WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt3

[EllaEnchanted]

Happy Summer Sunday everyone.....I'm wayyyyyyyy behind in my reading and will catch up in a minute. Just wanted to say hi to all of you and let you know that things are moving forward again.........yeah!!!.....and couldn't have happened without the help of all of you. So many thanks.

Gonna go catch up, but wanted to say that I was exploring the Epcot Food and Wine Festival that's going to be going on while me and John are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary.....what better way for us to celebrate since our first date was at a wine tasting. There are so many activities going on. We just want to have an international dinner paired with wines......and maybe some champagne......after all I am the co-originator of the champagne girls.......I must have champagne too.

Kathe, I know you did a Greek dinner last year. What was the name of the event that you did. That's what John and I want to do. From the websites I found, it looks like it might be called Regional Feasts. Is that correct? Anyway, it's fun having a mouse vacation to plan for again.....even if it's only a mini one.

Going to catch up now.....I don't like being behind......I want to know what's going on with all of you everyday......last I read, Jackie had just gotten her new car after her auto accident, Cheri was still waiting to get hers.....!

Below in blue is an email I just got from Kaylee. I just read this myself, so I have nothing more to input. I know the power of prayer works, so we have a heavy task at hand for our dear friend.

So, I(Kaylee) am writing to you from my bed after spending the entire day in ER yesterday.....not the greatest email, I know but I need all good energy I can get. So I lost my eyesight in my L eye on Sat am (was kind of going away on F, but I ignored it). We went to an eye doc yesterday and the look on his face said it all, so we went straight to an ER where my friend had already spoken to the opthamologist on call. Well, after 7 hours there I let after a 1gm IV of prednisone and the diagnosis of MS. I haven't accepted that diagnosis yet and I have lots of docs appts starting at 7am on Monday. So far my vision is no better and it is the worst feeling in the world. Thankfully my mom is being great....which is helpful to Scott since he is having a hard time with this all...... I won't be getting on the boards anytime soon....but if you want to post something Nan asking for pixie dust and prayers that would be ok with me.....that list is great for helping people get better.

I'll be in touch with her and will keep you all posted on whatever the news is.

Nan

I was scrolling up the page after I posted and saw this. I'm literally sitting here in tears......not Kaylee.....not MS......and loss of eyesight in one eye......oh no.....this is way too serious.......not Kaylee......she's so healthy and so young. What a hard fight she is going to have now......this is life changing.

Nan, tell her me and John are sending her an infinite amount of prayers and positive thoughts and good energy so that she will overcome this illness. Hugs and pixie dust to Scott and the girls too.

OMG......this is so sad!

Thanks Deb.

I've allready sent the first batch of well wishes and she replied with great thanks. So I know that she is really going to want to read these from all of you and I will make sure they get to her.

I'm fighting back my tears too, but I know that they are all part of our process in how we fight and deal with adversity. We cry, then we pull up our big girl panties and fight the good fight. And you know that will be Kaylee at her best.

I'm off for the rest of the day, getting the kids over to camp and then having a celebration dinner to tell my mom about the sale of her house It's good news that it is still working thru the escrow, hopefully closing on 8/8/08.

Kaylee will be the strongest fighter there is! Nan, that's exactly how we deal with adversity.....we cry and get stronger.

Enjoy your day Nan......what great news about the house sale.....have a good time celebrating with your mom.

Nan, Please tell Kaylee and Scott that I too am sending hugs and prayers and pixie dust I never seem to have the perfect words to say, but I am thinking of them. It was a joy to meet them both on the OA in PV . It's hard to believe Kaylee is dealing with such a frightening condition, but I have seen her strength of spirit Please keep us updated as much as you can.

Hi Deb! I haven't seen you post for a long time, hope all is well, nice to "see" you again

Yes, the Greek dinner last year was a Regional Feast. The year before that I attended a Peru dinner, which was better than last year but both were definately worth the experience , I thought. I am wondering what will be offered this year during my stay too, although since Sara and Trevor will be with me we'll probably just do a pairing or 2 as they're a little less expensive. In case you haven't already researched for this year yet, the "dis" rumour is that the details on this year's events will not be out until Aug 22 for booking starting on Aug 25!!! Really late this year and not much time to decide! Hope there's something great for your anniversary

DH read this on the cruise (for the second time!)



