Beautiful photographs. I especially love the ones of the road. So peaceful. Have you ever had any published for pay? I say you start submitting and make some $$$!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I've done photos for friends...

Weddings, bands, portraits, stuff like that.

I've even sold a couple framed ones.

oh yeah...and I've been entered in two local art shows.

Speaking of publishing, how's your writing coming?

Speaking of publishing, how's your writing coming?

Does that answer your question?

I've been MEANING to click on "word processor", but, well, I haven't, as yet. These days, I've been keeping busy in other ways, and I still have my little "job" of driving 3 kids to school and back, which is no effort since I have to take Jesse anyway, and it brings me $110 a week. But after June 28th, I'll be officially without any source of personal income whatsoever! Woo hoo!

I was thinking, would you choose to do another DCL cruise, or spend the money on a Wyoming Adventures by Disney trip? Those adventures look very tempting. I love that part of the country. Any advice? I'm thinking 2 years ahead. I think I'm becomming obsessed.

Rose has me going to Cali next year with the girls...

I'd have to choose DCL only because with my rediculous allergies I can't do outdoor stuff like that anymore.

Rose's idea for next summer is to fly into Vegas and drive out to cali and up the coast stopping and staying and some of her timeshares along the way.

We will go to Universal in Hollywood and Disneyland on our travels.

Maybe we should all meet at Disneyland next year!!!!!!!!

ok, we'll be here come visit. I keep hoping we'll have a beachie house for you to visit by then. Did I tell you those darn house stealers closed on my house on my birthday. Can ya tell I'm mad still.....

nice shots tigg. I liked the road ones too. Funny to see daffodils this late, they are so gone from here. seeing them so late else where makes me really understand how nice the weather is in California. of course this year has been so darn wet, have you seen the news reports about the houses falling off the hills and Devil's Slide highway 1 that's closed is just a town North of half moon bay

i'm going to look at the photo contest

see ya later

p.s. we are going to Dland for sure, we are leaving Monday staying Tuesday-Friday night at the Dland Hotel Paul agreed to go if he could sit in our hotel room and work on his laptop (duh, of course I'll agree to that, because I know he'll come and visit us some of the time in the park)

Hi everyone I'm still lurking Thanks for the photo comments i was inspired by Grim and having taken all those pics it seemed a good way to show somw of them off i know I can't compete with grim or tig mine are just snaps but I love taking them and posting.


Well I've booked a Med cruise for 28th July would be great to sail with some of you again.
Grim and Minniesgal just imagine a bi lingual baby

Hope you are all well have a great Easter

Hi All!

Good to see you, Lynn! I would love to go on the Med Cruise, but methinks it won't happen. New house + new baby definitely does not equal money for a cruise, but I'll definitely be dreaming of you sailing through the Mediterranean!


Ok, Nan, now I'm jealous! We were supposed to be going to Dland in May, but it doesn't look like its going to happen now. Major work on my car....major taxes to pay, and new house to furnish..... Oh well, you can say hi to Mickey for us! Tell him we'll be back in about 5 years! lol

Tig, the photos are great! I, too, like the two of the road. They really jumped out at me. They remind me of the view from Grim's Jeep when we took a trip through Sedona and up to the Grand Canyon when we first met.

So tomorrow is "Gender Day"! Anyone care to make a last minute guess? I know Tig thinks "boy" and so does Grim. I really have absolutely no clue, but will be thrilled with either. We will definitely let you know what we find out!

Hi Aisling! Hi Jill! Hi Anyone else lurking/looking!

Bye for now
Dede

ok to OPENING DAY SF GIANTS!!!!

OKay, I know I did..but here are some pictures from the nosebleed seats we had at the very last row in the stadium.

The game was awesome.

 

[nskjerven]

oh yeah, I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow did I mention that????

Dede/John, a healthy, happy baby, boy or girl either one, no bets from me.

I'll log on from the Land and say HI!!!!

N

 

[Aisling]

Nan, have fun in DL!!!!!!!!

I cannot wait to hear the news, Dede!

 

[minniegrl]

ITS A GIRL!!!

 

[Aisling]

OMG! I am SOOOOOOOOO happy for you! A little princess! What a blessing! Best best best of everything for your family! I'm going to call Chad at work to tell him, he'll be so happy for you!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

ITS A GIRL!!!

Yay! Another Princess!

I'll tell Brittany and Stefanie for you, they'll be happy to hear the news as well

Congratulations you two!!!

 

[LynnTarrant]

Congratulations Dede and John, how lovely to have a little Princess

 

[grimgrinnin]

Thanks for the well-wishes

Her name is Piper Sidney. Anyone care to guess the obscure Disney connection?

PS - Aisling - You have a wonderful singing voice (check the call log of your cel phone )

[Aisling]

Ok, Sidney Miller was the director of the Mickey Mouse Club from 1955-1959.
And Disney did a Pied Piper cartoo, I believe as part of the Silly Symphonies.

Now, Grim and Dede, I feel I know you well enough to say that I hope these aren't the obscure Disney connections from which you named your baby princess! If it had to be Disney, counldn't it be Jasmine Belle??? By the way, I LOVE the name Piper, but c'mon, please tell me her middle name not named after Sidney Miller!!!

And Grim, I'm SOOOO embarrassed!!! I usually have the key lock on my cell, but somehow, well, you know! Sowwy!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[minniegrl]

Hi all!

Thanks for the congrats! We are SO excited!

Piper Sidney came about because we both liked the name Piper (each before we met, not knowing that the other liked it) and Sidney is the first 3 letters in Disney reversed. Grim came up with the middle name. I think its perfect!

Tig, thanks for passing along the news to Britt and Steph and Aisling, thanks for letting the boys know. Just think, we were all sitting around that cruise ship not knowing that there was a new little princess growing inside me! Glad I didn't have a drink of the day every day... just a few here and there.

Now for the Pink Fest! I say let the buying commence! I will be on one continuous shopping spree for the next 5 months! poor Grim

Time to fix dinner. Talk to you all later!

Dede

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Nan says Hi!

She called me while in traffic going thru LA...actually they all say Hi!

I just sent her a text message & told her what the baby's name is

She says what if it turns out to be a boy and was hiding something from you during the ultrasound
