Hi Gang! We are back from our nice camping weekend. Last night we were around the camp fire watching shooting stars during the meteor shower. The friends who were camping with us are also Disney freaks! Our wheels were turning all weekend while we were discussing upcoming trips!

Welcome Back!

I was just wondering if you guys had gotten back yet. It sounds like you had a good time!

 

[klineyqueen]

WELCOME KATHY!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

OK, I have caught up now. I ended up taking a nap this afternoon. I think the stuff is getting in my system more & I just decided to not fight it since DH was home. He took the kids to the pool so I could have some quiet. I have set the alarm for tomorrow morning. I will have to drag the kids out of bed so that DS can make it to soccer camp. I am hoping that I will be able to run some errands with DD while he is there.

1. I found something I like for formal night! Now I'm going to stop looking and worry about other things.

Congrats!!! That is a great feeling!!! WOO HOO!!!

Welcome Back!

We did! I have not unpacked anything!!! It all stinks like campfire. My DS keeps saying...mama...something smells stinkey!!

I am flipping back and forth reading what I missed and what is happening now.

We have a jar of fluff here. Now how do yours get done. Here you cut off the crust and then half & thirds so you have 6 pieces.

No fluff in the Midwest -and I am a grocery guy. Just Kraft Marshmallow Cream here - is it similar?

Hi everyone!
Had a great visit with my brother & his family. We did Hersheypark for more than 12 hours on Friday (plus the 1.5 hours of driving time each way) so we were on the go from 7:45 am until midnight! Very fun day. And boy, walking the hills of Hersheypark counts as quite a workout. They have a new attraction that's like Buzz Lightyear with a Reese's theme--and handed out samples of a new kind of Reese's cups at the end. The new ones have caramel added! Yumm! Plus they were keeping them chilled for us!

DS is still 2 for a few more weeks, and he rode Trailblazer (it's Hershey's mildest roller coaster, but it's more intense than a kiddie coaster) and Coal Cracker (the water flume ride).

I still need to catch up on some sleep!

Glad you had a fun day. Hershey is really a work out! Not only is it all hilly, there is almost no shade so it is usually very hot. Although, Saturday in PA was beautiful!! My DS also loves the Trailblazer!

It is basically the exact same thing! We have both here.

[lillygator]

are the Indians waking up?


OK - we got rid of "Da Lil Boi" (and YES, that is what his name is on his papers, thanks Drama Queen) and guess what we end up with tonight? A baby miniature WILD bunny.....

now we have tons and tons of bunnies in our yard. They love to burrow in the Pineapples and Bouginvillas it seems, but this young one was in the road while DH was watering. And another thing - --- - we live in a bird sanctuary....so there are Osprey, Owls you name it waiting in the wings so to speak.

So Johnny, as mucha s he likes to play meanie scooped up the bunny and comes to the door and yells "V, come here quick"...I thought we won the lotto and I could finally cruise in the Walt suite....but no, Thumper it was.

so now ---- we did a diservice I'm sure by handling him/her....but for a wild bunny to warm up so quick I was shocked!

 

[becka]

Well, I hate Walmart too - but it is because of quite a vested interest with me . . . While the atmosphere does seem to "suck my lifeforce out" they have become a competitor that is savaging our business. Last week was an awful week for me because I had to lay off 18 full-time employees - some of whom had been with us for almost 10 years. They earned decent wages, and had good benefits. But, since 4 WalMart SuperCenters opened in our area, all selling groceries, paying low wages, and minimal to no benefits, it is harder and harder to compete. The company I work for has been here for 73 years, and this was our FIRST layoff of FT employees EVER. It was really hard, as I had hired most of these people, and they all have families.

Hate WM.

John1

I hear that alot about Wal-Mart. We are getting another Supercenter opening here later this year.

I consider it the same, but I'm not a Fluff purist. Actually haven't had the stuff in years. I think we actually had more of the Kraft stuff as kids.

 

[lbgraves]

Awwwww, Van....that is so cute!

 

[becka]

John1

It's in the rules.... We have to share everything we know!

 

[87Heel]

John, I'm trying to support your camera habit. Well, not financially support... I have my own habit.

 

[becka]

The only think I have ever seen that Kraft fluff used for was the fudge my Mom makes every year at Christmas.

V - Cute bunny! We have several that live in our backyard and the kids especially love seeing them come up next to the house. Unfortunately they have the bad habit of burrowing in the tall grass when DH is mowing. It is has been bad a few times.
