[jlawall]

Loved the weather this w/e and today!! It truly was a blessing....Spring is finally here!!

 

[jlawall]

Where is Traycee???Recently, we heard from Ali, but, some of our OTHER ladies are MIA, in fact, where is Bri and Tara for that matter???

 

[lwilliam]

Where IS
Tray Tray?

Bri Bri?

Allie? Allie?


FIFTEEN YEAR olds....you can have 'em! (don't ask!)

 

[jlawall]

Lucky, I know, I know..............

 

[lwilliam]

at 4:00 Bob, Lucky and Tyler are going to see Michael Eisner - he is speaking on campus...excited about seeing him.(of course I was NOT invited to the dinner afterwards - you would think, for all the money we have given this man, in the past, the Williams Family would have been invited, instead of all the big-shots on campus!)

It is a question and answer period...I have my Mickey earrings on and Mickey necklace (like he will notice!)
THEN, we must run out of that talk, grab food somewhere, and Tyler's spring concert is also tonight. It is "one of those nights"

 

[LynnTarrant]

Way longer tham Lucy's 22nd June or Jen's May date!!! in fact I finish on the 25th JULY!!!!!

[DisneyMom13]

Sorry I have been missing in action for awhile. First let me say:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO TYLER, LYNN AND ALICE

I have been real busy at work, at the end of March I did an All Day Crop, it was a charity crop for Autism. I vended at the crop and was also on the committee. We raised over $6,000. It was awesome. Then the weekend of April 13/14, I did my first Expo in NJ. I was very nervous, kind of putting all my eggs in one basket, it was a lot of work, well worth it, my sales for the w/e were over $6,000. Awesome!

We just booked Disney for this summer. Unfortunately, we only have an 11 day window of time to play with. Alex is taking a summer class that goes until the end of June, and Briana will probably be in SS, which goes from July 12th through August 18th. Alex's friends will all be down there working during the month of June, and she needs to get back and work for a week before August 11th to keep her CM status. So, this will be a working vacation for her. She is not very happy about it, but there is no other choice. I would rather go somewhere else than Disney this year, but again, no other choice. I just booked Saratoga Springs for June 30th through July 7th. That was the only thing available, not happy about that either, but at least it's not All Star We are on a wait list for BWV, BCV and WL, but since it is so late, I doubt any of these will come through for us. So sorry, Lucy but Allie will not be there when you guys go.

Debi

 

[jlawall]

Welcome back, Debster!! So jealous.........would love to surprise you with a visit to WDW (but we can't!) Too many trips to see Tara this winter!

Maybe everyone could consider going down for a quick trip the w/e of January 10 - 13? Ken and I are registered for the HM at WDW (he's really running, I'm walking and hoping to not come in last!) If anyone else wants to "go for it," please DO! I'm going to try to train alittle for this one and MAYBE LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!

Happy w/e to all.................heard from all my girls.........they're doing well.....

 

[lwilliam]

Debi is back

BOY, would we love to be down there when you guys are there, but that week Tyler and Lucy are working at the Kutztown Folk Festival....I'm starting my part-time jobs already!

JENNY, girl, are you guys still doing NY? I'm holding that weekend for either NY or the beach!

Does anyone want to do Las Vegas? BOb really wants to go there for his
50th birthday this year, and someone else is turning 50 this year too (ME? naw, I'm still 39! ).
The more the merrier - don't ask me when, though. Set it up with Bob, remember, I will be retired.

OH, LYNN, sweetie...we still couldn't do the eastbound canal cruise, that is the time Bob starts his meetings with the kids for the high school musical, and Tyler has his first week of school (not that he is going along)....it is just bad timing for US, and such good timing for YOU.

 

[jlawall]

Hey Lucky.........let's plan the LV scenario...............

 

[lwilliam]

plan it with Bob, remember I am the one that is free FOREVER, sort of.

Tonight, a dreaded night. It is our Berks County Music Festival. Yes, we beg Tyler to audition, yes, we are proud of him when he ''makes" it, but when tonight comes, we are so bored....it is ONE LONG NIGHT....First the orchestra plays, then the chorus sings, then the band plays....we are going to TRY to skip out after the chorus sings.....
At least this is the ONE time during the year I get to see my son in a suit

 

[jlawall]

Another beautiful weekend......weatherwise...........The girls are all coming home for the BIG BIRTHDAY celebration.........Ken's hitting 5-0 on the
7th....sheesh!

WTG, Tyler............

Hope all are well!

 

[jfis1020]

a beautiful weekend! I was kind of lazy today, but did, of course, work on the which is a never ending task!

It has been great to hear from Tracy, Lynn, & Debi!!!!

