horrible accident happened this week in Bradenton on I75 and it has closed south bound I75 (so if we went to WDW, we'd have a huge couple hour detour). A gas tanker swerved to avoid a disabled pickup. The driver was the only one injured but is burned over 90% of his body.

it was so hot it burned the concrete. This has been a huge mess.

honestly it is so gorgeous. And we take it for granted.
Every year John and I make a posterboard each on our new years goals. And we always put 52 sunsets a year (on the beach) that is ONLY one a week. We haven't done it yet!

You must start this weekend and let us know how you do. Take some pics and really make us jealous.

When our son phoned to ask how the vacation had gone he asked if we would like to move to Florida(or the US as a whole). I said you bet, but we can't, not allowed. He just thought we could all up sticks and move over. Florida would just be full of Brits if that was the case.

Yup, Tyler was given one in the OC too. He told me they gave them to everybody, but maybe he's confused. Yup, that's Senor Frogs. It was empty, so we went in to sit a minute, drink our bottle of water, and take pics.

You call 98 gorgeous, but if it gets 90 and above, I can't go outside for fear of passing out.

I remember you mentioning that around New Years when everybody was talking about resolutions, and was wondering if you'd had any luck this year. Maybe try for one or two a month for the rest of this year?

we can try~!


Johnny just got home, made him a chese/cracker olive pickle tray - Haley is grabbing all the olives!!

He came yesterday. I called him before I left work and told him he might want to postpone because there was an awfully strong line of storms all the way down the state, and they were supposed to keep coming all night because the line continued down through Missouri and it was continually moving northeast. There were tornado warnings in the counties he'd be driving through, storms predicted for my city were supposed to have up to 75mph winds with golf ball size hail. At the time I talked to him, storms had just finished in his city and the radar showed he was in a clear spot before the next batch was due, so he was going to travel in between. But 1/2 hour later he called me to tell me it got bad again because of the hail and it was pouring so hard he couldn't even see his truck in the driveway. But then about an hour later he called to say it stopped again and he was on his way while he had the chance. NO more storms came, so all was good.

Because he got here later than planned, we opted to just hang out here with a rented movie. We actually talked a couple hours before even watching the movie, watched "Good Luck Chuck" and talked & laughed until about 1am. I brought him a blanket and told him he could crash on my couch instead of driving over an hour home at 1am.

It's hard to know how I feel because I haven't seen him in about 13 years. I'm a much different person now than I was back then because I've been through a lot of rough experiences. He's pretty much the same happy-go-lucky guy. I think we'll definitely end up being great friends, but that's all I see right now.....but you never know!

Holly, Doug and I were friends before we married. I had no intention of marrying him, just wanted to be friends. We have now been married 14 years. Being friends first is a good thing.

Wilson's ear is still hurting, but since he knows what it is he deals with it better, such a thinker that boy.

Paul is ok today, once his ear is cleaned and refilled with the anti-funal cream he is good, but that lasts only for a few days, I suspect Monday will start hurting again. He has to figure out how to rid himself of this thing soon.

Is that Molly's christening?

I wish we could make a vaca plan too, well beyond go-kart races that is. But a few years and then we'll have something good.Toyko that's my plan.

Nan, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed sitting across from you guys at dinner the first night at the Hyatt. I could not get over at how polite and well mannered your kids are. Wilson was amazing with his unsolicited please and thank yous to his father. Wish I could say the same for my grandsons.

Well remembered with our GD's name there!! We're not into christenings really - more believer's baptism, but I guess they think differently. Should be a nice occasion though our other son and family won't be there. We do have a major family problem that rears its ugly head quite often. It was a shock to come back from the wonderful vacation and into the reality of this ongoing situation. Some life issues are almost unbearable at times.

Marilyn, have a few of those issues around here too. Must be the age gap thing.

This made the news here. It looked horrible on the TV.

Let's see if I can shoot off a couple more pictures before Tyler comes home in a minute or so.

He loved playing shuffleboard (his own version) any chance he could:

MORE FOOD!!!

Going through the first set of locks on PC crossing day:

 

[Tink rules]

Michelle, Sonic was cool. Dennis and Angie had fruit slushes and I had a lime-aid. The night we went it was five burgers for five bucks, we were all full at the end of it.

