I hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and with plenty of sunshine in their lives. We have had plenty of sunsine down here in the Sunshine state.

I took friday afternoon off to run some errands that could not be done on the week-end. Those done and out of the way, I decided to mow the lawn. You guessed it, got a little sun on the ol' bare back. DW says I should leave the shirt on when I mow. (Not because of the sun, but because people driving by see me mowing with no shirt on and they almost crash their cars. Seeing a big handsome hunk, ME, riding the lawn mower. Those are her words my fellow DIS mates. And, yes she had me fooled for almost a year now. I finally figured it out last week when a young family stopped, got out of their car with the kids, taking pictures of me and laughing their fool heads off . Telling the kids, "kids look at that funny looking man mowing his lawn.") My face was not only red from the sun but I had to run and find my shirt to put on to stop the crowd from growing any bigger in front of the house. One of these days I'll learn. Well, I think I'll go out and try to finish mowing the lawn, I think the crowd has finally gone away. See ya!!!

I'm just so excited I am about to burst. I have been keeping a secret from all of you, but it is so close now I can tell. I will be leaving Saturday for the WB Panama Canal cruise. I have been wanting to go on the PC cruise ever since they went in 05. So finally the time it about here. We on the WB PC threads are slowly putting our final good byes before our cruise and we are slowing leaving. Some from Australia left last week. Slowly we will all be on that beautiful ship. We have been a lively group from the amount of posts we have accumulated over the months. We have made many friends from many far away places. There are many lurkers I am sure out there who never posted, but know us. So if you are lurking and have a question or two to ask, I am sure some on here will help you out. Even if you would like to chime in sometimes it can be a lot of fun and helps pass the time until we cruise. Be back in 3 weeks. Oh I forgot we are going to Disneyland after the cruise. Never been, so a new experience for me. Bye all.

Our family and WinoTracy sailed on the EB PC repo in 2005, and we had a time - I know you will too! Safe travels!

I was wondering about both of you! Hey Donna, are you still going to meet us in DL? And taking us to the port or is that too early for you?

 

[DenverVal]

You're back already? Welcome home! I hope you had a great time!

 

[winotracy]

You're back already? Welcome home! I hope you had a great time!

Thanks! I was gone 4/29 to 5/6. Back in the swing of things and busier than ever!

Hope everyone's week-end has been a good one so far. It's been quite on the home front here. We were suppose to get some much needed rain, but so far nothing, nada, not a drop. This is our time of the year when we get little to no rain. And, so far it has been doing just that. Next month starts the rainy season. YEAH!!!! Need that wet stuff to make the plants grow. If any of you are getting too much in your neighborhood just send it down here my way.
Been busy this past week. I very nice and friendly little kitty came to our door. We have been trying to find his owner but no luck. He is very affectionate and he had a collar on. We took him to our vet to see if he had a micro chip but alas no luck there either. We got him all caught up with his shots. So I guess we are going to adopt him. Grandaughter Emily has named him Sonny, so I guess Sonny it is.
Well gots to go and start working on the ol' hunny dew list. I keep working on it but it keeps getting longer instead of shorter. Maybe one of you can explain that to me.

Hi David .. We have your rain. I'll kindly try to send it down to you. Wish me luck. Here goes.... Rain Rain Go Away.... Florida needs you ... We want a sunny day. Hope it works.

We have a long weekend today which is good, as I will be up late booking excursions tonight for my August cruise. Yes it is 90 days out. It's going to be a long long night. Hope I get what I want!!!

I hope it doesn't take forever to get in. It's way past my bedtime to be doing that and I don't want to be up all night

 

[DenverVal]

Oh, Tracy, just look at it as getting up a few hours early!

 

[MJGirl]

So ... how did you do last night Tracey... I did okay... Everything was booked before 1:30 .... took a while to get in. Had things booked, but forgot the submit button, then it crashed.

I got very frustrated. I gave up after 1 1/2 hours and then thought about it again and opened the window and I got in and booked everything I wanted. Wasn't so lucky for my tablemates. They wanted the dolphin swim in Puerto Vallarta but I couldn't get it for them. Also Palo was screwed up. I couldn't get a table for 8 for dinner and when I selected the brunch, by the time I confirmed it, it was gone.
