I'm back home & SO thankful we have power! The heat is back on, the turtle's filter is on, and we have running water (we have a well, so no power=no water). WOOHOO!

Bless you. I know how hard it is to be without power. I do pretty well till there is no water. I bet your weather is cold to boot too. Hope your day tomorrow goes much better.

As usual lovely photos April...

I'm so happy for you that your power wasn't out too long...

Hmmm...I'm just getting into facebook...didn't know it was an angry place...I'm kind of a live and let live person...no need for nastiness...

Good Monday morning April. Hope you have a great Monday

Isis is such a beautiful dog! What an adorable puppy.

Thanks! She has quite the personality, too! I just found your pre-pre trip report & caught up on 18 pages. I'm so happy you are still going in January!

Love all the pics! I can't wait to see all the holiday decorations in person next month.

You will love it- it is so amazing!!

Good morning April. All is good so far today. Yay to Friday. I only work till noon today. I love your pictures and that Isis is the sweetest puppy. I want to wrap my arms around her and let her lick me to pieces. She is huggable.

How fun to go to Washington. My boss is going mid Dec. for a week to some island. Just he and his wife. His daughter lives out there and they go every year, but this time they are doing this island instead. Glad cause he needs a vacay and glad cause he'll be out of the office. And he is going to Monroe the week of March 22. I can't stand it. Two vacays. So unlike him.

Have a great weekend. Sheri, Sharon and I are going for pedi's tomorrow and then lunch.

How were the pedis? Thank goodness you get 2 breaks from your boss. Now- if you can get that cruise in the Spring, you will have 3 breaks from your boss!

Morning April,

You are a fantastic photographer. Love the two of Isis. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks! I think it is just a luck/subject situation with the photos.
I'm loving your mini-TR within your TR!

Great photos! I should try to take more artistic ones of architectural details. Usually I just point and snap! Nice doggie pictures too. Isis looks like a really fun dog.

Thanks! She is a great dog, but WAY too smart. It is scary.

Happy Saturday!!! I love your pictures, I soooooooooo wish I had an eye for photography, I try, but I just don't have it . What breed is Isis? I love the pictures of her. Thank you about the weather, I'm glad it was just a bad rain storm, well except for my power going on and off............grrrrrrrrrrr. My niece actually moved to Boston several years ago. She got married in September. I'm not sure where she works, but I know she has something to do with the theatrical group called The Gold Dust Orphans.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Thanks! Isis is a mixed breed. I actually sent away for one of the DNA tests for her & they said her primary breed was "unidentifiable", but her secondary is American Staffordshire Terrier. I think she is an Australian Dingo. Just kidding- but that's what she looks like! Thanks again for your prayers with the power situation. I totally freaked out for a while, there.

Bless you. I know how hard it is to be without power. I do pretty well till there is no water. I bet your weather is cold to boot too. Hope your day tomorrow goes much better.

Thank you! So far, so good today. Have a great weekend!

Hey April, I hope the power has stayed on for you. I will be thinking about ya, have a great Tuesday.

Come to find out- an accident caused the outage!

 

[aprilisis]

I only have a few minutes, but I just wanted to update quickly- work has been CRAZY, so I haven't been able to update much. I have been spending endless hours at home scanning old photos for my Grandma's Christmas gift. Nothing much is new- except I put a down payment on a treadmill at Sears!!!
I'm off to IKEA soon & hopefully will not spend too much there. Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

 

[racefanof88]

April, glad to hear the power has stayed on. I hope no one was injured in the accident. I showed Dale one of your pictures of Isis and he said she looked like she has wolf in her. Now granted Dale is no vet........lol, but he does love dogs.

Have a great weekend .

Hi! April
hope things slow down for you...Isis does look like a Dingo...I never could place my finger on what she looked like but I have to agree with you on that one!
she is beautiful, that is for sure!!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

I have a really nice treadmill from Sears in my bedroom. Right now it is holding my robe and does a darn fine job of it. Keeps it off the floor and everything. I do have a picture of Austin moonwalking on it to show it does get used.

Have a great weekend.

Believe it or not, I saw ANOTHER accident on the way home last night!!! I would not be surprised if Isis DID have some wolf in her- she is VERY strong-willed.

I'm alive! I have had SUCH a busy week so far. I'm going to John's tomorrow for Thanksgiving & I'm excited, but nervous at the same time. I just hope everyone likes me!
I thought I would share some of the photos I have been scanning for my Grandma's Christmas gift (the photo DVD). So far, I have over 750 photos!!!

Me with Goofy in 2008:

This is me at my Dad's wedding at age 6:

I know I posted on here. Taking these pain pills have me goofy. Thats my excuse anyway......... I am sure you grandmother will love her Christmas gift. I know I would, because it takes a lot of love to do something like you're doing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I hope you have a great time at John's tomorrow.

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving April. We made our trek to Tennessee last night and Sandi has made breakfast and working on our dinner.

I love those pix. Your grandmother is going to love them. That one of you and goofy is awesome. Hope you have decent weather.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey April,

I love the photos......Don't you love finding old photos of people/relatives you don't know...it's like a great mystery...

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving...

 

[aprilisis]

I've been having such a busy week at work that I'm only able to update on my phone today. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I just had to tell you my news...Sue Ellen at Dreams Unlimited Travel got me an AP rate at Yacht Club for January! I love WL, but at the same time, I want to stay at each resort at least once. I've never stayed at Yacht or Beach club before! Plus it was only $20 more per night. I'm excited! I'm hoping to post replies & updates tomorrow. I'm still trying to keep up with everyone's trip & pre-trip reports, too. Ginny, you have some great photos from Ohana- I loved them!

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I hope it was a great one. John's house was a ton of fun! His family is very warm & they have a great sense of humor.

Thanks! The photos were getting me a little teary-eyed. I can't wait to finish the project & see it done, though.

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

ok April, Yacht Club. That is fantastic. See I know you guys are animal lovers as am I but give me a beach theme. I am so on it. That is awesome. I can't wait to hear all about it.
