I'd also add Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. If you like Greek mythology, at all, you'll love these books!

I loved it!! Elin I have the series if you want me to send it to you

I have a one day one park ticket for Universal that we won't be using. It expires the end of the year. Does anyone here have use for it?

 

[yellowfish78]

Oh! Elin - do you have a Kindle? I think I can loan you the Hunger Games via Kindle for free for two weeks...

We bought Bob a Kobo reader since we had a Border's here. Sadly...

Thanks anyway, Chanon. I will have to see if I can get any of these for his Kobo.

 

[ReAnSt]

I hope you are all doing well.

Vickie- Good luck getting everything ready for the wedding.

Elin- Hope Bob continues to improve.

Chanon- If no one else wants the ticket I should be able to use it. Let me know what you want for it.

I need to start training for the half marathon. I hope to do so after my trip to CA for the D23 expo which I am leaving for on Wednesday. I have lots to do before I leave for that trip.

Terry-prayers for your DGS-he is so adorable!

Debbie-would love to see you in November!

Vicki-wedding plans sound nice!

Tom-congrats on booking a trip!

Channon-nice to see you

Becky-me too! Need to start training for 1/2 marathon and have way too much to do before I leave for my trip on Wednesday.

I made Emma the cutest dalmation backpack so now I need to make Joe & Lizzy bags. Need to make some PJs as I made some for Joe & Emma. Need to pack and have a ton of work to do too. We come home on the 29th. I will go to work on the 30th to do a few month end things but then be out again until after Labor Day. It will be nice to have the break but then when I go back it will be non stop crazy til my November trip.

Stephanie and I each got our cruise documents yesterday!!!

Best of all is that Steve and Michelle took Caleb home from the hospital yesterday and he is doing just fine.

It is so refreshing to come here and read good news again I wish we were headed to WDW, but that's not in the cards for a few years

We're busy this weekend helping my parents put up their wood for next year. It needed to be cut, split, delivered and piled to give it a year to dry. We got about 3 cord put up today. Hopefully we'll get their last 2 done tomorrow. Then we can finish up our own. It's good exercise and it will save us a bunch of money this winter.

Becky - I sent you a message via FB - I found out the ticket doesn't expire until 8/31/2012 and it can't be upgraded since it's technically a comp ticket (from My Coke Rewards). I'm asking $50; so if you can't use it and someone else can before 8/31/12, let me know!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Yep. Bernadette and I will be there at the same time again!

I'll be ready by Wednesday! I should send you a list of our days as we are unlikely to see each other on the bus this year.

Bernadette and Tammi have safe and fun trips

Thanks!

What wonderful news about Caleb!

Sounds exhausting! My back hurts and all I did was sew.

Had a productive day today. We all went blueberry picking this morning. I made Lizzy's bag-just have to sew the strap adjusters on. I am very happy with how it came out. It is patchwork Pooh fabrics. I am also about 80% done with Joe's. I just have to put on the magnet closure then sew the lining in and straps on. Love his too. His is red and black with an applique of the Partners Statue on the flap. It is lined in yellow and has a small splash of yellow on the outside with the handle. He LOVES it.

So tomorrow I just have to do laundry, finish Joe's bag while that is cooking, pack, sort though my cameras' memory cards, and maybe do some school supply shopping.

We are watching an Epcot movie from 2003. Emma used to watch this movie nearly every night. It has been a while since I've watched it.

Terry - what wonderful news!

Bernadette - we'll have to make plans to see each other, who is going with you in November?

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

Bernadette - I PM'd you our park days and my cell.

Terry - I'm so glad to hear that Caleb is home. :

Deb - This must have been the week for coffee pot mishaps. I broke my carafe the other night. The pizza stone was standing up in the dish drain and I banged the carafe into it, shattering a hole in the bottom. Luckily it was empty and didn't send shards of glass everywhere. I just ended up buying a whole new coffee maker as the carafes were almost just as much.

Rainy day here today. I guess we won't make it to the pool.

We did another 3 plus cord of wood today. My parents are all set for this year We still have more to do here, but no big rush. We hit Staples this afternoon and stocked up on 1 cent notebooks.

I've been searching for campground near Lake George that charge a reasonable rate. Most campgrounds have a base rate then charge extra for holidays and extra for each kid, etc. We wanted to bring our camper there for Labor Day weekend as we have a white water rafting trip booked. We need to be there the following weekend for a car show so it made sense to find a campground that we could book for 9 nights. Some campgrounds run specials in the fall where you can camp on the weekends and leave the camper there during the week. So I search and kept coming up with $750 for 9 nights That obviously wasn't going to happen. Somehow I stumbled on a campground just outside of Lake George (in the town that we are white water rafting in) that had fabulous fall rates with the option to leave the camper there during the week. I called to inquire and it turns out that their web administrator made a few mistakes on the website, but they are honoring the rates. I ended up paying $142 for the 9 nights, 5 of which we will actually be at the campground I don't have to pay an upcharge for the holiday weekend or the charge for kids. I'm feeling lucky tonight
