    Easter Dinner

    Last minute decision DH and I will be hosting DD and fiance, my mom, my sister, BIL, and nephew. Two are gluten free. I plan to make meatballs. I use oatmeal instead of bread crumbs so they are gluten free. Mom is making twice baked potatoes. Sister is making a vegetable and a relish tray...

    How long was your (family, friends, whoever) engagement

    I was engaged at Christmas of my freshman year of college. Rather than move him, or wait until my graduation, I switched after sophomore year to go to school locally to finish. So, got married after 18 month engagement. DD25's engagement will be just over 1 year. Both of them are out of...

    Play, Stay and Enjoy a Disney Dining Promo Card Through March 2024

    Yeah, our trip is over now too. I was hoping the app would save the number for mobile ordering. But we just had another person bring the bar code up on their phone and load it that way each time. The promo card worked great for us! We had $940 for 6 adults, including 22 and 23 year old men...

    slo’s THURSDAY 2/8 poll - National Girls & Women in Sports Day⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🥎🎾🏐🏉

    DD25 ran track, medaled a couple of times at State, could have run D3 in college but decided it was time for the pain to be done. DD22 played soccer 2nd grade through HS. Didn't consider herself very sporty, but now that she's in parks & rec it will probably be to her benefit that she knows...

    All Creatures Great and Small on PBS

    Yes! It's all so good, but I'm concerned how it will go in future weeks with all the characters going off to other places. The preview for next week didn't show any James. Also I'm currently nervous about something in my life, and last night's show wasn't exactly relaxing and fun lol. I hope...

    Nashville, Gatlinburg and Memphis help….please.

    We liked Old Creek Lodge in Gatlinburg as it was on the edge of town and the Park. So close to things without being right in the busyness. One of the highlights in the Gatlinburg area was a UTV tour. Whichever of you is driving does have to have some confidence in it! DH was great, I would...

    Dementia Craft Activity

    Back in the late 90's I led crafts at the nursing home every week. I just recently threw away the folder of ideas :headache: I will try to think. Right now the only one I can remember was a big one, we painted thin wood shapes (mostly diamonds) that I then arranged in a quilt star pattern...

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 1/17 poll - Cancelled Flight(s) ✈️

    First cancellation happened to us just last Friday at WDW. Major blizzard in the Midwest on Friday but our flight was to land Saturday at 3:00 pm so we weren't sure if it would be a problem. While at FOTLK I got a text that our second leg from Nashville to Omaha was cancelled. At that point I...

    We are back home! It was tricky since we got about 20" of snow while we were gone and we live in the country. Our Saturday flight was cancelled but SW put us on another one that arrived around the same time...had to spend the night in Omaha to let roads get cleared more. Then had to figure...

    Not looking good for today! We’ve never had to deal with heavy storms here. The four of us that arrived early will have this morning to do Epcot but Dd22 will arrive just in time to get soaked.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    New thought: with the extra night added at the front, I changed my Walmart delivery to our arrival night instead of the next day. But we'll likely be moving rooms the next day. Walmart said I could only reschedule once. Is it okay if I leave our order (all shelf-stable) at bell services till...

    *** Official January 2024 Thread ***

    I'll quote myself too! So, the forecast is getting much worse. A couple of hours ago SW put a weather alert on Monday and Tuesday flights from Omaha. That allowed the four of us flying out of OMA to switch our Tuesday 6 am flight to Monday afternoon nonstop!! Shouldn't be much snow yet at...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Ooh, we might need to use the golf cart luggage transfer. We were supposed to check in this Tuesday. Now we're flying out tomorrow in an attempt to beat a snowstorm. I was able to get a room at CBR for tomorrow night. I didn't ask about keeping the same room for our package reservation. I...

    I've had Disney Tourist Blog's articles about Genie+ at MK and HS open for weeks and read them periodically...we've never used G+ either. A year ago we got along without it, but only because at HS we were joining up with a VIP tour. Without that, HS would have been awful. So definitely want...

    Starting to run other scenarios through my head in case of snow, looking at SW's availability Monday/Tuesday and thinking about managing our pets if the pet sitter can't make it out right away. I've seen a lot of storm predictions fizzle into nothing. But doesn't hurt to have some ideas I...

    8 days so starting to be able to see extended forecast. Showing a bit of snow here the day before and day we leave so now I'm nervous. 1-3 inches so maybe not a problem getting to the airport but if the plane has to de-ice we don't have a lot of room for delays. It has time to change...

    Oh yes, I need to remember our Walmart order. The kids are all home this week so it would be a good time to talk about what they want for breakfast/snacks in their room. And I need to go over with DD22 how to do VQ and ILL for our first day as she won't be on a plane yet at 7 am. 12 days.
