Kelly-Sounds like Chad was having a bad morning. I am sad he was feeling like the world was against him, but I do feel happy that he knows I love hime Today was just worst for everyone around here. My heart goes out to everyone that is feeling sad from the accident. I love all of you!

Hello everyone,

Kelly said to say hi to everyone! She is off with Chad at a soccer game. There was a terrible car accident last night and Kelly is a bit sad because she knew a couple of parents whose children were involved. Chad and Jimmy (and maybe even Carolin) knew of one or more kids that were in the accident. She can explain more to you. Anyhow. They are all a bit shook up. So please keep Kelly and her little family in your thoughts and prayers.

Aww Kelly

We're all thinking of you and your family and of course the family that were involved in the accident, it sounds very serious, but I hope that no-one was badly injured

We've just had a lovely morning, we've been to a shopping mall and then been for lunch at a nice restaurant where we've been discussing when we are hoping to return to Florida wizard: which may be early July ) I hope we get to book it soon, as I've never wanted to return to Florida as much as I do now

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, and that the wedding went well too

Mandy

 

[Cruisin]

Oh Florida in July, Mandy, how nice.

It will be very hot but still fun.

Right now other than the tentative cruise planned for next January we don't have any vacations scheduled.

We might have to make a trip to North Carolina this week. There are parts that need to be fixed on our machines (still to due with the power surge). These parts are too big to easily ship, so we may be driving them there, waiting for them to be repaired and then returning.

I haven't decided yet if I will be going but if I don't then Rick has to drive the 11 or so hours there and back alone plus spend the time waiting for the machine to be fixed. Not too much fun for him.

Well guys I've made a start on my trip report, though I have got a while till I get to the really interesting stuff ~ THE CRUISE !!

Anyway, if you're having trouble sleeping, have a read of this http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1332262

 

[Cruisin]

Thanks for starting the trip report Mandy.

I will save it for a little later but I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Great pictures Betsy.

Made me smile the whole time I was sitting there looking at them.

Is there any chance that you could put all of your pictures onto a CD and send them to me? I was also wondering if there is a way to copy any video that you took with your video camers? That would be really neat to see.

If anybody else has any pictures they are willing to copy and send me, I'm willing to do the same for anybody who wants a copy of my pictures.

Just let me know.

 

[mandymouse]

Brilliant photos Betsy, like Robin said, I was smiling while looking through them and remembering some great memories

Mandy

 

[Dalpal]

Thanks guys...

and sure Robin...I'll work on the cd as soon as I can...and Ill ask Mike if there is a way to copy the tape onto DVD. I think we can...

Mandy,
Wait Untill Sept..and we will meet up with you...Thats when we are taking the two eldest of the Grandsons ....OR Go AGAIN in June of 08..Thats when we are taking the DGDs...

They are real cute books..The girls love them...

 

[Dalpal]

Hello-Hope everyone is well It is snowing here today so Stella and Jacob have been playing outside making snowballs. There is not quite enough here to make a snowman. I miss the warm weather.

I haven't talked to Kelly today. I hope she is feeling better.
She went on that ten hour round trip she had mentioned she had to do today. I think she told you guys already. Something to do about a foster parent class?? I am not sure. I usually have to come here to find out where Kelly is

I am going to try and call her again. Her cell isn't picking up for some reason. The weather is pretty bad throughout most of VA so her cell reception may be bad.

Take care,
Paula

Hi all:

Kelly, hope all is well with your trip and that you are soon home safely.

Paula, nice that you have a place to check up on your sister

We went to the "big city" to the casino and had supper at the buffet.

Unfortunately I was having tons of crampy problems and didn't get to enjoy my meal at all

When we got home I thought I felt warm so I took my temperature. almost 101 My student nurse told me to take a tylenol

I don't know if I should go with Rick to North Carolina tomorrow. With the crampy problem and the fever Only thing is, if I don't go he has to drive all that way by himself and stay by himself for a few days, no fun for him

Guess I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Hi Paula

Thanks for reminding me about Kelly's foster class, as I'd completely forgotten about it ~ Kelly, I hope it went well

Robin ~ sorry to hear that you couldn't enjoy you meal when you were out last night, I really hope that the doctors get to see you soon and are able to help you get rid of this feeling

Betsy ~ I love Donny Osmond too, but I love Expedition Everest more

Thanks for taking the time to read my trip report, hopefully I'll add another day or two today

Have a great day everyone

Mandy

 

[disallday!]

Hi all!!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I promise to pop back on in a couple of days to catch up.

I'm sure Paula has passed on some info about why I haven't been on...

Our family, thru Chad's passion of soccer, became good friends with a man who coaches the high and middle school soccer programs, indoor soccer, and the traveling teams. He has been Chad's coach on several teams and he is also a minister at a local church.

Unfortunately, Friday night he lost his son in a horrible car cash that killed 3 other of his son's friends in that vehicle and killed another child who was only 2 years old in another vehicle.

The mom of the 2 year old and a 5th young man involved with the minister's son are expected to recover.

This has really rocked our community, everyone had ties in one way or another with everyone involved. Chad looked up to his coach's son, he was very good in soccer and practiced with the soccer teams, teaching them new things as well. He was a very sweet young man.

Knowing some of these people makes it some emotional, I can't imagine what their family is going thru. I feel so bad for the parents and family members. The parents were actually the first ones on the scene, before the EMTs.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers this week. Thanks.

 

[Dalpal]

Im Sooo SORRY Kelly!...My prayers are with them and all concerned...
