Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

@NFLDERS good luck to Shayne in the election! Marketing is a huge factor in elections, even if he doesn't win he's clever to have sussed that out! While my recollections of high school have faded I remember one candidate who ran on a platform of getting the school fountains to flow with beer. She won and later in life became a judge!

Thanks Micca.

Oh my! DH just told me the election is for 2018-19 Student Council Grade 7!!

I'm about 40 minutes the other way, and I think you are right! We went to a birthday party yesterday, and it was nice to be outside. I have two daffodils, but no tulips yet.

Same here. Niagara Falls' usual floral display is behind on any bloom.

Slightly TMI Hon, but I’m wishing you good luck in the shorts department and that there are many long, sunny days to come!

Thanks Ronandannette. I'm wearing capris today......little worried about a coupe of my shorts as it was a very long winter and early spring of sitting around waiting to wear shorts. The waiting might have involved wayyy more food and a couple of extra rum and cokes than planned!!!

Good luck Jane on Shayne!!

Good luck to Shayne! I hope he wins!!! Keep us posted, please.

Got mine on...just!

I soooo know what you mean by the word "just".

I am not a shorts-wearing person. On principle I refuse to put on any piece of clothing that's wider than it is long...

Kitty, I meant to tell you I registered for the Elkmont synchronous firefly lottery (Great Smoky Mtns) this year. We should hear a yes or no on May 9th. Fingers crossed it's a yes!!! If we get to go (event is in mid June), I'll try to get pics or video to post here.

 

[NFLDERS]

He won! and, will be on his elementary school's student council next year.

That's all I know for now albeit, lots of excitement at his house.

Edited: DH told me during our coffee break this morning that Dgs said he has his first meeting tomorrow.

Sorry about that. I wonder if anything at all shows up on Canadian Youtube about the Elkmont Synchronous Firefly event? It's an annual thing and has become so popular that they've had to implement a lottery ticket system. That part of the park was getting too much traffic during firefly week. People who are lucky enough to book a campsite at the Elkmont campground get to see the show without entering the lottery. Last year about 18,000 people entered the lottery and only 1800 tickets were given out. My chances are not good, but you can't win if you don't try.

That sounds amazing! I'm going to try to view it somewhere.

Enjoyed a 2 night, 3 day break.



What have you been up to?

 

[Micca]

Wow I've missed some posts. DW & I took DGDs to WDW for a few days, had a blast of course. Great news about Shayne, sounds like he's a born leader! Where's that pool Jane? Our neighborhood pool will be opening in about 10 days and the DGDs will be ready to make the most of it. Twilight what happened with the fireflies, any news?

DW has been traveling for biz and is having some bronchial issues--fingers crossed it's not pneumonia. She has a long history of upper respiratory problems but has been doing much better for the past few years. She just got it from the airport and has a doc appointment tomorrow. Hoping it's just an anitbiotic/rest situation.

Sadly, we received the "we regret to inform you . . . " email from the firefly lottery. We'll just have to try again next year.

Jane, where did you go? Looks heavenly. This is the first time I've sat down all day and look at the time! Life is crazy here lately. Busy, busy, busy. Hope it settles down a bit soon. A nice relaxing getaway would be the best!

Micca, WDW with the fam! How fun!!! Glad to hear you guys had a good trip. Hope your wife feels much better very soon. Fingers crossed it's something easily kicked.

Now, off to catch up on my other alerts so I can finally get to bed. Hope you all are having a great week!
