Exactly! Thank YOU!
Thanks! You are the best! (I can bring the rum...and CAKE!)
Chrissie
Just the rum will do!


That's about what I said. Oh, and a Cleveland wedding with no polka! {gasp!} BTW 14 years later and we still hear from both our friends and our parents friends what a fun reception we had.
People still talk about our wedding 20 years later! They tell us they've never been to a more exciting one!![]()
Well, it was 1994 so I do have to admit to the Electric Slide.
OKs I'm off to nap.
See ya in chat!

Good luck tonight!

Yummo! Haven't been there in a long while! Enjoy!
Totally off topic (IF there is a "topic" here)
Here are some photos from our Plant Sale. This has totally eaten my life for the last week. About 3/4 of all the plants are staged at my house before the sale. We had a "pre-sale" for the club members on Thursday night and moved ALL the plants on Friday night to the sale tent and then spent ALL day Saturday at the sale. DH & I (with some help from my parents and a coupel other club members) sort/organize/label/price all the plants. We put up a couple pop-up greenhouses in our backyard which have had small plants for the last month or so. The bigger stuff starts coming about 2 weeks before and we SAY it all has to be here 1 week before the sale (but people still drop off some mid-week!)
The last two photos were taken around 9am - they give you an idea of how big the crowd is. Our sale has gained a reputation over the last 10 years and people are coming from quite a ways away.

Wow that is quite the spread!

Nationals is over with for Lisa and although she had a lot of fun, met many new friends, and received lots of "free" merchandise, she also got a lesson between being good and being great. Some of those girls were AMAZING! The girl that won the JR A Division was from Region 1 and trains at an Olympic Training Facility in California. (People who knew her said she is home schooled and trains at least 8 hours per day. Lisa's 4 hours per day seems "light" compared to that - but she is in public school and that is all of the time she has available to train)
It was interesting how until the individual awards were presented how little emphisis was put on the individual as oppossed to the Regional Team they represented. When they did the March In, they came in under the banner of their Region and were introduced simply as the Team representing the following states (There are eight Regions in the US). All of the Coachs were dressed in apparel designating their Region and the girls leos were identical from GK with only the sleeve color (Lisa's Region was a greenish blue and very pretty) designating which region they represented. Each Regional Group showed a lot of support for their teammates, even though I am sure most of these girls competed against each other many times through out the season.
It was also interested to see how many college coaches were at the event. They had all of the tables / desks in the front of the arena blocked off for them and you needed credentials to get into that area. Also the center section of the Arena was blocked off for the overflow of Recruiters. Lisa's Coach pointed out the Recruiter from Michigan (which is where Lisa wants to go).
During the warm up, the girls who are in High School wore their competition numbers as well as a colored sticker indicating their year of graduation. Lisa isn't in High School yet, so she didn't wear her number until the day she competed.
I know Lisa was inspired to work on new and more difficult skills for next year in the hopes she can fare better next year. We are very proud of how hard she has worked and how much she has been able to accomplish this year.
I bet you are proud! That is quite an accomplishment!

My kids still love to go there....but we told them that it's only a place to take people from out-of-town. We might give in and go there on a birthday (no worse than Chuckee Cheese!). It probably hasn't changed a bit since you were there. Same cliff, same cheesy western show, same cliff diving show, and same man in a gorilla suit running around the place. The food on the other hand is horrible with one exception -- sopapillas!!
Yes, what ever happened to those $5 port fees. We paid in full in early March to save that $75 charge ($5 per port per person x 3 ports x 5 of us), but it sounds like no one got hit with it.
I don't know, but I just paid a week ago & there was no additional charge.![]()
Where are you now? You wouldn't want to live down the street from Casa Bonita anymore!You're right that it can hit 100 here and with the low humidity, you can just step in the shade and it's significantly cooler. Only downside is that swimming outside is usually freezing to me even in July...that's why I enjoy our trips to Florida and DCL!
It's in the upper 80's here today and we have the house open and it's quite cool inside as long as we can keep a breeze. The winter's aren't really that bad compared to where I'm from (Kansas City) as it's usually a lot sunnier and it rarely stays below freezing all day long. It will usually warm up to the upper 30's or low 40's and if not, it will the next day. When it's sunny and 40 in January, you don't even need a coat. Some of my wife's family even wear shorts throughout winter. It's not uncommon to see someone shoveling snow in their shorts. The dry climate can be tough on your skin when you're used to humidity, but it sure makes being outdoors nicer year round.
Tell me what you want and I will tell you mine.![]()

No not Chicago, I don't think I will ever get used to these critters.
I sure could get used to the weather though!
When you find her could you send her my way?![]()
I thought you could just refresh?![]()
I guess some people were getting a message that they weren't paid in full until they logged out & back in again!
