Ken

I'm sure you'll reach your goal...are you selling Mickey Mouse shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies?????

I sent you a PM.

That's a good idea - I may have to try it!

I too enjoyed the pictures- Brian. I actually put some of your Twiced Charmed pics in my basket....did you use the "big one" for those?


Ken- Riding for arthritis- noble cause! Good luck with that!


Marathon?

Anyone else officially running other than me?? I did 5 miles today....

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

I am pretty much done posting pictures! Well... I still had the last day to add.... but my laptop is in the shop. Luckily I was able to back up all my pictures before it died on me.

So here they all are for those that may have missed them:

Week 1

Panama Canal

Week 2

Thanks for all of the comments! It is great to re-live it all!

Celeste, Jeff and I are both running/ walking the half marathon. Of course it's been so bloody rainy and humid here we haven't been able to train much...

 

[Hygiene99]

Scott and Lynn - Happy Anniversary! I hope you didn't work so hard that you didn't have time for something fun!

Brian - great pictures. Was that Gene doing his best Shamu imitation coming out of the pool?

To everyone else - Hope everything is going well for everyone! I've been working hard training for the California Coast Classic bicycle event. It's a charity bike ride from San Francisco to LA in September to support the Arthritis Foundation. I'm trying to raise $5000 this year. I'm almost there - $4650 so far. I think I'm going to start having bake sales at my office each week. That could put me over the top.

Maybe I should raffle off my repo pins (I don't think so!)

Ken

Ken We would like to help....
Please PM me your address so I can get a check out to ya..

Hello everyone! It's been a very busy time for me since I got back from the cruise. My office is moving to a new location, and myself and one other person are in charge of everything, as well as the day to day IT duties. Anyway, I have put some of my pictures up in an Imagestation album if anyone wishes to look.

Brian's Repo Cruise Photo Album

Hope you like them. I had so much fun on this cruise! Can't wait for my next one!!!

Brian

Thanks so much for sharing...I got excited when I saw the listing of "Eye Candy for Deb" and I wondered what cute CM did you take a picture of...needless to say I laughed out loud when I opened the picture...it was priceless!!!!!

 

[krdisneybound]

Good Morning Everyone:

I just want to pop in and say to everyone

I MISS OUR MAY CRUISE


Was that wonderful or what. All the cruises we might take in the future

IT WILL NOT BE LIKE THIS ONE

TO BE REMEMBERED FOREVER - and i reall mean that​

I really didn't talk a lot of each of you, but what I did meant so much to me and Harry - hope not too distance in the future a great deal of us can get together again. I am sure it just might happen - because - we will make it happen.


THANKS AGAIN TO ALL

 

[bonzie1]

Kay... I think all of us feel the same way...

 

[krdisneybound]

Kay... I think all of us feel the same way...

I would certainly hope so!!! I didn't mean to say that no one else did.

 

[krdisneybound]

Did anyone hear about the package that was left on Monorail Pink (going to Epcot) I think - it was on Monday?? I understand they had to get buses to take everyone from TTC to MK because of it - The Monorails were closed for a while because of it

I was there but in a different location.

Maybe Jeff and Jenn know something about it

?????

 

[Scott H]

Kay, I think we all know what ya mean. This is a pretty special group of folks for sure.

Work has kinda slowed down, so I have a little bit of breathing room. Great to hear all you guys are training. I need to get it in gear and get a little more serious myself. Yesterday it was Too Hot here to go for a dog walk. It was 87 at 9:00 PM last night. That is HOT HOT for us mountain folks here in WY.

Thanks So Much to all you guys sharing your pictures, they are great, good photographers out there for sure.

 

[krdisneybound]

87 degrees at 9 pm. OM goodness. And probably no breeze??

I also noticed that some of us have booked for the Cruisetoberfest IV 10-14-2006 cruise. Anymore takers??

Renae: how are you doing??

Bill: how is Angela doing??

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Yesterday it was Too Hot here to go for a dog walk. It was 87 at 9:00 PM last night. That is HOT HOT for us mountain folks here in WY.

I had heard that it was going to be 103 degrees in Billings, Montana yesterday....I believe that is close to Jackson. (somewhat) That would probably feel like 115 degrees here.


Kay- you are right. We did travel with a special group. Robb and I have both voiced concerns that we will feel let down with future cruises....we will all have to try to cruise again.

It also makes me sad that there aren't more people posting. I am tempted to go back to the older pages and start PMing everyone and tell them to come back!!!

Robb comes back from Finland tonight! yeah!

Hey guys,

Guess what? Our power lines got hit by lightening last night! It was a huge BOOM! I'd turned off my 'puter before the storm got over us, but Eric didn't think we needed to because we had a good surge protector.... NOT! It fried his internet connection! Poor guy, he's got to share with me for now... If you need to get hold of him for the time being, either PM or email me and I'll make sure he sees it. Summer in Orlando is a riot!

Kay, the MRI is scheduled and I'm staying busy, thanks!

Celeste,

Brandy???? That's what makes it taste so good? Uh... where can you get cooking brandy in really small bottles? Is there a brandy extract that can be used?

Same question for that heavenly bourbon glazed pork tenderloin an pecan pie... I've never cooked with the stuff, and don't have a clue!

Hi Renae,

If you need brandy I can pick you up a little tiny bottle. We only have state run liquor stores here in New Hampshire but they have tons of tiny bottles of booze. Right now it is 78-80, very comfortable.

The final 4 cabinets for my new sewing table have arrived, so now i can build the top and my sewing room will be finished. It will be so cool to get back to sewing and learning my new craft of scrapbooking..

Bye, Kim
