From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 3

[ACDSNY]

Hi all,

I'm try8iig to be back now, other than the couple little things i've posted. It's been a bad few weeks. My father went down hill really fast and i lost him 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm so sad all the time, and have to remind myself that he had a long and mostly good life, with some really sad times (lost both sons and a wife, and a second wife to alzheimers) and some great times - 6 doting grandchildren and several doting stepgrand and great grand children. And while planning the funeral and running to the funeral directors and such my almost 13 year old car blew up. and then my air conditioning (house) did the same (in this record heat wave). Did the funeral, bought a new car, got the a/c fixed (uner warranty - yeah!!), and now i have poison ivy all over my face and arms. sigh. not a minute to breathe. I'm so proud of my children and neices and how they helped us through this and how they handled themselves.

Sherri

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, so sorry to hear about you father.

Don't be so hard on yourself as it takes time to get over the loss of a parent, not to mention all the other stress factors you had.

Sorry to hear your news.

Lyne, are you talking about the reality show with Southwest Airlines. If so, the friend I mentioned in the above post was one of the "Stars". Her name is Susie, and she is like a sister to me. Just a FYI that show is over 8 years old now. DW and I are taking her and her new husband to WDW next year as their wedding gift. (Thank god for DVC). No she did not marry the guy that she had the tearfull good by to in one episode. Sorry about the rambling.

NEVER apoligise !! I enjoy your posts, that is the show I am talking about, I loved it, you guys do customer care to the extreme, I have them in my sky box, I am going to watch to see which one Suzie.

Hi everyone,

We are looking forward to the cruise so much!
Me and DH and son Max aged 9. The kids club sounds so much fun.

I had a surprise when I checked 'who is going' and found out that there was another family in the stateroom that Disney said we had!! Hopefully it will get sorted out!

It is cold here in Sydney, Australia.!!

Welcome.

Who else is staying at BLT the night before? We'll be there (all 10 of us). If anyone wants to stop by and have a glass of wine with us, let me know

BLT? It depends on whether my kansas friends come or not what we will be doing.

Finally caught up on all the reading I missed on vacation, you guys were busy! Tomorrow we plan on heading to the passholder/DVC sale at World of Disney then to the Contemporary for a celebration / sales pitch for the Hawaii resort, then off to IKEA for shopping and some lunch. Phew, I'm tired just thinking about it all.

Anyone else have plans? Good luck with the yard sale, hope you don't get rained on.

Not a lot of plans, trying to do healthy stuff as I drank and ate way too much with friends that come over for supper last night.

oh the up side, i've almost gotten caught up with the threads. I can't think well enough to figure out FE gifts for it. I dont know if i will do it now. Maybe time will help. I can't figure out what to start thinking of it. Maybe its too soon, though i could use the vacation now! I can't beleive 6 months from now i'll be cruising!

So i'll be asking stupid FE questions soon as i'll be doing estate stuff too and dont want to wait till last minute but want to decide if i'm doing it. my brain is all mush. so i'll apologize in advance and say thanks too!

ok, need to go now. Take care, have a good weekend, and if you're in this heat wave, stay cooool. (Here in maryland it's supposed to be over 102 tomorrow).

Sherri

I am very sorry to hear your sad news Sherri.

If you watch I think the very first episode, she is the one who helps the smelly guy.

Just a yard sale tip for the tent. I have seen many tents at yard sales and have even been tempted to buy-but they are always rolled up in a box or bag. If I don't know what the tent looks like, I can't buy it. Set up your tent and you have a much better chance at selling it.

Hope you make some cruise money at your sale.

Tent is up and waiting in the garage to be moved out - the rain has stopped but everything is still VERY wet. I'll put down the ground cloth and we'll carry it out - it's big 5 person, so it MUST go out, wet or not.

You poor Dear!

Been there done that - it will take you a while to recover - tincture of time is the healer.

The estate stuff will be a pain in the tush for a while. Patience is needed. Persistance is mandatory!

At least, you have thinking about the cruise to give you some relief! Hang tough. This time too, shall pass,

 

[glindamood]

Sherri - hugs and prayers headed your way. Remember the good times always.

Warm here and muggy - the yellow, red and green rainclouds on the weather map are headed this way. I have to go into the office today and to the grocery but other than normal house stuff, nothing on the agenda.

On our way up.(see the path on the rhs)

View from the top.

Sorry, I could post with out a few beagle pics.

 

[granmaz]

Love the photos Lynne. Which Beagle is which?

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Orly is the close up, he is lemon and white, Ruby is the tri colour, she is much finer than him if you see them together.

Oh, our Becky was a tricolour then.

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Oh, our Becky was a tricolour then.

You must try and post a pic of her for me.

 

[granmaz]

You must try and post a pic of her for me.

Oh, we had her back in 1969/72, so very old piccies. We haven't mastered the scanner yet either. She was cute, but as I have said before, so very very naughty!!!

I've enjoyed that show. Haven't seen it in awhile though but would watch it if I could find it.


Lynn, great photos! Thanks for sharing!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband a year ago March and it was so quick and unexpected. All the good memories are what has gotten me through. Just keep those good things on your mind and go forward,

 

[CruznLexi]

Sherri,
So sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost my dad when I was 19. He looked like Andy Girffith and sounded like him too so any time I want to hear his voice I watch Andy. I think the hardest thing was not being able to have him walk me down the aisle. He loved the Panama Canal as he worked for the Corps of Engineers and went there frequently. He promised one day to take me there one day. It did not happen bur I am making it happen. It does get better it does take awhile.

It will be an emotional trip for you i bet.

I know the one you are talking about!

Cool. She is like a sister.

 

[DVCinderella]

Are you talking about the elderly couple?...I think the husband was in a wheelchair, and the wife couldn't help...so the woman from the airline took him into the bathroom. Is that your friend? I saw that one. God bless her for having that kind of patience (and stomach)...that is really going above and beyond the call of duty.

 

[tlungstrum]

Tammy, how nice it must be to live so close to WDW! I would love being able to go anytime!

As far as weekend plans, we are considering going to see Despicable Me. I really hadn't planned on seeing it based on the previews but so many people have commented on how good it is. Tomorrow night, hubby and I have a going away/birthday party for his boss that we need to go to. Sunday, don't know what we got going on but DH is off so we'll just enjoy having him home. It's not very often he gets 2 day off in a row!

Carmen, we are really lucky. The only down side is every time we get in the van DS3 thinks we're going to WDW! We're considering Despicable Me too, let me know what you think if you go. Enjoy DH for 2 days in a row!
