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

[Ct_TiggerFan]

When I leave to go to work on these cold mornings, I look like an Eskimo walking out the front door, LOL!!! Yes, I am dressed in many layers as well!!! We had another light dusting of snow this evening, and another very day is in store for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.............and so on, and so on, and so on.......

Better to look like on Eskimo, then to be an Eskimo pie or



to Hazel. May it be fun filled.

WOW a blast from the past .. GINNY as we live and breathe.... I have made several scarves now.. And I just signed up for a 6 week knitting class.. (Maybe I can come up with a ICE HIDING BAG)

BOB-BOB (belated) of course.. i hope it was a great one.. Hazel and everyone else that is celebrating this week.. ENJOY!!

TINA.. we had school all week and on time. The field trip was cancelled however until the 31st. See you than. BIG RED BOAT.. AUG 1986... small cabin.. cabin was on Resturant level...

We got snow. but nothing like it was predicted.... They were saying 5-7/ 5-12.. we got total maybe 8inches over the past week. Today we have bright blue skies. YIPPIEE

ED I am sorry to miss you on the storm.. forgive me.. have a drink to make it up

TERRY I think you sound better for changing the cruise plans. The boys are old enough "NOT" to get into trouble while you and BOB-John have dinner.

I have to tell you on the next page about the POST CARD.....

Mary: I was doing a search for Xcaret Excursions and to my surprise I saw your question on it. Well I did find alot of good reviews on cruise critic. I also found the website. Just wanted to share with you. It looks like a really neat place. http://www.xcaretcancun.com. It does seems like it would be a all day thing.I need to make sure I have time to pick up my Kahlua and vanilla. Tina

Ok I need help here..Karen is on the phone with me.. and needs something from DCL TRESURE KETCH... Is anyone going on the cruise soon?? Ginny and Darlene your on the REPO cruise? can you help us??

ok now to the post card!!! ANDY.. my father is a stitch. he left for the month of FEBRUARY prior to receiving my postcard from the FAKE cruise....
When he got his mail from the post office on MONDAY he is reading through all the junk mail and then he comes across this post card dated from JANUARY with a FLORIDA post mark. Mind you he just saw KAREN and empathized with her for her pain she is still in... he thought how did we pull off a cruise when she just had surgery.. and then my plane ride home was delayed by 2 days.. it worked out GREAT>> WE got him.. My dad is a tough one to get a joke over on.. ^5 ANDY. thanks for your help... I fianally had to tell him a friend from our cruise sent it to his mother and she sent it from FLORIDA... he said now DOREEN even a " rocket scientist" couldnt come up with that idea.. so I told Karen WAHOO our father called us rocket scientist.... Of course our dad would't give us that much credit again.. i had to expain to him since we were part of HURRICANE FRANCES I never got to mail alot of my post cards so i had them left over..lol
I think he is stil confused over if we went or not..

Thanks again ANDY and ANDY's mom.....

Doreen: Aw March 31st I have an appt. then off to airport to pick up my Mom. This is no joke........I leave April 1st out of Rochester for Las Vegas.I might have sent you the snow. I was outside and it was windy. I did sneeze and it was a big one. Sorry. That was funny about post card........

 

[Reenieny18]

Ginny or Tina.. Karen needs a "SHIP CHARM" from Treasure Ketch.. and she can not get it from her CONNECTIONS down there.. She said she will call who ever will be there first and send you a check to pay for it before you go and you can send it to her.. PM with a phone number and KAREN can call you.. and the two of you can make the arrange ments..
Tina,, that was a big sneeze than.. WOW
By the way .. when is the REPO cruise???

Hi friends,

Not doing too good. Just got back from spending the last 5 1/2 hours at the ER with my mom. She passed out in the house before I left for class and I called 911 to take her to the hospital. They are admitting her for tests etc but there aren't any rooms yet. I left because they said it might take a few hours until they move her into the room. I came home so she could rest and I'm exhausted.

Thanks for listening or should I say "reading".

P.S. Tomorrow is her 87th birthday.

Bev

Bev,

You and your mom will be in our thoughts and prayers, keep us posted, and get some much needed rest!!!

 

[zack&alexmom]

Bev - I am sorry to hear about your Mom. Please keep us updated on how she is. We will keep her in our thoughts & prayers.

Doreen - I leave out of Syracuse at 7:00am on Saturday morning. We were going with a group of people so we booked thru Carnival with the group. It killed me because I know I paid too much for the air. We will need to be at the airport by 5:30am As you can tell by the time of my posts - I am a night person - getting up at 3:30 is going to kill me(we live about 1/2 from airport).

I am almost packed but I think that I need to take it all out and start again. The suitcases are just too stuffed and I don't want to take another suitcase.

Off to bed. If I don't talk to everybody, have a great week.

Linda

Bev... sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like she had a near syncopal episode.. I am sure they will put her on a Telemetry unit and monitor her heart for any A fib or V fib.. and maybe send her home with a heart monitor for 24 hrs to monitor it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and rest for you as well.

Linda I live 2 miles from the airport..by the WEGMANS on TAFT road. I will wave to you as you pass by... But dont wake me up with the noise. I hope you have a grand time. Where will you be sailing to... and can I stow away.. I have an expandable suitcase that I can really try to "STUFF" even more... Hey your kids had 2hr delay today too.. I bet that really added to your stress as well.. How old are your kids.. Any one in 6th and maybe 3 or 4th?? grade by chance? I am wondering if My ex sister in law's children are in with your kids??

Ginny.. I will let Karen know... And are you sure you want to trust her,,lol I am still waiting for her to pay me back for the CRUISE. just kidding KAREN>lol

TERRY... in one of my knitting magazine.. I found one of those DAYLIGHT LIGHTs for $40 or so.. I think I am going to order it.. I helps the whole room look like day time as well as help with knitting and crochet... usually they are about $150... It helps with SAD as well.

Marty got my cold.. so he is sitting here saying I am really cold and tired.. I told him I know..I know I just gave you your pain meds and BENADRYL.. thats one way to get him to stop WHINING about being sick..

No snow here today.. Stay warm everyone... And where is JOANNA now?? did she go away? We have CARMEN,, now JOANNA is gone.. come out come out where ever you are....

Doreen

Bev, sorry to hear about your mom. Keeping you and her in our thoughts and prayers.

Linda, maybe you need to get some rollup space bags. Have a fun trip.

For all us snow bound folks. Sounds like the weekend will be cold but snow free. , but possible something on monday or tuesday of next week. We can hope for only a dusting.

Tina, I guess next time you need a larger hankie for that sneeze

Andy, keep bundled up, brrrrr I know its cold out there.

to all my new found friends.

 

[Reenieny18]

Andy how was the Birthday celebration.... Whose Bithday is next on our LIST???
