Visit to the Happiest Place

The first weekend in June I accompanied Bill to the Panasonic Academic Challenge (PAC) held in Orlando each year. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort with a view of the Magic Kingdom from our room. We could also see the fireworks every night. How cool is that!







Since we were staying a few days, I went for a snack supply run. On my way back, I saw this momma duck and four ducklings crossing a drive way in front of the hotel. I immediately thought of Make Way for Ducklings. In case you've never heard of the story, it is set in Boston. There is even a statue set in the Boston Public Garden commemorating the story.





Having spent 11 years in Tampa, I had to try to visit with old friends. I was able to meet with my friend Chris Holcom and his wife, Jaime, (sorry - he has that pic) for lunch in a NY-style deli. (Note: Even with all my time spent in NY, I honestly can't say how authentic it was. But it was good. Thanks guys!) His Jobsite theatre group is in its 10th season. I love how he and his wife describe each other as "disgustingly talented." They are great together.



We really miss this guy since our move to Boston. We just finished watching the 1st season of the USA Network show called Burn Notice. Excellent show! But, Bruce Campbell reminds us so much of Chris. Chris could play a young Bruce Campbell. Won't know if Jaime will be happy with this imagery or not.







In honor of Bill's last trip to the PAC, I wanted to make a card with his most identifiable Disney character as the theme. Don't you just love the bow?!






Later this week, I will post scrapbook pages from a marathon creative run from Sunday. It felt good to do some catching up.


See you soon.
