Hey there Cats...

Hope everyone had a great 4th :pride

Hi Dan, we do acknowledge your posts and appreciate helping with the post count! Hope Courtney ,Zoe (sp) & Rocky are all doing well.

We have been busy creating a new wedding line for Cris-Dee's. We are doing a wedding show on the 20th. We created some really beautiful bags. We are also going to be on Fox 35 news this coming Monday. We have 3 segments between 6am and 9am. A god awful hour but very good for our business. I am excited. I wish you all could get our channel!

Barb, sorry to hear what you have gone through. I hope you are feeling better. Yes, the O'girls will be there at the Raddison to party with you all the night before the cruise.

All the shopping talk....I actually laid my shopping bags down a couple of years ago. If I shop it is about once every six months or so. We are getting for a big garage sale next weekend and I am selling about 200 items of clothing between me & Doris. Some of my stuff still has tags on it. Shame shame!

Regina, we do your kind of camping two but no a/c so we only camp in the cooler months.

George, the resort sounds like it was very nice. Did you take pics?

Sheree, sounds like the 4th was a really nice time for you guys. It is always nice to be with family and childhood friends.

We spent the 4th at Cris and Julie's in the pool and bbq'in. It was a very nice day :)

Jim, and family hope all is well on the west side!

Time to go price stuff for the garage sale.... :wave

Hi guys - home from the finals of the baseball tournament. Unfortunately, my cousin's team lost in the semi-finals. It was a great time and we are making plans to see them in October for a weekend to celebrate birthdays. We found out that my cousin's birthday and Greg's birthday are a day apart (I didn't realize that!) and it falls on the weekend this year, so we figured it would be a good weekend to get away and have some fun!

Back to work tomorrow, and back to cruise planning. We need to find out what night Quest is, plan a Chops night, and also figure out St Thomas/St John.

Also, are any of you thinking of doing the NextCruise thing like we did last year? We are considering it.

Dee - good luck with the yard sale. It does feel nice to get rid of the extra stuff. And good luck with the Fox segment. I hope we can somehow see it on a link or something!

Regina, George, back from your little adventures???

Good evening all,

Back from the weekend hiatus. With the exception of being woken up with construction work this morning, everything else was good. Arrielle and I kicked back in the pool last night wtaching "Monsters Inc" on the worlds largest projection screen. We may stay at this place again on Labor day weekend if funds are ok. Dee, we didn't take pics, hopefully next time.


Just couldn't resist could you? Yes, coincidentally there was a Dillards nearby the resort and Anne and Arrielle more than made up for coming home empty handed Wednesday night.


Maybe we can plan chops on the same night?


I don't suppose you could take Annes wardrobe on consignment could you :D

Dan I do think that all your questions are being answered. If you just read everyone told you what they were doing for the 4th. They just did not say Hi Dan wea re doing this blah, blah, blah.................They made it a general statement to all of us, you included. Besides you did not mention what your plans were so no one could comment on them any way.
So stop Crying........That is Zoey' job now. man up Daddy! Stop being a baby Wah wah!

Barb sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope that you get better soon. I had to take Beta blockers and they wiped me out. I could not function so I finally told the doctor if I was not going to die from my little heart problem (MVP) then I was not going to take them so he said okay and I have not taken them in years.Maybe 6 or 7 or more. Go to Siesta Key Beach for sure.

We survived camping but I do think that we have bed bugs in the mattress as both time we have been I have been eaten alive by something and I itch all over. I use bug spray in the day so it must be something in the bed at night. (and no it is not Tom, he snores but does not bite) Having a ten year old made it pretty interesting and tiring. George I feel for you. Dan your time is coming just wait. Sheree I think that our decision to not have children is one of the smartest life choices that we have ever made. What a non stop responsibility. Although it was nice to have her with us, she was high maintenance. She is a hyper one and easily bored and distracted so you have to keep her busy all the time. She did get her junior ranger badge because we made her do the little booklet and turn it in. For some who did not want to do it she wore her badge proudly on the way home. ;)

We saw a lot of wildlife (no George) I mean animals. Gators, deer, hogs, buzzards, raccoons, a turtle, frogs, squirrels so that really excited Haley. Siesta Key beach was the best BEACH ever. I do not like the beach and usually do not want to stay long and do not go in the water. Although the water was not as blue as the Caribbean, I loved the beach day yesterday. It was absolutely the most perfect beach day. There was a great breeze so you did not swelter in the heat. The water was calm, not rough, no under currents, and the sand was out of this word. It was on the Travel channel last week as one of Fl's top ten beaches. It is # 1 for me. I would definitely go there again.

The sand is the texture of powdered sugar. No matter where you are the sand doesn't get hot. You can walk the whole Beach up in the dry sand area and never burn your feet. That is unheard of here. Haley made Sand Angels. She laid down in the sand and made Angles like you do in the snow so you know the sand could not be hot. It was by far the best beach experience I have ever had. I played in the water with Haley and did not want to leave when Tom was ready to go. It was great. We may have to do our time share there some time soon.

Missed shopping at Dillards this weekend. :( Guess I will live though.

Okay so that makes me good for a few weeks now right after all this is a pretty long post for the Knappman clan.

REGINA ( did not want Dan to be angry at Tom)

Hi Cats....sounds like a good weekend was had by all! Regina, the beach sounds wonderful. I agree with you on the kid thing....my cousin Michelle has 3 boys and 1 girl between 6 and 11. While the 11 year old was playing his baseball game, the middle one was the bat boy, and she had to keep an eye on the twins who were all over the place. While they were incredibly well behaved all weekend, by dinner on Sunday, everyone was tired and a real handful in the restaurant. When we went to the tournament last year, I really thought that we had missed out on having kids, especially when Greg was so into the baseball games and yelling for Matt. But for the other 364 days out of the year, I don't regret our decision at all!

George, sounds like the resort was great for you and the family.

Ok...off to work. Boy, it's going to be a hard Monday!

Dan ,

I may be mistaken, and most certainly correct me if I'm wrong....going out on a limb here with my best guess...I'll say....All of us?


I'll have you know that I am quite comfortable / secure in my masquelinity! Besides, the donning of a little fire engine red lipstick and 3" pumps hardly quantify one as a closet cross dresser. Furthermore, I would ask that you produce some type of photographic proof that would back up your claim that any such thing ever took place. I only suggest such a thing out of friendship and foregoing any potential legal action for defimation of character :D


How come if I write that I'm a bully :D


Just what are you suggesting...I've matured since the last time you seen me :D


Being the bearer of good news...a week beofre the cruise :(


My offer still stands to let Arrielle come and spend the summer with you :D

Forgot to mention Anne and I are in the process of going through 11 years of over priced cruise photos (none framed to date) and couldn't help but notice we have notta one group shot of everyone getting on the ship at embarkation. Anyone interested in doing one this year? I only ask because many of you are getting a little long in the tooth and I would like to have a nice photo to hang on the wall :D

DAN was that cat Garfield?

Hey George, I just call them like I see them. If that makes me a bully or a Witch with a B then so be it.

Hey they had Chris-Dees FAB BAGS featured on our local FOx news station this morning. I taped so I could see it all as they do it in little segments through out the morning news. Chris looks like you are letting you hair grow out some. I like the new Do. I am trying to let mine grow too. Glad that you received some exposure this morning. Great job ladies ans the bags were pretty cute. I have to go watch the rest to see if they did any more after I left for work.
