Yes, the procedure was Monday. Now I just have to wait and see if it took care of the problem I was having.Charade - confused, did you already have your procedure? If so, hope it all went well for you
You all know our Schumi-Carole is an American by heart
Love it!!!! I definitely feel part Americ
Grilling tonight again...….in honour of Independence Day......it has a little American theme......although it`s just the three of us tonight so not exactly a party......
Hope the rain holds off for the dinner time parade. Trying to get little one to go to the morning one. That one, they throw lots of candy. Little one remarked well, I am 17. Yeah, and I am bringing a bag for the candy collected.![]()
Robo - oooh who doesn’t love a poodle skirt? Make sure to post the final product.
Quick drive by......off to grind beef for burgers and I`ve tried to make buns....not sure how they`ll be. Coleslaw and potato salad home made too and special request again of mac n cheese for Kyle as a side...….some pulled pork, spicy chicken thighs and ribs too.......with usual salads. Shop bought apple pie for dessert.
Happy 4th of July to all the Sans family. Wishing you all a safe and fun 4th spent with family and friends and lots of yummy food.
I have ribs in the crockpot. Just me and hubby this evening for dinner all the kiddos have other plans. We had a major down poor here this afternoon. Our fireworks have been canceled do to high water on the river in our town. They set off the fireworks on a barge on the river.
The fireworks for Evansville are still on schedule though. So kiddos have plans for those. Sister and I thought about going to see the fireworks there, but felt it would be to hot and there would be to many people to navigate.
Someone in the next neighborhood put on a impressive fireworks display the other night. Glad we have had all the rain so the field behind our house did not catch fire.
You are right Mac Schumi is an American by heart.
I’am glad you feel that way Carole
Sounds nice
Lynne sounds like you had a great time in spite of the heat.
I will. I’am thinking rolled up jeans, saddle shoes, poodle socks, shirt with sewn on poodle, pony tail, pink scarf. Hope it translates well. Decided not to chance the poodle skirt.
Wow......everything sounds yummy.

Special thank you to all the Sans family and Dis family husband’s, wives and all family members who are serving and have served our country. Heartfelt gratitude for you all. Without your service we would not be free to enjoy this Independence Day.
Way far behind here again- it’s been so busy!
Keisha AKL is where’s west aye s last August for our anniversary. If I was ever gonna buy DVC it’d be there. Is TeppanEdo the hibachi one? Hats where we didn’t NYE dinner and timed it perfectly to watch first illumination at the gate.
Glad Tink is staying hydrated and yay to 8 days off. And how fun for mini vacay with ball game- that’s something I’d love
Yay for Patty sighting. Kyles bday looked fun!
Lynne we have bald eagle nest close to MiL old house- haven’t seen them flying yet but the young should be out of the nest and flying now. MiL said the parents came over to new place to say hi after they moved lol. She’s gotta lots of pics of the dad eagle sitting on roof line watching the eaglets fly over lake.
Yummy food planned by many. View attachment 414227View from MiL deck
View attachment 414226That’s a Jack Nicklaus (sp?) golf course behind us. Hat hole requires driving ball over water twice
Out on boat and floating earlier. Started getting nuts on lake so we headed back, caught in quick rain down pour. I was driving the jet ski- was wild ride back to MiL with rain and waves lol. Had to stop a couple times to wipe glasses of so I could see. At one point I jumped a huge wake and I think entire craft came out of water! I’ll feel it tomorrow but so fun!
Was at pool for a it this afternoon but black clouds rolled in. Showered and watching Stranger things s2 to get ready for watching S3
Happy fourth! 77 days til HHN for us
Yeah, would love to see those eagles free, the small zoo we have, has at least a dozen eagles of several types, all that are injured enough cannot be released. But what we like so much about where they are, is they are not in cages. Great pictures of the lake, MonyK.
Evening parade was hot, and long, one of the longest running in our state.
Robo, yum rib dinner. And fun, getting ready for party.
Waiting for the fireworks. We can see them from our home, and our neighbor invited us to one of their kid’s home that has a great view of the fireworks. So, we may take their offer up.
Charade, think we missed the rain today, and was so stinking hot.
Happy Fourth of July Sans family !!!!
I got in Tuesday late afternoon later than we thought. We left Animal Kingdom Lodge on Monday about 12:30 pm and got to Fredricksberg VA about 1:30 am. We hit traffic and had to make a lot of stops. We got up about 8 the next morning and left VA about 9:30. We had a lot of traffic problems so got home at about 5:00 Tuesday. We had a lot of cleaning up to do from the cats and unpack the car. We got take out for dinner. I had to go for a test on Wednesday morning. It just seems like I am having problems getting caught up with everything. Today I cooked food and we had a cookout with the kids. Last night our friend came by for a visit with lots of food. We can see our local fireworks from my house so that was a nice ending to the night.
We all loved the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Lake Buena Vista. I would stay there again any time.
