May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 9

Thank you.

I'm stressing trying to figure out outfits for the boys. I went to Hanna Andersson today and got matching bathing suits/suit top and light weight sweatshirt. And it was over $400!! For bathing suits! I have been searching on the web for matching outfits that aren't that much and not having any luck. The photo I posted was shirts I got on sale at Macy's. It is always a hit and miss to try to find all sizes in something cute and cheap. I suppose I could give up on the idea of matching outfits, but I so love seeing them all matched up! Plus, it makes it easier not to lose them!

I'm much luckier.my guys are all grown up and won't wear matching anything! I got Patrick 5 pairs of Nike shorts and 2 pairs of trunks at BJ's Warehouse Club and Chuck bought a pair of trunks too. I got us matching 2003 DVC members cruise tshirts.....I guess we could have our photo's in them.....but most likely we won't wear them all on the same day!

Patrick doesn't fit well into a suit or tux anymore, but he has a lovely black cashmere sweater that will be his "formal" wear!

I know we have talked about the History Channel's Modern Marvels show on the Panama Canal but has anyone seen the NOVA one? It is called: A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama and is hosted by David McCullough, the author of the Path Between the Seas. DH and I got the DVD and watched it last night. It is a very good synopsis of the book with videos, etc. Made me want to go all that much more.

The History channel show on the Panama Canal is showing again on Wednesdsay, April 2 at 7:00am eastern.

Corinne, I love the door magnet, make sure you put some identifying mark on it, so if it is "moved" you can claim it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm hoping it doesn't disappear. I may bring it in at night. I've made a second one just in case.

Just a quick question before we all head off for the cruise

When will the last time be that you will check the newsgroup before you head off?

I'll probably check just before we turn in early on May 8th (7 am flight out of Ottawa)

May 3rd or 4th. The day before I get on the plane.

These are our daughter's 4.

Don'r have any up to date ones of other 4 at the moment.

What lovely grandchildren!

This is a phrase I nothing in my experience has ever prepared me to hear.

.

We bleached the well last night (had some bacteria in the last test) so we drained it this morning. It's all good now! I will just have to take another sample in to make sure. Now looking out the window waiting for the hail, snow, rain or whatever will come today. So far it is clear this morning. Weather report last night was another few days and then our real spring should arrive.

Unfortunately, I knew EXACTLY what "bleaching the well" is! We had our own well in Illinois.....although we never had to bleach it, we did have shale...had to run the pump for 2 solid days......just to clear it.

Besides, John. You prefer beer to wine, and I have no talent in picking that out, can't stand it. I can share my juice box with Amy, if she is into rabbits.

wasn't that the sleep out for the pin fiasco? After that night, they changed the way they did special pins!

I'm behind so maybe this has already been answered--

I'm interested in getting the pins for this cruise and I've heard references to the "pin fiasco" from last time but don't really know anything about it, or how it will be now to buy the special pins.

Can anyone out there enlighten me? TIA!

HI THERE!!!! IT's MARCH 30th and you know what that means!!!!

I'm having a mini break in my wonderul day of celebration.

I slept in and joined my pals Venetia and Bubba (and the rest of the gabby three and children and sis) for breakfast at Storytellers.

We had a wonderful time and it was such a honor to have everyone come and play with me today. You are great friends

After breakfast we went to CA Adventure and did a few rides, said bye bye to V&B and then went to Dland and rode somemore and then we waved good bye to the gabby 2 and kids to ride home. Then Lee and I did a bit of shopping and just stopped at the PP bar and brought a before dinner before dinner drink (get it, this is the first of a few) we head to Napa Rose for din at 6:30 yum!!!

Wilson took 2nd in his race and he was jazzed. I miss my boys But I'll see them tomorrow night.

Going to go back and read now, doubt that I'll get all caught up but eventually I will, as I need to know it ALL....

I've read that there will be a form in our stateroom. You can order one set per person.

Our first movie was Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - still cracks me up!!

Shannon's and mine "special" movie is Stephen King's Pet Sematary.

You'll have to ask Shannon about that one...

Thnx PJ for modifying the graphic by adding the words.

I tried my hand at moving the two kingdoms so they better represent our trip.

It's not perfect and I wish some things had come out better, but here is the revised version with the kingdoms in the different places.

And of course the larger size: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2374966169_ddcf6d834c_o.jpg

Sounds like a great time Nan! I LOVED Napa Rose when we ate there in November. Bon Apetit!

I had an idea but my photoshop won't work with me. It was simple but I wanted to put a color on it and it will only let me do grey!

Make sure it is in RGB mode.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAN!!

Hope you are having an amazing day. Talk to you soon!

 

[pjpoohbear]

John, beer is just not enjoyable to me. I don't know what is it but I just don't like it, so why drink it, even when it was free. I have tried different kinds, special brew, micro brews, never liked any of them. Oh well.

I need help with a door magnet. All of these on here look so cute. I have no time to do one myself. (And no skills!) Disneylover5 (Lisa and Daniel) daniel would love a bowling character... Any ideas?
Thanks
Lisa

I'll add it to my list, to see if I can come up with anything, if no one else has by the time I get through everything. I only have 12 pages left to get caught up on!

 

[mishoe01]

I spent many hours today w/ Will & Mick.....Mick is definately a good luck charm! He picked out lots of tops and pants....most that actually looked good and fit well. I definately spent more $ than I usually do on clothes, but it's ok cuz I can wear all the outfits after I get home. SO...now all I have to buy are a few more shorts, and maybe a pair of shoes (or 2) and them I'm done!!! Everything is now in the guest room----waiting for when I decide to pack them.

We hit Dillards & Macy's....then lunch at Panera (yum!)

Now I'm watching "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" before heading over to PBS for "Sense & Sensibility" at 9pm. (Family is at WDW )

How is everyone tonight?

I'm also on ebay bidding on a few Danny Kaye movies.
