Steve it looks like the girls are having a great time at Disney. I'm sure you and Coleen are having just as much fun too!

Those are really cute pictures of the girls with the Princesses.

Welcome to the world, Ethan!


Steve, it looks like a fantastic trip to WDW. I agree with the first one, it sure can be tiring. I wish someone could push me around in a stroller while I napped sometimes.

We're back! 1,000 miles there, 1,000 miles back. Tired from driving but relaxed at the same time. I'm not sure where the week went, it always goes so fast.

It was great to spend time with Jeff and his family. Cameron especially enjoyed the help your Dad gave him on the fishing pier. Not to mention the time he spent with Casey. Walker is still telling Gary about his new fishing net - I'm happy Ron went off and bought the bigger one. We sure were envious of your drive yesterday, we made it midway through KY before calling it a night and finished up earlier this afternoon. We're glad to be home, now back to the regular routine around here.


I'll post pictures later once they are downloaded from the camera. Especially the one the alligator stalking Walker.

I woke up at 3 am and couldnt go back to sleep. Coleens alarm went off and then I dosed lightly till she gave me a goodbye kiss. Then laid there again until 5:45 and had to get up for the drunk underage kid who rolled his truck and broke himself up pretty badly. Then I had to rush home feed the dog and get a uniform in order to get back to the station for duty at 8. Of course Shadow decided today was a good morning to track dog doodoo ALL over his kennel floor. SO I stretched the hose and cleaned it up. (more on the hose later) I just shut it down and left it stretched across the front deck. I worked the day at the station and had to send our newest ambulance out for a radiator repair. Oh yes it has a hole in a hose and they cant get a new one till Monday. Then the chief called with about six projects he wanted done and the State Fire Marshall sent us hate mail because they lost a call report.
I got all that sorted out and then headed home
I carried all my baggage into the house then went back onto the front deck to get the hose and coil it up. As I an looping it back over the railing a swarm of wasp's decided I was bothering them and one of them stung me. I am allergic to bee stings so I take 50 mg of Benadryl and get my Epi pen ready. Luckily I am OK.

HOPEFULLY the rest of the evening will be better...........

Thanks everyone!

Steve - man what a day!!! I hope you are sitting down with a cold beverage and relaxing. I'm also allergic to bees/wasps but no epi pen yet (luckily haven't been stung since college) and I understand how scary it is. I hope tomorrow is a MUCH better day

 

[#1Mouse]

I hope your evening is going better Steve. I think a trip to Hooters is needed to help you feel better.

 

[MaryJ]

Hope today is a better one for you Steve, and that you have no lasting effects from the wasp sting!

Here's how my Thursday and Friday went:

Ken and I drove to Iowa to make a delivery for his business. We're driving his pickup and pulling a flat bed trailer with steel that we're delivering. We left around 1:00 pm and around 5:00 one of the tires on the trailer blows. We drive 2 miles to the next exit, and pull into a McDonald's to change the tire. The lug nuts were frozen; Ken can't get the tire off. I went into the gas station next to McDonald's and got the phone number of a tire place. What luck! It was only 1/4 mile down the road from where we were. We called the place and the owner had left, but said he would come back. Thanks to his air compressor, the tire got changed and we were on our way!

We made our delivery and got back on the road around 10:30 that night. At 12:45 Ken decided he needed sleep (I'd been needing it for a while) and we decided to stop in MO and find a motel. Found a Super 8 and got a room. I jumped out of the truck, shut my door, Ken shut his door, and then realized the keys were still in the ignition! We went to bed, and a call to AAA the next morning took care of that problem.

On the way home, as we were coming out of St. Louis, we were driving on an overpass in the right lane, and a BIG Winnebago tried to pull into our lane! There was no shoulder and no place for us to go! Ken said there was probably only 6 inches between us when the guy realized we were there and pulled back into his lane.

After we got back home, I was talking to Dana on the phone and telling her all about this. She went to college in MO and asked where we spent the night. When I told her the name of the town, she said, "Oh no! That's the worst place in MO to stay! It's the meth lab capital of the state!" Who knew?

At least now we are home safely, and I slept GREAT last night!

Goodness, Steve. With all that, I think you need a cold beverage and a trip to Hooters! I'm glad your okay, that must have just been the frosting on your day.

Mary, what a trip! I'm glad your home and I bet nothing felt as good as your own bed. Driving to and from Hilton Head, I didn't worry so much about my driving ability, it was the other drivers who scare the bejebers out of me. I especially love the ones who think that if they are 2" from my back bumper that they are going to be able to get there faster.
