An Ohana Reunion...The Waterless Cruise...

[allshookup]

Just thought I'd post some pictures of our view - things are much better today than yesterday.

Here was my view at 8:45 am. The sky was unbelievably orange:

The the view from my back yard at 12 noon: You can see the difference in the sky - the cloudy part was what we had but more grey yesterday all day.

This was the center of my pool:

The ground as I walked out this morning:

And the hood of my car:

Oh wow I can't believe how much debris you are getting from the fires! Stay safe Laura!

That's pretty much what it looks like here too (since we only live a couple of miles apart .. obviously )

We were notified today that Tori's teacher is indeed evactuated. We are praying that her home is spared. The fires seem to be calming down in the area.

Going to church this morning..only about 5 miles from here (closer to the fires)..you would have thought it was snowing...people were wearing masks to cover their mouths and nose. I have a friend who lives about 3 miles from the fire..this afternoon there were entire burnt leaves floating down on their house ..and the leaves were still hot...

My sister was here this weekend visiting and goes home tomorrow..she has to take a freeway that is currently closed so we are re-mapping her route. Our home is not in danger in any way but just having difficulty with air quality. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers!

Just tell them there is going to be a hockey game at WDW.

That might get M and her fam there, also!

I hope her trip home is safe and uneventful!

Hey Kids!

Glad to hear that everyone in CA is safe. My heart just goes on to those who have lost their homes. Keeping everyone out that way in my thoughts.

Not much here. That evil S word is here! YUCK! Our wonderful county said they will only be salting the highways, no main trunk lines, cause the state isn't paying them!

Kaitlin had band practice Sat with all the other 5th and 6th graders who are marching in the Christmas parade next Sat. They say it is going to be cold and S! They sounded pretty good--first time together. They are going to play Let's Go Blue! (HS colors), Jingle Bells and Jingle Bell Rock. Kaitlin says it is hard to play and march at the same time!

Plus she is singing before the parade and we will have to hot foot it down to the band staging area.

Miss you guys!

We will be thinking of her! I am sure it will go great!

Thanks! Things usually go off without a hitch! Between the choir director and the instrumental music teacher, they are amazing! The kids really sounded great. I just get to listen to Kailin's part, so it was nice to hear it all together.

Here in Michigan there is just no happy medium with the weather. The 2 parades are 4th of July and Christmas the Sat before Thanksgiving. Sweating or shivering! I guess I should go look for some long johns!

It sounds like fun -- except for the snow! LOL! I'm sure Kaitlin will do great & have fun! I am sure it is difficult to march & play at the same time!

Add our family to the "hopeful" list. I talked to the DM who hired me. I should be able to take a week off unpaid (since I'll just be starting out in my full time position and won't have enough vacation time accrued by that point.) We just have to look into it a little bit more and get a final answer before I borrow points to book, just in case I'm not allowed to go then.

If we do go, we'd love to do the Illuminations dinner and dessert Grand Gathering.

We'd defintely be interested in dinner at "Ohana. Once, we had a group dinner (about 30 people) at 'Ohana, which was fantastic. When it was over, we picked up some wine coolers in the Poly gift shop, and headed down to the beach to watch Wishes. They played the music there, and we got to see the fireworks from a different perspective.

The boys and I are booked August 19 - 29 at the Dolphin.
I'm definately interested in the grand gathering.

Yeah, Lisa!! I only got to talk to you for like 2 seconds on the cruise. I hope to get a chance to chat with you this time.

Anyways, if you would keep everyone in your thoughts, I would appreciate it.

I have been thinking about you guys and am glad to hear you are OK. I'm so sad for poeple that have lost their homes. I can't even imagine. They seem to get worse every year, it is so sad.

Just thought I'd post some pictures of our view - things are much better today than yesterday.

Unbelievable, Laura. That can't be good for your lungs. Stay Safe!!

Yeah, Mike & Family. I hope everything works out that you can make it in August.

Yes, we will definately have to coordinate dinner with having refreshments on the beach while watching Wishes

:

You know, it's funny, when I think about the PC cruise, you always stand out as the person that I missed talking to. I always picture you, in what ever bar we were in when we shook hands, & I think how did we miss connecting over the rest of the cruise.

So, we definately will chat in August.

miss everyone... my computers (both) are still broken... I'm lurking at work & sneaking a few posts.

You'll have a great time hanging out with Lisa! She's FUN!
