VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[sleepydog25]

I could use a VWL fix today. Who's with me?

Yes. My SO is at WDW right now(albeit at BLT), where she says it's 80F, while I'm resigned to running in 27F.

With the others let me welcome you to the Lodge;
Pull up a rocker, have a seat,
As you'll soon see our group is quite the hodgepodge,
But, we're friendly, relaxed, laid-back, and usually upbeat.

This is the place for stories told and wishes fulfilled and fine,
Where acquaintances become neighbors then turn into friends.
So, grab a hot cocoa (or in my case a nice glass of wine),
Sit a spell, get comfy, and let your thoughts be cleansed.
Get to know the merry band (we're truly not loons),
Just one rule: be sure to hit the spittoon.

Welcome!

Sleepydog....great welcoming poem! Sure to become a Groupie classic greeting.

Ah Mickey....reminds me of the good old days (2010).

Kathy...thanks for the great pix on this cold winter's day.

Oh Sleepy! I love the poem! Perhaps when we start our new thread we can use that on that first page!!!!

For now I am copy and pasting it in an email to myself to be sure we have it!!!

Me too! Thanks Kat, love love love your pictures!

Granny! I got a phone call and came back and hit submit and there you are! 2 minds......

The biggest contradiction I always thought though was the two L's. Lefse and Lutefisk. How could one be so good and one so BAD!! The holidays meant that both were going to be around though!

Oh my yes! I love Lefse. Lutefisk is just something better left for someone else

Every time I'm in the Norway pavilion I have to get something... I just can't go in without coming out with something. Two weeks ago, or whenever I was just there, I had to have one of the Freia Melkesjokolade bars. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Let's just say it was gone before I ever arrived at the park exit.

Oh me! Me! ME! ME!!!!

After breaking 5" of solid ice off of my driveway yesterday... and today doing the same thing for my elderly neighbor lady who lives alone... I could DEFINITELY use such a fix.

 

[stopher1]

Me! Me! Me!

Oh thank you so much... and I'm not even eliminating them from my reply, so that we can see them again!!! Marvelous. Simply marvelous. I wish I could go get in the pool right about now...

Some MuushRamblings......

My sister is still not out of the woods as far as CA is concerned. The attending doc said regardless what the surgeon said, CA cannot be ruled out at this time. She is remembering more and a little more active.

Now it is all about Muush and her quest for the Lodge. Man, decorating in mission style is costly!

We are doing the kitchen (cabinets, granite blah blah blah) and another room close by we are adding an 8 foot section of cabinets and granite. Sort of an annex kitchen.

Got my mission style cabinets (this is a lousy picture but mine are bisque for the kitchen and expresso for the annex area)

got my handles

and...

It's the lighting that is difficult! Finding 2 pendants and a flush or near flush light that is the tough part! I find each of them but they don't match each other!! Anyone have any place for lighting ala Lodge?

 

[jimmytammy]

Welcome jjkk3, and Welcome Home!!

Muush, praying still for you and Lexie, wish I could help with the lighting

Loving the pics from everybody.

WD, gonna join in the wishing for WL wish I was there thingy

Got to share...Tammy had surgery a few weeks back and is still pretty sore. SO today she tells me she goes on a forum, similar to the DIS to ask questions about Hysterectomy and how long it takes to feel better, etc. So I ask her would that be the DISterectomy Forums

 

[DiznyDi]

Thanks Kathy for the pictures. Loved looking at them this evening.

Nice project, Muush! What handsome hardware! Sounds wonderful. Post some progress pictures so we can all enjoy with you.

Wishing all Groupies a nice week-end!

Must admit, this made me laugh.

Muushka: Love the mission style cabinets and the pulls.

I'm flattered, though it was just a quick ditty I thought up while at the shop today. Certainly, feel free to use it wherever you wish, if you wish.

KAT: Great pics! Made me long for VWL. SO went there today to see about WL specific coffee mugs. They were out our entire stay this past early December, so she was thrilled to find them. Naturally, she had to needle me about being there vice here in the cold. lol

 

[blossomz]

Love all of the photos..

Hey, I think Sleepy's poem should start off our next thread! What do you guys think?

Welcome!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, everyone! I truly appreciate it and look forward to sharing more in the future!

A special thanks to sleepydog25 for the awesome poem/song.

We have been so busy getting ready for our daughter's bday party tomorrow and getting ready for our Sunday departure to VWL that I had not had a change to get back here and thank you all. The above, and out-of-town relatives staying with us, will keep me very busy this weekend!!

I will certainly post some feedback and pics when I return.

Until then, have a great week!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Glad the pictures were enjoyed!!

Ah Mickey....reminds me of the good old days (2010).

Kathy...thanks for the great pix on this cold winter's day.

I guess I need to get an updated photo. Poor Mickey - given the boot.

Oh my yes! I love Lefse. Lutefisk is just something better left for someone else

Oh yes! If you have to drown it in butter to eat it then I'd say there's something wrong.

 

[Muushka]

I once heard a description of Lutefisk in the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous. EEEEwwwwwWW

OK, here we go again. Mom is really down except this time it is not really about her cancer (she is doing fairly well with this round of chemo so far). My 1st cousin (her nephew) has been in the hospital for several weeks. He is only 50, but he has COPD and got double pneumonia. The doctors are not giving my aunt much hope and things do not look very good. Anyway, Mom is taking it really hard and I am not too far behind her.

Plus all the snow we have been having here lately is getting to all of us. Don't know how some of y'all handle all this mess. We were only supposed to get about an inch Friday and we ended up with 7. We are possibly going to get a little more tomorrow (Sunday) and then some more on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Our area of Texas is not supposed to be going thru this. As my son says. . . . give us a break!!! Mmmmmm, I guess those of you that have been getting more of this than us feel the same. And to top it all off we had a water line under the house break today! DH did not like getting that phone call from me today. Thanks for letting me have this little weather vent. I try to remember that just a month ago I was in the Caribbean. Seems like forever!

EEEEwwwwwWW

That my friend, is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!
