Last month we purchased a new refrigerator using our local Sears. they had one of those 90 no interest deals. Very nice stainless steel model, ran us about $2,000 bucks after tax etc.

Anyway, got the bill yesterday and if I only pay the minimum payment of $17 bucks, I will pay it off in.......drumroll please......

Here is the info...
• Five years after starting its airport shuttle-and-luggage service, Walt Disney World has finally signed up Southwest Airlines, the busiest carrier at Orlando International Airport. The Daily Disney Blog has the story.

By the middle of next month, Disney says, nearly all of its hotel guests flying home on Southwest will be able to check in for their flights and drop off their bags before leaving the resort. The remote check-in service is a key component of Disney’s Magical Express, which also includes free bus transportation between Orlando International and Disney’s on-property hotels.

... only two hotels will not be included: the 761-room Disney’s Old Key West Resort and the 2,112-room Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. Disney says it is in the midst of expanding the luggage drop-off facilities at Old Key West and that it is considering similar changes at Caribbean Beach.

Hi Groupies
This business with the bushes is a hoot! Let's hope there's a positive effect on our maintenance fees.

Now about those mints...Dad says there are plenty to go around. However color could potentially be troublesome. Only purple is left.... and son's wedding is red. Would hate for someone to mistake the wedding for the Red Hat Society.

Sorry for the disappointing news, Inkmahm. Chocolate is as good of comfort food as any, I guess. Though personally I prefer mashed potatoes.

Great news for those of you traveling Southwest. It sure makes check-in easy to do it at the resort.

I'm continuing to work at my Lodge-inspired room. We just ordered red plaid carpet. Dad and I painted the primer coat today - sage. I'd like to stencil the dancing moose in inconspicuous places around the room. Anyone know how to get the images? Any thought or ideas would be helpful.

Wishing one and all a very Happy Easter!

BTW, as always, Love your graphics, Maria!

I'd love to see pictures!!!!!! Sorry I can't help with the stencils though.

Hey history buffs!!!! Got a question for you. Why does the fife and drum corp at the American Pavillion wear red and not blue?

Howdy Groupies!

Just left Orlando this afternoon and making the long drive back to Texas. We are going through to see family for Easter before we get home so it will be a few days before I really have time to post much. I survived the camping thanks to my wonderful DH who made me coffee every morning and did most of the cooking and dishes to make it more enjoyable for me.

We made two visits to our beloved lodge to shop, eat, and soak it all in. Two words: beautiful and relaxing (ok three words). I saw the bunny and he sent his best wishes.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. It is special time for me as I celebrate the resurrection! And I do need some chocolate after reading back. Sorry to horselover and inkmahm.

I know there are others I wanted to comment to, but it's been 24 hours since I read the posts. That is why they call me Dory after all..... I'm not even sure what I just said

WL bushes? And I thought I was roughing it in a tent!

Hey history buffs!!!! Got a question for you. Why does the fife and drum corp at the American Pavillion wear red and not blue?

I'm hazarding a guess here.

It may be that they are patterned after the "Old Guard". That's the fife and drum corp that is part of the Presidential Army guard. the official name is the 3d United State Infrantry Regiment. Their uniforms and instruments are based on the uniforms worn by the continential army

The Marines also have a unit called the "Commandant's own" that wears traditional red.

If you are ever in the Washington DC area during the summer you can see both the Marine drum and buglel corp and the Marines silent drill team perform at the Marine Baracks. Great show.

Thanks Eliza! I had never really given it much thought until DD said something about it. She was wondering why they were wearing British uniforms. I wonder how many other people think this.

Happy Easter Groupies! Hope you have a wonderful day with family if they're near by.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Back to the chocolate....

Too funny! Quick reminder here - "HIS..NAME...IS...NEMO!!!"

Christ is risen - Happy Easter all!

Today was the first time the Praise Team group I play drums in performed on Easter; it was cool. Also the first time my in-laws were visiting (from IL) and heard me play. {For the last 8+ years they went more traditional for Easter and had the Chancel Choir perform at both services}

I definitely missed something on the bushes talk; if I get a chance later I might try and go back some posts to try and figure out what's up. Unless of course someone feels up to posting a quick summery so I could be lazy...

Happy Easter Everyone! We had a good peaceful Easter here. This E. Bunny stuff has to stop soon though. I'm done with staying up with a kiddo until midnight and then letting the bunny in to do her stuff.

Well, if any thread can appreciate the finer points of family life I'm assuming it's my friends here. Let me preface this by saying: Take note, when your 12yo son comes to you and says "Ma, I learned that when I see 1/2 of a log floating ..." you should RUN for the bathroom at full speed, boots, bucket, and preferably a wet vac in hand. Do not wait for the rest of his statement if you care that the rest of the house does not partake in his discovery.

Chilling out now.... maybe I'll pull up adobe and learn how to use it properly.

I was the first night time fireworks shown at Hollywood Studios waay back when it was called "Disney-MGM studios". I had a fantastic 55 foot inflatable Mickey Mouse with fireworks shooting out of fingers.

Who am I and when was I running?
