Happy Birthday Smidgy!!! Hope you are celebrating with some fuzzy cups (well after you hit Nebo over the head for that mean, mean post).

When you first typed Lime I also started to sing the song...before I scrolled down and saw you typed it!!

Beautiful sunset picture. Can't imagine it was much more beautiful in person...nice job! Great update.

Happy Birthday Smidgy!

As far as the Pina Colavas go-
When DH and I went to Disney on our honeymoon we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. One of the drinks that we really liked was a Pina Colada with a shot of Chambord on the bottom of the glass. Can't remember what it was called but we called them "Disney Smile" when we made them at home. Pina Colava is the same tastes but a Disney Smile has an extra kick Can't wait to have a few of those in a few weeks on our trip!

I do remember that Nilsson (1 l and 2 ss? 2 ls and 1 s?) song. My big sis bought the album (yes, I remember albums) and played it while doing dishes. My parents must not have been listening carefully, because they didn't say anything. For those too young to remember, let me just say CeeLo didn't invent "those" lyrics about love gone wrong.

Happy Birthday Smidgy!!!

Plenty of us younguns know the coconut song! It was in Reservoir Dogs!

 

[smidgy]

That's great, Nebo! Nothing better than Disney with the grandkids. Actually, we just have the one. The first trip was to the World 3 years ago, where we took her parents too. But since then, it's been just us 3 Mouseketeers (her, me, DW) taking two more trips to the Land, with another DLand trip coming up soon. Much, much better to skip the middle generation - DSS (step-son) and DDIL missed the Mouse gene.

Reminds me of that old saw - Why do kids get along so well with grandparents? ...

Common enemies.

I would love to go to WDW with JUSt the 2 of us and Jaskcon. he is 6 now, and so much fun! but our son is divorced, and gets him only every othere weekend and 2 weeks in the summer. I don't know if soemthing like that could be worked out between us and his "ex". but we might go this summer, our son, his new wife and Jackson.

but sometimes I do feel like a "cohort in crime" with the grandkids.! our son todd was over with jackson, it was rainy out, so Jackson andI started playing with a frisbee up and down the staircase. Todd got mad at me for teaching this to Jackson... I was, like, "hey! it's MY house! and we're having fun!"

 

[smidgy]

aw! thanks for all the birthday wishes! and thank you hubby, for your "little white lie"... (I am double nickels today.. oops, it's 1:09 am.. yesterday.... 55 sigh)

not a bad day.,.nebo did really good shopping this year! hubby bought me Toy Story 3!!! and a nice Disney(minnie) top, a tiedye shirt with a wolf's head, and a halloween shirt. and I like them all! and they all fit! (usually I have to make a trip back to Walmart to "rebuy" all my gifts)ok, in nebo's defense, my size tends to change from year to year.
I have a huge house I clean on Fridays, and he came with and did the vaccuuming for me! (I gave up trying to spell that word ages ago) It was a big help (and the only thing I trusted him with!)

at the restaurant tonight , Todd and Kim surprised me (the newleyweds) with my grandson jackson! so I got to spend some time with them. jackson recited the Pledge of Allegiance, which he will be reciting this week at school.. over the intercom!!! he must go to a good school!not only are they allowed to say the pledge, it even includes the "under God" part! yay!!! he recited it SO well! and only in kindergarten!

honey: "pop goes the Smidgy".. "whack a Smidgy"... you CRACK me up!!!

 

[mrsksomeday]

I am loving your trip report, we have never stayed at CBR, it looks really pretty. The sunset picture was gorgeous.

Happy Belated Birthday Diane, sounds like you had a great one!

 

[reelmom]

Sounds like you had a great birthday. Jackson sounds like a smart boy! I know you are proud of him.

LOL part of your rights as a Grandparent!!!.. get to spoil the heck out of them and send them home to their parents... my mom and dad do the same to us with our two girls.. they just smile and say pretty much the same thing!!!

aw! thanks for all the birthday wishes! and thank you hubby, for your "little white lie"... (I am double nickels today.. oops, it's 1:09 am.. yesterday.... 55 sigh)

Well i guess he didn't have himself in quite so much trouble after all!

Good Job Steve!!! Gifts and helping out with the house too!!! You trying to make the rest of us husbands look bad or something??

Sounds like a great Birthday all around.. The little moments like that are the most memorable. And glad to hear that your grandson's school actually lets them do the Pledge and do it like it was meant to be done... It's getting darned rare in our political correctness today!!

 

[pkondz]

Ya know, I plumb forgot to mention something. My DW has an October birthday. October 14th to be precise.

 

[jcc0621]

"Like a Superhero's", I replied.

"Huh?" she asked.

"THOR".

Then we went back up to our room, knowing that we are finally in DisneyWorld, AND SLEEPING HERE TONIGHT, but even more importantly, I don't have to touch the car tomorrow, at all!

Yay! Or is it?

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

YAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMIDGY! I'm glad you had a good one! But for your birthday you should have asked for another chapter... at least, that's what I would have asked for....
Anyway, Happy Birthday!

 

[lexmelinda]

Well thank you for entertaining me this afternoon! I now live in the land of Saturday afternoon football and there's only so much I can watch when my team's not playing.

