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

[stopher1]

Tea with that Monday morning breakfast! Can't wait TP!!! Isn't Stopher a sweetie sharing his table with us!

I think this growing table has now made the 1 pm meet #3 though...

I agree that all of ya'll that will be at these meets this year need to send us lots of details from each meet with lots of pictures.

I'll definitely have my camera!

 

[wildernessDad]

I hope that someone summarizes all of these meets. I'm getting confused.

Muushka and I arent in competition to have groupie meets, we are working together on this one to get as many groupies as we can to a meet, and the schedules just wont overlap enough for just one meet!! So the last few days we have been PMing behind your backs(really dastardly if you ask me) to make all this work.


So for those who cant make meet #2, we are thinking towards a Fri. Dec. 3 meet at 1pm. This will be meet #1. We are hoping to have Ranger Stan and his sweetie Carolyn at both meets. How would this time work for those who will be around then?

We won't be arriving until the 4th so the meet on the 3rd won't work. On Monday the 6th, I'm at AKV with family and will be at Tusker House for lunch. Don't plan the meet around me, I'm pretty well booked with family that week. If something pops up that I can fit in, I'll try to get there.

Anyone else being buried in water tonight? We've had more than 7 inches of rain tonight. Roads are closed as they have turned into rivers. Cars have been swept away, water is everywhere. Still under tornado watches and warnings tonight- has been going on for 5 hours now.

Oh my. Praying everything's okay, and everyone okay. We had a huge storm pass through Indy today, but nothing like you've just described.

You're kidding, right? We live to write down plans!!

I will put them all on that first page once things are finalized (in addition to current page).

Okie dokie Jimmy?

We're in for breakfast!

DDad says if we can't get a bus, we'll take a taxi. We'll be at SSR then, but we're usually in the hot tub by 6 anyway. So we'll just come on over when we're done!

I just Love You Guys

Inkmahm, I hope everything will be all right weather wise. Rain can be a scary thing.

 

[DiznyDi]

Sending sunshine your way, Inkmahm!

Slight time change, but that's okay. Will allow Di and Dad a few extra minutes to get over from SSR. 8:35 now.

25,000 customers without power right now. Airport closed. Should be interesting come morning to see what everything looks like. I know I have a lake in my backyard but my basement is dry (we live on a hill). So many streets are closed. They are pleading on the news for people to stay home and treat this as we do bad snowstorms- no driving unless it is an emergency.

I feel sorry for all the people who have flooded homes and cars. We had a similar storm a week ago and many people just got their basements cleaned up from that one!

I'll plan to dry off now . . . . looking forward to it! (Breakfast, not drying off)

Granny

Yes the former Iron Spike Room, now known as the Carolwood Pacific Room at VWL.

Muushka

Putting that on the 1st page is a great idea.

As time approaches, I will send a PM to all who will be in WDW around the date for the 1st meet.

Inkmahm

Sending Moose Dust and prayers that you wake this morning to sunny skies and no damage

 

[Inkmahm]

Morning: The water is down in my yard so it just looks like trampled grass from the current. Still have a dry basement so I'm grateful for the clay in this area. Murder on trying to grow trees, etc. but great for keeping water from soaking in.

Airport is still closed and isn't supposed to open until at least noon. People are still without power and it is supposed to be really hot and very humid today with dew points in the mid 70's. Good news is that the cars that were swept away are losses but the people got out so I've heard of no deaths yet. Cars can be replaced.

Oh, yeah. And it is still raining today with no end in sight until tomorrow. At least it is a normal rain today and not the downpour of yesterday. I don't think I've ever seen it rain that hard before in my life.

Thanks for all the prayers- I"m sure they helped!

 

[Muushka]

Poor Inky! What a mess. I hope everyone will be all right.

 

[blossomz]

Ink...hope you will be dry and safe today!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I didn't know things were that badInkmahn.

 

[wildernessDad]

Hugs go out to Inkmahn. I hope everybody is well this fine Friday.

 

[DiznyDi]

Totally OT...

My sister gave me this recipe yesterday and I think it's worth sharing. If you like meat loaf:
2# ground meat
2 eggs
1 pkg Stove Top stuffing mix

Mix together all ingredients. Spoon into loaf pan, pat firm, and cover with ketchup. Bake uncovered 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours.

It's surprising how good this is. quick and easy! DS will also put mix into muffin cups and freeze, removing from pan when frozen and returning frozen 'meatloaf muffins' to freezer for later use.

Hope you're drying out this afternoon Inkmahm.

Wishing all Groupies a pleasant and enjoyable week-end!

Wow did I miss alot in the last couple of days!!!! I'll try to catch up as much as possible.

Recovery is a lot slower than I was expecting and on top of it I found out I have an infection from the surgery. So that is slowing things down a bit. On the up side I am getting lots of reading done and trying to sit out and enjoy some of this beautiful weather we are having.

Sorry the recovery isn't faster but I'm glad you can see a bright side to it!!

HEY - I just noticed the tag fairy found me!!!

Good for you! I'm still waiting but I'm pretty boring so I don't expect anything anytime soon!

Nice Granny! Moose martinis for a virtual meet it is! So who will join me?

I will as long as I can have it alcohol free!!

I have been having a lot of computer problems and was finally able to get back on. THANK YOU EVERYONE for the birthday wishes. I really have to say that I love this group. It is just a friendly environment and I am so glad we own here

Glad you are here!

How fun is this????

Not fun for us poor folks who can't go Actually I'm happy for those who can. Just jealous I can't be one of you!

Yikes. That isn't good. I'm glad you are okay though and that there haven't been any deaths.


I hope everyone has a great weekend. We are here in Pennsylvania and tomorrow we have a big family picnic. The temp. is supposed to be close to 100!!! Kind of puts a damper on picnic games!

Officially the second most rain we've ever had in a day in Milwaukee. The airport where they do the official measurement got 6+ inches. Other parts of town got 7 and 8 inches. The TV station I listen to said they got over 7 inches in an hour!

Driving around this afternoon you'd almost not have any idea about the rain last night. It was a sunny afternoon and just a few signs of standing water. Only one house in my subdivision has a pile of wet trash and torn out carpeting at the end of their driveway so that's not too bad. Lots of water logged cars all over the city though.

The relative I was most worried about had a dry basement so they made it through okay.

Thanks for all the well wishes! I've seen enough rain to last me for awhile.




Edit: Drove around again this morning on our way to the vet and there are more houses now with piles of ripped out carpeting and bags of wet stuff to throw away. Probably 4 of them with BIG piles and then a few more with just a few things.
