Great little song MaestroTK! :goodvibes

13 days until I arrive at the world!!! :banana::banana::banana:


Feeling just a little down today though - my aunt passed away yesterday which also happened to be the day of her 95th birthday. We knew it was coming but it's still a little sad. She was feisty but fair and kind - just a very wonderful lady. I went back to MN to say my last goodbyes a week and a half ago and am happy I got the chance. RIP Aunt Al!

So sorry for your loss Kathy. No matter how prepared you are for someone to pass, it doesn't make it much easier. :worried: I'll be thinking of you. :hug:
 
Kathy, sorry for you loss. 17 more sleeps for us...at the BCV with our DGS...waiting on ROFR for our VWL Contract!:lovestruc

So sorry to hear about your aunt. It's still hard even when you know it's coming. Glad though to hear you'll be back at the world in less than 2 weeks.:grouphug: Prayers & Pixie Dust coming your way. pixiedust:
 
My deepest sympathies on the passing of your aunt Kathy. You're in my prayers.

Thanks everyone! :grouphug: My grandparents had set some very high marks for their kids to achieve. Grandpa was 97 when he passed away and Grandma was 99! I remember celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary. Only one aunt left to try and top them. I'll be heading to MN for the funeral in a couple of days. In keeping with all my trips there this year there is a prediction for snow flurries on Friday! Makes me look forward to WDW even more. ::yes::
 
Ouch!! you got it. I feel off a tramboline in college during my sophmore year and had a hairline fracture of the tibia. no fun!!

I think a hairline fracture would have been a walk in the park. This break of the upper femur has been, well it has been!!! The family has been great and I know that y'all were a big help to Kati with the prayers given!

So sorry princesskat. Good thoughts her way for a speedy recovery. She's in my prayers. :hug:

Poor Mom. I hope she has a speedy recovery.:hug:

Prayers for your mom Kati !!!

I'll definitely keep Kathy in my prayers. Hoping she isn't in too much pain. :hug:

Princess Kat -- Ouch! Your poor Mom! I hope she has a very speedy recovery

We will be honored to pray on her behalf

Thanks, Kati. I hope your mom is feeling better. I know you're a big help for her.

Di, you are right she has been a very big help.
I want to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers.
I will admit this has been an event that I had hoped would never happen to me. I was diagnosed osteoperosis 15 years ago and have been on medication ever since. I had gotten it to the osteopenia stage and was very proud of myself. Just 2 years of chemo pills undid all those years of progress.
They scared my DH with the hint of bone cancer, but the MRI proved it was just weak bone, so needless to say, I hope to have a long talk with my oncologist and I hope to talk to her and let her know I cannot live with the threat of a bone breaking on me like this did.

So I have a question for the DVC groupies. I have my trip booked for Dec, and have had it since my 11 month window. This is the first time I've booked that far out. We bought the discounted DVC PAP so we are trying to squeeze in 3 trips. So we were thinking Dec, May, Nov or something like that. I just realized that the 11-month window for May really isn't that far away.

We usually plan our vacations 7 - 11 months out and some of the cruises have been even further out than that. We love it and space everything out where there is always something to plan.
DH doesn't really get involved in the planning. His comment, is let me know what we are doing and when so I can turn in my time. Plus he helps pay for it. I have always thought that was very sweet of him!!!

Happy Anniversary to a wonderful couple, Muushka and Mr. Muushka!!!!

Barb, I am so sorry I was down for your anniversary. I know you and Mr Muush had a great day.

One of my grandmother's lived to be 95. She was one of my inspiriations.

Warm birthday wishes to DiznyDi !!! Enjoy your day Diane !​



Di, you are another that I am so sorry I was down for. I thought of you, but had no way to let you know.

Thanks to the groupies for covering my list and wishing everyone well while I was down.

I also welcome the new groupies. Glad that the moosie sig was added and hope you enjoy him for a long time.

I am in rehab until 5-10 and the pain is managable. They say I am doing great! The real test will be when I get home. It was not designed with a wheelchair in mind. I have a 4-6 week timeframe of no weight on that leg.

As we have said before. . . . . VWL GROUPIES ARE THE BEST!!!!! :thumbsup2
 
Kathy -- was this one of those cases when the bone break was due to the osteoperosis medication? I remember reading something about that a few years ago! Whatever the cause, it stinks big time, I know!!!!!

Oh, wait, I just went down and read that the chemo contributed to the bone weakness....

What is your recovery time?
 
twokats
So happy to see you back. We will continue to lift you up to Him for recovery and for the future of your health.

That is awesome, JT! And, I'm a little envious. However, it won't be too long before we're within three weeks.

eliza - I have no clue for any of them. I'm way too young. . . :rolleyes1

I know #4 so I'll leave that one for someone else to answer. #1 don't know but I'm going to make a guess that it was Old Key West (2nd guess would be Beach Club- you know Beach Boys LOL)
 
Well, I have some super exciting news that I need to share!!! :cool1:

I found out today that the cruise fares have gone down for my sailing on the 12th, and we called our NCL rep and we were able to upgrade to a family suite with a balcony for only $260 total! :woohoo: Considering we were in a GTY inside cabin (:eek:) before , I am THRILLED!

I can't imagine anything better than coffee and a book on a private veranda watching the glaciers pass by :cloud9:

We should really start packing. :rolleyes1

Yay!!! That is so exciting!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: I am a bit jealous too! We will be going on vacation in 12 days, so I really have no good reason to be upset :laughing: but I will miss WDW

Fun questions! I don't "know" any of the answers except #4, but I *think* I may have an idea of a few.... :thumbsup2

So sorry for your injury twokats, had I paid attention I never would have sent you a PM for a birthday! :rolleyes:

Glad that you're back, and I hope you have a speedy recovery!! :flower3:
 
Welcome back twokats! Glad to hear your recovery is going well! I hope the pain continues to be manageable. :hug:


Happy Tuesday Gang,

Here's some trivia questions to get your thinking caps going.

1) Which Disney resort was used in the Beach Boys music video for the song "Kokomo"? Grand floridian?

2) At what 2 Disney resorts can guest participate in lady bug releases? Heard of it but didn't pay attention where - GF and BC?

3) What resort was originally planned to be built on the site where the Disney Grand Floridian now stands? I think there was to be an Asian and a Venetian that were to be around the 7 seas. Since I'm fairly certain the Venetian was to be between the CR and the Poly I'll go with the Asian.

4) Where can disney guest find the "great ceremonial house"? Since nobody else will say it I will! ;) The Poly!

Have a magical day.
