we are going to travel to the state of DR Chas and enjoy dinner in a dining car on the Essex steam train

vixmom · « **Reply #127 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:15:12 PM »

then we will be spending the night and the next day we will take a trip on the steam paddle wheeler and perhaps another train ride before heading home

actually originally I was reserving a place at a B & B , I was annoyed they had a two night minimum and we would need to drive up friday night ... but they were supposed to include first class tickets for n=both the steam ship and train rides

vixmom · « **Reply #131 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:18:36 PM »

th eowner was supposed to call me back yesterday to confirm all the details and he never did

vixmom · « **Reply #132 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:20:48 PM »

I called tonight and was advised that the price quoted did not include any tickets that offer was only good Sunday through Thursday and was going to be 15% higher than we were told so i cancelled the reservation

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:21:51 PM »

I went through booking.com and found a hotel that we could book for just the Saturday and included free breakfast then we went to my Moms

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:22:56 PM »

when i go t back i dod some more browsing and discovered there was a special deal at this hotel if we were going to the steam ship/train place.

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:24:51 PM »

I called and spoke to a very nice gentleman who told me that he did have such a deal but he was fully booked - I explained about my reservation and he said he could re-book me for the same room at $50 savings - so he did that and i cancelled my booking.com booking

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:25:49 PM »

the savings in going from two nights to one and the additional price reduction will completely pay for the tickets and dinner

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:27:14 PM »

the pie social at our church for next weekend was cancelled due to lack of ticket sales (to be rescheduled later in the year)

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:27:36 PM »

Saskatoon berry pie is a favorite in this house

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:27:58 PM »

we have only eaten it in in Canada

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:34:34 PM »

I am very fond of the wildberry pie at the Perkins in Florida

vixmom · « **Reply #141 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:35:22 PM »

when i was a teenager i used to make a lemon meringue pie every week my family loved it and I was pretty good at it

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:35:53 PM »

but Vixdad and the Vixter were not fans and I have not made it in years

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:37:02 PM »

I used to make apple pies as well but I have gotten lazy in recent years and will just pick one up at Costco

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:37:41 PM »

I do still make chicken pie and beef and mushroom pie for dinner sometimes

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:39:37 PM »

the vixter suggested ( when the pie social was still on) that I should consider making one of those for my pie .. after all there was no requirement in the rules that it be a dessert pie

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:40:01 PM »

i wonder how close we are to page six?

vixmom · « **Reply #147 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:40:14 PM »

not that close

vixmom · « **Reply #148 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:40:55 PM »

i have received my copy of LA now and then and intend to give it a listen over the weekend

vixmom · « **Reply #149 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:41:12 PM »