I admit to skipping around a little. You're so popular now that there are pages and pages in between posts. And rightly so!

Hope all is well with you guys! So happy to hear you quit smoking! BRAVO!

Will you pick me up on your way down to WDW next time? I do miss it so.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Lexi, great to see you here again! Miss you and your recipes and Sunday morning posts.

But really, if you have to time, read the chit chat in between chapters, it's fun stuff!

 

[nebo]

I never heard this one. But after Googling it and reading the lyrics, Mrs. T and I had to go listen to it. We actually like that song. Now I can see why it almost got you kicked out. DW and I have that song stuck in our heads now thanks to you.

Ok, I can see finding the lyrics, but where did you find the song to be be able to listen to it? Doesn't I tunes only play a line of two from each song unless you buy it?

Happy Birthday Smidgy!

As far as the Pina Colavas go-
When DH and I went to Disney on our honeymoon we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. One of the drinks that we really liked was a Pina Colada with a shot of Chambord on the bottom of the glass. Can't remember what it was called but we called them "Disney Smile" when we made them at home. Pina Colava is the same tastes but a Disney Smile has an extra kick Can't wait to have a few of those in a few weeks on our trip!

What is Chambord? Not familiar with that one. One of the best drinks I've had at Disney was buying one of the margaritas from the stand by Mexico, sipping a bit out of there to make room, then, even though the frozen ice is still over the top, I take a straw and dig out a vertical tunnel straight down into the glass. '
Then I pour my little airplane bottle of Myers Rum into it, filling up the tunnel from the bottom up. Finally, cave the ice back into the tunnel. It made for more of a kick all the way down, with a knockout punch at the bottom.

Happy Birthday Smidgy!!! Hope you are celebrating with some fuzzy cups (well after you hit Nebo over the head for that mean, mean post).

Hi Nancy, great to see you again.

My parents must not have been listening carefully, because they didn't say anything. For those too young to remember, let me just say CeeLo didn't invent "those" lyrics about love gone wrong.

Yeah, and I have to wonder how many Woodstock albums were sent flying into a wall from a teenager like me not knowing that Country Joe and the Fish were going to start it off with the Fish cheer?

Happy Birthday Smidgy!!!

Plenty of us younguns know the coconut song! It was in Reservoir Dogs!

Was it really? I have that too, all I ever think about is Steeler's Wheels when I think of that movie.

I am loving your trip report, we have never stayed at CBR, it looks really pretty. The sunset picture was gorgeous.

Happy Belated Birthday Diane, sounds like you had a great one!

Tracy, I love you and Bill, but I don't think I'm going to come down YOUR highway again. That's right, your highway, rt. 5 7 . It was bad enough finding out on YOUR highway on the way down that it made my tire leak, but then it also acted as an acid on the exhaust system,,,,
not to mention what happens on our way, back!
So, from now on we're taking rt.65 through Indiana, thank you very much!
How's Bill?

Well i guess he didn't have himself in quite so much trouble after all!

See how that worked?
I fibbed in her favor, and people still yelled at me

Good Job Steve!!! Gifts and helping out with the house too!!! You trying to make the rest of us husbands look bad or something??

Great, so, the women are mad at me for posting her age, and now the guys are mad at me for being a good husband.

Once a year.

You've got that right, maybe they can straighten things out in the future without going way overboard the other way.

Ya know, I plumb forgot to mention something. My DW has an October birthday. October 14th to be precise.

Um, after all this birthday talk, it just now ocurred to you that yesterday was also your wife" birthday?
But good job with the last chapter, now I gotta get to work on a new one.

 

[nebo]

Ha! I knew somebody would appreciate my "Thor" joke.

Yay! Or is it?

Well, at that moment I was thinking I wouldn't have to take the car at all for anything, din't work out that way though.

YAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMIDGY! I'm glad you had a good one! But for your birthday you should have asked for another chapter... at least, that's what I would have asked for....
Anyway, Happy Birthday!

A second chapter? In one night? How much do you think I can drink?
You just sit there little Indiana girl.

Well thank you for entertaining me this afternoon! I now live in the land of Saturday afternoon football and there's only so much I can watch when my team's not playing.

Hi Melinda, I told you, if you just let me talk to your new husband we can change his Disney attitude, and start hiding away coins and change at night, it can really add up.

Lexi, great to see you here again! Miss you and your recipes and Sunday morning posts.

But really, if you have to time, read the chit chat in between chapters, it's fun stuff!

I agree. I totally skip the chapters now and just read the stuff in the middle. Hey, I can call it the "Oreo Trip Report".

 

[nowellsl]

Ok, I can see finding the lyrics, but where did you find the song to be be able to listen to it? Doesn't I tunes only play a line of two from each song unless you buy it?

youtube.com, you can see just about anything on there! I guess I'm showing my age, I remember it well There's a really awesome version where they're all dressed like gorillas.....

 

[mmeb144]

oops!

 

[nowellsl]

I missed the version with the gorillas, but here's a link, with the lyrics!



Enjoy!

OK, so unless I missed something (and I may have), I thought we were talking about the lime in the coconut song I don't think I've ever heard the song in your link, but it is interesting
