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

[pgfour]

Tonya -- ditto on the video! Maybe they want to audition for American Idol or America's Got Talent (or whatever those shows are called).

I was looking at some things on a travel site: perhaps a 106 day cruise on the Queen Victoria's maiden voyage is in order! It sails in January 2008. . .prices start at $23,900/person!!!! Maybe Disney needs to consider that itinerary!

Talk to you later!

That's a heck of a lot of insurance that Bill W needs to sell ...

Hi guys I just came home from pulling a Lynn. And I am quite proud of my present for my mom, I had the mat signed while on this cruise and the pic is from our previous one, but it was the only one with my sister in it and we all know how pretty princess little sisters can be...

 

[woogal]

OMG is that too cute, Wendy!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Wendy,
great gift!!

I just finished viewing your pictures, they were very good, I enjoyed them.

Well I finished my baking for today. Thank heaven for dishwashers!!! So much easier to clean up than th eold days when i didnt have one.

Minnie sampled everything and gave her approval. So I guess they came out ok.

Time to fix some sandwiches for dinner, I'm pooped!!

Have a good evening all,
kathy

Wendy,

That is an awesome frame! Perhaps we'll try that next time. . .

The pillowcase turned out fine, but DD wanted to write other names on there!

Potential dumb question (but I have some blonde highlights, so it's ok!): who is Suzy?? Why can't I place that character???

Going to make some grub for the daughter and me -- Bill is on his way to the insurance capital of the world -- Bloomington, IL. (Home to State Farm and COUNTRY Insurance) He gets to learn about crop insurance!

Have a good night!

Cheri

P.S. He'll have to sell non-stop for us to go on the 106 day cruise! Wonder what the unlimited internet package costs on that cruise??

if I'm not mistaken Suzy is one of the mice from Cinderella. And wow I'm jealous of Bill's trip. Crop insurance.

By the way all, I have finally posted another piece of my trip report - updated through St. Thomas day. Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am putting it together. I didn't do pics on my first trip report in August> it sure adds to it. Have a good night all

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Yes, I think Suzy was a mouse in Cinderella too.
If not I'm sure someone will correct us soon.


Jeff ,
i will have to check out the latest addition to your report. I have really enjoyed it so far.

well it is getting late and I am tired after baking most of the day. So I am going to make Greg's lunch and then off to bed for me. I hate this darn cold, it makes you feel tired all the time.

I will check back tomarrow to see whats happening around here,

Wendy, that looks great! We had a mat signed as well and I am going to take one of our formal pictures, or our picture with Capt. Thord and reduce it to fit into the mat!

Hello All Nana Heads!!!!!

I'M BACK!!!!!!![/SIZE]

I've been sick since Monday, 12/4. Finally went to urgent care on 12/10 and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Doesn't help that I have a weird chronic lung condition in the mix either. I stayed home on Monday. I've been working since Tuesday. In law firms, the work MUST get done! Right, Tonya? I'm still taking antibiotics, inhalers and prescription cough suppressant - these pretty yellow gel type pills.

So far, I've unpacked and did laundry. I haven't looked at the pictures I took. Haven't been on the Boards much, either. Although, Jeff and Kathy, I love your trip reports. Has anyone read the trip report by Father Force? He and his family were on the Wonder in October. It's a funny one.

Jeff: sorry to miss your adult-only party this weekend. Move the party to the 30th???!!! We'll be heading through Pittsburgh that weekend on our way to Morgantown. We're going to Oglebay Park that weekend to see the light display.

Linda: has your map found its way home to you yet? I would hope that a cruiser would not keep it if it weren't theirs.

Okie: Glad you and your family became DVC members. You'll have fun planning all your upcoming vacations.

Denise: How is your dad doing?

