Morning Crazies&#33;<br />A beautiful sunny day here in Montreal, but it sure could use some warming up&#33;<br />They&#39;re promising 27C by Thursday (80F&#33;&#33;) but I&#39;ll believe it when I see it&#33;<br /><br />Yesterday Greg&#39;swife asked what we do to celebrate Victoria Day. Well, I&#39;ll tell you what I did - I slept in late and then had a long afternoon nap&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br />It&#39;s really not much of a holiday, especially in Quebec. Since it&#39;s a day to celebrate Queen Victoria&#39;s birthday, and a tribute to our British rule, Quebec separatists have taken the holiday and renamed it &quot;Patriot&#39;s Day&quot; to commemorate Quebec&#39;s defeat of the English in battle.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> <br /><br />Traditionally, it&#39;s been a long weekend to celebrate spring, and is the big plant and flower buying/planting weekend of the year. However, this weekend, between the torrential downpour Saturday, the freezing temperatures Sunday, the frost overnight, and the cool windy day yesterday, nobody bothered trying to plant anything&#33;<br /><br />Off to work today, for a 2-day week&#33; I&#39;ve taken Thursday off for Dr. appointments including a follow-up from the heart surgery, and then on Friday, we&#39;re outta here, headed for FLL and the Carnival Freedom on Saturday&#33; Whoo Hoo&#33;<br /><br />In answer to somebody else&#39;s question, no I am not packed or ready&#33;  I did manage to take the pile of summer clothes I intend to pack and get them all ironed yesterday, but that&#39;s about as far as I got.<br />Much packing to do this week, and I am running out of time&#33;<br /><br />donna