Pj

I'll have to try that when I'm in Texas this summer (I'll need it...it should only be 105 in the shade!!!)

Ian

You made me laughing

Congratulations that you both will get marry at Winsdor at UK.

Saw your photos and it was lovely photos, my Ian said that your formal photo are england suit? Because he saw your band and he know as my husband from England well. You both good great with formal.

Wish you both good luck on 16th June.

Scottishwee35

Ha!!! Now we're REALLY in Royal territory!!! I guess I could see if my timesharing at Windsor (castle) is available... I hear in Summer the other Royals go to the OTHER castle!!!

Oh, you'll see about the same amount of me. Even when the screen on my laptop was not working, I had the laptop connected to an old monitor that was given to me. It worked, but it was so faded that I couldn't see or post pictures. So the only difference you'll see is that I'll be able to post more pictures.

And if anything develops with Steve, he doesn't live close enough to be around every day. Only an hour and 15 minutes away, but just far enough to be inconvenient.

Meet half way....

Ian, your description made me feel like I actually watched all of this going on. Cracked me up!

& just who is the writer in the family anyway????

Yeah, this is just too much glamor for one house. Today I have to transfer the documentary to DVD, so I can transfer it to my Mac and edit out the PBS pledge drive.

I could just see us coming back and Mrs Fezziwig is gone, and lying in the parking space is the Mickey antenna topper



quote=Tink rules;25549216] I'm going to give them all the dirt on all the times he propositioned my 76 year old MOTHER!!! Stepfather... my butt!!!![/quote]

How scary would that have been?

Might I remind you of how, when a few days before the cruise our fridge blew out, he charmed the repairman, and a repair that should have been over $800 only came out to about $150.

Now I'm not sure what he was planning on getting from your mother.

I'm sure you're mother had not anticipated going on a cruise and having a "younger man" talk saucy to her.[/QUOTE]

All I can say is if he does become my stepfather... HI DAD!!!!!

Deborah,

We're getting married in Windsor, Canada, not in the UK.

I wish it was going to be the UK! If it we were doing it there, Sukie's daughter had wanted to throw us a wedding party out in Bath.

I just realized ... after we get married, I'm going to be her STEPFATHER!

Also, I'm going to be a STEP-GRANDFATHER with 3 grandchildren!

Don't forget anyone at the holidays.. it will come back to bite you...

We were both a bit surprised. Sukie smiled and was very polite, but told him that he wasn't sure.

It was even funnier since we were deep in a conversation about new seat cushions for the outdoor furniture and whether the selection at Lowes would be better.

How do you make the rapid transition to a question like that!

Sukie... stripes or flowers on these cushions????

Woohoo Gramps!!!

Nevermind...

I agree. All those years ago, we did have a couple times where we broke up and got back together, and we always remained great friends during each splitup.

It sure is strange though, to suddenly be receiving so many phone calls from a guy.

 

[fourmcds]

Boy does that ever look familiar. We must have been standing pretty close to each other. Here is mine, just one from a whole series I took of that sunrise.

both of those shots are great. I was up early most days, but not THAT early!

 

[HollyTyler]

STeve just called me and told me he almost called me this afternoon to ask if he could come back to town to hang out with me again today! But he didn't want to visit while Tyler is here. I told him to relax, hang out with his friends, and wait a few days.....good grief!

 

[HollyTyler]

OK, since we all probably have similar pics from PC crossing day, I"m only going to post a couple.

I was really amazed to see all these giant buildings so soon after being surrounded by jungle. Does anybody know, was this the capital city maybe?:

What a goofball:

 

[fourmcds]

Not as good, but I was pleased with it, and the others I took too!!!!!!!!

forgot to ask....which sunrise was this??? was this in PV?

 

[JLSE50]

I found that a lot of the people wearing Dis lanyards wouldn't bother to speak either. Why be a part of a group if you aren't going to be a part of it?
Carol

There were people who looked at me like I was strange or a stalker when I spoke to them when they had a lanyard and I did too.

We are home, hit the ground running and are doing fine.

Strangest thing is going places and NOT seeing familiar faces.