Monday we really enjoyed Aquatica and would go there again. We spent a lot of time in Roa's Rapids.
Tuesday Bush Gardens was nice but it was too hot. I think we would have enjoyed it more a little cooler.
Wednesday Discovery Cove was fantastic, we were happy we got the location of the cabana we wanted.
Thursday we slept in then went to visit my brother and his family staying at the Grand Floridian. It was a nice pool day there with them.
Friday we went to Sea World, it was probably our favorite park next to Discovery Cove. OMG I fell in love with the rays. Feeding them was the highlight of my day. They are the cutest thing and love to be pet.
Saturday we went looking at neighborhoods and found 3 we liked. We went to an open house and found a realtor we like. He is going to be working with us. We told him we are looking to do this next summer. This was the rainiest day we had. It was a good driving day.
Sunday we checked into Animal Kingdom Lodge club level. It was awesome. We spent the day at the resort. We went between the pools and the lounge. The food was awesome and so many choices. We got our savannah room about 3:30 and we got lucky with a renovated room. We had plenty of animal viewing that early evening. Overall it was a big hit and Liv was so happy to be back there. The surprise worked until the day we left. Brian put in AKL address in waze and she saw it. She played it off till we got there.
I am going to put up a trip report in the Sea World thread and will post a link when I do. As soon as I get pics loaded up I will post some here.
Our dinner choices were :
Sunday Sweet Tomatoes : Liv wasn't' crazy about it, Charlie liked it, Brian and I really liked it.
Monday was Miller Ale House in Lake Buena Vista this was one of the big winner's of the week. Everyone loved the meals and reasonable prices.
Tuesday we met Brian's family in Tampa and ate at a Friday's. It was okay, I have had better.
Wednesday nothing after all the food at Discovery Cove
Thursday Red Lobster it was good, but I think I would skip it next time.
Friday this was the other big hit we went to Kobe Japenese steak house and had the hibachi. It was awesome and we met some really nice people.
Saturday was Wendy's and Taco Bell
Sunday and Monday AKL lodge club level and then I bought stuff with my Disney dollars from the mara for the car ride.
Schumi Thank you for your trip reports and your dining reviews. I told my family where I heard about the Ale house, and they were very thankful for your recommendation. Your food for today sounds amazing as always. I hope your friends enjoyed it with you. I hope you get some warm weather.
Mac Thank you for thinking about me and asking if I was back. It is much appreciated. I waved to you when I drove through Georgia. My family looked at me but I explained how a special friend lives here.
Patty It is nice to see you post. Glad things are going better for Joe. Glad that you got to go be with your son for his birthday, nothing better. I hope everything keeps going well. I have to change our diet around here.
Charade Glad that your surgery went well and your feeling better. The teens are trying to get us to watch the new Spider-man movies. Liv loves Tom Holland.
Monykalyn Even though you battled some yucky weather it looks like a nice time. We use to love tubing years ago. I hope you had a good day.
Robo sorry you had rain cancel your fireworks. It sounds like you are making a nice dinner for you and your DH. I have worried about my house and yard many times. All the houses are close together and we have some neighbors who are not so cautious with fireworks. I hope you had a nice day and are feeling good.
Lynne Nice pics of the eagles. I love those birds I remember seeing the rescue ones at Bush Gardens Virginia. They are so amazing and majestic. I hope the rest of your day was cool and good food. Enjoy the fireworks.
Sue sounds like you had a nice dinner with your friends. I use to have a cat I would take to the groomer. She would get really bad knots so we had her cut like a lion. Other than that nobody else goes to the groomer. I hope the doggies had a great spa day!
Keisha glad that you had a good WBC visit. I loved AKL this week. We were on Kudu trail right in the middle of the savannah. We were really happy there and I hope you are enjoying yourself too. Have a great rest of the trip.
to Pumpkin, rapstar, Pooh, Tink and all the other family that check-in. I hope everyone has a great 4th.
Bobbie good to hear from you! Sounds like a fun and productive trip.
We haven’t been to Busch Gardens in a long time, but enjoyed it. We had the combo Seaworld, Aquatica, Busch Tickets. We loved the Roa river too.
Sounds like you had a similar location on Kudo trail as us, we were near the elevator in the middle. And had an end room, liked that we only had a neighbor on one side!
Looking forward to pics!
Woot! Friday is here. And a back to routine for a day.
Bobbie, long ride home but sounds like you did a lot, ate a lot and all had lots of fun. Those rapids in Aquatica are one of my favorite. We haven’t been to BGT in some time, but some of the coasters there are my kids’ favorite.
Fireworks were great, and yeah Schumi, not always fond of the noise, but enjoy seeing the colors and bursts of them.
Sue, it is overcast now, but still warm, 76 out at 6am. And from noon to 7 pm, rain chances. Party night for us, as some of our out of town family is here. Will be nice to see them.
With that, tea for me.
