***The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread*** Chapter 2!

[MiaSRN62]

We could have a Groupie meet, get some exercise, get to see the Victory Junction Gang Camp and contribute to a great event! Anyone care to join us?? (Actually, I am assuming that the Mr Muushka will come with me!!

Wish I could make it...especially for such a wonderful cause. A good friend of ours has melanoma and we just did a run/walk in DE in Sept to support that cause.

Here's one of my sweet baby girl Lily. She's a Coton de Tulear. She was a puppy in this pic, but doesn't look that much different now. She's just a little bigger & her fur is longer. Isn't she cute?!

Muushka - I wish I lived closer but NC is a little far from MA. It sounds like such a worthy cause.

 

[Laxmom]

I am at WL that day, Muushka, but I am interested in sponsoring if you can get me details.

Cutie patutie, Horselover!! She looks so innocent!!

 

[Muushka]

Horselover, your puppy is so cute! Awwwww.

Eliza and Laxmom, you are so sweet with your offer. I am paying to be in the walk (forgot to say that it cost $20 to participate), but didn't plan on getting sponsors, but you are very kind. Groupies are the best!!! I figured JT would be all over this, being a NC'er and all. Maybe he will check in later. And I am thinking we have some others in this area..... maybe not!

HD, you are doing the MNSSHP?? Oh my, such fun memories. My sister was talking with me about the fun we had that night, fighting over the candy, 3 adults (well 2, I was the photographer holding our for Almond Joys!). Calm seas...blue skies.....great food......relaxation....fun!

Good afternoon Groupies - and....

Even though we won't be here - we couldn't resist hanging our flag!

Yes Muushka - we are absolutely going to MNSSHP. Love love love that party. We've been to it two times - and just have a ball family/kid/general people watching (oh, and enjoying no lines on the rides too!).

It's almost here - and we're finally getting soooo excited! This will probably be our last post until we get back - lots to do before Saturday wake up time of 4 am!

BTW - loving the pics of Groupies four-legged "kids"! So incredibly cute! We'll probably be searching out the rescues when we get back for a companion for Gracie (aka Bubble Butt!)!

Hope you all have a good couple of weeks - and may the Great and Wonderful Mickey bring you nothing but treats on Halloween!

Oh yes - definitely a cutie!!!!

And how's your decision about your add on going?

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

OH he is beautiful!

Thanks DLI! Now I'm wondering if I should have two wiggling Corgi bottoms in my signature.

I know it's been talked about before but leaving these fur babies are what makes it hard to head to WDW sometimes. I still haven't lined up anything for our Dec. trip. The boys "love" my nephew so I hope he'll be able to stay - but he's a busy young man. I better get working on that 'cuz my babies gotta be happy!

I've made up my mind to buy direct - two 25 pt. contracts. Now all I need is for my guide to make it official. He's been out of the office & said he'd get back to me today, but haven't heard from him yet. I had no idea how hard it would be to get DVC to take my money!

I would have loved to participated in The Victory Junction Gang Marathon, but we are gonna be at our beloved Lodge then. Tammy was dissapointed as she loves marathons.

It is a great camp! Richard and Kyle have done so much for the community. They are still genuine to their roots.

A few yrs ago, Tammy and I were leaders of our church RA/GAs program. We came up with the idea of challenging the kids over the summer to raise $$ to send to the camp, and we would have a big party to celebrate. There were only about 12 kids who came on a regular basis, but they raised over $300 that summer picking up odd jobs and such. It was a blast and the kids knew they had done a worthy thing.

Hey JT. I figured you would know about this place. I talked my husband into the walk. And they have volunteer opportunities on the weekends, so I think we are going to do one of those soon. It is a wonderful place. With Paul Newman passing away (so sad, I loved that man) I got to thinking about the camps. Anywhoo, I'll keep everyone posted about whether we finished the race or not!

Calling all NASCAR fans.....

If you live in NC, love NASCAR, have a heart for disabled kids, like to support charity and need some exercise..

Have I got a plan for us!!

Kyle Petty, as you probably already know, started the Victory Junction Gang Camp in honor of his late son, Adam.
From their website:


As a fund raiser, they are going to have a marathon on Dec 7 at Randleman, NC. Before you complain about running (as I would!) they are also having a 5 mile walk/run for people like us! Here is the info http://www.runtovictory.com/details.html

We could have a Groupie meet, get some exercise, get to see the Victory Junction Gang Camp and contribute to a great event! Anyone care to join us?? (Actually, I am assuming that the Mr Muushka will come with me!!)

What a great thing! Wish I could fly down and do it with you!

Leslie I hope you have an awesome trip!!! You sure deserve it!

Yes 2 corgi bums!!! I know how I always worry about mine while we are gone. I call everyday to check on her! At least we board her at the vet so that makes me feel better.

YEAH!!

Direct has always worked best for us.... I'm not a patient person and there's way too much stress for me to go resale.

We'll be spending the next 10 days at the World. No computer with me this trip, so I'll have to catch-up once I get home.

Everyone have a nice week-end!

 

[Muushka]

Have a great time!! Tell Mickey Hi for me!!!

Muushka, sorry for not being able to join you but this is the Detroit Free Press Marathon weekend. Have to go to the expo and pick up my race packet today. I was supposed to be running the 1/2 with my DW to get her in under 2 hrs but unfortunately she severely sprained her ankle on Monday and can't run at all. All that training for naught. If anyone knows of a half mary near WDW in late Jan maybe we could squeeze it in then. Good luck with your 5 miler. Oh and being a good FORD boy.....Go Roush!!!!!

 

[Muushka]

Poor Mrs MM. I hope she heals quickly. Thanks for the well wishes. A quick walk of 5 miles is nothing compared to marathons, some day.....dreaming. Doesn't WDW have half marathons in Jan?

Thanks for the well wishes Muushka. The WDW marathon is a couple weeks earlier than when we arrive unfortunately. Plan on running it one day. I may even feel a little Goofy

Hey Groupies...long time no posts for me.

I've been busy but I am looking forward to our trip next week so I had to pop on the boards. Unfortunately we won't be staying at our lodge or even on site this trip except for the night the wife and I will be spending at the Grand Floridian to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The night at the GF is going to be a surprise for her. I thought about booking a night at the lodge but we did spend our honeymoon at the GF so I thought it would be a better fit for the occasion.

This trip is a family reunion and my cuz will be staying at the lodge so I will be getting a bunch of pics to post. We are doing the wishes cruise and we will be leaving from the lodge dock so I should be spending enough time there to get a good fix. I will have my laptop and try and do a few live updates when we spend time at the lodge.

Have a great weekend.
