@flyingdumbo127 Such great news. What a great birthday you will have. Now you can take care of your foot and be ready to go. Very happy for you and your Dad.

@bobbiwoz Nice to hear that Tom is doing well and Gus is happy.

@Judique The weather is crazy lately. I hope the sleet did not last long.

Here is it 31 with temps going into the low 40s. It is supposed to be very windy. Then tomorrow it will be in the mid 50s followed by 60s on Wed. I lost power last evening for about 10 minutes. After the fact they sent out a text saying power was out. Yes, we know. It was not that windy so not sure why the power went out. They said 2037 customers were affected which is probably most of the town. Yesterday was a quiet day. It was a tough day to get through. I did alot of walking. I decided not to make any meals for the week. I am just winging it this week with turkey or roast beef low carb wraps or a bean burrito. I am not in the mood to cook lately so I just won't. Kenny called to let me know they got all the days they needed for his dog in the kennel so I do not have to stay with his one night and then take him to the kennel. I am so thankful as he is a strong dog and I do not feel like I could handle him well enough. We are starting to make our plans for our cruise in August. We know what we are going to do in Bermuda and now just need to see what days will have the best weather for our plans.

Have a good day.

Good Monday Morning.

Wow, was it cold and windy yesterday. Nothing exciting weatherwise for this week, I think just normal temps and some rain here and there.

We went to our pancake breakfast yesterday at the lodge of one of our county parks. All you can eat pancakes and sausage for $10 per person . Mia didn't waste any time eating her share. She didn't even wait for Evan & Bailey to bring her back a plate, she started in on Jacob's pancakes.

Was planning to do my ironing yesterday but ended up cleaning the house and litter boxes so I didn't feel like standing to iron for an hour. I'll do one day this week.

Dumbo - so glad you get to go to Disneyland soon!!!! I've never been to California so take lots of pictures to show us!

Have a great day!

Good morning! No precipitation here, just sunny, windy and 39°. March has come like a Lion for sure here in Cape May!

My Houston family is on Spring Break in Columbia. DS sent this message this morning, giving us today’s itinerary. It’s 1100 steps up!



@flyingdumbo127 , so happy to read about your plans!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Llama Alpaca at Tamba del Inka Marriott in Urubamba, Peru near Machu Picchu. I guess I should clarify that they are live.

I have no idea. I was going to go look later on but slept til Morning!

Good morning. Still a bit windy, and cold, but temps will start climbing by afternoon. We had some snow last night, there were some spots on the ground, and I saw the sanding trucks up and down the road last night, so the roads must have been slick. Tomorrow I'll be able to turn the heat off and open the windows again. It's crazy.

I watched the Oscars, ff'ing through the ads and boring speeches. It ended a few minutes early, but then again they started at 7 instead of 8.

Today is kitchen cleaning day. Emptying off the counters and wiping everything down. Then the stove, fridge and sinks. I'll throw the curtains in the washer just to freshen them up. Last will be doing the floors. It's going to take me awhile, so I'm going to get started.

Have a great day everyone!

I bought some already too.

I DVR'd them and did the same this morning, before I watched any news.

I started watching but was already tired of the same movie winning by 8:00, switched over and watched Coco. I like when you really don't know who is going to win but it's the same movie over and over (well 2 movies this year), same with music awards. I was happy with who won for best song.

I guess I should clarify that they are live.

Are they the hotel greeters? Better yet, are you allowed to pet them? If you can, I would just sit down next to them and pet them for hours. If people want a picture, they'll need to deal with me being in it also.

The hotel does special stuff daily for the guests and I think this is one of their attractions but they are not always there. One day it was a sauce making demonstration or class. Another day they went joy riding (my words) on 4 wheelers. These activities are included in a fee you pay.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I am very thankful to share that I will be seeing Dr. B Friday at 2--my preferred day and time this week. The receptionist R, who
answered the phone, gave me the doctor's email address so that I can briefly reach out to share the reason for my visit and X Ray beforehand. I will share any reply and of course an update afterwards. Dad will be seeing Dr. S, a different podiatrist, Thursday morning. Dad and I both, God willing, are taking huge healing steps and toward being able to go see in May. We are so blessed and thankful. Hugs to all, always.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Very happy for you and your dad! @flyingdumbo127 !

My family made it up the steps!

That's quite a climb! You have a happy looking family!

Two years ago, DD visited Columbia. She went to Barranquilla.

Good morning. Woke up to no internet so had to reboot. It went out during the night. Maybe due to the wind but the wind lessened as the night went on. It is 35 here now and heading to around 50. I hope the sun stays out today. I went to BJs yesterday in my town. My company gets a cut rate for membership so for $20 I thought I would check it out. I doubt I will renew as it really isn't for me. I did buy peanut butter, storage bags, and a book. The BJ's in Kenny's town is better so I will check them out. Books are a good price so I can make up the membership cost with those. Today I am hoping to go to the gym after work.

Off to work. Have a good day.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We’re having corned beef today with DSis and her Honey. We travel to WDW on Sunday, and today is the day that worked for out St Patrick celebration together. It’s in the crock pot.

Sunny, and not quite as windy today.

We’ll do some grocery shopping, and then SVdP meeting this afternoon.

I checked Orlando’s forecast for next week, and it doesn’t look like swimming weather. The best day is Sunday, our travel day. Tuesday, rain…then highs only in 70’s. Oh well! We are there for Flower Show experiences!

I hope everyone has a good day today!

I'm not a fan either but I may join as I have a free membership offer that's good until May 5th.

I joined on an Amex free offer a few years ago and they've been sending me offers to rejoin ever since I closed that membership.

Right now I have a Sam's and a Costco as well. Costco is where I shop but I joined Sam's on a free offer because I could gas up cheaper driving to and from Disney. Then, we kept a membership by alternating with myself and my DD. Last time, we got a year for $10. I have to check the expiration date or they'll charge us again. I'm pretty good at keeping on top of it.

Costco, on the other hand, sometimes has a membership deal, but it's better for me to just continue as I get good value, such as the recent Disney Gift Card deal over Christmas. I was able (with family as my son and DD also have memberships) to pay my DVC dues in full and stash some extra for my upcoming trip. Those savings easily paid for my black card membership. The other 2 also have DGC but the deals are rarely even close.

I'll be watching for your reports! We will arrive on the 25th, but don't check in until the 26th since 3 people are flying and I'm driving. I've got rooms booked at the airport since those flights arrive just before 10pm and it's easier for them to just come to my rooms.
