  1. I was told they require a Florida Driver's License to get the Florida Discount.

     

    We missed out on the renewal savings for our Annual Passes this year.  First time ever I think.  Not enough money to buy them before April 15.  Cost for us would be over $2700 for the 4 of us.  Too many other expenses right now....like Guardianship Costs for Shawnee.  Since he will turn 18 on June 11, we have to get legal guardianship of him since he will be unable to take care of his own affairs.  Even if he were our biological child we would have to do the same thing.  That has not been cheap but he is worth it all.  And in about 18 months we have to do it all over again for Kimberly.   Our babies are growing up.

     

    Not sure how it will all play out, the finances, when it gets closer to our trip in December.  God will provide. :pope:

  2. As my dear hubby mentioned earlier we always stay at the In and Out RV Park.  It is far from fancy but for a one night stop over, it is fine.  We always have a pull through and full hook up with Cable.  And it is not a long drive from there to the Fort the next morning.

    We will be staying there again in December, going and coming, if our trip doesn't get cancelled.  :mh1:

  3. As my dear hubby said, we would love some of the wood.  A couple of pieces would be soooooo nice.  If anyone is there and can get us a couple of pieces we would be very greatful.  

     

    Yes, I am back on here.  Been off for a while taking care of much needed paperwork for getting guardianship of Shawnee....he will turn 18 in June and will not be able to handle his own affairs so we have to be appoionted as his legal guardians.  We also have to register him for the draft....yes that is correct....the draft.  Our attorney told us that when the Judge grants us the guardianship, he will also note in his file that Shawnee will not be able to vote or carry a gun.  No problem but I do question him having to register for the draft but can't carry a gun   HA! :jumpforjoy

     

    I have also been working on getting letters of recommendation from physicians and therapists, etc. recommending us as Colby's adoptive parents.    We ask for prayers from all of you for our approval.  

  4. Every store I shop in now I find myself looking for another Mickey Waffle Maker.  I was thinking if I could find one I would buy it and put it in the RV and then if a Fiend needed one and couldn't find one I would have one to hand over.  Still looking.  Not giving up yet.   :purpleflam:  

  5. Thank you Ray.  Kimberly loves to give hugs, kisses and smiles.  She is also a fantastic singer.  You may not understand all her words but just listening to her sing brings sunshine to our home (and RV).  Her Physical Therapist was saying yesterday that she is amazed how Kimberly remembers the tunes and words to all the songs she hears.  I know she will enjoy seeing you in December too. (We all will).

  6. I am glad we got the lift installed too.  Don't know what we would do without my sister and brother-in-law.  Clayton has come to our rescue so many times.   Ken says I can now use the lift so he does not have to carry me down the stairs any longer.  Sure Ken, I am sure you could lift heavy me.  Ha! :jumpforjoy   Now we just need to be able to take a trip in the RV to get away for a few days.  Maybe in April for the kid's Spring Break.  If they will allow the baby to go with us.  I refuse to leave him with someone else but I also do not want to punish Shawnee and Kimberly by making them spend their vacations here.  Bless his heart.  

     

    Please keep the prayers going that we get an answer soon on whether they will allow us to adopt him so that we can move forward with that. :pope:

  7. Sorry this is late Lou.  Been off this thing for a couple of days.  This cold or whatever it is is getting me down.   Hope you had the best birthday ever.  Shawnee said he wants to have a birthday cake with you.   I told him we would probably have to wait and have a Christmas cake with you.  Ha!

     

    We really do hope you had a fantastic day.   God Bless You.  We love you.

  8. We live in Stone Mountain, not far from the campground.  There is a lot to see in Atlanta.  And a lot to see at Stone Mountain Park.

    Some of the attractions will cost you but there are free ones also.  There is a petting zoo, the laser show (as mentioned above), snow mountain is open in January and February but you will miss that.  There is an antibellium home and many other things I can't think of right now.  It is 4:44 am and I have not slept.  The park itself is beautiful.  Enjoy your trip.

     

    Oh there are a couple of campgrounds in Nashville near the new Opry House and the fantastic Opryland Hotel.  They are nice.  We

    have stayed in both of them.

  9. They never have to clean up baked beans when our Shawnee is there.  That boy can put away some beans.  One his favorite foods.  When we tell him we are going to Disney World he will ask "We go to backyard barbecue?"   We say yes and ask him what he wants to do there.

    His reply is always "eat baked beans".  Now he is also adding "corn bread".

     

    :wine:  :wheelchair:

  10. I have always thought the Clysdales were absolutely beautiful.  They usually have some of them in the Mardi Gras parades in Mobile.

    I guess the problem I had, once, with the new bands is that I did have it on my arm.  I am not sure I could get my leg up high enough to wear it on my ankle.  But I may have to try that next year.    :jumpforjoy  :banghead:

  11. We stay for 4 weeks in December and there is no monthly or weekly rates.  In fact, while we are there, the rates change 3 times.  We are there in what Disney considers 3 different price times.  It is expensive and we know we could stay somewhere else much cheaper but we love the Fort so we save all year for it.  I also put the campsite charges on my Disney Visa which gives me, what my grandkids call, Free Money. 

    I do the same for our annual passes.
