ABCs of Trip Reporting, Pt. 2-Life Can Be Crappy and Then You Move On (3/7)

Aw, have a Happy, blessed Easter too Liesa!:goodvibes

Thanks, Molly!! So far, it's been really wonderful catching up with family after a long winter!

Safe Travels and have fun. Happy Easter!!!!

Other than a nightmare commute, it's been great!! Lots of smiles and laughs!

Happy Easter to all !!!!!

Love you, Rosie!! Celebrate well!

Hoope you and the family have a blessed Easter, Liesa.

Thanks, Kathy!!! Lots to be thankful for this year!!
 
My DH is Ethiopian...he was born here, so he doesn't speak Amharic fluently, but of course he knows it a bit, so I've picked up a (very) few words. I can ask for my kitfo "a little bit seared," which comes in handy if you're not sure you should trust a restaurant's raw meat!

The night after our wedding, we got to have a whole other Ethiopian wedding, which was pretty cool!

Happy Easter, everybody!

Absolutely fascinating!!! I'll bet your Ethiopian wedding was amazing! Pictures??? Pwetty pweeze!

YUM!! Injeira! Wish I could find teff around here!

Happy Easter Liesa!!

And I hadn't posted an answer yet, I specifically just logged on now afraid that I might have missed it, but here is my D guess:

Happy Easter to you too!!

Nope, not too late- you did well! :thumbsup2

Have a Happy Easter!

Thanks, Kathy and Marv!!! I hope your day is blessed in every way, as well! Enjoy!!
 
Nice job Camille! And Tammie couldn't even bring Margarita cupcakes......

You know....Tammie may not have brought us cupcakes, buuuuuut! She did bring a lot of other really nice treats! She brought us a couple of beautiful bottles of Oregon wine, cheeses, slami, fruit, crackers and another big container of....oh yeah we aren't at that point in the meet yet. :rolleyes1
We've all wondered that at one time or another
Wow! My first Marv zing!
Too funny! Good thing she didn't try to greet anyone while she was in there! :eek:

I'm just praising all that is holy she didn't! Imagine explaining it to her husband upon meeting him for the first time.....at the Oregon city jail! :rotfl:

Then why did you say it???

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you! :laughing:

I'm not sayin a word! :laughing:[/COLOR]

With you ladies I was thinking more Bo Derek on the beach in "10!" :)

Oh Marv! :blush:

Rambunctious!!! After some of the texts I got, I'm not surprised she acted like this!!!

Hey now! Y'all are painting a picture of me like I'm a maniac or something, I'm a good girl, I am! <said in her best Liza Doolittle voice>

Mousaka! Say it again! (hyenas laughing in the background!) Moouuuusaka!!!

It's funny you say this, it's exactly what we did at the table, when Tammie would call it Mufasa we said this same thing. :goodvibes

Thanks Marv! We can always count on your honesty!;)
I didn't even catch that Camille was "checking the guy out." :rotfl2:

Oh thanks Marv! See what you started. :goodvibes

I figured that since nobody knew what I looked like, I'd better make it easy for everyone...Mickey Dooney purse, Disneyland jacket, and Pirates of the Caribbean t-shirt. That's not Disney overkill, is it?

Is there any such thing?!? :confused3 I'm just sayin.

I, too, had a wonderful time and it was a real pleasure to meet everyone!

Ditto Jen!

Yep, she showed us this trick...we were all a little wary as we're staring at the glass...whispering to each other..."it's not going to explode, is it?" :rotfl:

I know! :rotfl: We kept looking at one another....:confused3

No kidding...although wouldn't that have been a very interesting ending (HAH!) to the evening! (I thought about putting the dancing banana smilie here...)

:eek: Jen! :rotfl:


My photos of the night...apparently I was having too much fun and didn't take many!

Tate2-1.jpg

But I did get one of Tate! Notice that he's already drunk an entire Ouzo as well as starting to eat our appetizer! Definitely a party animal...

And no photos of the actual event, but I never realized how fast I could move in response to Liesa's attempt to baptise me as soon as we sat down at the table. :laughing:

Tate fell off the wagon that night, he had a glass of wine before we left the house AND Ouzo! The little lush! :drinking1
I was just impressed by the quick reflexes! She has "the reflexes of a cat and the speed of a......" I'm sure all the guys will be able to finish this quote! :laughing:


I forgot about the baptizing! You were probably hiding your camera!:rotfl: Great pic of Tate the party animal!

Camille looks so cute - you can see me pretending I don't need glasses

Awwww Tammie. :hug: Thank you, your pretty darn cute yourself!! :lovestruc

My answer is: Down Town Disney DTD, and I think it's close to Disney Quest.
 
Thanks to everyone for their warm Easter wishes!! Our family had a wonderful time celebrating and rejoicing with extended family in Olympia, WA, enjoying 1 day of sunshine (will it EVER really be summer here??). Camille's confetti eggs made for some great chasing games, and the food and fellowship were excellent. The first rhubarb of the year is always a fun addition to any springtime celebration. YUM!


As promised, I want to move along with our game. Everyone who put an answer in was right- D's picture was taken at Downtown Disney, and nearby can be found: DisneyQuest and Design-a-Tee, and a few other D words that I allowed as well, like "Dinosaurs". So, add 2 more to your score, if you put in a guess, and I'll post official scores next round.


Now, onto Letter E, and that should catch us up to the Letter of Update we are on, even if only briefly.





Here is one that shouldn't give ANYONE ANY problem whatsoever. Go ahead and just go for the obvious here. ;) HOWEVER, DO REMEMBER... You need to submit a 2nd word of an actual place/establishment that CAN be found nearby where this picture was taken this round. BOTH answers must begin with E, and can be more than one word, but must BEGIN with E.

Questions can be PMd to me. In fact, let's go with a PM round this time.


Good luck, All!! And look for an "F" Update very soon. :goodvibes


 
Glad you and the family had a great Easter, Liesa. I have submitted my PM with my response. :goodvibes

Thanks, Kathy!! Got your guess!! I have a bit of a surprise coming up soon in the game- so glad you're playing... :rolleyes1:goodvibes
 
Hi Liesa, Just sent you a PM for my guess!! I am so glad you had a great time with family for Easter!! I am with you on needing some better weather. I am hoping for some sun and warm temps soon!!! Don't really want to wait until July 5th :scared1::scared1: for our warm weather to start!!!!!! So tired of this Oregon weather :sad2::sad2:
