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

[Dizny Dad]

Hi folks,

My mom sent this link to me from AllEars.net today. It's one of the nicest film clips of the Lodge that I've ever seen. Nice soundtrack, too. . . . . . . . . .

WOW! Made me want to hit the DVC Hot Tub this morning!

This is awesome. can't wait to show the "old guy". We are in serious Disney withdrawal.

Love the soundtrack. Funny though I always associate it with the "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials. I kept waiting to her Robert Mitchums voice. LOL
Happy Wednesday Gang.

That was awesome! But I have to say that couch is still ugly. Sorry Granny!

Good morning Groupies -

Well 3 more days until we leave for our home away from home. My foot is maybe a little bit better but it still hurts a good bit. I will say the Crocs I bought have really helped a lot. I can't go back to wearing my Topsiders anymore. The soles just feel too hard compared to the Crocs. Don't you hate it when you're in trip preparation mode and other stuff comes up to interfere? Well all of a sudden we have plumbing problems. We had a leaky facet in our shower. I called a plumber thinking it would be a simple matter of changing a washer and they are actually have to replace everything. I hate to see the bill when they are finished. I guess that is what happens when you live in an old house like ours.

Anyway, I am really excited about leaving for WDW on Saturday morning. I plan to be rolling out of the driveway at 6:00, which should put us pulling into WDW around 4:00.

I plan to do something a little different this trip. I usually do a Live Report here each trip, but this time I plan to upload pictures daily to Photobucket and post them in the report like DVCMike does.

Have a nice day.

Have a great trip Wolfpack! I hope your foot doesn't give you too much trouble.

What a great video of the Lodge. I really enjoyed that this morning!

Oh be Still my heart... thanks so much

WolfpackFan glad the Crocs helped they worked for me now try Sleeping in your Sneakers Really the physical therapist recommended this to me and it does work. It helps because it keeps your calf muscles stretched. Try it for the few nights before you leave and you'll feel the deference.
Best of Luck and have a Wonderful Trip

P.S. 66 Days till our Holiday trip to Our Beloved Lodge

Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed the video...I agree that it is one of the better ones I've seen and the music is well done too. Nice that includes some good coverage of the Villas too.

That was awesome! But I have to say that couch is still ugly. Sorry Granny!

Wow, that sofa is even nicer than I remembered it. It just keeps getting better and better!

Hello Groupies!

I'm going to say what we say over on the Dad's Club thread when we've been gone for a while and have too many pages to catch up on. It's a simple one word statement that we all just understand in a heartbeat when we see it. Not to say that the Groupies need to adopt it as well, I'm just saying it since it's pretty ingrained and was the first thing that came to my mind...

CRUD

Lots of life going on here and I've been so busy to even post. Plus I was out in the woods all weekend long (sadly no moose were around however) - but there were beavers, bears, foxes, owls, bobwhites, eagles, buffalo and some antelope too. Sadly not literally. I was in my second weekend of my Wood Badge training for Scouts - and those were the names of the patrols that we were all broken up into. I am a Fox. For those that don't know about it, Wood Badge is the highest level of adult training there is. It's a kind of difficult one too, that encompasses two 3 day weekends - plus involves completing a 5-goal project that must be completed within 18 months in order to graduate. It's been around since 1919, and about 100,000 people worldwide have completed it. Not a huge percentage when you consider the more than 3 million adult leaders who've been involved in the Scouting program since it's inception in 1910 here in the states.

I'll try to read back and get caught up - but with this weekend, and going on another Scout campout, I'm sure I'll just fall behind once more. Oh well. I hope you all have a great day!

Gosh!

What are we doing at the bottom of the Thread page? With all the rain the east coast is having, we could drowned down there.

Keep treading . . I mean threading!

Nights and mornings are starting to get cooler...autumn is in the air! Time to pull up a chair by the fireplace.

Thanks for the warm thoughts!

DinyDi loves to have us sit in the rockers at the Inglenook after coming in from the 95°F heat in summer, too. The A/C is cold don't you know!

I posted this as a separate thread elsewhere in the Mouscellaneous forum but thought a few of you might enjoy the pixie dust story here. . .

Hey remember me? Yeesh. DD has been using the computer so much lately to do homework that I haven't been on it in about 2 weeks. I quick read through and kind of got caught up. I just gotta say you guys are awesome with the way you support everyone.
Kathy and TwoKats - I hope your Moms are doing well.
WD - Thanks for sharing with us about your wife. Sounds like she has quite the husband!
Stopher - Glad your wife's visit went well.
Horselover - Good luck with the home schooling!
My thoughts and prayers are with all our groupies and families who need them right now.

Hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I will be able to check in sooner!
Love you all!

Hey, I'm watching my first informercial for dvc on network tv. It's on CBS, it's primarily about the Hawaii club.

 

[blossomz]

Eliza...what time was it on? Would have liked feeling a little magic!:

Horselover..I am a spec Ed teacher. If you ever need some advice pm me! It is definitely tough for kids with special needs once they leave 3rd. Grade.

Granny,
LOVE the fireplace photo. It is so nice here in Texas I've had the windows open all day. Even had to grab a sweater this morning early for church. Would love to be sitting by that fireplace right now!

Oh boy I could have used one of these this morning and yesterday morning. Was out on another Scout campout, and it was getting downright chilly. It was a brisk 40 yesterday morning and an even more brisk 36 this morning. This is lookin' good right about now...
