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

[franandaj]

Muushka,
I didn't realize you lived where they had such devastation. I'm glad you and yours are OK. Sorry your families did not show concern.

 

[Muushka]

I'm sorry your family wasn't more concerned for your well being Barb, but I'm so glad you're ok. Hope all is well with JT & family. I agree wholeheartedly on your last statement!

Muushka,

You guys. I wasn't complaining about our families, I was extolling the virtues of our wonderful Groupies!!

I feel truly blessed and
I'm so grateful for you Groupies... my kindred spirits.

Hey folks

Its been a tough week around here. We are having to put our dog to sleep this afternoon. Her hind end is no longer going, and sadly, she cant make it anymore. She would be 15 this Fri. Its like letting a child go. And on top of that, DDs graduation is fast approaching and we are dealing with that stuff too.

Anyone that sees fit, please lift our family up as we deal with life issues.

Jimmy My heart goes out to you and your family.
Our Pets are a part of our family no matter how old they are when you love them so It's very hard to let them go.
Praying for you all.

. Pets bring us immeasurable joy.
Wrapping you up in some virtual love. Stay well my friends.

Absolutely !!!

Morning Groupies.

Stopher
You made our Happy Place look so peaceful...
enjoy your new adventure!

3 more weeks until our trip!

Happy Count Down Dance

Slight activity on the board so far this morning (as in none), so how about a pic to get things going. . .

Taken this past Christmas, and lordy it was cold!

:Sleepy, yup, we sure do remember that cold period!! Burrrrr In fact, it is because of that extreme cold and crowds that we are skipping WDW this year at that time. We loved going the week before Thanksgiving, we will probably do that next year.

Sleepydog We were there too!
Oh Muush No December Trip
Are the decorations up the week before Thanksgiving ?

and Muush

We are doing OK. The night before, we had been at a graduation party for DD very near where storm hit in our county. A plumber who has worked for us on occasion lost all his shops, his materials, everything. Really sad for all the folks whose lives are forever changed.

I find myself so often talking about the folks I know on this thread, something that I learned, something funny I can share thats been shared here. Point is, this really is family. As the Bible says, a friend sticketh closer than a brother. We are glad to be able to share the good, and fortunate to share the bad where we are not judged, just loved. Thats what the groupies have been for me, time and time again.

Happy Birthday Teapot and DisneyNutzy!! Hope you both enjoyed your day

Barb - I was wondering about you! My internet was down here, and I'm glad to find out you are ok as well as some other friends I have in the area. Scary! Prayers to those affected.

Seeing that picture again, teapot, elicits a huge grin from me even in spite of the temp hovering below 40F at that particular moment.

Muushka: I live a good 3+ hours away from you, and my mom (who lives in Amarillo) called me up to ask if the tornadoes near you affected me. lol Glad to hear you're okay, though.

So sorry for your friend. I cannot imagine.

This happens to us all the time! Family from California will see some terrible weather story on the news from "the midwest" and call to see if we're affected. Never mind that "the midwest" is identified as Iowa, or Missouri, or Ohio in the news stories... I don't know, but the last time I checked, Indiana is NOT part of any of those states, and does kind of stand alone as a state within the union. Maybe it's just me, but when we see news stories talking about some form of destruction in Northern California, we don't call our SOUTHERN California family to inquire about their safety. Hmmm, maybe we should and then they too can think we've gone a bit daft as well. I guess Geography really isn't some people's strong points, now is it? I will give it to them that they are interested, and care, but sheesh...

Mom's usually fairly sharp, but all she knew was a) there had been tornadoes in NC b) I live near NC, and c) she hadn't called me in a few days. lol Now, the two weekends before there were tornadoes nearby but no one was killed, nor did they make the national news. I've never lived in a huge tornado-risk area, though I have lived in areas prone to earthquakes and/or blizzards, and/or drought. I prefer living where none of the above is frequently found.

Well Hello WLV lovers......

Myself and Time4disney are both owners at Wilderness Lodge Villas and have stayed here every trip we have owned DVC except for our last trip in March. We will be back in June for our next stay at WLV. It is good to know that we have some folks that are like us out there and just love the place like we do.

My favorite thing to do is head to the beach after a long day and catch the Electric Water Pageant and then Wishes from the beach. What better way to end the day as you walk back to our home away from home

I am also glad that everyone here is ok after the storms....

 

[horselover]

Welcome to the groupies capttigger! Sounds like you're going to fit in here just fine!

 

[I Book He Pays]

Hi Everyone:

I met Muushka on another thread and she told me how awesome this group is and asked me to join in... so here I am!

Hi Muushka - I made it!!
DH/I are going to WDW for two weeks next month and will be staying on property for the first week via. timeshare exchange. The second week we'll be off property but do plan on going back and visiting our favorite resorts (one of them is VWL). Haven't been to WDW since 2003 and we are really psyched.

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to all of you! Looking forward to chatting you!

Have a great day!
Trish
