Member spotlight- Scrappy*****

I worked at a local restaurant as a waitress while I was in high school. (Think Arnolds from Happy Days). Our customers were mostly locals and we had as most small places do regulars. There were two men who ate dinner there every night. One was divorced and the other one was getting divorced. I always chatted with these two men. The one getting divorced kept telling me he had a son my age. I never really gave it much thought. When the school year was over he started coming in with a much younger guy. (silly me still did not realize it was his son). The regular customer came in alone one night after having the younger guy with him for several nights. I asked him where "curly" was. Yep, Mrhub had long (in a ponytail) curly hair. The regular customer then asked me if I was interested in him. I still had not put two and two together that this was his son. The following night Mrhub showed up without his father and asked if I would like to go to a party with him. And as the say, the rest is history. That was 35 years ago! Boy are we old!!!

As far as why we are still so happy goes...I am not sure there is one single thing that works for us or even if what works for us would work for everyone. We do not fight and never have. Sure we have disagreements but no one can live with someone else and always agree. Mostly, we do not go to bed mad and we try so very hard not to sweat the small stuff and most of it is small stuff. Years ago I read in a book, "when you find a lump ask yourself is it in your oatmeal or your breast." That has always helped me put into perspective what is small stuff. In some ways we were opposites. I was a bit wild, he was shy. I was country, he was rock n roll. With time and age our likes have changed. But, the one thing that has never changed is the fact that we enjoy being together. We still want to make each other happy and to feel loved. I think that is what everyone wants you just have to find the best way for you to do it.

wow, great story Scrappy. thanks for that!

We do not have any plans to visit Aulani. Maybe someday will give it a try though.

I do the planning for our trips. I always ask Mark if he has something he wants me to book as far as our ADRs but he always answers you know which ones I like. We both love the Poly so that is a no brainer and when we stay using DVC points we decide together where we want to stay. For most of our trips we do not do much planning other than resort and meals.

This is a hard question without knowing your Mothers likes and dislikes. I myself tend to go for purses when I am there. I also have a Pandora bracelet so I am always looking for new charms for it. I love Mickey ornaments for our Christmas tree. If she is not into Disney so much you could check out the lotions, bath gels, shampoos and such from either the deluxe resorts or the spas.

That was a very sweet story, scrappy, thanks for sharing!

yay Scrappy!

What a great story of how you and mr hubs met.

What is your favorite meal at California Grille?

How many times have you been to WDW?

Mickey ornaments might be a great idea! Thanks! She likes Disney and went a couple of christmases ago (without me!) so she has pretty much everything but can always use more ornaments

I usually start with a salad. I have had several different salads and have loved them all. I have had the flatbreads too. Again I have loved them all! For my main course I have always had their Oak-fired Filet of Beef. I love it so much that although I always say I am going to try something else, I never have. I do not have a favorite dessert there. I do usually try something different each time. The only one I have had more than once is the Valrhona Chocolate Cake.

Honestly, I really do not know. My best guess would be 25-30.

Holy Moly . . . You should have a customized, personalized, valet-attended villa of your own by now!!!

So, where would WDW build this special accommodation for you? Understand that in my special fantasy question world that it could be anywhere you wanted it to be. . .
