Mouseteacher...Your post made me cry.... as I pictured you seeing it for the first time. I too...watched the MM club show, and even had the entire KIT (wearing it as the show would air each afternoon)! So, when we lived in San Diego...we visited regularly! The very first time I saw the park, I was stunned at the larger~than~life colorful attractions, including the most magnificent castle I had EVER seen!
From that "second" forward, I was HOOKED! I have never been able to shake that feeling (not that I would WANT to!), and still get chills everytime I pass through the gates.
I also KNEW you would appreciate the joke! I can not even TELL you the other things she wrote in her letter!! ALL enough to make me GAG. But...as you wrote, she needs to RIDE this one for all it's worth (as BOSTON has a history of looong DRY SPELLS). It's all good...after all, even a BLIND Squirrel finds an ACORN!!
If her letters are not bad enough, I have to see the articles and cover of the current issue of BOSTON MAGAZINE (monthly subscription also compliments of DM!).
*Change of plans...we are heading home shortly, as DD wants to study for some tests tomorrow...and DH needs to decorate the rest of the yard, etc.! It's also VETERAN'S DAY, and the park is PACKED! So...we are going to RETURN here this SUNDAY, for the entire day (to make up for today)! LOL...as if we have not had ENOUGH! Several attractions are closed, and the CASTLE is being REFURBED as well.
This will give me time to finish decorating the trees, and other stuff (& prevent DD from missing any school!). She had an inservice day yesterday, and a holiday today. She does not want to miss any...as she will be missing quite a few with the London/Paris trip!
I've been VERY GOOD so far, with $PENDING while here! Usually, it's a matter of some type of LOSS of CONTROL...which just comes over me (MAGICALLY!). I brought some PINS to trade with castmembers, etc. (from WDW and CASTAWAY CAY!), and aside from some coffee stuff...cotton candy, and FEW extra pins, and some DEPT. 56 items in the Christmas shop...I've been good! I did buy some C. Radko ornaments, and a boxed set of limited edition FELT ornaments (absolutely adorable), but refrained from my usual "spending" habits!! This gives me all the more $$$ to spend in LONDON/PARIS!! Simple justification and reasoning!!
I just kept telling DD..."Louis Vuitton, Guerlain...Stila and D&B...Harrods...etc." and she would look at me and SMILE, gently shaking her head to the side as if I were NUTS!
TEENAGERS!!! Just wait 'till she gets to London, and reflects a desire for some "trinket" (It will all make perfect sense THEN!!).

Hope everything is going well with Nat, and the rest of the clan! You are often in my thoughts, and I can still picture you laughing and clowning as we RAN AMUCK at the Grand Floridian this past July!
Enjoy the week...

to everyone else! I have you all in my thoughts & prayers...and always ask God to watch over each and every one of you with special care.
XOXOXO....
