20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 4

[icunurse_celeste]

I am imaging Scott will answer this question....
We have a small man made pond that backs up to our yard...the pond is roughly the size of a city block. There appears to be an animal- which may be an otter in it? As you used to live in the IL/WI area- is it?




I too am a proud lanyard person....

Paper is done- two weeks off!!! (From school, not work)

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

Proud lanyard person here too!!

Hi Debbi!!!! 4,000 pics! And how many of those are "mirror pics" It was great to spend the days and nights with you Would love to see some pics from the big one. You need to post some of them!!!

I did go back to the store I bought the fish extenders from and they were out of them Wish I had wall space in my cube to hang one up.

Hey Scott... I am sure we could all come up with pics of Pete for a 12 month calendar

And Andy got his Panama card!!! Good for you! You may be the first american to get his.

It is HOT here! Over 90 degrees!!!! This is a bit much. And it is definately not a dry heat

I have a new intern working for me for the summer and she graduated from WDW College program last August. Says she is a Disney nut.... we shall see about that

Hope every one is well again!

Debbie

I want to thank each and every one of you for making this cruise so special. We loved seeing all the little gifties in our fish extenders every day. Having such a large "family" on board was so special. I especially want to say hello again and thank you to Steve & Amy, Liz & Bill, and Elaine & Margaret. You were the best tablemates, and we had so much fun with you!

SUPER DITTO from Liz and Bill. Bill's been sick with the sinus, but about to get well...I threw my back out, first time in the jungle of a yard we came back to.

And well, is anyone else feeling like they have to eat as much as they did on the ship?

We want to thank our new ship family for all of the warmth, the many, many gifts (I started individual thank you's on the ship, but quickly was way behind) and especially the friendships!

We miss you all and can't wait for that reunion trip to be worked out!

Liz C.

Cool, thanks Peter. That will be my weekend goal...

I prefer Kodak Gallery, that's what we use. I find when I do order prints, theirs are far better than anyone elses, enapfish, etc.

 

[TDC Nala]

Proud to be one of those Lanyard People I am.

Holy Batfish! Scott's channeling Yoda.

 

[auntrenae]

I just got my postcard! I feel like I'm back there right now sitting in the big porthole outside rockin' bar d! MMMmmmmm, I wish it were true!

Hi gang... sorry I haven't been online much... if you would see the room that the computer is in ... my pin/computer/craft/junk room... you would understand. Not too easy getting the walker in and out of here. It's like a senior obstacle challenge.
Got our two postcards from the Canal today. Made me want to cry. I wanna go back!!
Celeste: Joe said to tell you it might be Bucky Badger.... A Wisconsin thing for sure... Don't ya know eh?
I too am proud to be one of "THOSE LANYARD PEOPLE" Go us!
I am having technical difficulties with my photos... I think it might be the goofy Kodak Easyshare program.... or it could be the drugs.

 

[BobandLee]

Hi all.
Just back from exciting kid baseball game. They lost, but it was a good game.
And the kids got their postcards today. We heard "When do we get to go on the cruise?"

Story about the lanyards. We were on the elevator on the first sunday night. Someone commented to us "Oh, you've got those lanyards. You're part of that Rowdy Bunch". I hadn't even done anything yet. Must have somebody else from the board.

But, yes....We are proud to be some of those Lanyard People

Angela

You make us sound like little piggies!!!!!!

I am proud to say that I did not gain a pound on the cruise...it must have been those personal training sessions with Luke and taking the stairs....not to mention all the walking we did at Disneyland.

Congrats on keeping even. I gained too much! Too many deserts, too many krispy kremes, too many oatmeal cookies, too many mickey bars. Too much fun? NAAAAHHH!

We were going through our newspapers that came while we were on the cruise. The weekend magazine section of May 21 had JOSH on the cover. Now I know who he is.(I know, I'm clueless) Didn't know who he was before, but do now.

Say "Hi" to your mom for us.

 

[Scott H]

Got a quarter mile from home only to pass Lynn on her way to work. At least we got to wave at each other.

Celeste, could be a musk rat…. That would be my first guess, if it swims and has a long rat like tail. Wow I got to use my MA in Environment Ed.

THIS IS FOR CATHERINE>>>>
Or better said as Yoda “Seek you a musk rat do you” “Furry is he”
“Feel the Unbrulee” “ The Unbrulee is strong in this one it is”

OK OK OK I am punchy from a boring day at work and then a 300 mile drive home. Snowing over Togowottee Pass.

Bob, I am glad to be with all my rowdy lanyard friends.

Leslie be careful, how ever you may have a jump (practice) on an event for our reunion cruise in 2040. We will have a walker obstacle scavenger hunt. Then I guess we will be called “those rowdy lanyard people with walkers”. Can’t wait to be p[art of that group.

I got tagged!!!!! Sorry I guess no paparazzi photo shoot layout of Peter, He will bribe anyone to keep that from being posted.. LOL The 2006 calendar will be available soon.

 

[Scott H]

Hey Leslie,

How did your kids do a puppy camp????

I bought a garden wagon to put our eldest in and have the pup of perpetual motion pull.
weekend project is to set up a rig for our pulling harness. This will be very interesting.

Bryan (ennisb) just let me upload the higher quality video of the ship going through the canal to his site!

You can download it at http://disney.ennis.tv/images/Movies/. It is the one called CanalLarge.mpg. It is 41MB but much higher quality.

If you have a slower Internet connection, you can also download the smaller 2MB version there as well. It is called CanalQuick.wmv.

Thanks again Bryan!

Ooooooohhhh!! Togwotee Pass!!!!! The scene of the crime!!! I told Keith I was gonna get my own version of his hat...got him one 2 years ago that says "Kickin' a$$ at Togwotee Pass". Mine will say "Togwotee Pass kicked my a$$".

Anyone up for seeing my chest? Not as graphic as half the medical discussions on here.....

Edited to add: Congrats on the tag, Scott--didn't know YOU were first.....

 

[Q's My Princess]

We received one of our Panama Canal postcards today!!

Hi Bob & Lee

What Josh was on the cover of a magazine while we were away?????

Did you throw it out? If not, could I send you some money to mail it to me????

Mom says Hi back!!!!

Happy Thursday from hobble foot!

I too am one of those Proud Lanyard people!

I sure hope I'm up and around by the time our reunion cruise comes around! I'll have to change my pirate name to Peg Leg Annie, or something appropriate.

Well, last night I got around to watching the final 3 episodes of Everybondy Loves Raymond, as well as their pre-finale show. Why am I sharing this???

Well, the cast was reminiscing about their past 9 years of waking up and coming to work with everyone who felt like a family, sharing their lives with each other. They shared how they would miss that closeness, and how it was the best 9 years because of the friendships which were formed.

It sure didn't take much for me to parallel their sentiments to our 14 day cruise! Gosh, life goes on, but... I miss you guys! Thanks to everyone for your smiles, your laughter, and your random acts of kindness along the way! Oh, and your wonderful pictures!
