Dad is very easy going his favorite two words are Yes and OK.....Mom can be difficult at times......There are days I want to pull my hair out!!

After we got married, I started to do research for several years. I did not want to go too far south and wanted a place that we could afford. I found a gem of a community. Palm Coast is a nice town with a great climate, where the summers are not bad at all and the rest of the year is very pleasant.
This area has not been hit by a hurricane in over 60 years, we are very close to Daytona and St. Augustine and not too far from Orlando.

Sorry if this is a little too long, but I love living in Palm Coast and I originally came to make Mrs. TM happy. Now you could not pry me away from here.

TM

awww....that is so nice TM!!! I hope one day we too can be Palm Coast residents!!

[Moiraine]

Good evening Gang. Glad you found just the right place to retire, TM.

CQ, I hope the power stays on during and after the storm.

My mom is still in the hospital. I just tried to call but she's not answering her phone. Guess she's on the pot or does no t want to talk.

My daughter is going to be leaving on a trip with the other architecture students late next week, so I ordered flowers to be sent to her today so she could enjoy Valentine's early. Problem was she decided to surprise us by showing up for the weekend! They'll be waiting on her when she gets back, I hope.

I'm sure that you would love it here.

For now, I hope that you and your loved ones stay safe during the storm.

Good Morning Kids!!

Happy Saturday!!! Up bright and early....start my new job today!!! I hate training and testing.......I forgot to mention during the interview that I'm theCruiseQueen and need days off to cruise! Oh well we shall see how it works out.....

Still have power and there does not seem to be any winds so far so good. Winds however are picking up later. Jersey Shore once again got slammed...those poor people can't get a break!!

Moiraine she will get the flowers maybe alittle late but better late then never! And that is very nice to send flowers!!

TM....AHHH the thought of never seeing 7 degrees and never seeing snow!!! Tonight 7 degrees here and this snow will be here awhile before it all melts....

Have an awesome day everyone!!

[Moiraine]

Good morning Gang. I woke up around 5:30am and could not go back to sleep.

My daughter's roommate let her know yesterday evening that the flowers arrived and are on her desk waiting for her.

CQ, I hope the first day goes well. Glad the power is still on.

Have a good day all.

[Manuel]

Good morning Gang

CQ, good luck on your new job.

Yes it's great to live here we have flowers and green palm trees instead of snow.
So far my Kids in CT. are OK and they still have power. Of course they will be homebound for some time.

We are hibernating ,however ,my daughter who is temporarily living here went out this morning ,cleaned off out car and moved it to another location so that the driveway can be cleaned .

[green_rd]

Good morning gang,

Good luck to the East Coasters.

Moiraine, well the backfired surprise can always be something to laugh about

[Moiraine]

Yep Bob. The joke was on me. She beat on the door and the crouched down so I could not see her through the peephole. When I opened the door, she jumped up and yelled, "Surprise!" I stood there stunned for a moment. All I could think to say was, "Did you get the flowers?" And she said, "What flowers?" Anyway, her roommate let her know last night that they are currently sitting on her desk awaiting her return.

Moiraine, when you have kids the fun never ends.

I agree ,Manuel

[Moiraine]

Good morning Gang.

Oh, I agree. The fun never ends.

Mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday. She is with my aunt for a few days until my brother can get her stuff moved.

[Haimia]

Good luck, Morraine, with your mom's health and her moving in with you. Thinking of you often; you are such a good daughter (even if you told her you would not care for her when you were a youngster!! ). As for your daughter, she knows you love her especially since she surprised you and you sent flowers to her! Such a good mom and daughter!

Manuel, did you leave a lot at Disney for us? We booked a vacation there for the very near future (our South American cruise has been postponed!! ). I really need a break before surgery.

CQ and LF - take care, stay warm and dry INSIDE your houses and hope the weather and conditions improve quickly for you!

[Moiraine]

Hi Haimia! Welcome to our little thread.

I hope you'll enjoy Disney World. I've never been there, although I've been to Disney Land. When is your next surgery?

[green_rd]

Welcome to Haimia

We went to see the movie Quartet yesterday -very entertaining, two thumbs up

The lines were not bad at all. We did do the fast pass for a few of the shows.

We visited the four parks and did and saw a lot but We are going back next month because the weather is perfect at this time of the year.
We stayed for the fireworks at Epcot and Magic Kingdom and some people neede a light jacket at night.

My DW has been wanting to take me to Disney since we got married. She had been twice before, but I did not think that I would like it. Now that I went I am hooked and can't wait to go back.

[Lakers Fan]

We were supposed to meet friends for lunch today but they had 3 feet of snow and are still homebound .Therefore I am hibernating for a 3rd.day.

[Moiraine]

Good late morning Gang.

Sorry you are still hibernating, LF.

TM, I am happy that you discovered Disney.

CQ, glad that the job is going well so far. Mom is staying with my aunt for a few days until my brother gets the time off work to get her moved this week.

We have sun this morning but it's still chilly. It got up in the upper 60s yesterday. I don't know what it will do today.

[Lakers Fan]

Tomorrow it will be sunny and in the 40's ,yippee

Hey Gang, Happy Tea Tuesday.

We love Epcot. That is always our Disney choice whenever we go. Had looked into Animal Kingdon during our last trip but didn't think it was worth the money on a stand alone one day ticket.
