What part of CO is this? I lived in C. Springs for three years back in the early 90s and loved it. I don't think they want me back now.And here we are at our land in Colorado, where we will build our own "Wilderness Lodge" of logs over the next couple years!
Muush - We, too, are glad to hear Lexie is doing better.
Horselover - 12 more days - COOL!(DiznyDi syas we are at about the 50 days out mark!) Guard those expectations of how much Dsis will love The Lodge; if your not a groupie, somehow you just may not see what we see.
DD is physically getting better, but at a much slower rate than she wants. She has no stamina to sustain much, so needs lots of rest throughout the day. Her emotions are taking a beating right now. The different pain management drugs and routines are causing some depression, which is hard to battle. There are many tears during the day, surrounded by times of laughter and gratefulness. DSIL is working hard serving his congregation every day and tending to DD all night; a great man with such depth of heart and caring. DD & DSIL will be with us until the middle of April, then it will be off to their nice little house in western PA. Both are looking forward to that day. DiznyDi & I had kind of gotten used to being empty nesters, but have welcomed the life (and extra dog) back into the house. Thanks for all concerned and for prayers.
... thinking about Christmas. Any wild and crazy chance I might be able to get a room (the week b/w Xmas and NYE) once the points are in my account? Unfortunately I think it might be another 30 days before this happens. Just thought I'd ask you experts! Also, does anyone ever hear from Stan? I met him when we last stayed at WL in 2008 and just think the world of him. He gave us a wonderful tour... did someone replace him (not that is he is replaceable!!!)? Thanks everyone! 
OK so while I am anxiously waiting through the ROFR period, I am doing a little bit of planning
. Yup, Ranger Stan has been replaced by Ranger I cannot remember his name! We did the Lodge tour with him this past December and thought he was wonderful. Not Stan, but it is an apples/oranges thing. Both are different, but I enjoy them both (well, not the apples anymore, I'm allergic, but I digress....
). JimmyTammy keeps up with him and we had him as our guest of honor at 2 Groupie meets in Dec!
There is hope, though it might be slim. However, I know of a certain someone who closed on a VWL contract 20 Apr of last year, and once points were in the system a few days later, snagged split-stay ressies at SSR and VWL, then went on the waitlist. Long story short, after a few months of calling frequently, we wound up with the complete reservation being at VWL, no split stay. Granted, that was the first week of December, but hopefully, this gives you a ray of hope. Good luck!OK so while I am anxiously waiting through the ROFR period, I am doing a little bit of planning
Colorado is a gorgeous state, and I loved the summer weather pattern. In fact, I enjoyed the weather there pretty much year-round and loved the hiking/running/biking scene. For the record, I'll eat anything.
I have thought about adding a Moose, but don't want to jinx myself until my contract passes ROFR!!! I promise once that happens it will be the first thing I do
The following is totally 
Just logging on to the site for the first time today. It's been a busy morning.
No I'm not in Scotland. Somone hacked into my e-mail account and sent the bogus "HELP" e-mail to everyone in my address book. I've been getting calls all morning from friends and acquaintances asking about the e-mail.
Basically, it said that I am in Scotland, got mugged and need money. But it doesn't say how to get money to me. Just a needless nuisance meant to cause my life problems, I guess.
The hacker also cleaned out my In Box, Sent and Trash folders as well as my Address Book.
It doesn't appear any harm was done to my computer, but it will take a long time to re-construct address book, etc.
So if anyone (incl WD) gets that e-mail, just delete it. I'm fine and it's totally bogus. But thank you for your concern.
Yeah, I got it. My last reply to them stated that I wasn't going to wire the funds, because it could be fraud. Thanks for coming on and verifying that it was fraud.
Sorry your account was hacked. I'm glad you are all safe. I'm glad I didn't send them any money.
My gosh, I'm so glad you didn't send money. I'm praying that anyone that knows me won't be sending money. I'm afraid my actions wouldn't be very Christian if I ever met up with this cyber scam artist.
