VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge, a lot!!

We are up to about 3 weeks a year, and it is still not enough!

He sounds a lot like Mr Muush

Barb, DH would be on cloud 9 if we could do 3 weeks a year. . . . especially next year after he retires, but it has been an unusual year for us being able to go on two cruises and I am going to try to get another one added to the one we are doing next year, but then I am afraid we will have to slow down. But we do enjoy them.

Ah yes, I think I remember that! Will you take lots of notes for me????

Spectacular pictures Kathy! Those shots could be professional shots used by Disney for advertising.

Oh Kat Your pictures just take my breath away!!!

I agree with everyone else Kathy! GORGEOUS shots!! I love the effects on some of them, it's almost like a fisheye(?) is that right?

I want to be great at photography, but I just don't have the patience to learn the settings. So a nice hybrid point and shoot/DLSR works for me.

You all are making me blush - thanks for such lovely acknowledgements!

rusafee I did use a fisheye to take some of them. The effect becomes very pronounced when you use that for pictures of long lines such as the log poles in the WL lobby.

That is a cruise I want to do! And an Atlantic crossing. And after hearing about a Med cruise from my nephew I think i want to do that too. Oh - and Antarctica is tops, although I don't believe it's a typical cruise per se. And if they threw in a stop at the Galapagos I'd be a very happy lady. I think I need to start planning to get on some boats although I'm more comfortable in Planes, Trains and Automobiles (which was a pretty hilarious movie too!).

We will.

I told my surgeon the other day about our plans and how I need to be better for the trip and he said it sounded good and that I should be fine. I certainly hope so. I will slow down a little, but we have a lot planned!

Fellow groupies gathered in your rocking chairs in front of the big fireplace in the lobby, I come before you tonight with a burden. Pray for Rebecca, if you will. We have learned just this week that her Step-Dad (who she and I both love as a father and a friend) has very advanced stage of colon cancer. Homer is eighty years old but golfs a couple of times per week (walking the course), takes his chainsaw to the State Park every Wednesday morning to keep the hiking trails clear (the volunteers are rightly named "the over the hill gang"), is a township supervisor, is on the board of the sewer authority, is commander of the VFW honor guard, and reads his Bible on a very regular basis. Pray for Homer if you will. We have not yet completely ruled out surgery but it does not look good. Chemo will begin in an effort to shrink the tumor to just keep him comfortable for as long as we can. I bring this to you, my groupie friends, because I know you are the praying kind. And I understand the power of prayer. Thank you for understanding.

I wish each of you a very blessed and magical day!

He sounds like he gives so much. I really do wish him and your family the best during this trying time.....

I have been a very bad DIS'er and haven't been active on the boards for a couple weeks! Well, I am now trying to catch up after these past few busy weeks (between my birthday, my now officially 2 year olds birthday, DH being out of town for work..... It's been chaotic!). Well, since DH was away I get bored, and I clean, and organize. Plus hopefully within the next 12-24 months we will be moving to NC - so I figure keep it clean and concise now and I will potentially have less to do when we sell the house..... Well, I found this - I don't have any idea how old it is, but thought its probably quite a few years!

I'm so sorry to hear about Rebecca's step-dad. He sounds like a wonderful man. I pray for wisdom and compassion for all the medical personnel that Homer comes in contact with. I pray for strength and reliance on Him for Rebecca and all of Homer's family. And I pray for a healing that only the Lord knows exactly what kind. A very difficult situation.

I will add Homer to my prayer list. This is the same thing that happened to my best friend -- and she is only in her early 40s. Diagnosed at stage 4. So scary and sad. I wish they would check people for this stuff earlier!!!!! Hugs to you. I know it is so stressful and heartbreaking!
