Amy ---

Tonne & Landmeier????

Or the Terrace Apartments??

I think that it was on Ridge Road, I remember that I could get off the tollway on Biesterfield and I could keep going past the Jewel and my apt was back in there somewhere. There were several 3 or 4 story buildings.

Ugghhh, you're killin' me!! I don't remember. I haven't been back that way in a LONG time. I'm going to have to go back there next time we're in Chicago just to see. Chris thinks that it was actually Ridge Square.

 

[ohiominnie]

Very cool. It says round trip to Orlando will cost us about $238. I budgeted $300 so we should be fine.

Mary, I'm sure you've said, but I don't remember....
are you driving straight through?

Off of Cypress -- by Salt Creek? Actually facing it??

Oh well...
My day of leisure and rest while dh and kids were at Cedar Point is coming to an end. Got all the bed sheets changed, washed and put back on. Plus 4 more loads of laundry. Vacuumed the house. Cleaned the bathrooms. Cross stitched. Watched a movie. Scrapbooked. DIS'd.

Wait a sec....that doesn't sound like leisure or rest!

Back into my corner and going back into lurk and rarely post mode....
It's been fun today!

Ok now how is it possible to get all that done in one day? I did do 2 1/2 loads of laundry today and put away 5, however whenever I sit down to scrap I get distracted by the DIS and never scrap.

I don't know, that sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't remember.

Mary's catching z's and I'm about to join her, it's been a very long weekend. Fun, but later than we'd usually do and is catching up to us now.

No way are we going straight thru, my parents used to do that, too grueling for us. Driving as far as Murfreesboro both ways. And even that'll be hard as I don't think we'll be on the road from here till at least noon, if not later.

I absolutely HAVE to do some scrapping tomorrow. I have a circle journal that is supposed to be mailed out today. But, well, I'm a little behind. I don't even have a theme yet.

Okay, Amy, we'll figure it out.

At one time I lived in Ridge Square and also the Terrace Apartments. A long time ago. There aren't too many around there. I'll think about it.

Speaking of gas prices, have you guys seen the AAA website that you put in your car make/model/year and your starting city and ending city and it gives you the round trip gas cost. It's really cool!! http://www.fuelcostcalculator.com/TripGasPrice.aspx

Very cool....it will cost us around $249 round trip...probably less since that is from Detroit and we are 50 MI S of there

Ok, I've confirmed it! It had to be the Terrace Apts. I looked at some pics online and the floor plans. I had a one bedroom apt there for a year before I moved to FL.

$ 430 if we take the Avalanche

$ 230 if we take the Sebring convertible


Hmmm not a hard decision We will drive the Sebring in Oct.

We're flying for this cruise but in December we will be driving down. Since there will be six of us we will need to take two cars. Both cars round trip in December (barring any additional increases) will cost us about $450.00. Possibly a small bit more since we are north of Detroit.

On Friday an area church group and the gas station near our house did a promotion of selling gas for $1.99 a gallon. They ran it until 8 PM and at 8:30 there was still a line of cars almost a 1/2 mile long. Of course I gassed up the day before, but my dd was able to get in on the deal. She was there early and only waited about 20 minutes.

Good Morning Everyone - at least, it's morning for y'all!

Graduated from Lamar High School, Lamar Colorado

Current job - I'm a housewife - or is that the politically correct term now? I could be risque and just say I'm a kept woman! All I know is I work harder at home all day long now than I did as a computer programmer lo these many years past! I sell Mary Kay part-time, too, but mostly I take care of everyone and that's a full-time job!

Dream job - would have to be Disney-related for sure. Somedays I think I would be content selling balloons, just for a chance to be near the mouse. Other days, I'd love to be in the Christmas store. And still other days, I would love to be a tour guide (maybe the know-it-all in me coming out?)! Oh, the choices, the choices!

Congratulations on the 8000th post, Annmarie!

Amy, thanks for the information on the gas - only $254.79 for a trip to Orlando, but after all the meals and hotels for the long trek, I have to wonder what that would amount to!

Way back in 1982, I lived in the Terrace Apartments. A long, long time ago when I lived another life (that would be with my ex right after we were married).

Just another of those strange twilight zone moments!

Mary, I'm sure you've said, but I don't remember....

Karen - no we don't drive straight through. Especially since Mark does all the driving (his choice). We'll leave home around noon and drive to Murfreesboro, TN to stop for the night. Then the next day we'll go from there down to WDW. Coming home will be the same in reverse - stopping at the same hotel in Murfreeesboro.
