[DenverVal]

Woke up this morning to a fine sprinkling of the white stuff. I wouldn't have noticed it, except for the deck. Hey David, can you send more sunshine

We had 84 degrees yesterday, this evening it's snowing - David, you're slacking!

Oh my aching back............well here goes nothin' aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!.................................(did it work) I sur' hope so!!!! If not let me know..........I think I gots one good try still in me!!!!!

I think I told you we got back last Sunday, the 13th, from WDW. And you'll never guess what happened to me. I got my nose and forehead sunburned. That's pretty bad for an ol' Florida bird like me to do. I'm always the one who never burns, just tans. But nooooooooooooooooo..............not this time. Nose is peeling, embarssing as all get out. Hey.............. maybe I'll get a new nose out of all this.......sure could use one.

Well, better gets back to work. Talk to ya'll later!!!!!

Hello everyone,
I have been enjoying reading the posts but for me - October 09 seems so far away...... ......but I know how time flies by ....

So, everyone have a nice weekend and dream of Castaway Cay

Hi fellow cruise mates. Just checking in once more. Have been busy with life these days. We will soon be thru putting down hardwood flooring in 2 rooms of our house. It just takes time to do things at our age. We were told by a neighbor yesterday, that it looks better than some professionals. DH was very happy to hear that. Our neighbor is experienced in putting down hardwood flooring.

I went to the Broadway Lion King show in Atlanta. It was wonderful of course. It was more than I was expecting, really great seats. DH insisted I get a T-shirt. He's so sweet. Love you dear.

Will be posting more as the cruise gets closer. Dreaming happy dreams until we sail.

Just checking in - I had not gotten any updates on our thread in a while, so I had to go looking for it.

 

[DenverVal]

Forget scrolling through the main list - just click on userCP and it will show you the threads you are subscribed to. Our weather has been so good we've been outside all weekend. I'm sporting a bright red sunburn - forgot the sunscreen

 

[winotracy]

We've been sitting outside since 1pm with my sister. Great afternoon!!

 

[davidls]

Hope this finds all happy and healthy. Some sort of sickness has been running it's course thru our family. One gets it, passes it on to another and so forth. I think we finally have kicked it right out here!!! Hope, hope, hope, hope!!!!!!
Sounds like the weather has finally cleared up and warmed up for you guys. Glad to hear that!!! Watch those sunburns, they can be painful.
Just checked the ol' vacation count down clock, only 524 days to go It's comin' up fast now buckaroos!!!
Well at least tomorrow is Friday!!!! Then comes Saturday, and I have to mow my grass. Does this craziness ever end!!!! I want my Disney Cruise!!!!! And I want it now!!!!!

 

[MJGirl]

David ... Yes the sun has arrived. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I haven't had to mow our lawn yet, but I'll probably have to next week. Just had the spring fertilizer spread on Tuesday and the aeration is happening next week. I'm hoping to actually have a yard that isn't embarrasing this year.

So 524 days to go! Wow ... I have 108 until my next trip in August. I can't wait I get to experience 4 whole weeks with the mouse. I get to visit Disneyland for the first time, then its onto the Magic for 2 weeks then a few nights at the world. Can't wait. I even get to meet Tracy before our cruise!!

Hey Paige ... I"m off to my first scrapping retreat tomorrow. A whole weekend. I signed up too late to get a room, so I'm travelling back and forth. It's only a half hour drive, so it's not too bad. I'm hoping to finish off my ABD scrapbook from last year. Wish me luck. There is another one in October that I want to attend that I'm going to book earlier as it is a 3 hour drive, and I think I"ll need a room. I'm still looking for a roommate if you are free! By the way, I checked out your website and I hope your Cropping fund raiser went well.

Well to everyone else is doing well. Does anyone have any other Disney plans before our little jaunt to St Croix? Gotta go.

Mine says 533 days until 10/10/2009 - are you going down early??

I just hit double digits until my Hawaii trip! Forget one banana - this calls for the entire bunch!

Thanks for the countdown! I've been so busy lately I haven't figured it out lately. We are heading to WDW next Tuesday Then to Disneyland for a couple days. I love Disneyland No nights at the world in September because we'll still be sailing!! This whole trip is starting to get me excited

I can't wait to meet you too and many of the other folks on the PC cruise. I haven't been keeping up with that thread since it hit part 3

We have quite a bit planned after that cruise too. In the year before our cruise, we will go on three Eastern cruises - one to St. Maarten in December, one to Tortolla in May and this one to St. Croix. I love the Eastern cruises and haven't been on one in a while.

You know DenverVal you are right. After reading your post I checked my settings on my countdown clock and I had it set 1 week early Is my face red or what?!?!???? (Wishful thinking on my part I guess!!!) I do have my count down clock set for 10/8/09 now, we are taking a couple of days off early. One day to get last minute things taken care of, and on the 9th we will head over to WDW to stay for the day, and then drive to the port from there. We did this the last time and it worked well for us.

Well Mary, we got back from a 3 day stay at WDW about 2 weeks ago, it was great!! And, this Oct. 2nd we are going to take a 3 day cruise on the Wonder. But nothing as GRAND as you are going to do. I sure am jealous You wouldn't want to adopt me would you, and take me along?????

Well gots to go and start my week-end chores. These chores never seem to stop. All take care, and talk to you soon.

Hi everyone.
I'd like to be added to this cruise.
We've booked a back to back Eastern/ Western on the Magic to celebrate DH 50th birthday.
Haven't cruised before but we are doing a 3 nighter on the Wonder in August this year.
We're from Kent in England.

 

[DenverVal]

Welcome, kentgirl! What a wonderful way to celebrate a special birthday!

 

[MJGirl]

Welcome aboard kentgirl. 16 days on the magic ... what a nice present (my 50th will be in 2010 hint hint)

Denverval... If you can fit in my suitcase, you are welcome to join us. We have an extra bed/couch ... but you have to answer to Captain Tom if you get caught

Paige... The Scrapping Retreat has been a blast .. I'm really enjoying it and am looking forward to the next one where I won't have to drive back every night and can scrap all night. I can see how this can get addictive!

 

[DenverVal]

I think you meant David! I will wave to you as we fly over Disneyland on our way home from Hawaii! I had planned to make a stop in LA and see Tracy and other friends off as the Magic departed on the PC cruise, but then I found a killer non-stop fare and had to go with that instead. Now if United and USAir could just stay in operation at least until September...!

Sorry Val ... My mistake ... David ... I would need a note from your Dear Wife before I let you come, and as I told Val, If Captain Tom catches you, you have to deal with him!

Hi Everyone,

We are still sailing on this cruise although I haven't posted in a while. We've been busy here as we have moved and work is really busy at the moment.

We still aren't finished unpacking -- see me 6 months for that one -- who knew we had that much stuff??? (I also have tons of boxes just labelled Mickey stuff!!!) At some point I'm going to have to learn the art of scrapbooking rather than just boxing.

Gee .. I wish I'ld known in advance ... but I'm going to be Peterborough for a scrapping retreat Oct 3-5 and it is only a three hour drive away The theme is Carribean cruising. Perfect timing to start my repo scrapbook! That is if I ever finish my Med cruise one.

Fiona ... If you are intereseted in Scrapbooking, you may want to check out GoScrapping They are offering two weekend events in October and November. I went this last weekend to Stratford. I had a great time, and it was only the third time I've ever scrapbooked. I am totally hooked! But be warned ... it is addictive!! If you want more details, pm me and I can try to answer!
