Good Afternoon All - just returned from a beautiful but cold dive....made me think about the diving in the Pacific - might rent that wetsuit after all.

Today was what I call an "aquariam" dive - because that is exactly like what it was - so many colourful fish.....

Our experience is the Bahamas' postal system is slow and unreliable. It takes many weeks for postcards to be delivered, if at all.

They would probably arrive sooner if you mailed them from L.A.

It's just a thought.

Woody

I can second that!

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Dear Tammy! Don't worry, somehow, you will get a Palo brunch! I have a ressie for my DH and myself. We will give you ours if we need to!

Connie

Oh Connie! You don't have to do that. But, I do love the idea of putting a section in the Mini-Navigator for those who want to join others for Palo or those that want to share a ressie, If I get a ressie I will post it here for a dinner or brunch buddie!

Cars

Back home from running errands, which included stopping at a couple of car dealers.

We had a horrible experience at Toyota. I had made an appointment to do some test drives. I spoke to someone over the phone during the week and asked for an early appointment. They gave me one for 9:00 AM.

Sukie worked last night and got home at 1AM. So, still tired I dragged us off to be at the dealer at 9:00 AM.

No sales people. They're all in a meeting and won't be available for 30 minutes or so. I asked, then why did you give me a 9:00 AM appointment. Why didn't you just give me a 9:30 or 10:00 AM?

I may be odd, but I am too busy to sit around and waste time.

I ended up leaving the dealership.

I did stop in at the Smart dealer again and also stopped in at a Honda dealer to see a fit.

I put myself down on the secondary waiting list for the Smart, as there may be an "orphan" that comes available in a month or so.

Arts and Crafts with Ian

Boys and girls, you know that magnetic sheets can be very expensive, especially if you make a mistake, or want to make many, many signs.

OK, boys and girls, on today's program, we are going to look at a really inexpensive way to make door signs for our cabin doors.

Here's what you will need:

1. Heavy weight photo printer paper

2. Magnetic business cards. Your mom or dad probably have some that they have received from local businesses. I myself have lots of these.

3. Sticky-back Velcro strips

Cut about 6 to 8 squares out of the sticky-back Velcro strips. You may want to ask mom or a grown-up to help you with the scissors. You are going to want pairs, the fuzzy part and the part with the little plastic hooks.

Cut squares out of the magnetic business cards, the same size or slightly bigger than the Velcro squares.

Carefully peel the backing off of one of side the pairs, perhaps the hook side, and stick each one to a magnetic squares.

Now you can print a sign on the heavy photo paper.

Now peel the the other side of the Velcro pairs and stick them to the sign you made.

You now have a magnetic sign.

To make more signs, just print more sheets. You will only need half the Velcro as you can reuse the side of the Velcro stuck on the magnets.

Presto! You know have signs, made for just pennies!

On our next program, boys and girls, we're going to make a working model of the Disney Magic out of milk cartons, pipe cleaners and jelly jar lids.

See you next week kids!

Ian, you make it so easy to smile in a day of non-smiles.

On Tuesday 6th, just before I check in online for our flight on the 7th and we head off to the airport.

The other day I started to worry a little, thinking to myself, how on earth will I catch up with the Thieves thread after 3 weeks away! Then I remembered ......

OH, NOW THAT"S GREAT! THAT"S SOMETHING I WOULD DO!!!

 

[lillygator]

oh Ian, my girls think I am nuts...I am laughing out loud. Love it....so, now are you going to commit to arts and crafts day on the ship?

 

[cquick]

Just came back from Jewel.

In Chicago, there are Dominicks People and there are Jewel People. Anyone from Chicago knows what I'm talking about.

We are most definitely, Jewel People.



.

When I lived in Sterling, Illinois there were Eagle's people and Kroger's people. I was an Eagle's person. Now both are gone. I don't know where they shop,probably Walmart and Country Market.

 

[lillygator]

Here I think there is only Publix people! We have one ALbertson's and one Winn Dixie....the WD is in a very bad part of town almost in Bradenton anyway and also can't forget Sav A Lot's....!

 

[lillygator]

I picked up socks and undies for John, got some first aid stuff and am now working on packing. I think everyone is well outfitted but me. I bought a formal to wear the other night a whopping $22.50 on clearance at Dillard's. It is short though. All the nice dresses I posted that my mom bought me are sooo not going to fit.

 

[cquick]

Turkey in the oven? Boy or girl?

Don't you mean a bun in the oven?

 

[lillygator]

omg. the girls are practicing gymnastics.....

 

[cquick]

Connie I do look forward to meeting you and your family. You are such a kind and generous person. You are a treasure among friends.

I so agree. A very special person.[/quote]


UH OH!! I had better start saying some rotten things......that sounds like WAYtoo much to live up to! ( you do know I drink, don't you? AND gamble? and beat my kids? )

 

[lillygator]

that's all we need...a broken bone before the trip. Samantha is sooo bossy. She is signing Haley up.
The Easter stuff was all clearenced and I got a HSM and Pirate dry erase board for 0.25. and a 12 pack of princess crayons for 0.25....the marker in the set is already done.....
