We were in bldg 38 in a studio, which was great because we could watch golfers from our balcony. Then in a 1 bed in bldg 39, no golf view but a pond with fountain. Bldg 37 or 38 would be my preference. But any 1 beds you cant go wrong

Walk to HH area, maybe 10 mins. Really quiet back in TP, the way we like it.

Thanks for the info. JT!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY!!!

Good Morning Groupies

I'm here in St Pete at my daughter's and Wow
Why don't We Live Here?

I'm sitting next to the most beautiful Jasmine Hedge 6ft high and in full bloom.
This morning I walked just steps to the small sea wall with my tea and watched the sun rise
over the intercoastal water way and last night we walked
in the oppisit direction passed just 4 houses
and over a small sand dune to watch the sunset.
She lives in the far point of St Pete Beach.
It's a small very friendly little community, no high rises just small quirky little houses.
Tomorrow I'll be going to work with her to help out in her classroom.


We left WDW last Sunday and had a Wonderful visit.
DH had some challenges this trip with an ankle sprain
so we're very limitted in what we could do.
Still just being in the world always makes me happy
and staying at the BCV made it easier to enjoy the Flower Show in shot frequent visits.
Happy to report that by the end of the trip his ankle did improve a great deal.
Nothing like a little rest, ice, and elevation pool side to heal a sprained ankle and more.

Off to catch up

take care groupies

Oh and Happy Belated Birthday Granny!!!

It sounds like the vacation was a great one! I hope MR TP's ankle heals quickly. WDW is a difficult place to be with a foot injury.

Oh, and you are not late on the birthday. Today is the big day!!

Hello Groupies!

We too are back from our time in the World... got home Sunday night. Yesterday was a crazy day at work, as you might imagine, so limited time available to post anything.

We had a wonderful time. OKW was terrific - love, love, love the spaciousness of that 2 BR. WOW. As I shared with Muush via text, DW was actually talking about possibly picking up some points there. But VWL remains her first love, so I'm pretty sure OKW will not edge out VWL for our next purchase. After all availability is not an issue at OKW very often, whereas it is at our beloved lodge... so, we keep talking, and talking, and talking about it. Hopefully soon.

We did spend part of our day on Wednesday at the Lodge, and as always, it is so nice and peaceful there. Breakfast at the WCC was great, and since it was my DD's birthday, they gave her a cupcake to go, and sang to her.

I'm uploading some pictures to share, and will post some here soon. Work was being on on the boardwalk path between the boat launch and the pool, with several sections of brand new wood that still needed the aging treatment to fit in with the rest of it. The bus stops were being worked on, with part of the road dug up and being replaced, so a temporary stop was in place out in the parking lot; and a huge crane was working on something above the porte cachere. It's nice to see Disney keeping the Lodge fresh.

We didn't get a chance to connect with tea pot this time around, , (I didn't put enough thought into it soon enough to make something happen) - but hopefully next time we'll be able to meet up with whomever happens to be there at the same time.

I'll post the pics as soon as I can.

Aw shucks folks, that's downright kind of you all to send the fond wishes. Thank you all so much!

So, Granny, where shall we meet you for the big party? WD said it's his treat today!!

Lets go someplace different, California Grill????

Well, DW and I are getting ready to head to Portabello restaurant for my b-day dinner. Why don't you all come and join us!

 

[Granny]

Had to share with you guys...my wife surprised me this morning when we went to EPCOT and I found that she had booked the Segway tour. That's something I've wanted to do for years! It was a ton of fun and a wonderful gift. It is a little pricy even with the DVC 15% discount but IMHO it is well worth it. Two hours of fun including a romp through World Showcase before it opened to the public.

All in all, a very nice day.

Welcome home Stopher! Looking forward to the pictures!

Some midweek pick-me-ups... from our visit to the Lodge last week on Wednesday


The landscaping is in bloom

Mickey in his rightful place

New boards - still in need of "aging" or "character paint"

Breakfast anyone?

How about some Ketchup?

It's Not a Breakfast Drink... really

Getting Ready to go Swim

Temporary Bus Stop

Something Being Done to the Main Building

 

[MiaSRN62]

Love the photos stopher !

Ha ha....who asked for that red condiment ???!!
The breakfast looks YUM. I've had dinner several times at WC, but never breakfast.

I needed it - but funny thing is... the folks at the table next to ours was ready to leave before we even ordered. Their server asked if anyone needed ketchup, so I raised my hand, and she had them deliver it to us... right next door! Then our server came and asked how we got ketchup before we even had food?!?! When we told her, she started making a ruckus yelling at her fellow server. Then even before our food came - another table needed it, so the kids were sent off with all of it but one bottle. Not too bad if you ask me.

 

[Muushka]

Thanks for the pics Stoph. Mickey is back!!!

Soooooo. It looks like we are outgrowing this thread too! 23 more pages and we are history.

4 jobs.

1. The starter of the thread

2. The keeper of the travel dates

3. The announcer of the birthdays

4. ALL OF US!!!!

I was the keeper of the dates and passed it on to Stopher (who rocks!).
Rumor has it that he still wants to do it!

I do the birthdays. But if anyone else
(maybe someone who is good at graphics!) wants to do it, please feel free.

Eliza has been the official thread starter since our first thread was started
(how many versions has it been??? 6.0???). Eliza?? Anybody??

And with text messages (which I receive occasionally from a certain someone when he is at the world) those involved might want to use the great technology so that it can start, then the dates, then the birthdays. Do I have too much time on my hands???
