HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL

 

[Verandah Man]

Today is my Rachel's birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!

Have a Happy Birthday Rachel!!!

 

[JLDSMD]

Who's B-day is on the 12th? That was my Mom's B-day too.

 

[JLDSMD]

I'd love to sit and chat with y'all but just got a call from Suz' best friend, her husband's father can't use their tickets to the Brewers game today so DS and I are joining her Husband and their son, 8 months younger than our DS, for the game.

Gotta get a lot done before then. Game starts at 2:45.

Talk to everyone tonight.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Yep. The call was the man for septic problems. Be visiting on the weekend to see what has to be done to the septic and leech field. Now I can get back to sitting on my couch and look out the sliding glass doors to my back yard and enjoy the three holes I have in the ground. Not exactly the landscaping I want. Just as long as the wind stays out of the southwe'll be OK.

I'll get to writing my homily for the weekend. Maybe I can fit this experience into it? Hay! You never know what life can provide in these types of moments.

Any updates on the septic problem Chris? Maybe those tales you've been telling Rach about having to use the out house when we come visit are coming true

Maybe you could take the Brewers some in hopes that you'll see a win. They haven't been doing so good lately have they Have fun at the game!

Hazel and I have a hot date tonight. We are going to our local comminuty theatre http://www.thebroadwaytheatre.org/?go=2008_3 to see "Forever Plaid" a musical about:

One of the most successful musicals in recent history. Set in the 1950s, this hilarious and charming story focuses on The Plaids - four young, male singers killed in a car crash on the way to their first big show. Sing along and tap your toes as The Plaids are miraculously revived for the chance to perform the concert that never was. Some of the great pop hits of the '50s include Catch a Falling Star, Three Coins in the Fountain, Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and Magic Moments.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I've just been skimming the posts and came across Cheryl's info about the rates at the port. Jeff are you going to put a link to that info on page 1? We may be interested, but it is just too far out right now. We're undecided because I would like to go to Epcot on Friday and maybe stay at SoG, but I want to do the early morning DisMeet, too. Anyway, are you? Or maybe Cass could put it up on the Bober site?

Done!

Thanks Cass!!!

As an update on this, I played phone tag yesterday with my contact person from the Radisson so I am hoping to connect with her again next week to iron out some more of the details for us.

Angelina goes the week after next, with her high band & choir to Chicago. They also will be going to see Wicked then spend Saturday at Six Flags. Both the band and choir will be giving performaces at the Navy Pier on the Friday they are there. They leave here on May 21 and come home May 25.

It sounds like a great but busy trip for her, they sure do like to pack alot in on these school trips don't they! How exciting to perform on Navy Pier

She's going to love Wicked. Kristin and Jesse saw it twice!

We saw Wicked on Broadway in 2005 and we loved it! Rach is very excited to see it again I was hoping to be picked to go along as a chaparone(sp?) but no such luck

Yeah, but she doesn't know it yet.........

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Thanks, I'll put a link to it up on Page 1.

Thanks Jeff

What's every one doing for mothers day?

I don't like going out when it's that crowded. So we just a few families hang out by the pool and the men do all the cooking. I hope we have nice weather.

We don't have much planned because I'm on back-up call during the day for work and full call at night so I'm sure I'll be at the hospital in the evening, so I think when we take Rach out to dinner for her birthday today it will be a combined birthday/mother's day dinner.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Yeah, but she doesn't know it yet.........

Those kind of surprises are nice
