Just got home an hour ago! I know I said I was leaving three days ago. It is a long story. And no I am not that slow of a driver.

I am home sitting here with my puppies, the house feels strange as my DH is still way on business so it is a very very here. I am going to try reading back and catching up.

Happy Mother's Day to all!




Ann

Welcome back! We missed you, well at least I did! I hope that your friend is doing better!

So I tell you that I am so nervous.... David is having his interview in 15 minutes. We talked and talked, I prepped him with interview questions, and he seemed pretty cool under the collar, but of course he knows me... But it has been 20 years since he interviewed for a job, normally he is the one interviewing, not being interviewed...


Oh well, fingers crossed!

Welcome back! We missed you, well at least I did! I hope that your friend is doing better!

Your post made me smile Alison I have really missed you all too. Sending you a PM Alison.


It was a good trip. They both now seem centered and much more calm. They now have some answers that they did not have before. My friends were ok with being lead without question into all the treatments and was afraid IMHO to speak up to the specialists and doctors. They ask me to go with them on every appointment and be in the room with them. When they saw me asking questions, taking notes, and questioning some of the treament....as to "is there other options". They both came to realize they had to become involved.

Due to the changes made (because they were not informing the specialists what all was going on with my friend) he is doing so much better with the treatment. He is looking better and eating healthy, as well as eating more. They love their back yard, which turned out fantastic...if I have to say so myself I also contacted some mutual friends we all have in San Diego so there is going to be more local support for them. I also contact a housekeeper I know from SD and she interviewed with my friends. I think it will be a good mix with her coming once a week to clean and do whatever else needs to be done. I am sure I will be returning at least once to SD before our WDW trip and will certainly keep in contact with them by phone until then. Please keep them in your prayers.

Ann,

Welcome back! Glad you are home safe and sound...

Thank you Brandi. Hope you and David are going out for a celebration dinner tonight.

Good afternoon, Js & Ks!

Welcome back, Ann!

Thanks Elin, How are you and Bob doing these days? When does summer vacation start for your school?

I hope David's interview went well

Welcome back Ann

Pam, you are such a special person, thank you for your friendship.

Glad that you are home safe and sound. Hope Tim returns home soon.

Thanks Kathy, he should be back tonight or tomorrow. I really miss him! This house is way to big for one person....and so is the bed!

Welcome back Ann - glad you are home!!!

Thank you Wendy. Wow Thursday you leave, that really came fast. Hope you have a super great, relaxing and stress free two weeks at Kadani. Ahhh that sounds so wonderful my friend.

Laura (RachelTori) Are you in the world having a great time with your daughter? Hope your trip is magical and filled with mom daughter bonding. Congratulations on her finishing her freshman year of college.

Got to get some work done around here. TTFN

Jambo!

Exciting news! I'm in the process of planning a short getaway to the World next month. It will be a few days of family time there which will include my parents (that live in Cocoa), my sister and her fam that will be coming from TX, myself, and hopefully we can convince grandma to come with me too.
I decided that since I don't have any near future plans to use my DVC points at the World, that I would use my points to get a 2-bedroom we could all stay in. I checked what was currently available and gave my parents 4 options - they chose Animal Kingdom!!!
I would leave IL late Sun and not get to Disney until after midnight. I thought about getting a hotel room somewhere (maybe at the airport or a value resort) then checking into the Villa Monday OR I could just check into the Villa when I get in. I know the 2nd option isn't the best use of points in terms of time spent in the Villa, but I think the points are worth the convenience of not switching rooms and having to wait until later Mon afternoon to check into the Villa. Please share your opinions/experiences on those options.
As far as a room request, can you also share your opinions/experiences on which savanna (Arusha, Sunset, or Uzima) or room number(s) might offer some better views? I'm almost positive this info is out there but I will totally admit I'm a bit lazy to research right now. But I promise to share pics after I get back if you can help me out!!!

We are going next month too What are your dates?

He got the job!!!!!!!!!

That is great news
