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

[stopher1]

Hi stopher1:
Hmmmm.... not sure what happened last night when I posted my pledge... that bottom line suddenly changed when I clicked on "submit reply"!

Could this count as part of my "dues" to you/sleepydog25?

And if you are still hungry and there for lunch....

Oh yes.... we need shakes now....

After eating two skillets and a few shakes.. a nap is required...

DH would be bouncing off the walls with one of these skillet dishes and not sure if he would share it with me. Those ribs... look aweome. Must go here to eat during our second week. WOW...

Trish

That'll work. Welcome aboard once more.

Barb - that cruise sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Trish - yep, snow. Ugh. We only got about 2 or 3 inches where I live. It was about 8 inches in Green Bay. Very wet heavy snow. Its sunny today so it should melt. Just disheartening to look outside and see white again. I hope my tulips still bloom. We just bought this house a few months ago and I was anxious to see what flowers would come up in the spring.

Bon Voyage Muush! Have a wonderful trip!

Welcome to all the new groupies!

Barb & Nicoal enjoy your vacations!

We are enjoying ourselves in DC so far. Yesterday we viewed an exhibit at the Museum of American History called America at War: The Price of Freedom. It was quite moving and educational. So I wanted to pose a little Trivia question to the groupies. Many of us have eaten at the Liberty Tree Tavern, but how many know origin of the Liberty Tree and it's significance?

 

[Muushka]

Thanks all! franandaj, great trivia question. I wanted to cheat and google, but decided to be honest.

I was just thinking that I might be away when we switch threads.

As far as the birthday list, what should we do? I can still keep track of it and just PM someone far up on the new thread when something needs to be added. Or if anyone else would like to keep track, that would be fine too. Just let me know. Or don't talk amongst yourselves while I am away. Maybe just PM everyone??

Nope. I'm holding out for Artist Point. . .

Have a great trip Muushka!

Today is our anniversary and guess what I did? Threw DH on a plane back to Boston at 6 am! Thankfully his flight ended up being a little delayed b/c we were almost all the way to the airport when he remembered he hadn't grabbed some boots he needed to do some hiking over the weekend in NH. So, Anniversary wife drops him off so he can get his luggaged checked in, drives back home IN THE SNOW that is coming down like crazy (it's now 5:15 am), and drives back to the airport to toss the boots out the window to him so he can run and make his flight. I went back to bed for a couple hours after that trip!

But according to my ticker it's 26 days until we're at WDW!

Yuck! I bet you couldn't wait to go outside and make snow angels this morning!

Congrats on your new home and wishing you many happy years there... how exciting!

WeatherBug has been chirping on my PC for quite some time and get this... we are in a frost warning for tonight! It's 65 right now and a beautiful day. This is crazy. So much for enjoying the flowers on my weeping cherry, magnolia and some of our crab apple trees that are just starting to open. If it's not the heat that kills the buds, it will be the cold. I'm not liking Mother Nature right now.

Hope the snow melted by you today. Think warm thoughts... vacation is almost here!

Have a wonderful time in DC! I can't answer the trivia question unless I cheat and do a Google search. LOL

Enjoy the rest of your stay in DC!

Whatever you want to do with the birthday list is fine with me.

Don't worry... we'll be good while your on your cruise! Maybe...

Happy Anniversary!!! I have to say you gave your hubby one heck of an anniversary gift! I love how you "threw DH on a plane to Boston!", drove all the way back home in the snow to get him his hiking boots! The visual I'm getting is a riot! WTG!!!

26 more days and you'll be on vacation at WDW! Awesome!

I know that Jimmy and other Groupies are big US history buffs, but I'll jump in on this. The Liberty Tree originated in Boston as the Sons of Liberty used to meet under it after the Stamp Act got them all in an uproar. I know that lanterns were hung in the branches but don't remember the significance of that. The tree became a rallying point and symbol of the patriot resistance to unfair British tax policies, and later for independence itself.

Hi sleepydog25:

Hi stopher1 & sleepydog25:

Well... I'm in trouble now! DH saw this picture of "food" and was wondering what it was. I had to scroll quickly so he didn't see my handle (shh.... it's a secret....). Anyway I had to tell him about this skillet dish and he said "I want it!". I said "I know honey and we can get it if you like." I then explain that it's family style, where we can have it, etc. and we share it. He says "I'm not sharing this with you!" I gave DH "the look" and said "it's family style and you can have as much as you want". He then agreed to share it with me.. sweet, eh? Needless to say... we will be having lunch there and getting the skillet. Yes I'll take pictures!

Well thank you Granny for the explanation. Pretty interesting and pretty current in today's environment. I watched "The King's Speech" last night an found that history really is interesting!

Happy anniversary Kat4! You are a good wife!

We are celebrating our 19th on this cruise, 4/25. Don't you love marriage? Happy planning.

Hi Muushka:

Congratulations and wishing you and DH many more happy years together!

Hugs!
