We will be there at the same time! I am going from 10/22 to 10/29. We will have to see if we can meet up for a drink or something. Last spring I was lucky enough to connect up with LuvMaryPoppins and Snappy. It was nice to see a face to go with the messages posted on a board!

Patsmom when do you arrive on the 22nd?? I will be in Epcot that mid morning and early afternoon. And may get to meet R. if we can meet up. Reunion events that day but the evening and all. If not, maybe Sunday, but not in a park. Unless I upgrade his pass to an AP. Just not sure I will be able to.

 

[Olallamom]

Patsmom:
It would be great to match up for a drink. I plan on enjoying the F&W festival each evening. I will pm you my cell #.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Cheryl will be there the 21-25th, hope she can meet up with you all too.

 

[MerryPoppins]

No to the before and after photos. I didn't take the first set, but I'll take finished ones if we ever get there. We looked at a new house this weekend. Honestly, I'd love to just move out of this one and start over.

 

[Candy30]

Sha, Olalla, Cheryl, and PatsMom! Wow you guys will have a mini reunion!!! Take photos to share with us!!!

Merry- LOL That is the way I felt when I saw the mess that was left after my kitchen being revamped!

Finally got all the information to the insurance company. Now it has to go to review to see what monetary value will be for each item. I feel like I am being punished for my things being stolen.

 

[PatsMom]

Sha - we are arriving early in the day on the 22d. Our plan is to take the Magic Express to Saratoga Springs, drop off our stuff and head to Epcot. So I will be in that park from early afternoon until illuminations. It would be great to meet R.

I will PM all of you with my cell number.

Just back from the last treatment in this cycle. Going to lay down for a while and see if I can rest. I am hoping that I will be feeling good by the 22d. The nurse who did my treatment today said I am holding up pretty well. Some people start refusing maintenance treatments at this stage because the side effects keep getting worse. But I really, really want to keep my bladder if I can so I will do just about anything to lower the risk of recurrence.

 

[Sha]

patsmom that will be wonderful! Look forward to it. Am not sure what time we will leave Epcot to go back to the room to rest and whatever before getting ready for the evenings activities. If you can head towards the countries when you come in that will be great. Will have my cell to hear for your call or texts.

Hope you got some rest. I am headed to bed soon myself too. I am waiting for R. but may just go ahead and go to bed.

Would be great to see Cheryl too. I could try to come back over to WDW before I head back home after taking R. to the airport on Sunday.

I know I need to come back still and update you all.

 

[MerryPoppins]

MIL sold her house today. Great news, but also scary. We need to have the estate sale by the end of the month and get our stuff out early in November. If I disappear for a few days at a time in the next few weeks, you'll know why.

 

[Sha]

Laurie what day do you arrive for the walk?? Not sure yet where we are staying. Waitlisted for a studio but havent paid for a room yet either.

They don't mail out packets. I should be able to go by there and get ours and yours if needed. I am debating about signing mom up as a team member but I think I will.

 

[snappy]

My plane lands at 11:45 Thursday. I am staying in a studio at OKW for the first 2 nights, then over to Wyndham bonnet crekk.

I would love it if you could pick up my packet for me. Our home computer died over the weekend so I am winging it on my iPhone.

Looking at a powerful laptop, well DH is.

The van sounds awesome, MaryAnn. Do you have it yet?

You all are going to have fun meeting up later in October. And I am jealous you guys will be able to meet R.


Later

 

[Candy30]

It's great that they are able to meet!!! Take pictures so we can at least see everyone. Including R! He is like Charlie on Charlies angels!!

Hope your feeling better Patsmom. Hang in there.

Lisa how are you doing?

Smilie Hope you are doing well?

Post up and let us know how you are doing.

LMP I too hope you were able to get the van. What's the verdict?

 

[wdw4us2]

Sha & Laurie - Good luck to you at the RFTC. One of these years, I will get up there to cheer you on. I would send Meg, but she'll be working.

Candy - Dealing with insurance companies is never fun. Hang in there!

PatsMom - Get lots of rest before your trip. You will be amazed how much energy you have once your arrive at WDW!

MerryPoppins - Good luck with the estate sale.

MaryAnn - I hope your vehicle problems have been solved. Let us know what you ended up with.

I am actually feeling decent after last Friday's chemo. Still tired and I don't have a lot of energy, but I don't have feel that nastiness that usually accompanies each chemo. I'm actually taking a friend out to lunch today for her birthday.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I'm jealous. DH keeps saying he wants to go to F&W.

Friends of ours went the other night at our urging and they hated it. They are not adventurous eaters and said it was too crowded.

 

[snappy]

I have read it can be very crowded on the weekends. I do not remember it being overly crowded when we went in 2008. Maybe we were lucky. We were there for 6 nights. On Sunday we did the RFTC and ate brunch on the BW with Sha, her mom, Ann and her sisters.

My sister and her DH thought it was very crowded last year in early November. she was in a scooter and was very frustrated with the busses. They avoided F&W after the first day.

I have ADRs away from Epcot next weekend to avoid the crowds and will go to F&W Thursday, Friday early perhap and Monday.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

OK, rub it in.

 

[snappy]

What about next year?

 

[Olallamom]

It does get crowded at the F&W, but I just love it. I haven't been for 5 years, so I am super excited to go at the end of the month.
My son decided on pirates as our costume theme for MNSSHP.

Good afternoon sistas

Lisa - so glad you are feeling better, Enjoy your lunch.

Melissa - I can feel your estate pain. We had to clean out both our parents houses while dragging along the 3ds back to another state and the lst house I also had to have my 91 yo grandma with us too. I couldnt imagine doing it now that I am older etc. Hope it all goes well for you.

Laurie - does your dds college have a computer discont program. That is where we got ds laptop from. It was a much better deal than buying it locally etc. I think it was an HP or dell, its not in front of me.

PatsMom - hope you are slowly recovering post treatment

Candy - I can feel your insurance pain. Its like never ending paperwork and phone calls for us. Oh and my dh mentioned again how I should have used the laptop on the vacation because then you could have met your friend. So, I will def. plan another trip to the Amish country but this time we wil make a plan to meet ahead of time. Ever go to the Shady Maple Buffet? Hear alot of good things about it.

Sha,Laurie,Olla, PatsMom - yes we are all jealous of you. Have a great time.

well we are in the midst of the 3 car scenario right now. Latest update was dh wants to return the rental car today or tomm, the new van should be ready, they agreed to most of what we wanted, a little more cost for something we asked for, dh and ds23 might go pick it up tonight, then drop it home, drive to the airport and drop off the rental car, then dealing with the crashed van. They are giving us much more than we epected for it, yippe, but our rental car is like $1k besides. Dh was suppose to get the plates off it this morning and ow we have to send them the title and paperwork, maybe tomm by fedex. My head spins, candy I so feel your insurance pain.

Ds still hasnt found a volunteer position and ds23 stayed home from work yest, kinda like a mental health day. He told me his dilemma. I am glad he felt open enough to confide in me, but somehow I wish I would have never heard what he told me. I told him I will pray for him and all the people involved. Tried to offer him some motherly advice and other examples.

Now dh says we need to shop for furniture this week end. Gosh I am sick of shopping right now I told him.

Cheryl - thinking of you because its time to go out east to the farm and get my $80 worth of pumpkins again
