      My sister's flying in Thurs. to stay with mom, and we're leaving early Friday morning.  Gonna be a LONG drive with hubby and 3 kids! 

      Hubby even said we could stop at one of the "boats" on the way for an hour or so I can feed the hungry slots!  I haven't been near a casino in over 2-1/2 years!!

      First is WDW in Orlando—-I admit, I am NOT looking forward to that, but I can't wait to watch the girls..they're gonna love it.  Then on to Ft. Lauderdale for barbie convention.   Never been to Ft. Lauderdale, so I'm excited about that.  I'm taking plenty of sunscreen, and I'm ready for the beach!!  (Even lost a few more pounds….yippee!! I'm now 17 pounds from my goal weight!)  That makes a total of 120 pounds I've lost since my highest weight, AND kept it off!   Sheeze, that's a whole person!  =) 

      Hoping to get with Allen Carr and his wife Carol while I'm close.  If anybody else is close to Orlando or Ft. Laud., lemme know like TODAY if you wanna try to meet!  ([email protected])

      Ya'll have fun this summer and be safe!

                  OMG, 120 pounds. I wish. Maybe not quiet that much, but close. Was it the chemo diet? That's the ony way I would lose weight.

                  Please don't say "eat healthy and excerise"…. I am so sick of that crap.

                      Hello Lisa

                       

                      Yes I too would like to know your secret to diet.  and I hope you and the grandgirlies are having a great time.  Have you been to WDW yet?  I never have gone.  Went to Fla once when kiddies were young, but could not afford to go, and at that time my father did not want to have any thing to do with it.

                      The very next year, my uncle and aunt dragged him, and he could never say enuff good junk about it.  In fact once my mom visited him, he took her there,  My Bro and his wife on a trip home to North America visited him in FLA and he took them.  BUT alas not me.

                       

                      I mentioned it to my now growed dotter, and she said  HORRORS there are weird things there, like mickey mouse (giant) walking about.  Made me understand that when she was 4 it would have terrified her. hahah  sigh, but I did want to go.  Back then no passports were needed.

                      but hope you had a great time, and met all sorts of our members.

                      Love Bonnie
