OK... Back to the marriage proposal...

Please understand, we are very rural - only 5,000 of us in Homeworth
To put this on a billboard next to a state highway was hometown newsworthy

Hi everyone..I have been sooo busy this week with the first week of school!

I was hoping we'd be able to go to F & W in October..but there is absolutely no where to stay the weekend we wanted to go! We've been waitlisted everywhere..but so far no luck

Meanwhile..Bobbi and DODIE! Have a GREAT time on your trips!

Yes..where is Island Mouse???

Bobbi..do you spend all of your points each year? Did you ever use them on the cruise and was it worth it?

Dizny DI..how cute is that proposal!!!!

 

[Dodie]

DiznyDi!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that article and the wonderful story of your daughter's engagement! They both sound like such good "kids." Congratulations!

 

[50 years Too!]

DiznyDi what a sweet son- in- law you will have. Lucky daughter, but I'm also sure he is a lucky guy to have her (and you for a mil, sharing the points and all)!

Welcome back WDWWEB , looking forward to hearing all about it.

Have safe trips all of you going in the next week or two. Everything crossed for no more TS rain storms!

Awwwwww. What a sweet proposal your future son-in-law made to your daughter.

"Grow old with me. The best is yet to be."

Fingers crossed that Gustav will die a very quick death.
I am getting a little nervous about all these hurricanes and our upcoming cruise.

Good afternoon Groupies

Yes, the "dinks" are still lurking around - just haven't been able to keep up with all the news and postings - and participate in all the discussions! Sometimes life seems to get in the way of important stuff - like dropping in on the Board!

DLI - so sorry to read about Montana. Such a hard thing to have to deal with -- been there ourselves. It's the worst part about being a pet owner.

DizneyDi - I hope that you and your family are beginning to find some peace with your father's sudden passing but are able to find much joy in your daughter's engagement - what a great story!

Eliza - Don't know if you're on the boards or not - just read that you're headed to LSU - hope you do not meet Gustav along the way! Safe Trip!

I officially joined the ranks of the unemployed on 8/15. At least Abby and Gracie (or as Bob refers to them "the girls")are happy I'm home all day (for now!). Somehow, I thought I'd have gotten further along on our upcoming trip planning than I have.....

Loving all the pics from everyone's trips - and the reports. We're just a mere 50 days out from our first DCL cruise! And then "Home" for 9 days - can't wait! Hey Muushka - I'm sure the hurricane's will die down before we hit the cruises - but I'll admit that we rebooked for later in October because I was afraid of the hurricane season! ;-)

Hate that we've been away so long -- it's way too many pages to read when you miss a couple of weeks!

Lots of to everyone and anyone who's traveling "home" in the next couple of days!

HappyDinks! I was just wondering about you and your cruise!

Hey Gang,
Boy did I miss these boards. Just got back yesterday thanks for the travel pixie dust. No funny name storms anywhere in site. I'm not a big fan of long distance driving especially since it was only Rizzo & I.
The college tour is really a funny process, they seperate the potential students & parents. For the parents, they really lay on the schmooze. food, drink, VIP alumni, the entire works so by the end of the day, heck you want to join up and just as you are heading out the door ready to leave you little Johnny or Jane they hit you with the tab.....$29,000 big ones a year. Of course I started laughing like a loon, because no one in the right mind would actually think anyone could afford that...
Anyway off to the great state of Kentucky next month for University of Kentucky (am I spelling that right?)
I remember at some point I did want this kid to go away for school..right?

DizyDi, congratulations on the great son in law. Keep a copy of the article for a keepsake.

Glad to hear from you Happy dinks
Thanks for the groupie hugs Muushka & Blossomz (the other 2/3 of the radio chicks)

Glad for the good news! What a great story. Where is Homeworth?

 

[Muushka]

Hey Eliza! Good to hear from you. Say, if your travel plans bring you to the 3 biggies (UNC CH, NC State or, God forbid (financially) Duke) look me up!

Muushka Says : Maria. Leave it to you to find a birthday cake with a Moose on it!

Eliza !
welcome back from your road trip ! Glad u missed any named storms !

 

[blossomz]

Welcome Back Eliza! Glad you are safe!

And Hi to Happydinks!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Going to the Black Hills for the weekend and won't have computer access. So I just want to wish all my fellow groupies a great labor day!!! Hope you all have good weather and a fun weekend!

 

[Dodie]

Hey everyone. DH and I are going to a DIS Unplugged Podcast/DISBOARDS meet here in Indianapolis on Saturday. There are supposed to be 90+ in attendance! I don't think any of the attendees are Groupies though. I've never been to a DIS meet before, so I'm looking forward to meeting some "oldtimers" who will be there (like Dan Murphy and maybe Town Crier). DH thinks I'm crazy of course - going to meet (in his words) 90 of my "online buddies."

HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!

Welcome back, Eliza! You're right, $29,000 a year is nuts. It seems like they just want kids to come out the other end of the process with so much debt they'll have to work for 20 years just to pay off schooling. It's crazy!

The way I look at it, take that same $29,000 * 4 years and think how many VWL points you could buy! And those babies will last for more than 30 years, and can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's a no brainer, really.

THIS is why I don't have children!!!

Have a great time at your Podcast meet, DODIE!!

Eliza - Welcome home. College prices are getting absolutely ridiculous. I know ours go up 10% a year and have for the past several years. Good luck.
