Wanna whole lot of love?

So, today we went for our 90 minute spiel on time shares. Well of course it turned out to be 3 hours....it took saying "no" that many times. When we got into the room, the guy giving the pitch asked how many came just for the "free gifts"? Of course, I was the only one who raised my hand. You know darn well, NO ONE in that room went with the intent of buying. I must say it is a very interesting concept. You actually are purchasing a deed and buy points in the resorts which gives you a lot more flexibility, and does not tie you into one specific timeshare. IF I were to purchase a vacation plan, that would certainly be a consideration. Salt got a little bored with the sales reps standing on their heads trying to wangle a deal., but as you can see he is happy with his $125 worth of gift cards. He really shouldn't be that happy since we will probably end up spending them in the restaurant in Bass Pro when the kids are here. The company actually has a pretty good reputation according to both Forbes and Fortune. I might just do this again sometime! It was an interesting way to spend a rainy day. The weather started clearing tonight and is supposed to be beautiful all next week.


Right in back of the resort is the new Hard Rock Amusement Park http://www.hardrockpark.com/ . It is the first of it's kind and the first amusement park to be built in the US in the last 7 years. This is the Led Zeppelin roller coaster. It is interactive with the song Wanna whole lot of love? The park also has 3 other roller coasters...wahoo...here we go Betty and Mike! The official Grand Opening is not until June but they will be opening evenings starting April 15....just in time for the kid's spring break. Emma won't do it but Matt and Janna will love it!

I guess after using the same card for over 2 years and thousands of pictures, I need to replace it. That little black spot is evidently burnout???? Another trip to Wal Mart tomorrow.




Trace Adkins and Kellie Pickler coming to the Turning Stone Casino in July. Ordering tickets for Betty and myself and hoping to meet up with my friend Diane Kone. Should be a good show!!

My brother Joe called tonight...great news! His son Joseph won the election for student body treasurer at Oneonta University. Quite an honor Joeseph...we are all proud of you!!!
