Shouldn't Amy be up by now?

Yeah, especially since she has a toddler!

Elin, did you hear anything about a tornado touching down in KG? Bob said something about a house getting hit off of 218.

We made our reservations for the Bertram Inn yesterday. Yesterday on her way into Boston for the day (she was volunteering for the Boston Marathon) Kathrin walked down to the area where the inns are located. She was able to walk into both the Bertram Inn and the Samuel Sewall Inn and look around. Although she said that both seem lovely there was something about the Bertram Inn that she liked better. That was how I felt looking at their websites too, so I called and made our reservations.

Here are a few photos I was able to lift from their website. I think this will be a very relaxing time for us!

The Bertram Inn:

The foyer with winding staircase:

The living room (which has a side porch for breakfast, according to Kathrin):

The robes:

Our suite which was once the library of the home. It has a full wall of bookshelves, sunken bathroom with separate shower room and beautiful mission-style decor:

Here is all I can find about yesterday's storms (from the AP):

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Portions of central and eastern Virginia were under a flood advisory Monday as residents and officials assessed damage from storms that moved through several counties in the Richmond area.

Hanover County authorities said severe thunderstorms that moved through the area Sunday cut a 4-mile swath of destruction, damaging homes, downing trees and power lines and making driving hazardous. Similar damage was reported in New Kent and King William counties.

The National Weather Service had issued tornado warnings in the area, but it was unclear whether the damage was caused by a tornado. Weather-service officials said crews would assess the damage Monday.

Forecasters say up to 6 inches of rain fell in some parts of the Richmond area Sunday, where state police responded to 31 crashes.

Police said most were weather-related, with drivers hydroplaning and striking trees or guardrails or overturning.

In Maryland, the National Weather Service has confirmed that the damaging storms that tore through portions of Prince George's and Charles counties on Sunday were small tornadoes.

Both struck between 2 and 3 p.m.

The Weather Service says the first apparently touched down just south of Waldorf, then headed north -- damaging roofs and bringing down tree branches.

He said it was yesterday.

The Inn is very beautiful. Good decision.

I have looked everywhere I can think of and cannot find anything about it. Maybe they have not determined that it was a tornado yet.

I think we will like the Inn too.... better than a Hyatt, I think!

OK, those of you who use minimus... do you have the box delivered to the resort or to your home? I am famous for buying travel-sized products to take along on vacation. But I see no point in buying them on there (unless it is at a GREAT discount) and having to haul them on a plane.

My cats still hiss at each other occasionally

So do mine. We have had Arabella almost a year and they still don't get along all that well. But they do seem to like to chase each other.

The concert was amazing, if I do say so myself! I still feel a bit rocky, and am hoping that a full night's sleep will help. See you all in the morning.

Yay for a good concert! I hope you continue to feel better!

Bernadette I love the outfits, great job Will Emma be wearing these in May or are these for August? We only have 2 more weeks

Becky

Cute outfits, Bernadette! But really, get some velcro.

Becky - I hope you are able to get the paper finished!

That must have been tough

Terry, I hope your DS is able to work through his issues! Maybe this will be the change he needs to get things turned around.

Princess seems to be feeling OK today so she went to school. I am headed out shortly to start on my returns.

Denise- Your trip is shaping up to be so memorable!

Tammi- for the new washer. Sorry to hear that you TV bit the dust. I am so glad that you all enjoyed Hairspray, even if you were a bit late.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm glad you are feeling better today!

Is this like an e-check? Regardless, hopefully all goes well today!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Wonderful job! I can't wait to see her in these in pictures!

Thanks!

Bernadette - the outfits are adorable! FrayCheck works for me on ribbons, so I have to assume it will wor for your buttonholes.

Thanks! And the hope that fraycheck will work!

I do feel better.

We made our reservations for the Bertram Inn yesterday.

Looks lovely!

I ship right the resort. I also order snacks as their prices are pretty reasonable-especially on the individual cereal bowls. They are on the west coast so allow pleanty of time for shipping. I'm hoping to order today.

Cute outfits, Bernadette! But really, get some velcro.

Thanks! My SIL from St Louis arrives on Tuesday night so I hope she'll give me a lesson-and make the buttonholes on the 2 outfits that need them-maybe I'll have another 1 or 2 or 3 completed for her to do.

Bernadette- Your creations are fabulous!!

Thanks!

it is yours!

I don't know what an e-check is since we had no inspections on vehicles at all when we lived in Ohio! If it is an emissions control inspection then that is partly what our cars have to go through here in the DC area. there is a safety check and also an emissions control check. Both must be passed before you can license your vehicle here.

Good luck!! I hate inspections.

Bernadette - Is this the SIL that makes the hats? She should be able to figure out the buttonhole thing.

I only returned one thing. Now I am tired. I had weird not-quite-nightmares last night so I don't feel very rested.

But guess what I found at Marshall's? A Baggalini sling bag!! It is a small one that will be perfect for the parks! And the Nine West one I bought to be my new park bag can be my regular purse (for around here). I have looked for weeks and can't find a purse I like. My current one is a mess because the cats like the chew the handles (the vinyl must taste good).

So the Baggalini is kind of a weird green. Not quite DIS lime, somewhere between spring green and the inside of an avocado. It's not as ugly as it sounds. And it was only $12.99.

I was thinking the same thing about their cereals. Kristin eats Special K and I like the low-fat granola with yogurt. I could be persuaded to use milk on it, I suppose.

Bob loves to have snacks on-hand in the room so some of those looks like they would work too. And the prices for mini deodorant/antiperspirants also look comparable to what I pay here, so those make sense.

Have you tried their sunscreen towelettes? I have thought those would be nice to throw in if I could find them locally.

It certainly wouldn't take long to make up a $20 order.

Elizabeth - it sounds like you had a very productive "returns" shopping trip! The bag sounds like it will work out well for the parks. Good deal!
