VWL Lovers & Groupies Thread: Meese-ka, Mice-ka MOOSE-kateers

[eliza61]

I can now openly say this now because the press conference was about 10 days ago. We cared for and delivered a high risk mom with sextuplets here in PA. The month of May was stressful for our OB team---and the patient went into labor and delivered in early June. We had so many meetings and drills to practice for the delivery in the weeks preceeding the blessed event while we cared for her on our high risk unit.
Then I flew my middle child in from Tallahassee to be at her younger sister's high school graduation last week. And my son was in a wedding in Missouri for a week and got home on Father's Day (I was a little on-edge about him being in MO with the rash of recent bad tornados there). So just lots of hectic-ness ! <is that a word ?>
I will go back and try to catch up the best I can. But in the meantime, hope everyone is well !!!!!

Well done Maria!! I'm in your neck of the woods so that story was all over the news.
Who'd ever think you need a drill practice for women giving birth but then the idea of 6 kids at one time shuts my brain down.

try and catch a breathe. you have been busy.

Eliza...too funny with the zebra rug. Don't let those zebra lovers see you though.

Maria...congratulations to you and your team for your amazing work. It must be fulfilling to have a job that has such a positive impact on other people's lives.

Jill...always great to "see" you here, and it sounds like the Mom's Panel is a lot of work and fun. Thanks for all the WL/VWL photos. It seems that you are doing a great job of showing off our beloved Lodge to a lot of potential Groupies.

Wow Cheer4. You have got the COOLEST JOB in the world!! Good to see you and thank you for sharing it with us!

Whoah! Maria! You have been a busy girl (but not quite as busy as that mom!). Not many nurses can put that on their resume!

Jill
You stop by when you can, we know you represent us well.Good to see you back.

I Book
Normally my weekends are work filled, Sun. is a day of rest, but last night, me, our DS and a DF from back in my HS days did something very uncharacteristic of myself. We went to a concert. Used to go all the time in my before marriage days, but the shows got too pricey for me. Last night we went to see Heart and Def Leppard and both were great! Had to wear ear plugs, but still enjoyed it. Had seen both on a few occasions back in the day, and both still are on their game these days. Showing my age

Ahhhh. Heart. One of my favorite bands, and for sure my favorite gal-band.
Crazy on You, Barracuda, Dreamboat Annie....I could go on, but I won't.
Oh, I can't help it. Does anyone else love that Dreamboat Annie song, the way they do different renditions of it on the album? Love it!

And now, setting my music preferences aside.....

Tomorrow! Another wonderful Groupie Birthday!!

Happy Birthday SlimpLaw!

So, where will lunch be? To celebrate the sextuplets birth,
Maria is treating!!!​

Hi Groupies:

cheer4bison ~ Beautiful pictures of the lodge during the holidays. Thanks for sharing. I bet you are proud to part of the mom's panel and helping so many families planning their vacation.

KAT4DISNEY ~ DH would find every remote and have every TV on listening to CNBC making sure he doesn't miss anything. I can see it now! LOL Your pictures are really nice and vivid. I'll have to check into the Sony cameras.

eliza61 ~ ACK.. zebra rug?

horselover ~ We have to go to AKL and save the zebras... also train them to play nicely!

SlimpLaw ~ Happy birthday and have a great day!

MiaSRN61 ~ You sure have been busy, especially at work. Sextuplets? WOW... I sure hope the parents will have family/friends helping them out.

jimmytammy ~ Def Leppard/Heart were two of my favorite groups to listen to! I haven't been to a concert in twenty plus years due to cost of the tickets. Even with ear plugs it had to be a blast! WTG!

Have a great day everyone and enjoy!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks for all the understanding and words of support my Groupie friends ! Busy today too---have family coming over for a bbq. Finally the sun is out after 3 days of barely any !

 

[jimmytammy]

Happy Birthday Slimplaw!!

I kept waiting for Dreamboat Annie and they never played itOnly thing I can figure is they were playing to a hard rock kinda crowd, but I saw several 70s teens there, so they would have known the music. They did play Barracuda, Crazy on You, Heartless, etc., but it was their hard edge stuff from those days. Lots of 80s music including These Dreams, so DA would have fit just fine

 

[wildernessDad]

c2b, Love the pics. That pizza looks good!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Happy Birthday Slimplaw!

Yes, if they did These Dreams they could have done our Dreamboat Annie!

Did you ever see that concert they did a couple of years ago where they had an orchestra and did every song from that album? I have it on DVD somewhere, it was great.
I wish I could have seen it, DA or not!

 

[Nicoal13]

Wow that AKV GV is amazing! I want to move there. I stayed in a studio at Kidani last year with some friends and we loved the savannah view, I can only imagine having such wonderful balconies like that. I would never want to leave!

We finally got a couple days of nice weather here after what seemed like 2 weeks of cold and rain. Today was gorgeous. DH is out mowing the lawn after coming home from a guys fishing trip. Sounds like a lot of shenanigans were had. DS and I spent the weekend with my Grandma, she came and stayed with us at our house. Played a lot of Scrabble with her, went shopping and out to lunch.

Mia - what an amazing miracle. I can't imagine having 6 babies. Unreal.

 

[Nicoal13]

Your poor son. When I was around 30 I got an ear infection. I could not believe the pain. I hope he feels better soon.

DS is feeling better. Its amazing what those antibiotics can do.

 

[kamikazecat]

Just wanted to touch base with you wonderful groupies. We are about to complete week one of our two week stay at the VWL and we are absolutely in love with this resort. We are in a beautiful studio overlooking the quiet pool and it is in excellent condition. Both the main pool and quiet pool are perfect for our 5yo boy who has decided that he likes this pool better than storm-a-long bay (where we spent our last week).

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who answered my questions about being the flag family. We inquired when we checked in and were shocked to be awarded July 4th. We are thrilled that we will get to raise the flag on such an important occasion. We will take tons of pictures.

I was so worried that I wouldn't like this resort as much as our beloved BLT. It turns out that I was wrong and will be an anxious 7 month booker from here on out. I am so glad I took a chance on this resort.

Barb
I vaguely remember seeing that Heart show on HDNet. Any show they do is amazing. They both know how to rock!! They did Led Zeppelin as an encore, in fact, sounded better than Robert Plant IMO.

Nicoal
Glad your DS is on the way to recovery

Kamikaze
Great snag! It is an honor to participate, but July 4, that is an honor all unto itself. Have a great time and soak it all in!! And glad you like VWL, all of us here are sorta partial too it

Sounds like Addonitis beginning a slow eruption in the kamikazecat household.

Try cold compresses, asprin, and lots of rest. It wont work, and the thoughts of The Lodge will continue breaking into your daily thoughts, but it will make you feel like you made your best effort to delay your new home resort.

 

[Muushka]

DS is feeling better. Its amazing what those antibiotics can do.

Oh good! Glad he is feeling better.

(When I had my 'wicked' ear infection the ENT guy did a controlled puncture of my ear drum rather than letting it burst! Oye.)

kamikazecat, I am so glad you are enjoying VWL. And FF on the Fourth of July! How cool is that??

Grab yourself a Moosie Siggy! I'll bet he would look really good on you!

ahhh....now you will never get the voice in your head to stop....."must add on VWl....must add on VWL....". I hear it all the time !

Thanks Nicole...it truly is a miracle. Also glad your son is doing better. I had such trouble with my ears as a child. The pain was unbearable. Finally at age 9, had my tonsils and adenoids removed and I think I have had maybe 2-3 ear infections since I was 9 !