Since Dave works at Ford Motor, I found the perfect book for him tonight at the bookstore tonight: The Night Henry Ford Met Santa. Geez, I got to thinking. What if Santa really did meet Henry Ford Jr. and said that Dave is a great employee, loyal, hardworking, etc. and maybe Ford Jr. would give Dave some extra vacation time for more cruises!!! Only in my dreams! But dreams do come true, don't they???!!!

I have the most incredible story to tell all of you of a "Christmas Angel". Her actions are truly what the meaning of Christmas is all about. Most of you have heard me talk about our precious 10 year old goddaughter, Alyssa who has Down Syndrome, and her mom, my best friend, Sue. They have had a lot of emotional and financial hardships over the past 18 months as Sue has been going through a divorce, ex gave her no money for 18 months, no job, etc. Anyway, the Friday we were all at Castaway Cay enjoying a beautiful day in the ocean, this Angel came to our house and asked a neighbor if she could leave some things for Sue and Alyssa with him until we came back from vacation. She left toys, DVDs, stuffed animal, gift card from Target, new dining room table and chairs (Sue is using our card table and chairs right now) and a new chest of drawers (she's using laundry baskets as their dresser drawers). My neighbor asked her name but she wouldn't tell him as she didn't want me to know that she bought this stuff for Sue and Lyssa. We were overwhelmed and overjoyed over this Angel's generosity and compassion. Everytime I think of it, it brings tears to my eyes.

My Christmas shopping and wrapping has been done since before 11/25. Thankfully. If I still had more shopping to do, I would have lost almost 10 days post-cruise due to the crud that I have. We are celebrating Christmas with our Michigan kids and grandkids on 12/23. We are staying at a hotel in a Detroit suburb that has an indoor waterpark. I can't imagine how much fun our little ones will have. Another reason why I need to get a video camera. We head to Morgantown on 11/30 for three wonderful days with our 2 WV grandkids.

An update on Dave's wallet which he lost on the ship -- it has not shown up nor has anyone tried using the credit card.

Unfortunately, we won't be on the reunion cruise. We will miss all of you next year and wishing we were on your cruise. We are booked on the 10/21/07 DVC member cruise. We're meeting up with our tablemates from our 9/04 Magic cruise. After the cruise, we're staying at OKW for a couple of days. Perhaps we'll join you on the 2008 cruise.

Sorry for the long-winded message. Just making up for lost time!!!!

Jan

GLAD to read your nice chatty post, Jan! They're the very best kind of way to keep in touch with what's really happening. Your angel story is GREAT! I love to hear about that kind of thing - I LOVE to participate in that kind of thing. I could kick 'the dad' from here to Minneapolis and back though - what is it with men who think the only responsibility of fatherhood is to download the Y chromasome??

No map yet - Today, I write a letter to customer service. I've always believed in the human goodness too, but I can see where returning it might not happen. Map gets delivered, occupant glances at it and says oh, how nice, and tosses it in with their other souveniers when they pack. They go home and get involved in laundry and preparing for Christmas and pretty soon several months have gone by. They may or may not ever look at those souvenirs again.

Suzy and Perla are the mice from Cinderella.
Got my box of photos from snapfish yesterday. Now I can get them stuck in a photograph album and start to prepare my scrapbook. I'd rather do that than get ready for Christmas, if the truth were known, but I guess I'd better throw some stuff at the tree.

What was the name of that store where someone went and posted photo afterward of the 'magic' ornament? I was going to buy one, and didn't.

Happy Day All!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning everyone,
Jan love the Christmas Angle story. That is awesome!!

Not much going on around here, going to buy a couple of groceries today so I can finish my holiday baking by tomarrow. I need cream and pinto beans to finish up.

Jan I hope you get to feeling better FAST!!!


Bob,
i hope you post a picture of your matt too when it's finished. I'd love to see it.
Have a great day everyone,

Kathy

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Lynn,

Glad to hear you both survived the shot!! I think shots are harder on the moms than the kids a lot of the time.

Time to do the dishes, have a good night everyone,
Kathy
