any relation to Mrs. Bennett?

OH! Maybe the new Smart car he reserved?

 

[lillygator]

I think the smart should be named something like Mr. Finklestein.

Besides cruisewear, I also need to buy a new piece of luggage...actually a large new piece of luggage. When my son flew out west in Nov I loaned him my large suitcase, they had planned on coming home for a visit before the cruise, but unfortunately that won't be happening. So, I need to replace it. I don't want to spend a fortune, but don't want it to fall apart after one or two trips either. Anyone have any brands they would recommend. My set is Swiss Army and I have had some issues with it, won't buy that brand again. Thanks!

My DH has been using Berghaus luggage for years. It appears to be indestructible.

I'm a recent convert to Eagle Creek. It's extremely light and comes with a lifetime guarantee, so I'm expecting it to wear well.

I am not having any luck with Dillard's....Sears is open and says the mall is open but The Disney Store, nor Dillard's is answering. Bummer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN

maybe for our next trip we'll try out some eagle creek stuff but I want to save spending money right now.

I'm 29 today as well. We are off to brunch with family. It seems odd to be sharing a holiday with a birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORK

Enjoy Your Special Day

Hope All Your Dreams And Wishes Come True

Too true! I think if I get one, I'll name mine Egbert.

Happy Easter everyone!

Well, we had a fun night last night at the drive in - saw Horton and Alvin and both were very cute. DH and I really like Alvin and the chipmunks. The family who created them have been our students for many years.... can you say wealthy? But it was so much fun to hear the music and one of my old comics was in the film too.

The Easter bunny came to our house this morning and delivered a basket full of goodies - princess 8 ball, Cinderella robe, some fancy chocolates and other little goodies. But mom and dad hid eggs filled with clues for a mystery egg hunt all over the house that led to the mom and dad Easter basket filled with Pez and a big Daisy Duck hat and other goodies. It was lots of fun. I'm off the DL to hunt down Linda and Jamie now.

Have a fun day today and...
a very Happy Birthday Marilyn and Cork!

Happy Easter everyone.

DH and I were chatting earlier about how we celebrate Easter differently in the UK and the US (in the non-religious sense).

We don't have a tradition of the Easter Bunny as a giver of gifts (well, not that I'm aware of). We do have bunnies as a symbol of Easter, but the natural, small, furry type, along with chicks. We don't do Easter baskets but instead have Easter eggs - an egg-shaped chocolate shell, often with candy inside or in the same box. When we were in the US last month I saw lots of Easter candy, but nothing that looked like our Easter eggs.

Can you post any pics, I'd love to see it. We try not to do much candy, but little gifts instead and specialty chocolates and marshmallows shaped like bunnies.

Kathe, I picked up two pieces of Jansport luggage last year, love them. There is shop on the upper level of Markville Mall, and they have sister shop in Scarborough TC lower level by Sears.

I asked to pay cash for both of mine and paid no taxes, i think on the larger suit case I also got 10% off.

Find a store, be sure to call ahead and see if they have what you are looking for and the pricing, most only carry the backpacks.

I hope everyone has a good Easter My DS woke up at 5am so excited made him go back to bed until about 8am then they hunted for eggs and looked at their baskets had breakfast and we are heading off to church soon(didn't make it to the early service ). I'll be making a honey ham later today and probably watch a movie. Yesterday we went to Peter Piper and the kids had a blast ...I'm so sad spring break is almost over it flew by and there was so much we wanted to do We got to see Enchanted(my DK loved it DD and I saw it in the movies with my parents) and Bee movie and hoping to see the new Dr. Seuss movie soon...sounds cute. We have no family out here so it will be a quiet but fun Easter for us Enjoy your day everyone!

We do both styles here, many of the candy companies put out candy filled large chocolate eggs. Then there are all kinds of other candies and chocolates themed for easter. We do the hunt on Sunday morning.

well I took a DIS break and folded a load of laundry tossed the wet into the dryer and started another load. John is making omelets. Yum!

The girls are in their swimsuits and are anxious to jump in the pool.

Happy Easter to one and all.

To Marilyn and Cork!​
