We having gusty winds too but not that strong.

No steak after he stole my glass of orange juice!! (Not to mention, he was SLEEPING just a few moments before I briefly went to the pantry.)

Ninja attack!

We are in Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park now and yesterday we saw the General Grant tree which is the 3rd largest tree by volume and 1500 years old. Today for hubs birthday we will see the General sherman which is the largest tree.

What is this....

 

[Cesar R M]

So true. The enormity if their size can only be appreciated if you are there.

I'd probably have a shock..
I was expecting big when I went to see the SATURN V rocket in Johnson's Houston Space Center.
I was floored once I finally managed to see the beast and its monstrous engines.

Can't imagine my reaction to see a forest full of monstrously tall trees.

What is this....

Probably trying to find a ways to dethrone the other idiocy filled products... like the Mountain Dew flavor combinations with Doritos. And Dorito taco bell.

I think that is probably true.
Personally, I think I'll take a pass on that new KFC product.

Finally had T’s baseball game against his school.. last night, we won.

Another round tonight.
Semi finals Saturday if win.
Finals on Sunday.

Problem? RAIN.
They can’t reschedule beyond this week, everyone please send warm dry thoughts our way!

Meanwhile, I’ve been glued to my phone all day, waiting for a press conference from the DR. They are supposed to share toxicology reports. Nothing yet beside a “we’ll get back to you”.

I don’t know if the media is hyping this up, or if it’s a real concern. I just want to know!!! If it’s something reasonable then I would call and try to get this thing back on the schedule.

Quick vent/rant:

Last week and this one has been somewhat emotionally stressful. Since I have been no contact with the immediate family, found out through Facebook that one of my Aunts was rushed to the hospital due to a carotid artery and my late dad's dog died (with my sister posting a picture of the dead dog in front of a freshly dug grave...yeah, respectful right?. I mean, seriously. Why would you post a picture of that??). Anyways, I have lost many family members and know the grief, but it really has scared my other cousin (her niece) into asking around of what she should do to hang on to the family we got left, even asking me.

First off: I am no contact with my own blood relatives and have lost others. I am not sure I am the one to ask that question, and I handle grief differently I've realized. But all of this has stressed me a bit on top of other family members acting out.

So, yeah. There's my vent and I have recently taken out my frustrations on a random new blogger here.

But good news, DH and I are going to see Toy Story 4 tomorrow and I get to go back to Disney for the week of my birthday on top of a staycation.

Gawd I need a staycation...

I am guessing he is never really sleeping when he heard movement in the kitchen.

He is such a sly little devil.

Does anyone know anything about the forum disappearance of @Freshee61 ?
Last "seen" on wdwmagic May 31st.

No, haven't noticed any posts recently from that member.

We used our tax return every year to go to Disney for at least 2 weeks sometimes a second trip if we had AP and were gifted a code. We viewed it as family bonding time.

Now I have adult children with all with good paying jobs. We all split it. So it gets easier to travel with Adult kids brings it down to very affordable especially if you don’t pay Rack Rates.

If you can split the bill it's less painfull but for a family with young children it seems almost unaffordable to enjoy quality time in WDW these days.

From all the various reports over the past 2 weeks about the DR, it doesn't seem like "hype" to me. Sounds like something is definitely going on down there -- the question is, what exactly is it . . . (And I also don't think the FBI would get involved in this investigation at all, unless there was a good reason.)

I agree. I just don’t know why their tourism department keeps saying that it’s safe and deaths are unrelated to one another. Obviously I know why they want to say that, but if proven wrong they’ll look worse than owning it.

A vacation is not worth risking my life, or even being on edge the entire time. I was just hopeful after the press conference was announced, thought of the possibility of receiving positive news today.. proof that it’s really medical conditions or something, and then we would be able to go.
I just need to get over it, I know.
