I did forget to say that as we are early risers there are many times we do not see the fireworks. Hey, it's a give and take.

We're crazy, rope drop and fireworks. I get to sleep in on vacation

 

[Figgy1]

Experimented with full-blown caffeinated coffee to see what difference it would make in my blood pressure. Not good! Hoping I won't have to give up Starbucks! Not very happy about this.

Sympathy like, a warm hug and a cup of Starbucks decaf

Not too bad last night, but have been getting 40+ wind gusts all day! I hope they start dying down so I can get a round bale out for the horses!

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! Be safe out there!

We couldn't even make it back to a park for fireworks one night last year after spending 6 hours at Blizzard Beach. Kids were just beat. Think that night my DH and I golf carted to the togo place and brought back a pizza. So to make it to rope drop and stay up for fireworks, very impressive.

My daughter made this over the weekend with buttons. View attachment 192779

I know I could never give up coffee--nectar of the gods!!

Well mum is home and now its just the long healing road.

Very happy to hear that your mum is home. Now that she's surrounded by family, she'll recover quicker.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Well what do you think? Does this hold a life with me?

I really love Disney but only have tiny bits of Disney scattered about.

Not a fan of the yellow couch, but I love the castle wall hanging.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Nope, she just proved to you that she's not good enough! Be patient, don't rush into a relationship - it might take a while, but the right one will come around that will want you for who you are. I know it's a bad time, but hang in there. It's happened to most of us (sometimes multiple times until we learn to look for the right person)...

What he said. Sorry to hear about this, I'm sure she wasn't good enough for you.

 

[MinnieM123]

My girlfriend left last night. Turns out "I'm not good enough"

Did she actually say that to you? I can't imagine someone would say that. It's one thing if she left because she thought things weren't working out--that's happened to all of us at one time or another. But if she really did say exactly what you mentioned, that doesn't speak well of her at all. No one deserves to receive a comment like that.

 

[JPPT1974]

Yeah love the castle wall as well!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I want to come too! I'm now starting to look for our June trip. I like Disney's snacks better than a sit down meal, in June...we have a nice breakfast and then, snack throughout the day.

When are you going in June? We will be there towards the end of the month. Are you going with your daughter and the boys or just you and hubs?

 

[JPPT1974]

Sorry about your girlfriend leaving you.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Well mum is home and now its just the long healing road.

I hope the healing goes smoothly. Best wishes to your mum!

Coffee.....️️️ Yum!

@Wrangler-Rick & @ajrwdwgirl

How did you guys survive the straightline storms last night? Was wondering if you even got in ajrwdwgirl. Wasn't a long storm but a nasty one at that.

It is still super windy here. It was a long flight home last night. First we were delayed about 40 minutes for a mechanical issue, then we spent a couple extra hours in the air because of the storm. It was a rough landing. The pilot said we flew an extra 1000 miles waiting to be diverted back to Minneapolis. It was tough today at school because we landed at 12:45 am and got home at 2am. Finally got to sleep at 2:30am and got up at 6:30. I think it will be an early night.

Oy. I was thinking of you and wondered if you were going to be held in Florida. My DD co-worker didn't come to work today. Her flight was cancelled out Cali to Ohare.

I was just outside. The wind is strong enough to start to push me off my feet. Kinda April May weather we are having.
