If this works before I crash it will be a miravle but here goes... I am typing as fast as my fingers go and not looking at the screen , so forgive any typos!
Blooming pc is playing up again big time. Been trying to get on the internet for 2 hours without joy..go run a hot bath, come back and the blooming thing is working! - maybe its me - perhaps its allergic to me!
Anyway, Jeff - apologies for the massive multiquote but here goes!
Great pictures Karen.
You have a really nice house.
I really like the before and after of the backyard.
Thank you - lots of hard work but I agere the back garden is looking waaay batter now
Lovely Home! I especially love the Disney Touches in the Kitchen
Well spotted - as I was adding the photo I wondered who would mention them
Karen, awesome pics! Thanks for a lovely tour of your beautiful home! I love the street, is it cobblestone? That is so cool! And no wonder you munch on that nephew of yours

C-U-T-E!!!!
He's the cutest litle Munhkin isnt he (apart from Kira of course)
The road was originally a private road when the house was built 7 years ago, its what we call block paved - sort of like cobbles but smooth and butted up tight against each other - dont know what you call them? If it was a council owned road it would just have been tarmac
Great pictures, Karen, I love the crown molding that accents the tops of your walls. I think the back yard looks better w/out the trees. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Karen, I LOVE you home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks just perfect. i love all the trim and arches. The yellow color is so beautiful.
I amazed at the before and after pics of the garden. How wonderful!!!!
Thank you too!
Happy Birthday Missy!!!!!
I missed your birthday

- soooo sorry - Hope it was a good one
Karen: What a beautiful house you have. Congrats!!
Thank you three!
Speaking of tag I need to know everyones fave dis character please.
I do like Jimini Cricket
Does that mean I can join your group until tomorrow? I don't know a lot about these Dis boards but I know I love cruisin' with Mickey! I am a single Mom traveling with my 6 children and part of my DD's group from our adoption trip, so we are like a Family Reunion!
Marcia
Welcome! - join in any time.
Good Morning everyone. Heather, are you flying solo again from the UK? I think I'm going on strike until Linda posts again. Where's Karen and the Elusive Pimpernel?
I keep crashing

- i'm doing my best but my pc is likely to fly out the window soon - with my foot giving it a huge big kick
QOTD:
As you board the Magic, they announce your family.
For those of you who have been on before, how do you have yourselves announced?
For those going the first time, how do you plan on being announced?
I'll answer this one now.
We have them say, "All the way from Wisconsin, (DS full name) and his parents, Jeff and Suz".
He gets a kick out of that. Plus it is his cruise, we're just here to pay for everything.
How cool! - Ellis will love that.
house looks great karen but forgive me for saying this, the windows still look a little dirty .

better go over them 20 more times
(just kidding)
Dont even say it in jest

- they ARE still dirty - less smears but still smeary. Thought I'd got it sorted, but when the sun comes out so do the streaks

- still trying to find newspapaer without coloured photos believe it or not - every one I have had so far is all colour.
Hi there,
I'd just like to pop in and say hi...I'm a first time cruiser who'll be sailing on the Magic for the Oct. 20th Western Cruise.
I'll admit I haven't read this whole thread yet, so I hope I'm not just barging in. I just can't wait to cruise!
Jen
