My brother and his family went back to Australia yesterday.:cry:
It was difficult saying goodbye as I don't know when I will see them again. It was especially hard on my mom as she thinks this might have been the last time she got to see them. We usually see my brother and his family every 2 years or so and my mom is not in the best of health.:(

I am sorry about your mom. I know Skype is not the same as being in person. Hopefully she is wrong and there will be another happy reunion.

I don't have a firestix but I have a RoKu pretty much the same. It is the size of a memory stick with a remote control for the TV. We take it with us on all hotel vacations. You stick it in the tv and it hooks up to the internet in the hotel/resort. You can then access your own subscriptions like Netflix, Hulu etc. When I bought it the cost was like $40 but gives us access to movies or TV shows we like to watch while drifting off to sleep. So many hotels have very limited stations offered especially Disney where you'll never find competing stations to the Disney Family ownerships like Nick at Nite or anything that competes with ABC Channels. I can also steam in my ATT Uverse if I want which is awesome. So worth the $40. We are a family that has always slept with noise. My kids grew up with TVs in their rooms and always fell asleep with TVs on as they were never kids that fell asleep easily and neither was I. Today we all still fall asleep with the background noise of a TV. If netflix goes to pause in a hotel room or at home we are the type that wake up and turns clicks yes still watching and then drifts back off to sleep. Silence is not golden within my family dynamic. So for those who do not enjoy total quiet while sleeping Firestix or Roku's are awesome while traveling.

Wow another heat wave for us!! 26 wind chill 23. No snow, thank goodness!!! Just bitterly cold, which I really, really hate!!

Beats our windchill. It was in the negatives this morning. Now we're at zero.

I never thought I would be relieved to see temperatures go into the 40s...but that is our forecast for next week and I am suitably relieved.

I looked into the Double Tree and the Best Western and they looked nice but in the end it would be more expensive for the two of us then staying at the All Stars. We would need to rent a car and that negated any savings of staying off property. We don't mind the All Stars it is just a place to sleep and cleanup ourselves. In fact I asked hubby if he wanted to book a preferred room and when I told him the price difference (it was like $224) of a preferred and standard he said no, he said that money could be used for food at good places. We have the motto of "we stay cheap so we can EAT!"

Hahaaa...!
Yep, as I've posted many times before, the resort is just a place for us to crash and clean up.
We've never been for any longer than a week, so it's mostly go, go, GOOOOO...!!!!! :joyfull: ;) :)

At least something new happened. I will have lived here for 7 years this coming April. I have seen 10 inch snow storms that completely disappeared in three days, and otherwise an occasional light snowfall (what they call blizzards around here), but, for the first time since my arrival the small lakes and ponds that are everywhere around here have a thin layer of ice on the top. I wouldn't recommend walking on it unless you enjoy a cold water bath, but, iced over none the less. It did get to an air temperature of 31 today, so most of the paved areas in the sun are clear and dry with a small dusting on the grass. It is supposed to stay below freezing until Monday when the high is listed as 43 degrees. I'll need to break out the shorts.
