I promise to take care of MTM when he gets here. I am afraid he won't have as many wondrous adventures here with me though. He has to go teach music composition almost every day and then come home and work on those compositions at the computer every night. I hope he doesn't get too bored.

He does get to go back to DC for the National Yamaha Music Camp and concert at the end of the month and to New York City at the beginning of August, so I hope he can hold out that long!

Ahhhh Elin, Thomas is going to have a great time. You can take pictures of him looking up at all the tall buildings in New York

 

[tinker1bell]

Are you guys traveling together or will you arrive in DC that early??

Becky is driving to my place and Stephanie is picking us up at 9 am. We figure it will take us about 3 hours depending on traffic. A friend of hers gave her directions to hopefully avoid all that traffic. We will have our cell phones on.

Congratulations!!! When should we plan on you coming for a visit?

A P3 or P4, etc. is what Paula calls it when she posts several posts together. The P is for Paula and the number is how many posts there are together. The acronym just stuck and now we're all using it!

The floorplan looks different than the pics. Does yours have a shower/sink in with the queen bed or at the other end of the trailer? It gorgeous. You are going to LOVE it! My brother and I always loved the bunk beds.

The picture is of the longer version. They didn't have a picture of the short version online. However, it shows the colors, etc. The floor plan is the one we got (the bathroom on the other end from the bedroom). We had looked at them online and liked that floor plan the best. Neither of us want anything too long for hauling and since it will most likely be just the two of us, it is the perfect size.

We went to our local dealer and they had one left of the exact one we liked online. They gave us like a 1/3 off list since it is a 2006 model and they need to make room for the 2007. It has all the bells & whistles - surround sound, air conditioner, hide-a-bed recliner couch, glass shower doors, and tinted windows. It is really easy to winterize. It is considered a 4 season trailer.

I figure 10 years down the road, our grandkids will love the bunk beds! I figure that is long enough to let my babies grow up, meet someone & fall in love, get married, have some "couple" time and then give me the grandbabies that I want.

P3 - Personal posting party.
P4 - Paula Personal posting party (or anyone else with a P first name)

So that means you can't have a P4. You can only have a P3.

Chuck says when is it a good time to visit Utah? He also wants to know what the weather is like in the fall. ETA: I'm also supposed to see how long it would take us to drive to Utah from here.

 

[UP Disney]

I'm on my own P3 now I guess. I better get off here. I need to get my stuff together for camp.

Wanted to tell you one more thing before heading out. I don't know if I've ever told you my affinity to Eagles. My mascot in high school was the Eagle and so was Chuck's. Some Native Americans believe that the Eagle is the messenger from the after life because they can fly so high. One of my best friends is Native American and we had talked about this. About 2 months after my dad died, I was driving to work and was crying because I was missing him so much. It was a very difficult time and I was at my lowest emotionally. An eagle swooped up off the side of the road in front of my vehicle and followed my vehicle for a short distance. There were two more times when I was driving and really missing my dad and an Eagle flew right in front of the car. Well, when we bought our pop-up camper, the model that we liked was a Jayco Eagle.

When we started geocaching, you give yourself a username. We choice the "Wandering Eagles" because of our camper and my love of them.

Guess what our new travel traveler is? Yep, a Jayco Eagle. We did not go looking for it. We looked at different campers and that was what we liked.

So that means you can't have a P4. You can only have a P3.

Much better explanation than mine!!!

Sounds like the party was a hit Glynis!

Thanks. It was a lot of fun! Katie and her 8 closest friends invaded my house! First of all, I had bought them all canvas tote bags, and with flour and water paste I freehanded an ice cream cone on the front. I did that last night, and when the girls got here today, I gave them some fabric spray paint, and let them get artistic. Once the paint dried they peeled off the paste and had a darling bag to take home.

That is wonderful Vicki

Well, Chuck bought a travel trailer today!!! Woohoo!!!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Let's hope he arrives tomorrow so you and he can sit by the computer and wait for news from the Meets!

Also, would you mind sharing your first name? We all pretty much call one another by our names and I feel funny not knowing what to call you! Thanks!

I'm sorry! I didn't even think of that! My name is Brooke. By the way, I love all of the animated signatures. They are great!!

Vicki--the story about the Eagles & the travel trailer gave me chills!

So will we! Drive safe and stay away from the traffic.

Hi, Brooke!

 

[tinker1bell]

MTM knew that our one camp Sports of All Sorts tried all kinds of sports. He was very excited to know that the kids really liked Soccer. Well, we dressed
Thomas in his Soccer gear but it was rainy and muddy. So he stayed inside and tried to get in form for next time. Here are a few pictures.

Thomas knew the goalies wore gloves so he thought he would play a joke and wear my Mickey hands.

Good thoughts for Alex, have fun at the meet.

We got some "so-so" news about Alex today. he is having a bad day and is becoming very agitated and frustrated. He is trying to communicate by writing things to my dad and others..and becomes frustrated when they cannot read what he is writing. He is upset he is still on the ventilator (they put him back on because he was becoming too overtired with breathing on his own)
I know he will be having bad days, along wit hthe good days but i think this is the first time i ACTUALLY realized that. I guess i was so used to him improving every day, that i was a little taken aback by this news. Please keep him in your prayers that he has a better day tomorrow... Thanks so much!

If i see him tomorrow, i will post an update..if not, i will post after the DISmeet! have a great weekend

Three things….

1st I am sorry that my only posts these past few days have been about my family issues. They have taken over our lives and the only silver lining so far is the Detroit Free Press publishing an article on SIL T. I have much more to tell you all about this, but I am working fast with SIL A to build a website about this issue. This brings on item #2.



2nd Has anyone ever heard of having an ebay auction that sells hope in a box or something that is really just for people to send donations? Why? SIL A says her friend has seen this where the “buyer” just sends donations to help with something like raising money for a cause. I am going to look on ebay, but I have no clue what to look for so I will be on search mode for some time.



3rd I will be on and off the next few days for more than one reason. I will be working on making things to sell on ebay to pay for things SIL T might need (ticket for my niece to come out WHEN we get that fix, arrangements for SIL T service when the time comes and any extra expenses my MIL has to take on). So late nights will be my best friend.



Again I thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
