Aww, how sweet! And nice of you to stay with him. I can tell he really appreciated it.
AAAHHHHH!!!!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, JOHN?????
EWW!What's wrong with me?? Nothing......I'm going to fatten that little doe up and about mid-October it will look mighty tasty!!! Slide out on the deck with my bow and.......whack.......dinner time!!!!!
Where you been TAT???? Everything all right???
I really hate to say it but I think this may be what we do. Our DU agent is checking dates and I'm not seeing anything I like time-wise and more importantly price-wise.
HEY UJ..... when do y'all wanna go next year? Let's have a grand gathering, shall we?
OK, some of you dont know this.... but, I work for a law enforcemnt agency in MI....I am on the Highway all the time... This happened to me the other day......get your kleenex ready....
I was on a motorist asst. when a lady pulled up to me and said "you need to go back north and help a little old man out...he is broke down......he must be 85 years old....please go help him".....So, off I go....
I found a 1995 Dodge Caravan with the four ways on, hood up....little old man jumps out...I get out of my car and tell him to please stay in your car....I ask him what is wrong......he tells me his van keeps overheating....wont start.....So I get the info. and call him a wrecker....
This guy is 90 years old, clothes are a mess....yellow stuff all over them.....I look in the pass. seat and see a huge tub of cheese balls (like cheese curls)..he's got that stuff all over him.......I just chuckled.....
The van is packed full of stuff.....I mean everything......I ask him where he is headed....he said "back home to Grand Rapids, I'm orig. from there, been retired living in Florida for 20 years". He asks me to stay there with him until the wrecker comes....I tell him sure.....no problem......He goes on to tell me he is moving back to GR to live with one of his kids....he had 6 kids, 19 grand children and 42 great grand children....He proceeds to tell me about his life.......politics, religion, unions, young people etc....just a great guy.....he had a trailer in the Tampa area...sold it all .....(Basically, he is coming home to die).
He gave me a phone number for a daughter in GR, I called her and when she answered I told her who I was and where I worked, she started screaming.."is he all right"?....I told her he just broke down....he would be home late..I let her talk to him........(all on my cell of course, my depart. cant afford squat)
He then tells me you know why I have lived so long?? He then tells me because of his wonderful wife......she died 10 years ago......He reaches in to his shirt pocket and pulls out some papers, thumbs threw them and locates a photo of his wife...he holds it up and says "Isn't she beautiful", he then looks at it and starts crying.......he told me she passed about a week after the photo was taken.......man, it even got to me.........I had to go back to my car for a minute.....big tough guy cant be getting all flubbery on the road!!
We talked a bit longer and then the wrecker arrived.......I pulled the wrecker driver aside and said "hey, this old guy is going home to die, take it easy on him......he asured me he would be fare with him......
The old guy got out of his van to get in the wrecker, he came up to me and gave me a hug.....said "thanks for staying with me".......
You just dont see stuff like that anymore.......
Just took this photo in the back yard......
Also... did you get cheese all over your uniform when he hugged you?
(Hey, had to lighten it up a little bit, kwim?)
LOVE CRIES!!!
Abby's middle school called today and a class that she needs to take is only offered on another track (which is basically another schedule) and we have no choice but to switch. This means we are not off at the same times we were going to be. I didn't think it was a big deal until I looked to see about making it a month sooner and there IS NOT a cruise when I need it.
Our choices are as follows:
1. Leave it and take the kids out of school ~ which I really don't like because Abby misses enough school due to her asthma.
2. Go in April or July to the tune of$12,000... for the same cruise that we have booked for $5522..... I think NOT!
3. Go in Jan. for $1000 more than what we have booked now. I thought, hey, that is not bad. Tomato thinks differently.
4. Scrap the cruise and just go to Disney.
WHAT WOULD Y'ALL DO??????????????????????

HEY UJ..... when do y'all wanna go next year? Let's have a grand gathering, shall we?

The more the merrier!
Since UJ is obviously busy I'm going to hijack and take a poll!
Which month would you rather go to Disney and why~
1. January
2. April
3. July
4. October
Furthermore... which of those months would you NOT go and why?
(Okay, July seems an obvious month to NOT go but maybe some feel differently.

I knew I missed something somewhere when you mentioned canceling your cruise on Sharky's thread. I'm really sorry you have to do that. If it were me I'd probably chose option #4 too. The cruise will always be there and there are lots of updates at WDW for you to look forward to
eek: ) for what we would pay for the cruise. I am 99% sure it's a done deal and we are cancelling.... just have to send an e-mail to our agent. Maybe later. 
I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to do it.... it all makes perfect sense.... I'm just disappointed I guess.
Blasphemy! 
I just remembered....
UNCLE JOHN went to Disney in July once. I believe his exact words when they returned home were...
"WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!"
Not to mention, a BIG FAT LIE!
I say sure, go ahead and change it!!!!
Especially if you can get a voucher that can be used for your next trip
Hey there
I saw ya call some of out saying we never commented on Tear Jerker story
I commented....you remember I told you great story, you should tell your wife
You said, Of course I did
Remember now
LOVE CRIES!!!
