Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. It was a beautiful day here in TX. Sunshine and warm temps, stuck in between a lot of freezing temp days, so in that respect it was perfect. To our 59 and holding club. . . . so far it is not so bad. Give me a few days to adjust and the sentiment might change!!!

I recently discovered this thread and thought maybe it would be a good place to make new friends. My wife and I spent a few days of our honeymoon at WL in 1997. VWL was not built when we first visited. We started going there somewhat regularly when our daughter was about five years old. Last year we bought a DVC contract and now look forward to going "home" a bit more often. We have probably stayed at the lodge and VWL about seven times total. Do that qualify me as a groupie?

Kind regards.

You are totally qualified. Now all you need to do is grab a 'moosie' from page 1 and add him to your signature. He will look so good!

OK, I will be the first to ask where are you from since you have a Dallas Cowboy helmet as your avatar. At least that is what it looks like to me!!!

But anyway,

Welcome, greg! The only requirement to be a Groupie is to have a love of the Lodge, and you certainly seem to have that covered. We'd enjoy hearing more about you, your family, and upcoming visits. Again, we're glad you piped up and joined in!

(Yeah, there's a small issue of the new Groupie fee, a mere $50 American, payable to me. Let's just keep this between the two of us, ok? )

 

[jimmytammy]

Welcome to the groupies ottawagreg!!!!
Our only requirement is a love of the Lodge( seems like you are already there ) oh and sleepydog may be getting with you about a small fee soon You will soon see why we refer to him as slydog instead

Good Morning Greg!
WELCOME to the Groupies! All that is required is a love of our beloved Lodge, and you certainly qualify. Read over page 1 of the thread. twokats has already pointed you in the right direction for your moosie to add to your signature, if you'd like. jimmytammy keeps our trip list updated. Just send him a PM if you'd like to have your trip(s) added to the list. We enjoy trying to meet up with one another, if our schedules permit, when traveling to the World. We also celebrate the important milestones in our lives; birthdays and anniversaries. Again, welcome! Nice to have you here with us.

Ohio is still stuck with this miserable weather. Yet another winter weather advisory; C-O-L-D with blowing wind. Schools again have cancelled classes. I think a big pot of soup and fresh baked bread will be on our menu this evening.

Stay warm, Groupies and if you're on the road, be safe.

We had a weekend of relief from the bitter cold. We almost made it above freezing Saturday and were a balmy 39 yesterday. But, that goes away tonight with the same Arctic blast hitting you reaching us, as well. The next three days don't look pretty. . .

 

[PoohsFan1]

I hope all of you Groupies are staying warm this winter. I am getting so tired of all of this artic temps that keep sweeping into our area. Our kids are home from school again due to this and there is a strong possibility that they will be home tomorrow too. I am so looking forward to May and getting some Florida heat (yes, even the humidity) in me . The temps for the Southwest side of Chicago is -1 with a windchill of -20.....BRRRRR!!!!!!!!

 

[DiznyDi]

For Groupies that fly to the World. Check your flights. I just saved a bundle on our May flights. We fly non-stop on AirTran CAK to MCO. I now have a nice little sum in my account to apply toward our Oct. flights.

Greg!


Happy Belated Birthday Claire_ont and Twokats!


Di, thanks for the heads up on flights! Mine are holding steady, but I don't think it's going to get much better. I have already re-booked like 3 times. LOL. I don't know if I will be even able to apply this many credits.

And I am with you guys! It is FREEZING here. I just found out it's supposed to be -30 here tomorrow and schools have been cancelled already. I am already dreading leaving my house, and kind of want to try to sweet talk my boss into letting me work from home

Thanks Di. My trip is early April and while there are some flights that were pretty good, most were high. We were forced to fly home on a 10:10 am flight because all later flights were twice the amount. I chsoecked almost daily---probably will not see anything lower this close to our dates now---but it's around Spring Break time so guess that is why it's high. Glad you were able to save

Well you all seem to be very friendly folks indeed! I live in Northern Illinois. South of Rockford and west of Joliet. Which is really in in middle of nowhere. Cows and corn is what we have. And cold. Very, very cold. -13*F tonight. Don't feel too bad though, it will warm up to 4*F late afternoon tomorrow. I wish I was at the quiet pool outside the lodge right now. But our trip will be here soon as time goes by so very quickly.

I am a Cowboys fan because when I was young the Cubs-Sox-Bears were really bad, and they still are. So I chose cowboys. Now Dallas is worse than the Bears. Oh well.

You all mentioned trip dates and such. My wife said she liked the idea of meeting up with others while on vacation. Maybe I should post our trip date this summer.

Well, I have been told the Cowboys are America's team. . . . I reserve my opinion since my children inform me that I have little to no interest in sports (and they are right), so as far as I am concerned, one does not have to be from Texas to like them.

It has been cold here today, but not that cold. I will take our 30 something with a 20 degree wind chill and not complain after seeing your numbers.

Please PM Jimmy your vacation dates, and if you want y'alls birthdays and anniversary on the list, pm those dates to me. Our groupie meets be they big or small are a lot of fun. Right guys?

Checking in from the southwest Virginia mountains and we have 6F with a windchill about -15F. The bulk of the snow looks as if it will be south of us for a rare change; we got a dusting of about 1/2" this morning, but the bulk will be farther east and south along the coast. I am not a fan of the cold. . .especially in a house with a 20' cathedral ceiling. . .

We have those same ceilings. Ugh. I hate heating that space in the winter!

Mr Muush is working from home today, looks like snow for us!

Stay warm, Groupies.

Happy Birthday jimmytammy!

Wishing you the happiest (and probably coldest) birthday ever! Our thread wouldn't be the same without your guidance and managing our 'lists'. Enjoy this year while you're still in your 40's! Once you hit the big 5-0 things are never the same.

 

[Dizny Dad]

What!?! Another Birthday!?! Whoa, hold on here . . .It's who's? No Way; really? He doesn't look a day over . . . . .

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Don't worry - youth is fun, but age is comfortable!

Enjoy the ride.
