It is kind of hard to describe but if you think of it as a very soggy fruit cake in the shape of a pudding that would be about right. It is a bit of an acquired taste. You can keep them for ages though - my grandma used to make them in the spring ready for next Xmas. She used to put silver sixpences in her pudding and we would see who got one in our bowl (personally I wouldn't risk it with my kids - one of them would probably swallow it).
Some people pour brandy over it and set it alight.
It is one of those things we do it because its traditional - I'm not sure many people actually like it (although my DH says he does).

Mary, now that you mention it I do remenber you talking about and requesting pictures for the newsletter. I think that will be so nice.

OK I have the beginning of the photo gallery up. Actually right now it is just a picture of Mark & I and Karyn's family. I think I have a few other photos as well that I can get up , but thought this would be a start. It is on the newsletter link page so get to it just like you would the newsletter. If you would like you picture in the gallery e-mail it to me and tell me what information you would like to add (I did ours as an example). I put in our real names, cabin number and the fact that this was our 6th cruise and that we are DVC Members. Click on any of the photos and it will open up a bigger picture.

Let me know what you think.

If anyone would like a picture added but doesn't have a digital they can send drop me a line and I'll give you my address and I'll be happy to have it scanned for you.

Hi there, I was just looking at the cam and it is looking pretty foggy and misty right now! Have a great time.

Mary, I looked at the photo gallery, it's great. Did you get the pictures I sent? I'll send you some additional information on the folks in the picture!

Hey there Jill,
I was thinking about you guys when I heard that FL is supposed to get socked with rain this week. But it's still better than the dreaded S*** word that your mother hates
Say 'hi' to mom and dad for me

Hi everyone.

Mary, I just forwarded a picture of us(Gail and Steven)
to you before I read the DIS board. I will sent you information to go along with it tomorrow. I fowarded it to both your e mail address. I hope it goes through. Let me know if it does.
Oh my gosh I forgot the kids. I will scan one of all of us tomorrow and reforward it to you. I am so tired time to go to sleep.

Have a good night everyone. Fondly, Gail1771

Have a great day everyone. Gail

Gail,
Since the server change has gone thru, I am now receiving email notifications once again.

Okay, something weird is going on. I couldn't get on the DisBoard all night last night, and today. Ended up getting redirected and then having to log in & such. ?? I have DCL DIS in my favorites, and it wouldn't come up. Oh well, at least I got it all back.
Mary, I thought for sure I had sent you pictures of us a long time ago? Guess I'll round up one or two and try again.
DH and I decided to take a quick trip to Las Vegas next weekend. Total R & R. Not even taking in a show. We have a nice suite a the MGM Grand with a terrace, may just sit out there and sip champagne the whole time. Aaaahh.

Anyway, off to bed. 'Night all.

Stacey - the changed the server for the boards last night which is why you had to log in again. I would save the new one in your favorites again. That's what I did. Thankfully changes like this don't happen too often.

I do have the pictures you sent a while ago - you were one of the ones that sent in back then. The picture of you and DH from Palo is the same, but the other picture you had back then was from the wedding. Do you want me to put all 3 up? Let me know.

 

[WDWLVR]

I was updating the list yesterday to send to gaRry (to compare with his and make sure we haven't missed anyone).

To date we have 50 DIS'ers and their families with 163 people total. Pretty cool!

I'm pretty sure at least one of those famiies has dropped out but the fact that we keep getting more joining us means we are going have one great cruise and there will be DIS'ers everywhere!

Mary well I'll have to see if i can get an up to date picture sent to you . maybee a good one of the old shirts. I have not opened the list yet. sleeped in some got in last night at 1 am. doing some other work.
WOW thats a lot of cruisers on the list!!!!!! should we call a T A
and ask for a group rate on cabins ???????? that might be something to think about ? ? ? ? see we do this backwards ????
we need the boards to get cruisers togeather then call for group rates on cabins .
what a thought


afff if you drive down like us, staying at the radision about $100.00 or $140.00 for suite it includes parking for the cruise, DCL I think is $50.00 maybee more now
just a thought

okay back to my 2nd pot of coffee

Mary,
I will be sure to get a new picture of the 3 of us when we go to Ireland. That way I can send you a current picture.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! I have updated the photo gallery with the pictures I have to date.

So far we have Karyn's family, the photo from our Sept. DIS meet in Oakbrook, Videogal1 (Linda) with Cash, justmestace's family, Gail and her DH, and lneeley's gang.

Let me know what you think!

I love being able to see everyone! I've included cabin numbers for everyone and have tried to identify all those in the photos. If I've made any mistakes let me know and I will fix.

Thanks!

Barb - that would be great. The photo gallery wouldn't be complete without a pic of you and your family!

 

[justmestace]

Good Morning Everyone!!
Pretty nice and sunny here this a.m. Yesterday was cloudy and had that feeling that it was going to snow....except I'm not in Nebraska any more! Currently 49 degrees and rising. My DH is at our cabin in the mountains right now, lots of snow and freezing. Why he would want to go there right now is beyond me, but he grew up here in AZ, so I guess he didn't have all those years to get sick of it like I did. I'm dreading going to NE on the 10th to visit my family...it was only 2 degrees there Friday!! YUK!

Mary, if it isn't a problem, go ahead and put up all 3, that way everyone can meet DD & DSIL, and see what the kids look like all dressed up, & catch a glimpse of a DCL wedding reception. That photo was taken at Palo. I'm kicking myself still, for not having the photgrapher take a photo of our whole family together at the wedding!! He did Mom, Dad and newlyweds, and the siblings. And I was so busy/crazy that I didn't even think about it.

Best get off here and get busy.....have a great day, everyone!
Stacey

 

[WDWLVR]

Stacey I have the first two up and I'll put up the 3rd when I do the next update. Not a problem at all.

 

[jilljill]

Do you guys think we can get to over 1800 today?!? I have to go to work in a little bit so I can't help much
Have a great day and stay warm

 

[WDWLVR]

I definately think we can get to 1800 today. We're planning to go see Lord of the Rings for the 2nd time so that will take a chunk out for me, but I'll do my best!
