I just bolted awake - having booked the room so late, I didn't even think of online check-in. The site is not letting me do it right now. No way I can get an early room text, then! On hold with Guest Services.

Congrats! Just me but a dinner you could walk to and not have to worry about if a drink or 2 with it sounds yummy, not to mention maybe being able to time it for before or after fireworks. Can't go wrong either way:hungry: Have fun and don't forget the pics;)

I've heard Jiko got a new chef in the last year and has gone downhill a bit. I hope it's not true - we ate there a year ago and we were so impressed with it.

OTOH, I do like to take advantage of places near where we booked. I love the idea of just walking to dinner. (But ultimately, especially since it's our anniversary, a wonderful dining experience is more important. I really miss the old Flying Fish with our fave bartender. I still remember two amazing meals with wine pairings years ago!

The Brown Derby menu looks better than I remembered. The last time I ate dinner there was probably 15 or more years ago, but we had a nice time out on the patio last year ordering small plates and a martini flight!

Already did Yachtsman Steakhouse, and having looked at the menu, I think we'd end up ordering the same things as last time, although we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Already did Monsieur Paul, and having looked at the menu - meh - although we thoroughly enjoyed that as well. Open for suggestions for a really nice meal. Jiko may happen if we feel like driving.

Okay, so we need dairy free ice cream made with date sugar. I will work on it.;):)

Yes!!!

What is funny is the "healthy" foods never address two things at once. It's either dairy free or sugar free, rarely both. Sometimes you'll find dairy free with a natural sweetener.

Here they started on a Thursday which makes no sense. And they start before Labor Day because supposedly it gives seniors in High School an extra 2 weeks to prepare for the state graduation exams. So 2 extra weeks is going to make a difference in a thorough proof of education.:rolleyes:They should do what Maryland did and make it a rule that school starts after Labor Day.

If you can fit an entire high school education into those 2 weeks, why even have school for 4 years? That's ridiculous! That just sounds like an excuse to me.

Both kids collided? The other kid did not suffer any injuries? That is odd, unless this 13 year old had an undiagnosed aneurism that burst due to the area of collision. Truly heartbreaking.

Yeah, but that's the thing...I don't know how they collided. Did they hit heads? Did the one kid's head hit the other kid's shoulder? Knee? I would guess he just had to hit it in exactly the wrong position. In this article, it says "De jongen, die deze middag op goal stond bij MvR, raakte na een duel buiten bewustzijn doordat hij ongelukkig met zijn hoofd terechtkwam. " "The boy, who played goaly for MvR on this afternoon, lost consciousness after a duel when his head was in an unfortunate placement." (Actually, I'm not sure that's a good translation...we don't really have a word for terechtkwam....it literally says his head became unfortunate, but whether that means he hit it, or what, I don't know.)

So that one doesn't mention another player at all. I don't really know what happened, but if it involved another player, I feel bad for that player who will have to live with this the rest of his life. It's totally not his fault, but I bet he feels terrible anyway.

She found the info for me!! She has 4 kids at the school, 3 in older grades 1 in first grade.

I called the number, they told me they didn’t receive the order til today, haven’t started printing yet.. and are honoring the same prices as the group order!! Both shirts will be completed with the other order as well!!

Here’s the best part- I put it in FB, tagged the woman who got me the info.. and I LOVE her response!!!

2 of the women are on our Facebook pages.. I hate to be petty, but just in case they didn’t see it.. I sent an email saying “I was able to order T’s shirts and have them made with the rest. Thanks for all of your help with the contact information! “

Oh that's so great that it all worked out!! Sounds like the one woman from the committee who told you you couldn't order it anymore has a bit of a God complex? Maybe she likes feeling important and in control? "Dance, puppet! Dance!" The elementary school where my kids used to go had a couple women like the one you described in the board. That's mostly why I quit the board. It was quite catty and one of the woman was just a witch with a capital B. She went out of her way to make me look bad in front of the other moms, her kid was one DS's bullies, and his best friend told DS in first grade he was going to kill him. I caught the one boy shouting racist remarks at another kid one day, and the 2 moms often made racist comments when we were planning events, like...not wanting to ask foreigners to make food because they are dirty and you don't know where that food is coming from, etc. I think a lot of times, those women are on a committee like that to try to get a certain special status for their kids. The school doesn't want to upset them because they "do so much for the school", so they can get away with anything. Or at least, that seemed to be issue in our school....maybe yours is different, but that woman obviously thought she was superior.

Me like:joyfull: Although the kitchen could be a bit bigger and we'd need a few more bedrooms;)
Click to expand...

Hahaaa...!
It’s another design that actually kinda’ has 2 kitchens, as there is a prep kitchen/pantry behind the main kitchen. :)
And yes, you’d generally think an almost 6,500 sq. ft. home would have more than 5 bedrooms, but, the Mancave upstairs alone occupies 1,200+ sq. ft., plus a 2-sided mud room, huge utility/craft room, the kiddos game and craft room, her sitting room (Lady Lounge? ;)), big master bath with over-sized his and her walk-in closets with islands...!!! :)

Here’s a coupla’ shots of the finished design...

ETA...
And, bonus! Just as I was getting ready to post this, the partner came out of his meeting with the clients and told me they loved it...!!!!! :joyfull:
We’ll need to cut a little footage, but, not much...!!! :)
