It&#39;s the weekend and I hope everyone has something FUN planned.   I hope to get out to the Lehigh Valley Hospital fair today - they usually have lots of nice craft booths.   First order of business though is to take Ash &amp; TJ down to Deb&#39;s bank for their child safety day.   The local police will be there to fingerprint the kids and give them ID cards  with all their vital stats on - a really great program.  Deb had it done 2 years ago but we were away last year when they did it.<br /><br />The kids are now stars( or so they think)  Our local TV station has started running promos for the Heart Walk in September which begin with a close up of their pic from their poster and the announcer saying &quot;Meet Ashleigh &amp; TJ Mulroy - this years child chairs for the AHA. &quot;  They ran it about 6 times yesterday - Ash &amp; TJ never sat still watching TV  for such a long period of time.   They were sooooo excited.   Ash was just disappointed that she wasn&#39; t in school yet so all her friends could see it.    I fear we have created monsters.   lol   <br /><br />Shaunna - I&#39;m glad Layla&#39;s birthday was nice.   Hope a new job comes thru for you.<br /><br />Falina - how was Chicago.  Hope you had a great time.   I hope you find a load for your truck that broke down.<br /><br />Shari - glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.<br /><br />Jackie - I hope Fay stays away as you make your way home.<br /><br />Robert - Doing the doc dance with you.   It won&#39;t be long before you and Annie are relaxing by the pool with a tall drink in your hand.    Better get those manchores done so you can begin packing.<br /><br />Joey - you have been so busy getting things ready for your home inspection and interview I&#39;m sure you and David  are having trouble slowing down.    You need a cruise - glad you have one coming so soon.<br /><br />Andrea - I remember those days when I couldn&#39;t wait for the kids to go back to school - then when they did I missed them and wished they were home.    It will help you in taking care of your parents though if you don&#39;t have to worry about taking Rose along with you on your trips to the Dr. <br /><br />Cheryl - your coffee pods sound like a great idea.   When we travel Jim takes along the coffee bags (just like tea bags only bigger) Both Maxwell house and Folgers make them.    He says they make an OK cup of coffee.  Good luck with your painting project this weekend.<br /><br />Deb - hope you get to Cruisin.  You are so right about the cost of groceries - they seem to go up every time I shop.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - enjoy your game and your dancing.   Sounds like a fun weekend.<br /><br />Jenn - your halloween decor sounds great.   You always do such a great job just don&#39;t overdo it.<br /><br />Rose - get packing Girl - you&#39;ve got a cruise coming up.    <br /><br />Steve - glad all went well with your physical and you like your new Dr.    Watch that BP. I hadn&#39; t heard of a shingles shot but having gone thru this for more than 6 weeks now I think I would definately look into it and consider the side effects vs. actually having the shingles.   At first I thought big deal - I have a funny looking rash but boy it is so much more than that.   The rash is long gone but the pain forgot to go away with the rash.   It is really exhausting being in this kind of pain 24 - 7 to say nothing of what it has done to my charming personality.   lol<br /><br />Ed - glad everything is falling into place for Roe&#39;s treatment.<br /><br />Oops - the kids are on TV again - my phone should be ringing any second now.   Yep - there&#39;s Ash.  <br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   I hope everyone has a great weekend.<br /><br />Make today special and share a smile with someone who needs one.
