Schoolmarm | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 07:22 pm     How about Ducky, Little Ducky, Bookie in the top pic and Ducky, Little Ducky and Nightcrawler in the bottom? Do I get a cookie if I'm right? |
Egbok | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Great TVCH Hiney shots!! |
Bookworm | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 08:19 pm     <Tosses Marm a cookie> That's right! But Marm has an unfair advantage, since she has met me before. |
Tess | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 10:40 pm     Hmmmmm, someone called me tonight from the Ducky household but didn't leave a message. (gotta love caller id). We were at the ER because DH has been quite sick. I was thinking this meant that LD was still sick and they didn't make the trip after all but at least now I know they got as far as Iowa. Yay!! I've talked to Ducky on the phone twice now and she is so sweet. Sarah is so excited to swim with LD at the hotel tomorrow. Great photos Bookie! We'll be by to see you in August on our way back from our trip out west. |

Tess | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 08:04 pm     Miss Sarah and I are home from visiting with Ducky and Little Ducky. They graciously invited us over to their hotel so that Sarah could swim with Little Ducky and swim they did for nearly 3 hours! That gave Ducky and I lots of time to chat and get acquainted. Little Ducky is as cute as can be and he was so nice to Sarah. Ducky is probably one of the nicest and most gracious persons I've ever met. She told me all about her wonderful visit with Bookie and NC. I got to see one of her family photo albums. BigDucky, you devil! You are too adorable! There were lots of pictures of you. oh! Ducky showed me pictures of the gazebo you built for her birthday. It's beautiful! Ducky and LD had quite a busy day at the Mall of America and Miss Sarah was up til nearly midnight last night so we dragged them out of the pool to take some photos. Both kids got turns at the camera and Ducky even was able to get photos of all 4 of us together with her fancy timer camera. No behind shots for this crew. We had a very silly 6 year old and an equally silly 7 year old doing the honors. Getting a front shot of them without one or the other of them making a monster face was quite a trick. I think I know 2 children who will sleep very well tonight. Btw--Ducky sure knows her TVCH history! I had a fantastic time visiting with her. If any of you have the opportunity to meet the Ducky family you'll have a great time. They are very good people. |
Egbok | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 08:59 pm     Tess, that was a very nice report on your visit with Ducky and LD. I am so glad that you and Sarah had this neat opportunity! |
Bookworm | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 10:12 pm     Yay! I am so glad your meeting went so well, Tess and Ducky. I knew it would. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, March 21, 2003 - 09:50 am     Yay Tess!!! Yay Ducky!!! |
Halfunit | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 03:37 pm     GREETINGS FROM LONDON!! Who would have thought they have internet machines in the Tube stations?? They must have known I was coming!! Will report in when I get home! 1/2 |
Fanny | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 03:42 pm     Yay! They arrived safely, sounds like! |
Scootersmom | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 03:44 pm     Woo Hoo Halfunit and Unit! Have loads of fun! |
Tess | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:46 pm     <waving madly at Half!!> |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Go, Half, GO!! Have a blast in London...and at least you are smart enough to take the tube instead of a taxi. My ex wouldn't take the tube and we blew our last $50 on a Taxi to his law office. That was the LAST trip we ever took. (Take the tube, save a marriage! LOL!) I am very happy that I have NOT gone anywhere today but the local mall. Gotta let those tires cool down for a day! |
Squaredsc | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 04:54 pm     oh good 1/2 and unit arrived safely. |
Pamy | Saturday, March 22, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Half..Have a great time!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you return. Stay safe ! |
Egbok | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 05:32 am     I hope Half gets to see her Queen because I didn't get to see mine! Half, I hope you are having the time of your life and I want a full report when you cross the pond and return stateside. |
Ducky | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Little Ducky and I had such a busy week that we are taking the weeekend to unwind from are trip. This was Little Ducky's and mine first trip without Big Ducky and it will be are last because we sure did miss him alot. We spent Saturday morning unpacking the car and the afternoon and evening with family visting. It was such a nice drive to Iowa to see Bookworm that we are planning on making another trip in August to go to Indianola for the National Balloon Championships. I had such a nice visit with Bookworm that if I hadn't had to make it to Minnesota that evening I would have stayed another 2 hours. I was glad to meet Nightcrawler it was a nice surprise when he stoped by before we left. After a day at the Mall of America the next day and riding all the rides at Camp Snoopy we had are next Tv Clubhouse meeting with Tess and Sarah at the hotel. It was the best spring break! Swimming in the hotel swimming pool for Little Ducky and Sarah and Tess and I getting to meet for the first time. It was like taking to a long lost friend. Little Ducky told me later after Tess and Sarah left that it was nice to make a new friend. Tess and Bookworm are both very caring people and made me feel so welcomed. Thank You Both for taking the time to meet Little Ducky and I. You made are trip very special. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, March 24, 2003 - 12:52 pm     Halfunit!!! If you read this in time, be advised they have FREE internet terminals in the international departure lounges at the London airports. Not only that, but they have a camera on there so you can send about a 15 second video of yourself in the airport to your correspondents. I sent one to Tess last year! At the library in central Illinois today. 8 days and a lonnnngggg Amtrak trip from home. |
