Grumpy and his wife and possibly the DIS Food Porn Queen are going to Disney

Kathy, love this update. You know the photo of you and Mark is my very favorite - glad you posted it again.

Of course, we share a little tradition....wouldn't it be neat if you could get a picture of the balloon this year...maybe Mark could take one as the little one walks away.

Frank has been in my thoughts and prayer...hoping for good news soon.

hey Kathy! I am just catching up on your PTR i have been away from the boards for a week or so life has became so busy! The food at the plaza looks very good! We are trying it the first time this year-- and i totally agree with the having a light meal for a change. But the end of the week i actually get sick of eating Can't wait to hear about your Marco Island

Life tends to get in teh way of our DISSing every once in awhile.

You will really enjoy the Plaza.

Thanks, Christine. I knew you liked that pic the best from last year.

I will at least try to remember to take a picture of a balloon. I don't want to impose on someone and take a picture of their child and then post in my TR.

I will let you know when I hear something on Frank.


This is a little "teaser" picture for Mary Ellen of Marco Island:

I think that is a lovely way to honour your fathers memory, simple yet meaningful

Hey Kathy, I am all caught up and here it is 1:30 in the morning but I had to come see what was up on your ptr!

Love the picture of Cookie, she looks just like my dd's best friend's dog Tessie. So cute and that is not a bad haircut she's sporting!

We have good friends that say Tutto is the best restaurant in WDW (and they have tried them all, I keep asking if she's Nicki's cousin or something!). I really want to try it one of these days.

Love your balloon story, even though I knew about it from your last trip, I shed some tears when you talked it about in this report. What a wonderful tribute to your dad, only a great man and WDW could inspire that one!

So glad you guys are going to back to Marco, that is one of my favorite spots. We haven't been since 2005, we took my mom there for her 70th birthday and I am just not quite ready to go back. Which is good given our current financial situation!

Love all the pics, sorry I was gone for a few days. My inlaws are coming. Can you say CLEANING and COOKING.

Hi, Amy. My dad was the best and I think of him every day. I can't wait to get to Marco. They are having a down season because people are afraid to book because of the oil, but it is not anywhere near Marco.

Sorry guys...NO update tonight. My Blackhawks are playing for the Stanely Cup Championship. It's game 6; we're up 3 games to 2. If we win tonight, the Cup belongs to Chicago. It's tied 2-2 in the 2nd period and I can hardly stand it.

 

[All7OfUs]

Go Blackhawks!!​

 

[KatMark]

Go Blackhawks!!​

THANK YOU, LIESA. Chicago needs a winner...it's been too long since Chicago has had any kind of championship.

We're up 3-2 with about four minutes left in the 2nd period. One more period to go. I don't know if my heart can handle this.

Hi I'm here, and all caught up!

Loved reading about all of your plans and seeing all the pictures to go along with everything! Those pictures of Mark in all the different hats are too funny!

I really like your France picture...I'd like to try to take a picture like that, but I hate asking random people to take a picture of DH and I!

Hope your Blackhawks win!

Thanks, Jen. I'm glad you came over. Actually, that picture in front of France was taken by our best friends who were with us in 2008 (although there is sometimes a Photopass person around ther etoo).

And you should always ask...you'd be amazed how many people are willing to do it. I always ask people when I see a couple of a family and not everyone in the pic.

Mark and his hats. I swear one of these days I'm going to do just a thread on the hats!

Okay...time to go have a drink...and a strong one at that. One more period to go and we have a one goal lead.

Oh, I think this series probably will go to Chicago

Go Flyers

It's not over yet. My heart, stomach, head and NERVES cannot take overtime.

I just turned it on during the last goal! I admittedly don't watch hockey often (as I mentioned, Flyers fan by default!) but this is too good to pass up!

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS -- STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dad is smiling down from heaven on this one!

 

[All7OfUs]

I'm so happy you could find a lot of joy in this! Something nice to bring back a happy memory of your dad for you!

 

[onelilspark]

Congrats on the Blackhawks win

Thank you, Liesa. I know my dad is grinning from ear to ear on this one. I was two years old the last time the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup.

Congrats on the Blackhawks win

Thank you, Kelly. Your Philadelphia Flyers should hold their heads up high...they had a great run and gave us fits at times.

 

[KatMark]

In ALL of my excitement over our Blackhawks, I didn't realize until just now that we are down to double digits. 99 Days

Please do the double digit dance with me, friends.
