YEA, Linda. I think a few of us forgot what we ordered and paid for. I had to go back through my receipts and check them.

YEEEEEE HAAAAA LINDA!!! YEA FOR THE PONY EXPRESS!!!

Can't wait to get home and see what's on our doorstep! Right now, it's just red white + blue flowers!

Just got back from the MouseHouse.... Didn't want to leave, but at least our pins were here waiting for us upon our return! Yipppeee... they are VERY nice. Too bad the mail person bent the envelope and both maps in the process of jamming them into our mailbox!! No worries.. I'll put them under a stack of books and that should straighten them out! (the maps I mean... not the mail people!!)
Also waiting were some lovely villainous stickers! THANK YOU ELAINE! I can really get back into the scrapbooking now that I have all kinds of new supplies! I think Joe is ready to take back his statement that this would be less expensive than the pin addiction!!
Georgie I meant to mention that your 4th decorations were fabulous! You have quite the flair for decorating! Ours consisted of a Mickey Americana Doormat and an antique type flag sign hanging on the door. Now you've given me some ideas for next year though.

 

[Az Pirates]

Wow, came to check in and you have all been VERY busy chatting up a storm here!

Leslie, our mail lady did the same thing with our pin & map.
I'm all for trying to straighten out the mail people as well as the maps!

Lesley, Amazing pictures from Costa Rica!
Let us know if you do a trip report. I'd love to hear more about your vacation there.

We need to get a kid or two out of the nest so we have more time and money for travel. They don't cost much once they're out on their own... right?


Great pics of houses decorated for the 4th Georgie and Jenn!

I was kind of surprised to see quite a few of the pin and map sets up for auction already. Maybe since it was one per person and not just one per stateroom some folks have extras they don't really need.

Renae, I made the trip to the scrapbook store sale. They even had some things marked 90 percent off! I bought a pretty good pile of stuff... now just have to make a commitment to actually DO something with it!

 

[wrabitdad]

Nothing like pins and maps in the mail today to remind us of the important things!

Just wanted to say Hi and that we haven't forgotten anyone or how extra special meeting all of you made the trip.

Thanks to Everyone for all the efforts at the planning and all the gifts that kept appearing on our door!! Yes, we're late but its been crazy since getting off the boat.

Dale came down with what we thought was usual allergies or a cold while post-cruise at DL, so that didn't make the flight cross-country very enjoyable. After not getting any better she finally went to the doctor and now it appears she may have been having a chronic sinus infection for a while. Antibiotics are finally kicking in. I went on a 2 day business trip and have been recoveriing from a severe head cold the last 2 weeks. This morning was spent at the oral surgeon having round 2 of implant surgery, this place is really looking like a drugstore. Hope we don't mix the antibiotics up!

To top that all off we both walked back into work to deal with the worst Red Tide outbreak in New England ever. Since we both work for coastal tourist towns in the health/environmental field I don't have to describe how hectic its been. Nothing like having all your shellfish areas closed at the start of the summer season and everyone wanting to know if it's safe to swim. Things are slowly improving as water tempertures rise.

It is time for the next cruise?? Count us in for the reunion cruise whenever it is!

We'll be at WDW 9/8-12, 11/10-20 (DCL 11/13-17), and 12/2-5 (to visit the christmas celebration in Christmas, FL. So is you see the lanyard (yes, we're proud to part of "that" group) or t-shirt, be sure to say hi.

Hey everybody,

I'm glad you all got your pins, they're sure pretty!

I've been taking weird meds because of my back, and they make me do weird stuff. I woke up this morning to find that I had gotten up in the night and framed some stuff from the cruise! I did a pretty good job, too... Like I said... weird!

Sheila,

Welcome to the scrappers club! Where on earth did you find goodies for 90% off? What was on sale? Those sales are hard to find, and great when you find them, so you go girl!!!!

Renae

 

[auntrenae]

Has anyone checked the Weather channel yet? We've got some action going on. Cindy looks like she'll head west, but Dennis is taking a bead on Florida. We're thinking good thoughts...

Renae

 

[krdisneybound]

OH MY - I am ready to board the WONDER on Thursday morning.

Guess we are in for a treat this weekend. Think of me, guys. !!!!

 

[krdisneybound]

Guess I'll have to make sure my house is taken care of before I leave -

Excitements we have in our life.

 

[auntrenae]

Kay,

Dennis is headed into the gulf for now, so your cruise should be fine... lots of rain around the state, though, like we needed anymore of that!

Sorry to hear about your Nov. cruise... You should only have to do that for fun stuff, like a better cruise!!!!!

Well, my mail person joins the ranks of imbecile mail carriers around the United States! Mine was bent right in half! However Disney could have at least put some "do not bend" stickers on the package! (not that the mail carriers care to follow instructions anyway)

Hopefully they should straighten up under the pile of books here as well!

Robin

 

[krdisneybound]

Renae: What did the dr. say about your back. You gonna be OK?

Robin

Robin: So sorry your map was bent. I agree with the "do not bend". Or they could have put a piece of hard material inside for safety.

 

[moocow35]

Robin: It will be good. Changing jobs is definitely scary. You 'll be fine. Just think of the new friends you'll make. Wish you were going to be a little closer to me. That would be great. I have a very dear friend - since middle school - that moved there a few years ago and try to see her often. I'll definitely plan on seeing you during that time.

Hi Kay! You know that you and Harry are welcome anytime! I will have plenty of room for house guests. Then inbetween, you know we can always meet at WDW! Enjoy your fast approaching cruise!

Robin
