Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[TiggerKing]

It has been a BEAUTIFUL week down here in Georgia. We have had highs in the 70s and lows in the high 50s. Supposed to get a little rain overnight, but probably not even enough to knock the pollen down some.

Getting ready to head back to Portland this week. Then, next Friday, I will fly from Portland to Orange County and spend the weekend with my brother and his family. I haven't been to their house since 1994. They have made several trips out here, but my schedule just did not allow DW and I to make it out there. Unfortunately, she doesn't get to do this trip, she has to stay home and take care of puppies.

Well, don't know why I wrote all that , probably more than you folks wanted to know about my life. Have a great weekend all!

Lynn...it sure it exciting getting ready for a new little one. It is amazing just how much stuff one little one needs.

TiggerKing...have a nice visit with your brother.

Everyone else...hope you can all get out and enjoy some lovely weather today. Low to mid 70s up here in PA. I think Spring has sprung.

And don't forget to turn your clocks ahead tomorrow!

Hi folks....the weathers not quite as nice in ohio, but I didn't have to shovel snow today and thats a sure sign of spring around here. Summer's right around the corner--woohoo.

Hi everyone,
I figured I may as well send a weather report like the rest of you guys.
Sunny, clear blue skies, slight breeze and 84 degrees on my thermometer!
I wish the pool was done curing so we could jump in. At least the deck is dry so we can put out the patio furniture and sit out on the evenings and enjoy. Maybe if I try hard enough I will imagine we are on the Magic by the pool relaxing in the lounge chairs. I can set out some of my stuffed disney characters around the patio to set the mood. Play some tunes that we hear on the ship too. I have the plastic cruise line glasses you can get tropical drinks in the first day, i can fill them with beverages and we are all set.
Now if I could just find someone to wait on me hand and foot it would be perfect.
Tomarrow is April, another month gone and we are that much closer to the cruise.

We have a celebration in our new town starting tonight. I hope tomarrow to join in the festivities. They are having a 5k run a fun walk, a hometown parade, a classic car show and lots of arts and craft booths. I think it should be fun and a chance to get to know my new town a little better. But first I have to figure out exactly where it is going to be and where there is parking. I guess there will be lots of live music and dancing for the whole family too. It sounded like a nice break from cleaning around here.
I hope everyone has a great weekend too.

Good Morning all:

The weather here is suppose to stay in the middle 70's. Yippee, since my second job is good weather related, that means more money for cruising.

Bring on Summer, and then bring on Fall, I'm ready to be on the boat TODAY.

Have a great weekend all.

TiggerKing,
Thanks for the info we just booked One Mountain Draem with them and loved all the cabins it was hard to pick one. They sure did have a better selection than the other places we looked at. So if you and DW wanna drop in I can grill you a burger on my wrap around porch
Wendy
Oh I FORGOT THE HOUSE IS FINALLY FINISHED

now to work in the garden, Kathy when you are done with your new house maybe you could come help me out please!!!!!!!!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,
Anyone get caught on an April's fools day joke??
My DH tired to convence me that he cancelled our DCL cruises and rebooked with RCCL. I DIDN'T see the humor in that !!!
We just got back from an old fashion community festival. it was a lot of fun. We now live in a small town and everyone has been so friendly I can hardly believe it. It reminds me of how it was when I was growing up. We saw a classic car show from local people, about 25 cars, a great parade with cub scouts, youth groups, local police, firemen, lots of people on horse back and tons of kids groups and the Red Hat society had a float and a senior baton twirling group, all local people. All were tossing candy, and pencils and flowers to the kids along the way. the library had a book sale, lots of local arts and craft too. and of course food booths. Some kids who belonged to a native american dance group performed and were in the parade, they were quite good. When they finished some local band played for awhile in a grassy area where you could dance, then arabian horses perfomed in the dance area, then more music. I would be really careful danicng after those horses got through!! I didnt see any pooper scoopers there!! All and all it was great fun and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Now HD is getting ready to install my cabinets in the utility room and I am being a supervisor.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend too!!!

