Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[Verandah Man]

Actually it was at 98 weeks out!! I had to go back and edit it because the boards were formatted differently back then (bbCode now, as opposed to HTML back then) so that the "98 weeks to go!!!" would show up properly

Here's that first countdown post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=6585532&postcount=104

And YES, we sure have come a long way baby!!

Yep, I was just having another "senior" moment, LOL!!!

How is everyone...Its been awhile since I have been on here.. Welcome to all the new families and friends..

Sue I am still so sad about your not joining us.. I was so looking forward to hearing you in person.. I am so jealous that I was not there for this past summers MINI MEET..

We have about 2.5 ft of snow here.. made for some tricky driving yesterday. A bit more is expected today. My little dog is laying here on the chair with her COAT still on... ( she is a SHIS TZU).

No JEWELRY shows today .. so its a quite day to relax. My mom has TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT tomorrow at 730 am... Makes for a long day .. Talk about having knee pains ANDY....

Have a great day everyone.. Need to read the paper and perhaps get my CHRISTMAS CARDS made out.. Take care

We only had a trace of sn*w overnight, most of that is gone now as the sn*w changed over to a light misty rain.

I'm busy folding Christmas cards and getting them in their envelopes. We have a very busy weekend coming up this week (Christmas Production at church 5 shows and Hazel and I will be working the ticket table), so I HAVE to get these cards done today. Hopefully, I will have them all out in Monday's mail!!!

OK, it's back to the cards for me, my break time is over.

Doreen: Wow, 2.5 feet already? YIKES! You have my condolences!!
We woke up to about 2.5 INCHES of snow, and that's bad enough. lol I hope your mom's surgery goes well tomorrow. Please tell Karen I said HELLO

 

[Verandah Man]

We are expecting more of the winter white stuff (2" to 4") Monday night into Tuesday morning. OK, I say that's enough of this stuff for the winter, LOL!!! Wouldn't that be nice if it were true? Thinking about the cruise next August will help get me through these next few months!!!

Yay, all of our Christmas cards are finished and will be going out in Monday's mail. Angelina's old printer did the trick, and it even had enough ink left in it to get me through. I still have to get myself a new printer, but at least I can take my time and see what kind of deal I can find, or, maybe Santa will have one under our tree this year!!!

We got about an inch or so here...yuck! Also expecting more on Tuesday.

I was reading a Magic trip report from oybolshoi 10/15-10/22, I'd give you the link but I'm just not computer savy. Anyway, if you haven't read it yet, it's pretty entertaining. One thing she talks about is a game of tag the Dis'ers played on board. It sounds fun, I guess the gist is that you get a list of participating disers & you tag the one below you on the list. Everyone gets a magnet, & you attach something small to the stateroom door (preferrably a little token that represents the area you are from) & then you wait to be tagged. Once you are tagged you can tag again & it goes from there. Anyone interested? Let me know & I don't mind organizing it.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hello All !
Here is a picture of the newest member of our family. His name is Dante. He is just the sweetest little puppy and we love him so much. He is getting me on his schedule. Right now he is taking his nap so I can play on the computer.

Haven't really been on the boards lately, hope all is well with everyone. I try to get all the Holiday stuff done early so I can enjoy it. I am almost done.

It is reaaly cold here and just wish the S*ow would go away. Tina

 

[Verandah Man]

Well at least I don't see any bows on Dante's head yet, LOL!!!

He sure is a cutie though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy: Give me time I think this ia a 2 person job. I will try when kids come home from school. You just might change your mind when you see him with the bow. uhh maybe not. Took him to the vets this morning and the poor thing only weighs 3.1 lbs. Perfect health.

Terry: We had a blast playing Tag your it on last year's cruise, just ask Linda or Maureen. This is how we played it. We only had a list of deck numbers not cabin numbers. lol I copied this from site from last year.

This is how we play "Tag your it" I will be bringing a lime green mickey mouse head. I will start by finding someone's cabin and place the mickey head on there door. I will write there screen name on it. Hence the name tag your it. If you have been tagged then you or your child must find another cabin off of the list and put it on there door, write there screen name on it. This goes on and on till end of cruise. Last person with it keeps it for a souvenir. See how many times you get tagged. I think the kids will have fun with it. Maybe even some adults. I hope this makes sense.

The sn*w is falling here in South Jersey and the ground is already covered. It looks very pretty outside, at least I don't have to go anywhere tonight. Can stay in the comfort of my living room and watch the Eagles game on Monday Night Football. Reggie White's football number will be retired during halftime tonight. Reggie used to attend our church when he lived in the Philly area. It's such a shame he died so young.

 

[Verandah Man]

We finished up with about 4" of that white stuff that fell from the sky last night. Now, it's time to go clean off the car so I can get Angelina to school and myself to work.

Have a happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Hi All,

I just received a phone call from Bev. She was calling from the DCL Terminal and said she had boarding pass group #2 and was really excited that she was going to be boarding the ship very soon. Bev said to tell everyone she said hello!!! Bev was also acting a bit goofy on the phone, and she couldn't stop laughing because of the sn*w and ice we are expecting on Friday. Bev and Lindsay have an early flight home on Monday morning. Bev said the weather was rainy, which I saw on the webcam. I went to capture a photo of the Wonder, but the cam was not facing the Wonder this morning.

Have a WONDERful cruise Bev and Lindsay!!!

 

[SeaSpray]

Bev & Lindsay, Have a WONDERFUL cruise!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up at 5am to the sound of sleet hitting our bedroom window. I looked out the window and our street is covered with sleet . I walked outside to let Midnight out and my right knee buckled underneath of me.

Yep, I will be calling work and taking a vacation day today.

To all who are have bad weather today, stay safe and warm!!!!!
