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

Kathy,

I am SO sorry to hear that this is such a sad time for you! 2 years seems like a long time, but yet it is still such a short time.
My mum has been gone for nearly 10 years now (in July) and there are the odd days when I still pick up the phone, to call her until I realize there is no way to call her where she is now.
The missing will stay, but thankfully the hurting will go away with time. Remember that you have a wonderful family and many friends here on the board.
Sorry about your friend who passed away! It is a sad time - I went to the funeral of a friend today too!

Kathy, Don't feel sorry about the p.m., I appreciated you sending it. My boss is driving me nuts today because he's leaving to take his mother to MD Anderson. His mother just found out she may have colon cancer. I normally check Caring Bridge very first thing every morning and today was the one day that I hadn't done it yet.

I will miss Ginny dearly. She was a beautiful, wonderful, thoughtful woman.

Thanks; I hate sending PM messages like that...but I had no other way to reach you and I thought it would be better coming fro me.

I hope your bosses mother is okay...I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

I too will miss Ginny.

sending to you Kathy
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day!
Connie

And to you too, dear Connie.

Thanks, Karin. I thought by now it might be a little easier, but I do have very fond memories.

Ginny was a lovely woman. I never met her in person as I have some of my other DIS friends, but we corresponded over a year and she sent Mark and I a Christmas gift and she sent gifts to others here on the DIS as well; she and I would talk about her grandson's wrestling and Markie's wrestling. We thought she was getting better from her last message to us DIS sisters but I guess God had a better plan for her (she can keep my dad some company).

Joining in.
I can't believe it has taken me so long to see your report. I love your CSR thread and all your other posts.

I am crossing my fingers MickeyNicki gets to join you on your trip for a few days. That will be a fun dining report.

 

[tinacaplan]

So sorry for your loss, Kathy.

Sending you....

Just dropping an official note to say I'm here (although, I've been here for awhile ). I was anxiously awaiting your actual CSR dates when you first announced the trip, sad that I miss you by just a couple of days . Next time I'll have to plan better so I can hang with the DIS folks.



ETA:
Speaking of planning better, CSR is becoming more and more popular, I better book bounceback when I go to be sure I can get it for 2011 .

Thanks, pinkxray...great to have you here. I can't even imagine the fun and the food and drinks we will partake in if Nicki (MickeyNicki) joins us. I wish there was a smilie for "fingers crossed."

So sorry for your loss, Kathy.

Sending you....

Thank you, Tina.

Allan, I'm so glad you came over to my PTR. I know you've been lurking. I am so upset that we will miss you by just a few days. We will plan around the same time next year as we will book the bounceback too. And you are right; CSR seems to be getting more popular with the new rooms, etc., so you better book it while you are there.

If my family follows through on their promise of "cleaning the house" tomorrow, I'll get up the next installment.

When I last reported, we were having ice cream and popcorn, riding Pirates, Splash and Big Thunder Mountain (although I'll be the only one on Big Thunder unless Nicki is with us).

From there, we'll head over to Haunted Mansion:

We will then see if we can hit a show just about to start at the Hall of Presidents (we were able to see this when it reopened last year after adding our current President, Barack Obama; this was a very special occasion for me becaude I have known the President personally for over 20 years so it was a very proud moment).

Depending on what time it is, we might walk to Mickeystoontown (is this still open with the rehab to Fantasyland?) to see Mickey in his tent for our annual picture.

I'm thinking about now it is probably around 6:30 or 7 p.m. and we'll try to do a Buzz again and then slowly make our way over to Mickey's Philharmagic. Then we will look for a seat for Wishes. This is my absolute favorite show and I don't know what it is about it, I ALWAYS cry. My DH has gotten used to it and always has kleenix handy for me.

I just love how the castle changes colors and how beautiful it is at night:

Up next...will Grumpy and his wife last until midnight for EMH?

 

[dizneeat]

Up next...will Grumpy and his wife last until midnight for EMH?

My bet is on YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your update, Kathy! I hope Nicki will be able to join you for all the rides Mark won't be able to do!
Your "in depth" planning is just wonderful!!!!!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Maybe I'm not too late to wish you the BEST Mother's Day EVER, Kathy!!!

May you be ever blessed by your motherhood!

Love you, my friend.

 

[Stefy]

Maybe that was my problem???? I was laughing so hard I couldn't get out this time and it had me in stitches.

You are right...Disney has some awesome desserts (my favorite is the Chocolate on Chocolate Whiskey Cake at LeCellier).

Lol it is funny, how something like that can have you in hysterics

The rest of your plans for that evening sound good, hope you get do Splash with Nicki

 

[MHTeacher]

Up next...will Grumpy and his wife last until midnight for EMH?

I sure hope so!

I'm a little late, but hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday!

 

[tinacaplan]

Great update, Kathy! Loving all the pictures. My Mark and I had a particularly wonderful moment at the Hall of Presidents in February. Wishes makes me cry, too...I think it might be because of the wonderful memories I have of my dad taking me to see all the Disney movies when they had runs in the theaters. It kind of makes me wish Disney still did that...I saw most of the classics for the first time in a real theater and I think there's a lot to be said for that experience. Oh, well...technology!

Of course, Illuminations makes me cry...the Hall of Presidents makes me tear up...well, you get the idea!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

i love your hauted manison pics they are great I totally know what you mean when crying during wishes-- i also get so chocked up too its so emotional!! Only a disers would understand It truely is the most magical disney feeling can't wait to hear more

 

[that's nice]

Hi Kat....


I really like the picture of SM. It looks like the log is going right into those thorns!

As you know from my TRs, I always get choked up during Wishes. I can totally understand the feeling of seeing those fireworks with my 2 favorite girls.

I think you will stay for EMHs!!!!!