Wow Kathy it sounds like ya'll had a ton of fun. No jokes here, we are getting ready for a big party tonight LSU plays in the final four and we are having about 20 people come watch the game in our now completed house.
Wendy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Wendy,
Hope you have a great time tonight!!
watch nobody spills on your new carpet!!!
Hope your team wins.
Kathy

 

[TiggerKing]

Wendy, sorry your team didn't win last night. I would have liked to have seen LSU make it. Of course, being an ACC fan, I didn't really want an all SEC final. Then you guys might start thinking you are basketball schools as well as football!

I looked at your cabin last night and that is a pretty one. We have always been pleased when renting from them. Just remember, be careful what you offer. DW and I might just show up on that wrap-around porch hungry and with plates in hand!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just wanted to check in real quick before heading to church.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy Monday morning everyone!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Today I am going grocery shopping early as they have said it will hit 89 today. I guess our summer is already setting in, just no humidity yet. Thank goodness, I hate the humidity.

Tomarrow I hope to get out to a couple of scrapbooking stores and craft stores I saw so I can check out things for door signs. I need to get going on some cruise stuff now that I am moved in pretty good.

Have a grat monday everyone!!
Kathy

Good Morning:

My morning started with the car NOT starting. AGH

I WISH I WAS ON THE CRUISE.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[TiggerKing]

Hey Everybody!

Well, my day started out by flying from Georgia to Portland, Oregon. Man, what a long flight, and then I have to work when I get here! Who's idea was that?

I hope everyone had/is having a great Monday!

 

[Dixielady908]

Well its evening not morning but my day was OK. A typical Monday at work...yuk..I really need to retire. Then I came home cooked dinner and now sitting here at the computer...dont be jealous because I lead such an exciting life.

I have been working on door signs. My son is just finishing his degree for graphic design. So I put him to work yesterday. We are working on signs together. I am soooo happy to see my hard earned college money in action. I have to say, he is very good. Anyhow, after I get them designed, they then to go the rest of the traveling family for proof and then to print....

Glad everyones day was good.

Later
Denise

 

[Michelle2]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't checked in for awhile! You know how it goes....

Denise, I think that is a great idea to use your son for your door signs! My sister is a graphic designer too, and that never dawned on me to use her. I am a dummy when it comes to computer stuff like that. Last time I just used a predesigned generic one off of the Dis design board, and they worked fine, but I would love to have something more personalized!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,

Tonya, i hope your car started ok this morning for you. We all know how rotton car problems can be. There is no good time to have them.

Tiggerking,
I sympathize with your long flight!!! Our families are in Portland, Milwaukie and Salem Oregon, so we have made the trip many times. Now we pay for others to come out and see us. I figure the kids and grandkids can sit all that way better than I can. But still need to go back to see my mother sometimes as flying is too hard on her anymore. Even though it takes 5 days I often take Amtrak from Florida to Oregon, at least I am comfortable and can enjoy the scenery.


Denise and Michelle,
you guys are so lucky to have graphic designers to help you with ideas for your door signs. Of course you realize the rest of us are going to be sure and check out your signs, so you'd better do an A+ job!!!
Your on the spot now!!!

Well we are one day closer to our cruise,

Have a great day everyine,
Kathy

 

[DenverVal]

We decided to transfer our ressie for this cruise to the August repositioning cruise, so we won't be sailing with you. I look forward to meeting you on a future cruise, though! One of these days I will get to the eastern Caribbean, but for now...Europe!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Denverval,
sorry to hear your leaving us, but i am very happy you still get to do a great cruise!!!
Have a magical cruise!!!!
Kathy

 

[Dixielady908]

DenverVal:

Have a great Euro cruise. Sorry to hear that you are leaving ours..

Kathy:
I will try and do a A+ job, however, they are my "designs" he is just taking them and tweaking them...so they may not be overly fancy but at least they will be my creation... Then again I guess I should let him be artistic and let him design them...hmmm tough decision.

Denise

 

[DenverVal]

Thank you for the good wishes! We are really excited about this!
