4/29/06 Eastern Magic...We're Going!!!!!

[partypat]

I recently found Healdsburg Cab that I really enjoy, a 2002 that isn't overpriced, but like I said the boys growing up would have drank anti freeze if we wouldn't have had anything else.

Tom

Does any old 2002 Healdsburg Cab work? Some are better than others!!!

 

[The Roses]

...The Roses, Where are you??

Well, I think BLBCB figured out where we were....

...talking about fornicating snowflakes! As for how we do it, we don't know any better!

Yup, I see my work as a Pirate is needed! AAARRRRRRRR!!!!!! I'll show ye how to do it! ARRRRRRR


The PAHW <---- beating his chest. AAAARRRRRRR!

 

[partypat]

And Tom, as I posted in an earlier post, I was the Maid of Honor (ha) at my girlfirends wedding in Severivell, Ky (she rides the ostrich in the show "Dixie Stampede" at Dollywood). At her wedding, the moonshine showed up. Everyone from the backwoods deposited a mason jar of moonshine at the bride and grooms table. What at taste treat that was. Everyone that went up to the table to congratulate them had to take a swig out of one of the mason jars. The dancin' got quite lively toward the end of the night.

Jon, I hope you gave Sue some breathing room, and didn't turn her into dust ....you know those snow flakes are heading south and I'd hate to see her floating over Sonoma County, California without ya!

 

[partypat]

Or should I say Sue, did you give Jon some breathing room?

 

[The Roses]

Hey! Another West Coaster!
We're chillin' up here, but we haven't seen the flakes yet. I had to turn the heater back on, tho. Supposed to be the coldest night of the year tonight. The dog is already campaigning for the middle of the bed.

We're looking forward to the Oregon Vs California wine tasting competition! We have a Muller-Thurgau that we like alot. Not sure how many bottles we can fit in our suitcase. We'll have to wrap them in duct tape for protection. Hey! Another use!

The Roses
(actually, The Wench. The Pirate was worn out thinking up clever fornicating snowflake replies and went to bed).

 

[partypat]

Sounds like a man!!! The thought of traveling and they run for the covers.

By the way, my dogs trying to jockey for the warnest place in the house. My bed is not an option. so I've noticed that she's been looking around to see if theres a warmer place than her bed. I just moved out of my old bedroom into a new room in the house and she hasn't wanted to change rooms. I think she's rethinking her decision. I think the new one is alot warmer considering it has heat. I shut off the vents in the old room. I guess now she will let me move her bed. She wouldn't sleep in it last weekend. Maybe tonight she will.

 

[The Roses]

Our dear old gal wanders around the house and occasionally forgets how to get back to her bed. She's 18 years old and probably has the canine version of Alzheimer's.

We used to yell at her when she jumped on the bed. Now we applaud
My how our standards change as we get older

Oops, gotta go. The news is on and telling us to expect an arctic blast. I have to go cover the roses. And cover The Roses too.

'night all -

The Roses

Roo decided to stay where the heat don't blow

So off to bed without her...thank god for VCR........I recorded Survivor...don't tell me.

Good Morning

I woke up this morning to Holly telling me she was scared . I don't blame her , the winds here are near 60 miles per hour , they just said 75 here where we live . Everything is blowing around , the pool cover is ripped off and all the bags are now in the pool , my swing is ready to blow away, there is debri everywhere, and it sounds like something came off the house. I think we will lose power to so I cranked the heat up to 75 just in case , this way we will have heat from a little while today . I did run out to get yesterdays mail and it was scary just to be out there , mind you we are very country so lots of power lines and trees .

Roses , I lost my Simmi this past fall , she was a samyoyed and severe hip displacia . I know how it is when little things she use to do I yelled at her for but last year I actually loved having her do them , I just knew she was going to be leaving us soon . . Now it on to my girls yelling at them for things they shouldn't do , so she did get well trained replacements .

Talk to you all later , enjoy your day !

Partypat- Roo looks a little unhappy where the heat don't blow!

