DDA Chapter 27

[Glynis]

Good morning. The kids are back to school, and Timmy and I are trying to get back in our routine!

Anne Marie - You should totally do it! It is an awesome feeling!

Tammi - You should do it anyway. I know you can!!!

Elin, I believe their renovation was completed in Jan 2010, and that the pictures on allears are the current ones.


ETA - Yep...the photos on allears of the studios are all of rehabed units. You can tell by the flat screen tv. The One and Two BR photos are of the older units.

BWV is my new fav resort.

You're welcome. Hope that helps.

Elin,
did you see this?

One of the changes coming to the Epcot restaurant is the addition of the Gusto Wine Bar, also opening in April. Gusto will be located next to Tutto Italia, and will have the look of an authentic Italian wine cellar. Stone floors and brick walls will complete the space, giving guests the feel of having been transported straight to Italy

Sounds like a nice addition to the Italian pavilion.

Hello DDA!!!

Sorry for not checking in sooner. After our trip it just seemed like I was playing catch up though the end of they year. Well, it didn't help that Terra had a stomach bug the first few days back or that Deva knocked out 104-105 fevers the whole week before Christmas. The first few weeks since I've been trying to find a productive path again. I think it's starting to get there.

Hope that everyone has been doing well.

Jen - glad to hear you've got someone special making you happy!

Glynis - I'm so sorry for your friends' loss. How very sad.

Deb - I hope Colby's foot is doing better.

Elin - happy anniversary to Bob. His great progress has been in my thoughts this week as my aunt's been keeping us updated on the recent stroke of a dear friend of their family's.

Tammi - I think you could do the race with no problem. You've got the focus to do a good training program.

Bernadette - Sounds like good trip plans for the year.

Good morning, DDA

We have a dusting of snow here, topped off with ice!

Anne Marie - I posted a response to your question about the new wine bar but it apparently never made it onto the DIS! Yes, I knew about it! I am hoping they offer m ore choices than they have in the shop in Italy now. Not that they are bad choices, but a broader selection would be lovely!

Happy Sunday!
Deb-you can tell Chris Im rooting for the pats for him today...it pains me!
We had a few inches of snow this weekend too...I spent the weekend with my boyfriend and his son so we did the whole playing in the snow thing, which was fun. But I got home this morning and I had a couple of inches of solid ice in my driveway! It took me a good hour to get the salt on it and clear off most of my driveway and sidewalk...definitely not a fan of winter!
Now, off to watch football!

One year ago today Bob had is stroke. What a short, long year this has been.

He's come such a long way.

Sorry to hear about how sick everyone had been. Not a fun way to deal with post Disney blues.

Now you can watch them in the Superbowl

It was bit close.

Last weekend DH fixed my laptop. It was just a stupid plastic ring around the on button that had been pushed out of position so I couldn't turn it on. Nice to have it back but now my Mac desktop is getting hung up when I try to start it up.

I emailed runDisney to be sure my half marathon time was good enough to qualify for the Coast to Coast medal. They assured me it was and they also fixed my official results that were 36 minutes too long. SO....Mary K and I signed up for the DisneyLand Half Marathon Labor Day weekend. We had talked about going Thursday but we found out that the Red Sox will be playing out there the Wed & Thu so we're thinking of trying to get tickets to the Thursday game and heading out on Wed.

I suggested to DH that we make it our family trip but he wasn't sure he was up for that. Now the kids are working on him. He's seem somewhat open to the idea.

Glynis-would we be crazy to fly into Salt Lake City around August 17thish-go to Zion maybe Arches or some other parks. I would really like to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. See the Hoover Dam and drive to California by August 29th? Then fly home out of California. OH...and Joe really wants to see the Disney Family Museum in SF. Any tips for a trip like that? Any Disney Land tips? Hotel suggestions for DL if it is for our family of 5 or for just Mary K & I (another friend might join us too).

Hooray for being qualified for Coast to Coast!!!

A trip out West would be really fun for your family. Just be aware, that SLC is about 5 hours north of Zion, and it is quite a drive. It's doable, but I just wanted you to be aware. Most people actually fly into Las Vegas, then travel north to do Grand Canyon and Zion. My advice would be to check out some maps and see what appeals to everyone. Zion is great for the family as there are hikes of different abilities. Arches is some of the most gorgeous scenery you'll ever see! There are so many places in Utah that are spectacular to see!

As you get closer to your date, and finalize who is going, let me know and I'll help with all the advice I can!

Thanks!!

Thinking about it a bit more there is SO much I want to see in Utah that I think we should plan a trip some other time for all of that.

I think we should look into flying into SanFran and stick to all CA this time. I don't want to be completely wiped out before the race.

Good Morning

Good morning, DDA!

Bob's surgery went well! We have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon this afternoon to see if Dr. Elin is correct in this assessment.

I'm willing to bet you were! I'm glad it all went well. We think of you often.

I spent the morning today at a memorial service for a good friend's grandfather. I was a loving family man who used to call each of his grandkids every morning before school to say hello, give them a weather report for the day and suggest what they should wear for said weather. LOL. It got me to thinking about how long it has been since my grandma passed away and I can't quite quantify it. It just always seems like it was just recently, but maybe that's just because I know she's never far away. :

Only other news around her is that we're waiting with fingers crossed in hopes that Phil gets an interview with the city for a new job opening there. It would be such a good opportunity for us and help solidify our ability to move forward on housing options. Thanks for all the FB comments of good thoughts for it!
