sigh... guess we'll miss most of those who are on that sailing.

Alicia and I are likely to sail Disney in 2009 - it's just we are not certain which one it wil be this time. Most likely we'll do something semi-spontaneously again when Alicia and the kids get restless.

Oh well... time to scoot for now... I gotta burn some DVDs for the girl scout troop - and friends before we shift into high gear to cruise this weekend...

I had to get a cortisone shot in my ankle last Saturday and I have a stupid soft cast so I can't do anything right now. It's coming off on Sat. but then I don't know what new torture he has planned for me!

Oh those shots are no fun either; I'm sorry!

I broke my ankle in 3 places and dislocated it 25+ years ago. It's given me trouble over the years but it seems to have gotten worse this year. Got a cortisone shot in July, which lasted through the cruise, but it just started to bother me again. I have a new foot doctor, so I'm hopeful he will be able to make it better so I can do some serious exercising again.

I know what you mean. I hurt my knee 4 years ago, had surgery 3 years ago that supposedly left me "... with the knee of a 17 year old." according to my docor, but hey, at 17, I could exercise without getting tendonitis.

Incredible pics! You must have a great lens to take that closeup of the side of the flying dutchman!

I have lens envy!

Steve - great yard set up!

Have a great day, All!

 

[Verandah Man]

Roger would kill for a friendly's. They don't have them down here. He always has a fribble.

I know there is a Friendly's in Deland, FL but that be kind of a far drive just for a Fribble.......

 

[CRSNDSNY]

boo

 

[Verandah Man]

Hey Crash, nice hearing from you!!!

Best of Luck with whatever cruise you decide upon. The 2010 special cruises are out of my price range, would have been nice, but oh well, life goes on....

OK, gotta run as it is getting late and I've got to get out the door for work. See everyone later........

 

[Verandah Man]

Running late for work FO........

 

[njprincess]

Is a fribble related to a tribble?

I forgot to mention earlier that we're Trek geeks, too.

It's actually a kind of milkshake. Yummy!

I've done some Trek, but definitely not anywhere close to geek status. Too bad my brother isn't coming - I think he has every episode of every Star Trek version on DVD!

Oh those shots are no fun either; I'm sorry!

Thanks, Mimi

Must have been all that cheerleading!

Holy moly - this is amazing! I'm assuming when you hook up the video, it will have sound so we can hear the pumpkins singing?