Good Morning Everyone. I spent last night moving furniture as we are having our carpets professionally cleaned today. I can't wait! With 2 dogs and 2 kids, a lot of dirt is probably way down deep.

Let's start another question list as I learned a lot about people from the last one:

1. What is your favorite Disney Park?

2. What is your favorite Disney Ride?

3. What is your favoirite Disney Resort to stay at and why?

4. Describe a great Disney Experience that you had (ex: Suzie meeting Kelly Rippa would be awesome!)

Here are my answers to start it rolling:


1. What is your favorite Disney Park?
When I was younger it was MGM but now it is the Magic Kingdom because of my kids
2. What is your favorite Disney Ride?
Adult Ride- Rockin Rollercoaster Kid Ride- Splash Mountain
3. What is your favoirite Disney Resort to stay at and why?
Polynesian- for the atmosphere and monorail access to the MK
4. Describe a great Disney Experience that you had (ex: Suzie meeting Kelly Rippa would be awesome!)

I went on a business trip and the host of the conference paid to shut down Tomorrow Land at the MK and we had it all to ourselves- we got bussed to a special backdoor entrance- it was pretty cool.

Ho Mom2cobysyd

1) Disney Magic Kingdom because I love more then anything now, watching my girls , I'm living vicariously thru them now . I use to also love MGM .

2) Tower of Terror , kids ride , still loving the Pirates of the Caribbean , which is getting an overhaul , something with Jack Sparrow , if thats the case I'll never get off . Can you tell I have the hots for him ?

3) I have been to Disney probally 10 times and have yet to stay on property , so I'm sure the AKL will be my favorate since it is the first time we are staying on-site .

40 , Funny Disney experience . I was alone at the parks because DH was in conference , I had to ride with some guy can't remember the ride but it was slow , but afterwards he asked if I would like to pal with him for the day . YIKES , I was 4 months pregnant too .

 

[OHJulie]

Good morning everyone!

Here are my answers to the Disney questions:

1. Favorite Disney Park
Epcot - I love the entertainment here and there are always some surprises. The food is great also.

2. Favorite Disney Ride
Mission Space. We rode it three times in a row last visit.

3. Favorite Resort
Wilderness Lodge - we love the atmosphere here!

4. Great Disney Experience
We were picked to be the Grand Marshalls of the parade at MGM. It was so exciting for the kids to ride on the convertible and hear our names announced all along the parade route. When we were getting ready for the parade all of the Disney Characters came over and made a big deal over the kids and they took a picture of us with them in the car. At the end of the parade they had a special viewing area reserved for us.

Of course, it was at the end of a long day and Jessica was only 3. She had a hard time waving and smiling for the whole route. She was asleep before the parade was over. Kyle was 7 and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!

1. What is your favorite Disney Park?
I am long time WDW traveler (since park opening in 1971) - so to me WDW means MK. My second favorite is Epcot. But I have only been to MGM once (completely prefer Universal), and AK is so so.

2. What is your favorite Disney Ride?
I think I will get back to you on this after next weekend - I have a feeling that EE or Soaring may take top billing then. For now my favorite ride is The train in MK - weird, hunh? Haunted Mansion is my favorite true ride.

3. What is your favorite Disney Resort to stay at and why?
Fort Wilderness Cabins. I love the cabins so much - they fit my travel profile perfectly. I am budget minded, I like to cook and this also saves money, you have a deck to sit on and drink while the kids are asleep or a living room, it is extremely peaceful, you are a hop skip and a jump away from Hoop Dee Doo Review - waaahoooo!!!!, and you get to take a boat to the MK. Our friends hated it - they hated the buses, but for me, that was one small drawback to an overall great time in the cabins.

4. Describe a great Disney Experience that you had:
Taking my son for the first time when he was one and just watching him run through the rose garden with the castle in the background - it was shere bliss for me.



Mom - do you have short or long hair now?

Goodmorning everyone. Pat, I am a pinot gris or pinot noir fan.

OHJulie, I haven't said anything to you in a while and that is a travesty. How are the IM'ing kids getting along?