Our trip is tentively set for July 13-18 (or 19). While we are not sure, we are planning three nights at the Grand Hyatt at Grand Central Station (thank you Hyatt points program) and maybe three nights at the Shelborne-Murray Hill (thank you DVC!). Mark still needs to call Member Services to book that, so we are still unsure there too. Right now, we have decided to bag the Boston/Cooperstown end of the trip. We will probably fly into LaGuardia (great rates out of Columbus OH!!!) and will not rent a car. We plan on relying on public transportation the whole trip. I will see a Reds game on Fri. or Sat. while Mark (and probably John) will see Fri.-Sun. We plan on all going to see the Yankees on Monday. The rest will be sightseeing, maybe a Broadway show, and any other trouble we can get into. John says no Broadway for him! Marshall is still hung up on Wicked, but I am trying to convince him to see Mary Poppins, as is Mallory. Wicked is returning to Cincinnati in January, so I keep telling him maybe then. (I'd like to see Mama Mia myself, but that isn't really kid friendly, right?). So, that's the "plan" if you can call it a "plan"!!!

JoAnn - I would love to be at WDW in January and do the HM with you....seriously. I can't say that it will work out though. Mark and I (along with a group of friends who go to the Bengals games) are planning a trip to SB to see the Bengals and Miami. We are staying in Ft. Lauderdale (one of our friends has this all booked!). It is around New Year's, so we will just be getting back from Florida.

Tomorrow is Marshall's 2nd piano recital. He started in Oct. and has completed in 7 months what it usually takes her students 9-10 months. He loves playing so much. He will practice 30-60 minutes daily without even being asked or told!

Have a great rest of the weekend!!!

 

[lwilliam]

just a quick reply

Bob's long weekend off is July 13-15
JoAnn?
Debs?
Lynn?

Jenny, would you be willing to spend a Saturday with us?
or Sunday seeing a show and doing a tour on the Greyhound Sightseeing Bus...I need to (kindof) know your plans just to see if Bob needs to take Monday off too....OH, remember, Lucy will be off forever!

We really wanna see Mary Poppins, but if we could get half price tickets for another show, and you are at a game, I would pick Color Purple (I know, I know, I never wanted to see that show, but my friends have ALL loved it!)

We also need to book a hotel - we are bringing Tyler.....he won't care if John is at a game...for some ODD reason, he likes you OLD women just as much as the kids (well, I can't say for sure if he would pick you OLD woman over those gorgeous young girls, Allie, Bri, Tray Tray, Jess Jess, Tara Tara-he DOES have his priorities)

more later - going shopping - gotta buy a baby present for a baby shower in May - I'll be back

 

[lwilliam]

Bob here.
Since we now know Jenny is coming to NYC the weekend of July 14th , I have been on various websites checking for Mary Poppins Tickets. I was able to find availability for the Saturday night show (8pm)at the following prices:
Orchestra seats for $120 plus tax They are in row U, but in the center of the theater.
Balcony seats for $60 plus tax. They are in row D in the center of the balcony.
The matinee was sold out already!!!
This was for 10 tickets. I just used ten to come up with a location for a large quantity. If any of you want to commit to tickets, if you can let me know by Monday night, I will order and then you can pay me later.
Again, I don't know how long these tickets will be available, they may be gone by tomorrow night, but I am willing to try and get them. The balcony seats would be OK with us, but whatever the majority wants, we will do.
We will be booking our hotel later, but if we wait any longer, you won't get Mary Poppins tickets. Let me know Jenny, JoAnn, Debs, Lynn?

 

[DisneyMom13]

So when can I live in a place where they don't smash pumpkins or steal mailboxes. Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen, we woke up this morning to find our mailbox gone, just gone. Now I have seen everything. Micco went out early this morning, and called me right after he left because he thought he was seeing things and asked me to check, and sure enough, the mailbox was gone.

BobAs for the show on the 14th, I will check with the boss, and get back to you on that.

Debi

 

[jfis1020]

Well...........Here's the deal. After careful discussion earlier today I think I am going to have to keep my plans flexible for Fri.-Sun. The whole intent of the trip is to definitely see Shea and Yankee Stadiums (since they are the venues to be replaced soon). The problem is weather. I am thinking on attending Shea on Friday, but if it would happen to rain, then I would need to rely on Sat. night's game. I hate (and downright refuse) to go Sunday with the kids. They are so spoiled as our seats (as Bob and Lucy know) are covered in Cincinnati. Shade makes the world of difference! They would never make a day baseball game in the sun. WDW, yes...baseball, no!! Both Friday and Sat. are night games.

Now, I do want to hook up with everyone. So, why don't you guys get tickets on Sat. as planned and we'll make plans to meet and do something that weekend. I am going to have 6 days to hit a show. Seriously, go ahead and get your tickets. We can plan on getting together Sat. or Sun.

Debi.....we woke up once to tire tracks through our yard before where someone took joy rides through all our yards just missing trees, mailboxes, etc. Can you believe people??? Maybe without a mailbox I would quit getting bills and other "junk" mail!!!
