You're putting mine to shame!! Gorgeous!

Let's see.....does it have seeds? No.... Because it's striped like a watermelon? Because of the pink glow? How many guesses do I get???

Never thought of the seed angle.....


The color at sunset.

I got it on my third guess. Which was actually the only serious one. That was too easy.


There's a small mountain in Central Phoenix called Camelback Mountain. Can you guess how it got it's name?

Time for dinner..............

Hi Everyone
I wanted to thank all of you for the support that you have given with my illness and looking forward to the transplant. I have also been looking forward to meeting all of you on this cruise, unfortunately DD's graduation ceremony is earlier this year than in years past. They recently announced the date which is Friday June 2, the second Castaway day, so I have had to cancel this cruise. I would love to be able to cruise with you all but I know it would create all kinds of distress at home. I am still planning to come to WDW and see many of you at some of the pre cruise meets. I will be at Jetty park to get those sail away pictures so be sure to wave!! I just wish I would be able to enjoy the entire cruise with all of you. I am also wanting to be cautious about the whole malaria situation (Costa Maya) don't want to make myself not eligible for the liver if they happen to find me one. I am still planning to cruise on the holiday '06 cruise. But will have a better idea after the appt. Monday March 20, with the transplant consultant team what I will be able to do. Again thank each of you for your support, pixie dust and prayers. When any of you A neg (blood type) cruisers are done with your liver keep me in mind. (not you stacey)

Thank you again
gaRRy

So sorry to hear you will not be diving with us this trip, but then I understand. Somehow the kids always come first.

As always, just give us a call when you are in the area. We would love to meet up again.

 

[scuba diver]

Who are you, and what have you done with Garry?

Just kidding. Vicki wrote that, right? Doesn't matter, you will be missed. And do keep us posted!

Diana, that is good point. GaRy would never have been able to write that. It was in plain english and I could understand it.

You guys were really busy so I am skimming thru the 50 odd pages since I left, Then I am off to launder and pack for my trip tomorrow.

 

[scuba diver]

Why? What am I? CHOPPED liver?


I get no respect.........

No, I think he just decided that his parts are better than your used parts. Maybe you abused your parts to much?!

 

[scuba diver]

It's time for Desperate Housewives. I don't get that show, but than I don't need to. Sharon will watch and rub my back. I love it!

I was up to 7 gallons before the Red Cross changed the rules and told me that I couldn't donate any longer because I lived in Europe for more than 6 months since 1980. They think I might have mad cow disease. I'm not sure that I'd donate again even if they change the rules back. I might check out the local plasma center, though. They'd even pay me for donating. Why didn't I think of that before. More cruise money!

WOW I never knew that, I spent 10 months in Europe in 1984 so that would count me out too!!!

Jeri,
Anything show up in your mailbox yet?

Not yet. I will be on the doorstep tomorrow waiting on the mailman.

Chiming in -- The only assigned seating I am aware of is character breakfast seating which is based on the rotation - I think that we will have our C/B on the first Castaway Cay day.. Otherwise, breakfast is at the buffet - and they have an omlette station behind the buffet - and the sit down breakast is at Lumiere's. I believe it is first come first serve.

Several folks with kids think of stashing breakfast items in the fridge to get an early start on CC day.

Hopes this helps....

I keep milk and cereal in the room as the minute DS opens his eyes he want's breakfast, this way he helps himself and we get less nagging till a decent hour.

Great news, with the inspiration of the speedo man today my Treadmill 5k time was 45:35! Over 2 minute improvement.

 

[Juletime]

Better news DH came home from grocery store with a surprise (sample) bottle of Banfi! (thanks to you guys the right one) And I have to say YUM

 

[itdjbw]

It's going to be a beautiful day here in GA. I already mentioned to our office manager that he should let us go early today. He tends to do that once a year on a beautiful spring day. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll get to go home at 3:00 today. Then I get a jump start on cleaning the house before picking the girls up from day care. Emily was off of school today so she's there too.

I wonder how Julia's skiing in NC will be. It's going to be awfully warm here in the south.

Ang

We had a great weekend, we left Thursday and got home around 6pm tonight, the weather was warm and some of the slopes closed today as the snow could not be maintained it was too warm but fun was had and they did get to ski at both beech mountain and then 3 times at sugar mountain.

Thanks for the update, Stacey! Now praying for a suitable liver with that rare blood type. But at the same, hoping nothing bad happens to OM.

Our Trader Joes' opened today! It was such excitement (I know, I need a life)! I bought a case of Two Buck Chuck, though in NM, it's Three Buck Chuck. Got the Chardonnay, will get the Cab next time. Didn't want to buy two cases since I had to park at the grocery store across the street. They built a small one here, they obviously don't know how much we Albuquerqueans like to EAT!

I heard they are opening 4 in Atlanta and cannot wait!!!

 

[mickeymo]

Did y'all actually have snow? I was starting to think we'd have to turn on the a/c here.

Ang

We broke down and turned on the A.C. today - if it wouldn't have been a weekend with John home, I may have stuck by my principles to not turn it on until at least April.

 

[mickeymo]

Irene, where are you? I sent you a PM about making ressie later on.

I'm off to watch Desparate Housewives. I need to get some shut-eye before getting up at 3:00 AM for ressies!! Night, night all!!

Ang

Good luck and happy booking! Here's hoping you'll get everything you want!

 

[itdjbw]

Well, it's definitely raining now. And cold. So the nice Mommy has the heat on in the car for the kid and he says it's too hot!


Rushed back to watch "House" and it's a repeat.

When is Prison Break coming back on?

Also waiting for Prison break to start again - any info??

 

[mickeymo]

gaRy - Sorry to hear that you won't be on the ship with us, but you know that you are in our hearts and minds. I was looking forward to meeting you, but the day will come. Stay safe and healthy!!

Ditto that - If you're coming down for sail away - will we get to meet you at JB's for dinner on Friday night?