OH, and all you people who sent this weather - this is for you

 

[OHJulie]

Hi CG - Yeh, my feelings were getting hurt over here!

I think the IM-ers are still in contact. Kyle has been talking with BLBCB's kids. If anyone else has older kids who want to get in the loop, let me know and I can send you Kyle's e-mail - he's a very social kid and loves to chat on line!

Have another disney experience that I need to share. On our first trip to WDW, my DH's mother had just passed away a month earlier. My DD was only three, but she was very close to her Grandma. During the fireworks Jessica started waving at the sky and saying "Hi Grandma - I Love You!" For some reason she saw Grandma in those fireworks. I think I cried all night!

Sorry for the sap - back to our regularly scheduled program.

Pat - I love most wines. Just nothing too sweet. I tend to go with Cab in the winter and Chardonney during the summer. Is that weird? Clos Du Bois Chard is one of my favorites.

OHJulie

 

[castlegazer]

Oh my God, Julie, not while we are working! (that is an amazing story - I swear my son talks to my Dad sometimes).

On the note of Quinn, he seems to be better - I got all worked up for nothing. He never had anymore bathroom issues, is fine now with that, and hasn't had a fever since Wednesday night. He even got to ride his bike around the cul-de-sac three times yesterday. I brought him to school this morning and apologized to the teacher who I had a ripped a new one the day before. So we will see. I want to go see my Mom this weekend and we can't if he is sick.

 

[mom2cobysyd]

Mom - do you have short or long hair now?

CG- I would say it is closer to long (like the first picture in the album on the other site). You know men- they like long hair. I had it shorter when the kids were babies as it was always in the way.

I always wondered what the cabins would be like.

OHSoDisney- Yikes, I would be a little shocked too if a stranger asked me to be his ride partner for the day, especially if I were pregnant. What did you say???

OHJulie- Grand Marshalls- how cool. How did you get picked?

Anyone else getting in the Disney Mood just reading the responses?

 

[inthemood]

I want to play too!!!

1. What is your favorite Disney Park?

MK. I'm just a kid at heart.


2. What is your favorite Disney Ride?

The first boat ride of a trip from Wilderness Lodge to MK. Rounding the corner and seeing the castle!

3. What is your favoirite Disney Resort to stay at and why?

Well, I guess you can figure this one out! WILDERNESS LODGE!!!

4. Describe a great Disney Experience that you had (ex: Suzie meeting Kelly Rippa would be awesome!)

We were chosen to be the FLAG FAmily
at the Wilderness Lodge (Iknow, I know we love WL) It is the absolute most incredible view of the WDW area! You can see everything up there. The best part was watching my kids raising the flags and then saying the pledge of allegiance at age 4 and 5. So cool!!
It was the morning of hurrcaine Jeanne and it was so windy they didn't want to let my daughter up there, but all was good. Our vacation was suppose to end that day too, but thanks to Jeanne it was extended 3 days and we went into lock down! Something we will never experience again I'm sure!!!

 

[OHJulie]

Mom2 - O.K., now I'm not going to get any work done today. I just keep thinking about all of the great Disney memories. We got picked to be the Grand Marshalls by sheer luck. We were actually getting ready to leave MGM and when we got close to the gates a lady came up and asked if we would like to be the GM's. HMMM, after much deliberation, we agreed. It was about an hour before the parade - she asked us to come back in about 45 minutes and go to a gate where the parade was forming.

CG - Yep, Jessica used to tell me that Grandma sat next to her on the bus to school. Those kids sense things we can't.

I'm glad Quinn is feeling better - and that you've made peace at the school!

OHJulie

 

[castlegazer]

It's funny, we really don't like this teacher - but I am not normally open about it - I leave that to my husband who has to negotiate with her due to his board role. I am wicked embarrassed. I just came back to say to you OHJulie, that I am sooooo sick of reading about Westgate Village every day. I keep up on the competition and because of the issues with Costco here it pops up on my tickler every day. It is Westgate that you and Tom were tlking about, right? It sounds like a really nice shopping center that everyone is trying to preserve that way.
