12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 2

[brack]

Brack, we reserve where we can at 11 months so we are sure we have a spot, then try at 7 months to reserve where we want to stay. Especially that first week of Dec as lots of DVC folks seem to go that week for Mousefest and it is also when they have the annual meetings for the resorts.

Good idea Angie. I'll go ahead and book SSR; then see if I can change in June to AKL. Thanks for the tip.

 

[brack]

Will you be there in time for dinner? We are going to Epcot on Friday. Can't wait to see it...the Santas & Illuminations.

I'm sure we'll drive then and leave as early as possible the night before. We'll stop somewhere in NC or SC (GA too much to hope for) then finish out the drive. I'm sure that we'll be at WDW by the afternoon.

If SWA or AirTran have a CHEAP fare we might fly. Then we'll be in early on Thursday.

 

[brack]

Lisa - are you still cruising Dec?

Where is everyone staying?

Annette wants to use points to stay at the new AKL but where ever there's an opening that's where we'll be.

 

[lbgraves]

Vanessa, no we are not cruising on the 12/8 cruise.

The Candlelight Processional too, Lisa. Oh my it is amazing!

 

[MrsMork]

Autumn! Hope you have a wonderful day! March babies are THE BEST!!

Tarheels continue to "March" on!

Go HEELS! What a hard-fought game.

Go HEELS! What a hard-fought game.

Raymar Morgan, from MSU went to the High School I graduated from . . .

Our team (where I am on the school board) won our region tonight, and we are now in the State Division I final four. We are cancelling school on Friday (day of the first game at 5:15 - they will add a day on in June) which works for us, since now we don't have to call Sophia off school when we leave for Orlando!

 

[MrsMork]

DrHug and I decided it was weed and blackberry spraying day. I had just gotten started when I stepped in a hole in the yard, fell with a 5 gallon sprayer on my back and sprained my ankle. What a klutz! Darn gophers! The sprain is not too bad. Hurt like the dickens for a while, but after some ice and some tylenol I am now able to hobble on it. I did have one of those amazing boots they give you for really bad sprains (from a few years ago when I did a real job on both ankles! ) and I put it on so I could manage to help Dennis finish up.

Oh Angie! Put the foot up, you have an adventure to begin on Monday!

 

[MrsMork]

I know, PJ. Actually we are heading over to the coast tomorrow afternoon. We will have a little playtime then Dennis will work 9-7 each day. I will be able to nurse my foot while he works. He wants to spend a little time at the casino nearby one evening also. He can just sit me on a stool in front of a slot machine I guess. I think it is not going to be too bad. It hurts when I put weight on it, but not enough to make me stop, just enough to make me limp.

Please be careful!

I hope it is better today. Blessings to you.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Autumn. She is improving everyday. She is now able to sit by herself and yesterday she walked about 20 feet with just holding my hands. They thought it would be months till she walked again. The last 3 days she has managed to eat enough so I did not have to feed her through her tube. She is smiling and laughing again.

Hugs all
Jill

rest up Angie - I hope it wasn't your driving foot? those sprains can take a long time to heal.

Jill, thank you for updating us. Glad she is improving, we will keep praying.

I have just a walnut size swelling right in from of my outside ankle bone, so I think it was not too bad. It is my driving foot, but I will be able to manage. I am limping around this morning and doing ok, I just can't walk straight up and down stairs, I have to turn my foot to the side and do the one step hobble up and down.

 

[kimerinc]

You know, I know we are a very special group...but it's funny how this site brought us all together. Sure I can talk a great game on the net and all...but I find it so fantastic that we got to meet people that we WANT to see, spend time with, talk to, etc again....how often do you get that?
What's even better is my dear Johnny...he doesn't post, doesn't visit - I have to fill him in....(poor thing, not sure he could get here if this wasn't saved in favorites....ok, don't tell him I said that!!)...but he is alwyas asking about what's going on with who...and wanting to know if any of the "who's" are coming to WDW anytime soon.

Anyway ---- just want to thank you guys, just knowing that I have a "place" makes me feel good!!

You said it sista!!!! I feel exactly the same way!!

 

[kimerinc]

Happy Birthday AUTUMN!!!!!

 

[kimerinc]

Here are some pictures from this morning's leprechaun visit . . .

Leprechauns left shamrocks all over the porch and front walk . . . unfortunately it snowed!

Sophia had to find them all though . . .

She had a bagful!

Sophia left this morning to go to an indoor water park with her aunt and Amy's cousin. She is gone until tomorrow.

These pictures, of course, made Savannah cry. I miss her!
