My flight times just changed!!! Time for a happy dance!!!!
I've been waiting patiently for our flights to change, I knew they would and they did!

We now arrive into Disney at 9:30AM (Thanks Airtran for getting us to Disney 4 hours earlier!) and we leave a 1/2 hour later for our nonstop return (Thanks Delta!)

Paula - Where are you for the happy dance!?!

I am a little late, but I am here.



Do a little dance!!!!!!

Nicky and I went for a drive yesterday to the Lower Peninsula for a graduation party. He wanted to get pictures of him with the Mackinac Bridge. The Mackinac Bridge joins Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula. Before the bridge was built, you had to take a boat across. I understand on the week-ends the line was hours long!

Mackinac Bridge viewing area - Nicky wanted his picture taken on the scope

Mackinac Bridge viewing area closer to bridge - Nicky thought this bell was cool

Mackinac Bridge

Nicky was so impressed, he clicked this picture as we were crossing for a closer look at the columns.

Nicky has made me slow down and enjoy things more. Usually on my trips, I just cruise through as fast as I can. I haven't stopped at the first viewing area for 20+ years and had never been to the second.

Nicky, I take back some of the picking I have done on you. I am glad you are having Vicki slow down a bit (even if she surfs ebay all day for you).

Saturday started with me doing laundry getting ready to leave next week to see my sister. DH had some things to do around the house so we waited until after supper to go out on Big Mo. We got to Stephanie's house and she and I then took pictures. The whole time DH stood on the other side of the street just waiting. He would groan sometimes but he was a good trooper. Here is the two of us with Thomas

As you can see I sewed a patch on the back of his jacket.

Here he is with a few more pins on the front. As you can see Harley people are big on pins as well.

He wanted to be the driver !!!

later

Terry you are a wild Harley lady!!!!!! Love the pics.

Hope the Dr's report comes soon

Ok now I have the song from KC & the Sunshine Band in my head

Do a little dance!!!!!!

 

[kc10family]

Thanks

I am okay RIGHT NOW! That mood may change as the night progresses

Steve leaves town on Tuesday so he has to be at work tomorrow - so I am going to be alone at the hospital (my mom is out of town and MIL will have Julia)

So that is making me a little bit nervous -

I just REALLY hope that I have been worrying about nothing for the past 3 weeks!!

How long will you be a single mom? (that's what they say some times when our DH's leave for trips in the military)

How long will you be a single mom? (that's what they say some times when our DH's leave for trips in the military)

Deb

Deb,
Have a wonderful time or will you look like this when you get home?

I should also be working and not checking this site! I have so much to do before we leave on Saturday for camp. I'm going to shut down my laptop so that I'm not tempted to keep checking. Talk to you all later tonight!

Vicki,

You have a good time too.

So, I just found out that my best friend is almost definitely moving to LA.

Free accomodations at Disneyland

but really far away





Do you think it would be fair to talk her and her husband out of the job offers, just to stay closer to me? And by closer, I already mean south carolina -- so it's not like she's THAT close as it is! I think she owes it to me to not go any farther, what do you thinK?

Well if she does more Disney for you.

 

[kc10family]

gotta go for a while, things to do around the house.

 

[tinker1bell]

You might need help also.
Do you shop a lot om ebay?
Do you find yourself looking for doll clothes all the time?
Have you bought an auto for Thomas yet?
Have you bought him a dresser for his clothing?
Is he looking for a bride?

If you answer yes to these questions, you might need help.

Don't shop on Ebay
Don't look all the time
Ain't gonna happen with the auto
Fixing up a box with travel patch material to make it look like a suitcase
He hasn't told me if he is

Thank goodness my bestes friend Stephanie is here to help me

This is for anyone that sews....
I'm making paint cans for Halloween. Not human size, but regular gallon size, out of canvas. I got two metal rings about 8 or 9 inches (so the top and bottom will hold the round shape) and have no idea on how to make a handle! Should I just use the canvas for handles or see about using 1/2 metal ring with grommets...no matter what, I want it to be "stable" and look like a paint can...
...any ideas?

Chanon,
Don't know if this was answered yet, but I would use the 1/2 metal ring but maybe metal colored canvas to put over it.
