HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

[Inkmahm]

Me, again. We had a wonderful dinner at Artist Point tonight. We almost always get the same thing. Dynaguy gets the mushroom soup, we both get the salmon, and we share a fruit cobbler. Tonight everything tasted particularly good.

I've been looking at sweatshirts here all week comparing them to the red one I saw at the lodge back in December. Haven't seen one that I like better so we stopped in to buy my sweatshirt on the way to dinner. Yay! It was really cool when we left the lodge so I was wearing that sweatshirt when we got back to AKV-Jambo.

As we left Artist Point, Dynaguy got a phone call from his mom. His grandma had just died. At age 98, it was expected so Dynaguy is doing very well. Not sure he will be able to make it back to PA for the funeral though as his dad thought it would probably be on Wednesday and we don't even get home from Florida until late Tuesday night.

At least we saw his grandma in person in September. Another trip that being unemployed allowed us to take- a driving trip to PA to see family. When we fly, there never is time to see everyone. His grandma was several hours away from his parents so I'm glad we took the time to drive to see her. This picture is from that trip.

No words, just . Glad Dynaguy is doing well but seeing that sweet face on his grandma made me miss mine [who passed away in 2001].

Also glad you're having a great time. I went to AP for the first time in November and it's my new favorite restaurant...yummm!!!

Prayers and for you both at this time. Even though it was expected, it's never easy. So very glad with you that you got to see her in September.


I learned yesterday of a 94 year old great-aunt of mine who died. My mother phoned to let me know. Hadn't ever met her in person, but corresponded through the years. She was my mother's aunt, in Norway. She was one of the last of her generation still living (my grandparents each had five siblings) and she was one of the only relatives who spoke both Norwegian and English. Death calls from Norway through the years have always been pretty interesting. My mother said this one was a little better than most as it wasn't quite so blunt and matter of fact. Her cousin used softer language, and gave a few more details. I still recall the one about 20 years ago when her husband died - it was a message left on the answering machine stating "Thor are dead." and the caller hung up.

Death. Never fun, but sometimes the way things go afterwards can provide a chuckle.

This Television series actually got it's start on radio making its broadcast debut on radio station WXYZ in Detroit, today January 30th, 1933.

It's signature line at closing was "Hi-yo Silver. Away"!!

What was the series called?
Who was the lead characters name?
What was the TV actors name?
Who was the lead characters trusty side kicks names (he actually had 2, one he rode)?
What law enforcement agency was he affliated with?

Clayton Moore was the Lone Ranger. Jay Silverheels was Tonto.

I believe he was part of the Texas Rangers organization.

Who you callin' Kemosabe?

 

[Granny]

Johnny Depp will soon be Tonto....

Oh this is wrong on so many levels. I guess Tonto will be into the peyote in this movie.

 

[npcougar]

Our contract went to ROFR today. Not too worried about that part. I just hope it goes through quickly.

Condolences to DynaGuy and Inkmahm...praying for peace for all of you now. That picture is so sweet, it reminds me of my grandma who we lost in 01. Grandmas are such special people, I believe God has a special place in Heaven for them.

 

[jimmytammy]

Granny, condolences to you as well. Though you never met your aunt, its still hard losing family. We know they are there, and thats what counts.

Hey..Inkmahm and anyone else that has done Alaska, what excursion advice do you have? I'm leaning to the adult only ones since it will just be me and my boys-both in their 20's. Any help appreciated!

Hello Groupies,

Dynaguy and Inkmahm, you have my sympathies.

Granny, my sympathies to you as well.

We had a beautiful day here in WI, spring like temperatures and the snow (what little we did have) melted. Have to remind myself that we could still have some nasty weather, but hoping that the winter continues to be mild.

DH and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year and couldn't decide where to travel. We had toyed with the idea of Mexico, but neither of us has passports and we thought we could go somewhere domestic for less money. DH is not a WDW fan (can't believe I married him knowing that LOL!) and I didn't really want to trade into RCI since it's not the best use of points and I've heard such mixed reports on the resorts. So we decided to try out Vero Beach instead. We haven't been before. We booked a studio for the first week of August. I think I'm going to waitlist a Ocean View Inn room though. 2 of the nights we wanted weren't available for the Inn room. Any groupie advice for VB? We plan on doing a mix of sightseeing in the area and driving up and down the coast, relaxing and DH wants to do some fishing. No WDW at all. Was hoping I could convince him to do Epcot on the day we arrive before driving to VB the next day, but I don't think that will work.