The first week of June is great (so of course, that cruise sold out instantly) everyone who took the later cruises said it was like being on the sun in most places. In Villefranche the tour director told us that we were lucky to be there the 1st week of June because in a few weeks it would HOT!!!

I rarely read a book twice, I don't like to watch movies twice either. However, since the last couple of books I read had a couple months in between the reading of the first half and the second half, I will probably read both again This book is quite long, so I am determined to finish it quickly this time!

Kelly, I don't mind the heat as long as I'm not stuck in it all day without someplace to take a break to cool off.

I'd go!!! I think they would do the Med again... it was popular and they said they didn't even really advertise to the European market...



I think we should pick a time when all the kids would be out so there wouldn't be any conflicts with that...



Hi Kathe!!!

Running around today... my friend called at midnight and told me I could have her cabin today if I wanted (she was supposed to stay until tomorrow but changed her plans...) So I'm trying to pack for the lake...

Yipee, surprise vacations are the best!!! Enjoy your cabin by the lake

Dear Kaylee,
You will be in my prayers. This is so shocking! I support you in doing a lot of checking around and getting other opinions; there is a lot of good care available and I'm sure you will leave no stone unturned in your search for more information. I wish I could think of something "perfect" to say now, but words are failing me so I'll close for now wishing you strength, patience, comfort and healing.
Love, Cheri

How terrible. I will say a Mi Sheberach and wish for Kaylee a renewal of body and a renewal of spirit, and to take comfort for those around her.

PS - added later. The You Tube is very close to the way this prayer is done in my synagogue, and at least for me is very moving and focuses positive energy.

PPS - I hope this wasn't inappropriate.

Have a good afternoon Holly. I guess any 5 year old boy can be grumpy but it seems like he is getting better all the time. I can be grumpy too!!!!

Exactly! I'm grumpy myself this afternoon because I'm just tired. Our time at the fair yesterday wore me out and I'm just ready to sit and relax. But now the rush to keep Tyler moving towards getting ready for bed. I'm going to let him stay up until 8 tonight and see how he is tomorrow.

 

[HollyTyler]

After church we realized we were near The Museum of Transportation and since we have 6 hours before the baseball game (time changed as it is to be televised) we decided to stop.

On our way to the door to decide if we wanted to pay to go in (nope) we passed a
PANAMA CANAL MULE !!
An original, General Electric 1914 mule which worked at Pedro Miguel locks. It was donated to this museum in 1964.

We took pictures. I even let Tom take my picture in front of it--holding the cable loop. (Compared to a P.C. Mule, I don't feel like a member of the pod!)

WOW, how cool!

Oh how awful. We've had so many of us on here with family illnesses and worse, but I never imagined one of us would have something go so wrong. This is so sad. With no warning? How very scary for her (and Scott and the girls). I'm almost speechless. I didn't know MS causes loss of eyesight. This is unbelievable. Major daily prayers will be coming from Michigan.

You guys are boring There hasn't been a post in 2 hours I remember the days when I couldn't even go to the bathroom without missing something......or at least Chocolate Guy making fun of me because I was pages behind. What happened to that? I guess V from FL was right, I do need a chat room. I expect to come on here and talk to people, not wait days for a reply. Where is Marilyn? Oh and sorry Marilyn, I forgot to check in yesterday.

Please let us know what is going on. I feel terrible about this. Please tell Kaylee I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm feeling the same way! Every time I walk by the computer, I click refresh to see if there are new posts. None.

 

[HollyTyler]

I think I'm gonna eat the rest of Tyler's bag of cotton candy. He won't notice. I doubt he even remembers he had some left.

 

[gaylean93]

Hey, I'm feeling the same way! Every time I walk by the computer, I click refresh to see if there are new posts. None.

I did the refresh thing for a while but then I gave up....except, that must be a lie because I just did it and you replied I was cooking and decided to check back but thought no one would respond. Maybe this is a lesson. You have to post to get responses.
