Tess | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 06:53 pm     Gracie, the 4th is Bookie's sister, Maggiemae, whom I will have the pleasure of meeting when she's in my area in August! Yay! |
Bookworm | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 06:58 pm     The fourth person is Maggiemae, my sister. So glad Butter and Queenie and Abby had such a great time. |
Egbok | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 08:38 pm     Okay Bookie, here are my guesses on who's in the picture: 1. Marm, You, Maggiemae with Wiggleworm on her shoulders. 2. You, Marm, Maggiemae with Wiggle worm on her shoulders. I'm not guessing that Wiggle would willing sit on Marms' shoulders - being a baby and all. Am I close or even better yet, are one of these scenarios correct?? And to Butter, QZ & Abby: I loved reading your posts about your get togethers. What a fun time for all of you!! |
Tess | Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 11:52 pm     For anyone not in chat tonight, Miss Buttercup made it safely home after driving over 650 miles. |
Bookworm | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 04:55 am     Egbok, Wiggle was very willing to sit on Marm's shoulders. He loved her as much as Maggie and I did. The picture shows Maggiemae, Bookworm, Marm with Wiggle. |
Egbok | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:30 am     Thanks for the update Tess! And Bookie, I can finally get a good nights sleep!! LOL |
Tess | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 12:35 pm     Eg, I should have given you the hint that they had a trick photo. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:20 am     <ha ha ha> I'm trying to type on a German computer and the characters are very different....I am in the librarz at the <orff <institute in Salzburg on lunch break. It is wonderful. There are 110 of us in the class and we are singing, dancing and playing instruments. I'm quite tired, but my dorm has a swimming pool. Holland was wonderful, but cold and rainy. Floriada was really interesting, but it rained the whole day. I'll be here until Sundaz and then to Munich for a week and to <paris.# <have to stop, this keyboard is driving me nuts! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 08:43 am     Yay, Marm! When I saw your post, I was startled, thinking "she is supposed to be in Europe right now." She IS!! Duh. Wow, Marm will be home before we know it. |
Wapland | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 02:02 pm     MARM!!!!!!!!!!are you waltzing yet and more importantly Is he gorgeous? Have safe travels. I miss you in chat. |
Wargod | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Thanks for the update Marm! What an amazing experience for you, glad you are enjoying it so much! |
Buttercup | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 09:58 pm     Yay, Marm! Glad you are having a terrific time! The other half of the Royal twosome is finally getting back into the swing of things after the road trip spending several days with Queen Zed and also met Abby for lunch on the way home. Even though they both have posted, I thought I would add a few things myself First of all, the Queen has her name for a reason—she is an incredible hostess and the food she serves is absolutely outstanding! Her house was as charming as herself, and greydawg….sigh….what can I say, he had me spellbound Oh, I got to meet a labradoodle puppy as well—I’ll take on of those too QZ’s friends were equally charming and generous like herself, and it was obvious that they adored her just as much as we do here Since she already has posted most of our shenanigans, I will add a few additional details. Bet ya’ll didn’t know that Zed can walk on water—or should I say run Okay, it might have had something to do with the fact that she stepped on a rock in the river and an insane long black snake shot out! My butt was still stuck in the tube and I was still leisurely floating on the river when QZ seemingly flew by me screaming SNAKE!!! Never thought I would have wished for webbed fingers, but I did at that moment while I frantically paddled out to the middle of the river after QZ. We are both currently in therapy after the incident. By the way, did I mention that the Royal twosome of course wore royal wide brimmed hats as we floated down the river? Very stylish, I might add However, on a couple of occasions we got separated from our crown replacements. On the first day through one of the rapids, I got through ahead of QZ and was floating waiting for her to come down….next thing I saw was fancy hat flying six feet in the air in one direction, and a tube in the other. QZ was MIA. A few seconds later her pretty little head popped up looking slightly confused at which point she burst into laughter along with TnDude and myself The other occasion a royal hat flew off was when it was my turn to get sucked under by the rapids and my head got slammed against a big rock—the rock cracked! Okay, perhaps not QZ recovered the hat as it later clung to her feet after swirling through the rapids—it knew a royal leg when it found one! Oh boy, this is turning in to a long story—but we had so much fun! I haven’t even commented on the pool game and the flaming balls of fire yet! Ack! Well, that’ll better be a story for another day!

Tess | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 10:06 pm     Oh that is hysterical! And to think when we visited QZ we had a civilized dinner and tea on the deck. Who knew? |
Buttercup | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 10:09 pm     My meeting with Abby was great too, but like she said, it was way too short! Abby is the sweetest thing and cute as a button! We talked and talked, and I really wish I could have stayed longer, but the long road ahead was calling. However, before I left I did get a preview of the sock story and I think it is great that it finally has been posted! If you have missed it, then click here and it will take you there! It's definitely worth reading

Tess | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 02:13 am     Yay, for Abby!!! I knew you would love her, too! |
Schoolmarm | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 04:27 am     Taking another break today. I will go to the Hellbrun Palace today, and then to a Mozart concert tonight. They have given us the afternoon and evening off, as they exhausted us the past three days. We have 6-8 hours of class per day, and it was very hot! Today it rained so it's more comfortable. There is a severe lack of men here...only 9 and over 100 women. Several of the men are married and several are gay, so there is no walzing here! Sounds like Butter had a great adventure... The rest of my itinerary, if any one wants to look up websites. Today through Sunday, The Orff Insititute at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria Sunday through the 19th Research at the Orff Zentrum in Munich. 19th through the 22nd...visiting a friend in Karlsruhe. We will go to the Wagner opera 'Parsifal' and go to Heidleberg castle and have lunch in the Alsance region. 22-25 Paris, I think.... Then to Brussels to fly home. |
Bookworm | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 08:07 pm     Marm!! Hi, glad you are having fun. Too bad you are not waltzing with any available men. Just wanted to say thank you again for a nice visit. |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:07 pm     Well, I'm in Munich right now waiting for the shower to open. Go figure...free internet, but you have to share the shower! This is an awesome city. I will do research today (YAWN) and have dinner at the Augistiner Bierhall tonight. I've been to the Hofbrau Haus before, so I want to do something different. They are having an opera festival and other music, so maybe I'll spend my evenings in different concert halls....have to see if they have cheap tickets left. So, has everyone abandoned this thread for Big Brother? Is the Mole over? I can't believe that I have gone this long without tv. I Don't have time to read the rest of the board...sigh! Hugs to everyone! Marm |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:11 pm     Marm, your trip reports sound like you have had a great time--and covering a heck of a lot of miles!! Mole is still going strong, and BB is quite a large area on the board laredy--with live feeds avaialable this year still. Thanks for the update! |
Spygirl | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:23 pm     Take care Marm!!! |
Tess | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:07 am     Glad you're having a good trip, Marm. See you soon and bring photos! |
Max | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:43 am     Marm, enjoy Munich! It is, indeed a wonderful city. Be sure to have some goulash soup. Wonderful stuff and inexpensive, too! Get one of those nice crusty rolls to go with it and a stein of great German lager. Yum! |
Kady | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 09:55 am     Right now I am taking a break from packing up our camper. We will be leaving tonight headed to Pensacola. I wonder how many new messages will be on here when I get back. |
Merlin | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:08 am     Enjoy your trip Kady. This explains why Az sent out invitations to a big party tomorrow night.

Tess | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:32 pm     Have a gret time, Kady! Wonder if we should start a pool on the # of new messages. |
