Just thought I'd check in with you ladies.

Been back from Victoria a few hours now after tearfully releasing my daughter to her airplane. I thought I wasn't as bad as last year but my DH assures me I was! I had witnesses this time, the mother of Brynna's friend who is also going and Brynna's friend Tabi who we took with us to say her goodbyes.

Right now Brynna is enroute to Seattle and will arrive at 7:20 am and then it all begins again, first stop after apartment assignment is WalMart. I know she'll be calling me tomorrow, just hope it's not toooooo early.

How are things going with you all? Did Shanan find summer employment? Any further plans on your WDW trip?

Take care, talk soon!

Good morning Marjorie!

I'm sure Brynna's excitment to go back will be what gets you through the summer!

Shayna and Shanan are actually enjoying a Disney reunion of sorts this weekend...a bunch of Canadian guys and the two of them are spending the weekend in Toronto - going to see Pirates, etc. A couple of them actually flew in from the West so they can all commiserate on the fact that they're not heading out today.

Shayna did call and say the movie was fantastic!

Enjoy your day ladies! Talk soon!

Ohhhh Madge...I cannot say I envy any goodbyes again :-(
I know Brynna is delighted to be going but oh why must they always go away from home?!?! Shanan mentioned doing some courses on a cruise ship the other day and I thought ugh, here we go again....

Nothing permanent employment wise. A few assignments here and there really...and I think that's perfect. Shanan has a tremendously heavy workload through the school year and I would be happy for her to just take a little work here and there to keep her from getting stir crazy and relax and enjoy the break before entering her final year. She may go over to France to see a friend that is doing a course there outside Paris through UofT for a month. I keep telling her to go, even if only for 10 days or so....her friend is finished class every day at noon and has wknds off so they could have a blast! She continues to 'ponder' the thought

Still doing Disney but we are flipping back and forth between earlier in Aug and later in the month. Shanan has committments back at Queens and we are not 100% sure of when she needs to be back yet so that is holding us up. I keep saying to plan it early in the month to avoid complications but it has always been traditionally an end of summer thing we have always done soooooo here we are,sitting on the fence! Shelby is even coming albeit VERY reluctantly and we had to bribe her with a few days at the Beach prior to getting to WDW. Gotta do what you gotta do!

Will be looking for reports here Marjorie all about Vista Way and Wendys and all that good stuff again!!! Hope all goes as splendidly as last year!

How are you Bonnie? I know how Shayna is doing as she is with Shanan at the big Disney reunion!!!!! I haven't heard one word all wknd from them so I imagine they are having a blast! They had a perfect day yesterday for Wonderland didn't they? I think it's awesome that from far and wide, they all keep in touch and make the effort to meet up. Keep those memories alive!

Well, better make myself useful around here today. Kitchen is on the home stretch now, finalllllly. Flooring being done Jun 25-29 then the cabinets after the Canada Day wknd. Terry ripped apart the fireplace in the family room yesterday so we can prepare for a Gas insert...I tell you, these things really snowball and now pretty much, the whole lower level has had 'something' done to it! Not sure how that happens...but it does!

Have a great day ladies!
Tell us all about Brynna and the Diz!
Byeeee

How Brynna is settling in Marjorie?
Waiting to hear all about it! How are you doing?

Shanan is slow to recover from her weekend Dizzing! How's Shayna Bonnie? The 'funks' are alive and well and living here let me tell u! Very anti-climactic!

Just wanted to pop by and see what's doing!

Hi ladies.

Brynna seems to be settling in just fine. She's actually in an apartment with 5 other Canadians, her roomie is the girl she travelled down with, who she's known since birth. She already knew she didn't have to do the social security card thing again but also found out she didn't have to do Traditions as well. Therefore she's had a little more free time to get all the stuff she needs and do all her errands. Her last day of freedom is tomorrow then starts a 6:30 am shift on Friday to do her recert. (if all goes well).

She's having a lot more fun with her new roommates, she actually attended a Vista Way sponsored pool party last night which she never did last year as her then roommates didn't want to go.

She booked our room at Pop for 10 nights at the end of July and now I just have to deal with the airfare and car rental.

Any decision on when you're going down to WDW Karen? Done your CSC rally yet? We had ours on Sunday. Fortunately short but sweet, although I do like to hear Fred Mercer speak, he does it very well.

Take care!

Marjorie

Hello ladies!

That sounds much easier than last time around...great! The roomies sure can 'make or break' it that's for sure and it seems as if there's good chemistry so that is half the battle!

Did you know Bonnie, that Shanan & Shayna are plotting getting back there yet again?? I know Shanan wants the yr long Internship..one of the guys that they hung with this past weekend is off this week for an Intern. Not sure how that all works tho? They are also bugging ne to find air to Ireland again...guess they are itching to see Kev? haha..

We have our rally next week...June 6. I usually try to be away..lol...but here I am! Oh well..free dinner and some giggles with the girls?

No, dates still not 100% Marjorie. Waiting on info from Queens. I would really like to go sooner in the month...but we'll see.

Well girls, enjoy the day! Hope it's a good one for all...
Keep us in the loop Marjorie!

Byeeee
Karen
