We have been busy!!

I really couldn't take the color our new house was painted. It was so dark and gloomy. We had always planned to paint, but knew it would be a big expense as well as a big mess. We finally got up all of our nerve and had it done. It was like moving out and moving back in again. But it was worth it.I guess I need "after" photos.


Julie and Grant had us over for Ken's birthday. It was so nice of Julie to cook for us.











A few days later, Tiffany and Kyle came to visit. It was great to see them.









A couple of days after that we flew to Orlando with John and Betty.



It was my first time to Orlando. The first day we went to Epcot.


"It doesn't get any better than this."



We had a trip around the world without the jet lag.









Our best meal of the trip was in "Italy".


The day was ended with a bang!!



The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom.



It was in the mid 90's all week so every time we saw people in character costumes we felt really sorry for them.



Old coots in the shade.


Enjoying a cool moment after lunch indoors.




The classic and always wonderful electric parade.



On the third day we went to Sea World.

We saw two shows with jumping dolphins and whales...

...and one show with jumping humans.


We saw birds who actually like living in a freezer.




But outside the freezer the flowers were in full bloom.






My favorite part of the day was feeding and petting the dolphins.



The fourth day we went back to Epcot to see what we'd missed on the first day.






The next day we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios.



We enjoyed this backdrop that makes us look like we're on a long road up a hill in San Fransisco.

The Beauty and the Beast stage show was great.


Our last day we went back to the Magic Kingdom for our last dose of fantasy.

BUT, when we got home we learned of a REAL fantasy come true.



Grant made it official and now Julie has her ring.





They are very happy, and so are we!! Julie really is a dream come true.

We are soooo lucky to be getting her and her girls in our lives.

Walt Disney knew what he was talking about...dreams really do come true.
