Hello and thanks for posting!
You've got me thinking about trifle so much I just might offer to make it and take to the sis-in-laws for Easter
Kay - those are amaaaaaaazing pictures!
Maybe they should start having "adult slide" time like they do in the community pools when only adults are allowed to swim. Perhaps more of us older whipper snappers would be lured out of our chairs. I'd be up there with you but I would have talked you into going more than once.
"false sense of security" - Oh no....what could possibly happen to dear sweet Kay and Lowell?
Suzflee: Oh boy, let me know if you made the yummy chocolate trifle.
I would love to see adult waterslide time. It would be so much fun to see how many of us geezers would literally take the plunge if a whole bunch of other adults were going, too.
As for my foreshadowing of doom, I have to give you something to fret about since you no longer have the tweed bag mystery to provide suspense.
Kay, I have been slacking and just read your last 3 installments. The Ghetto was a riot, as was your high heels. Too funny. Tea was wonderful. Your manners were just fine in my book. No one throwing themselves on the floor in a tantrum always sounds good to me. The trifle looks to die for. I'm making a trifle for Easter, and can't wait for it now. I always make a little bowl for me while preparing.
I've always wanted to do hoop de doo, and can't wait for your review. thanks.
mikamah: Another Easter trifle? How come the only people I know who eat trifle are here on the DIS? I need some new friends or family. People who know how to make trifle! Im glad you liked the last few episodes and I hope my account of Hoop-De-Doo will be a Hoop-De-Doozie!
Hi Kay!
Loved your review of afternoon tea, but I must say that Lowell's selection makes my intestinal tract cringe. I'll stick with the tea sandwiches and scones...pinky elevating of its own accord while I type.
oybolshoi: I guess the commercial Try it youll like it, may be appropriate here. I was surprised that he ordered the pates, and even more surprised that they tasted pretty good. Not as good as scones or trifle, but carbohydrates of all kinds have always been my weakness.
I've just shut my eyes, enjoyed the sun streaming through the window onto my computer and I was actually there with you....THANK YOU!!!
2ScottishPrincesses: Thats so nice to hear. I need the virtual vacation, too, because it is actually snowing here today on the 7th of April! Yikes!
Kay, my favorite (and only) sister!
I totally missed the tea episode among work issues!
Loved it! Love tea. Tea reminds me of Moo too, LOL. You are a fabulous writer!
I am almost caught up with the comments from that installment, so I have to send a DING DING DING now before moving onto the latest one. So as not to deprive you of you DING dues!
Backstage_Gal: I couldnt have a nicer virtual sister. Alas, youre about as far from my home as my real sister. (sigh). Im glad to hear the Tea episode brought back memories of the nice time you had at Tea with Minnie_Moo. I hope you like the next episode. When you worked at the Lodge, did you ever go down the slide?
Doesn't this cashier ever have a day off to go home to her hive??
What about Sage Advice # 3: Be prepared to end up in someone's trip report!
Good for you! We didn't buy our picture either.
Sounds like you had a very good location for your table! We were right behind the piano player. How far in advance did you make your reservations? I'm glad we got to see the HDDR before they implemented the new seating tiers they have now.
Did you notice I mastered the art of the multiple quote?! Thanks for the great instructions!!
Liz: Hurray! You are a multi-quoting maniac now! I love it! And I loved your quote, Doesn't this cashier ever have a day off to go home to her hive??
I made the reservation three or four months in advance. I am not exactly sure, but I know it was no where near the recommended six months. I was glad too we got in on the end of the old price structure, otherwise sitting on the main floor would have cost extra. I felt sorry for the people up in the balconies, especially the ones who had their backs to the stage.
Kay I am a Tea loving water slide trying kinda girl too!
Loverly photos. Gotta run, time to dye some eggs! If I take too long getting to the kitchen the kids (or worse Mr Silly) might try to set up the dye themselves.
HaleyB: Welcome to water sliders Anonymous. We meet the second Tuesday of each month. And we have tea and scones at our meetings.
Great installment - it pains me that you stop right before HDDR!!! It is a favorite of mine, and I've been wondering for a while what you and Lowell will think of it. I don't consider it an every trip activity, but every 3 years works. Altho' come to think of it, I saw it last year... and 2004... but before that, I was still a teenager! So 20 years between shows! Oh, well... can't wait for your take on it!
tiggerbell: Sorry for the suspense, but this episode was already pretty long, and I KNOW you dont want me to whip through my Review of the Revue!
And speaking of already pretty long. I'm going to stop here and catch the rest of your comments later before this turns into a novela in itself.
That turkey!!!
It was fun to hear your take on trying the slide at Wilderness Lodge, since I was too shy and too chicken to use it.
