Hi Lisa! I can't believe she's leaving already. You're going to be so sad! Is she packed?

She packed today.....a lot of stuff is staying here for now. She can't get it all home. One of her mom's friend is an airline hostess....she does Dulles/Oslo and she will take the rest back though the summer.

1956 California Ranch huh? 3 bed 2 bath....was there anything build then???

Is your minivan blue too???

Ours too. I guess 1958.

Woody

We're 1959 and gray minivan!

Nice meeting you, too! I'm fine, trying to stay cool. Mrs Woody went for tea at the Huntington with some friends. Huntington Tea Room

Woody

Mrs. Woody is such a traveller... tell her we are doing the princess puzzle tonight while watching the Olympic trials.

Did anyone watch the men's Olympic trials?? Man it was exciting.. Women tonight. In 1972 I went to the Olympic trials to see Cathy Rigby - I thought I'd be on the team by the time I was 14 and a sports broadcaster by the time I was 18. Way back then my parents told me that "Women didn't get to be sportscasters" I was so foolish to listen to them!

Now that I think about it that might have been when I stopped listening to them.

Hey Woody and Tracy, I just heard that 500,000 people went to the beach by your house!

 

[HollyTyler]

Hi Holly!!

WOW! I think that's the most enthusiastic hello I've ever received! Thanks!

 

[nskjerven]

Last was Jackson Browne with Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart.

Next are James Taylor. Then Steely Dan. Yeah!

Woody

Love James Taylor, what date is he playing, maybe my boyfriend and I should make a trip down south for a date night???

Yes. From time to time, Sukie gets into what I call his "Mommy Dearest" mood. It usually involves some chore or cleaning around the house.

I find that it is always better to either hide in the basement or leave the house.

hmmm, I can resemble that remark, I hate to admit that, but it's true.

Ours too. I guess 1958.

Woody

Oh, off by just two years.

Woody

hahhahahahahah, what a bunch of California ranchers we are!!!

Hi everyone!!

Hi Nan!!

So Tyler has a fish extender hanging on his bedroom door, ever since we've been home. I told him not to expect to find anything in it every day! BUT.....starting the first time he went back to his dad's, every Saturday when he returns he finds something small in the bottom pocket. One time it was a $1 packet of Spiderman stickers he can color and the package had markers in it, another time it was the Mickey fire department badge from Monica, one item I can't remember, and today I put about 8 rolls of Smarties in there. He asked me if I know where this stuff is coming from and I told him maybe Tinkerbell wants to keep the magic going, or maybe Captain Hook or MIckey. He's decided he's convinced Mickey is bringing him magic every week! And today, he told me maybe we left some Smarties in our room on the ship and Mickey brought them back to us.

My daughter stayed up last night to watch camp rock..and tivo'd it on both tv's..I caught her doing the dance and singing at the end of it. She was pissed when she turned around in the middle of her air guitar to see me standing there smiling. It was hysterical. If only I had my video camera at the time. (it was next to her..no way to get it w/o her stopping). The jonas brothers are coming to the pavillion near us and the tix are $75 each...OMG for a kids group! Thats crazy.

And how much was Madonna

I found you! Summer is a lot busier than other times of the year so not chatting but trying to read some every day. Still wishing I was on the ship again but will have to wait. We are leaving for Mexico in a couple of weeks. School starts Aug 1st here so not much summer left.

Hello. We miss you during the day. Are you going to PV again?

 

[gaylean93]

What are you laughing at?

No, this year we are going to Cabos for 2 weeks.

I don't think we were actually IN Pima. We went to the Pima Air Museum which is probably a little closer to Tucson (at least all the brochures I have in my photoalbum have the address as being Tucson).

We don't talk much about the Grand Canyon and our trip there in this house as it is a sore spot with me. When we went we got the pay station where they had a sign up saying "Some fog. Limited visibility". The Ranger didn't say anything to us about it we just said we were from Canada coming to take a look at the Canyon. We paid our money to get in the park and drove up to the visitor's centre. We got there and the Canyon was fogged in! You couldn't see 3 feet in front of you, let alone the canyon. I will have to scan in the pic of the canyon as we saw it. There was nothing to see!! What a collossal waste of time and money! I was ticked right off the entire time we were there. Would have been nice if the ranger had told us BEFORE we paid there was nothing to see!

Yes we did some power driving on that trip. We drove from Kamloops, BC to WDW and came back along the southern end of the US. We saw lots like Little Bighorn, going through the Black Hills of South Dakota and Deadwood, Mt Rushmore and Mt. Crazy Horse. Went the through the middle of the country going to places like Kansas city, St. Louis to stop and look at the arch, drove across the Mississippi, went to Graceland in Memphis and stopped at the Country Music hall of fame in Nashville. We stopped and looked at the Chattanooga choo choo. We got chased out of a rest area one night near Atlanta so we raced through Georgia and went straight into Florida. Spent some time in Daytona on the beach (loved that place). Went to the Kennedy Space Centre (we had tickets to watch a shuttle launch (but it got delayed to when we weren't going to be there), went to Seaworld. We then spent 6 nights in WDW before heading back. Went over to New Orleansand spent some time walking around the French quarter then on to Texas where we saw the Alamo in San Antonio and did the beautiful River walk there. Then as I mentioned in the earlier post, we went up to Roswell and over Tombstone, Pima Air Museum, through Tucson and up to Las Vegas where we spent a couple of days before heading up through Utah and back into Canada.

We left Kamloops, BC on Sept 5th and were back there on Sept 27th. And as you noted, that was a typo as this was 1997 when we did this trip.

Oh yeah, and while we were in WDW I proposed to Shannon. But that is a whole other story ...

But she said yes and that's all that matters And it was a close one wasn't it?

 

[gydell]

Anybody got a clue where DCL is heading for 2010? Hope it's a long cruise again.

Has anyone heard from DisneyRN about her arm?

 

[HollyTyler]

What are you laughing at?

The list of post counts implying you're a bit chatty!

 

[gaylean93]

OH and btw...it's 93 degrees at 10am! I love the heat, but not like this! We aren't going to our friends pool until 3pm...it's seems like a LONG TIME from now.

I don't know how the desert and arizona people do this!

It's only 106 here so I guess it's better than yesterday!
