Afternoon all&#33; Cold day today and tonight heading towards freezing&#33; Yikes&#33; Glad it will only last a few days. Finished cleaning the house this morning and now I&#39;m on to the washing and ironing. After that maybe I&#39;ll pack. The weather doesn&#39;t look hot and sunny but we&#39;ll make the best of it. DD had a wonderful birthday with her friends. Seems that the gift for a 21 year old is booze&#33; Yikes..... Now we can look forward to our weekend away from the men&#33; (No offense gentlemen but us girls need time for girltalk without distractions&#33;) Thanks all for Cynthia&#39;s Happy Birthday wishes. She went with me to the store yesterday and bought a 6 pack of beer....LOL&#33; Yes she was proofed although the cashier knew she was 21 since we are friends but she asked for the ID anyway and told her to get used to it as she looks 15. Not what she wants to hear but someday she&#39;ll love it&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl hope your feeling better today and are getting more done. Hope the snow stays away and gives you a break.<br /><br />Joey not sure I remember the discussion...........&quot;if I am old enough to go to war then I should be old enough to have a drink&quot; but I sure as heck agree with it. I am not so naive&#39; as to think my kids didn&#39;t drink when they were younger, what kid didn&#39;t? I don&#39;t remember 21 anymore so I&#39;m living through her&#33; LOL<br /><br />Ray glad you made it home safely and Crazie had a good time too. It&#39;s always hard when noro hits a ship, glad you didn&#39;t get it.<br /><br />Steve, it&#39;s only a few more days and you&#39;ll be gone........relax and try not to let them get to you. Hope your sister gets in OK.<br /><br />Jenn, I&#39;m pretty sure DD had one too many yesterday......20 friends at Chili&#39;s will do that. LOL  Happy to hear your weather is improving and your gardening is coming along.<br /><br />Marylou enjoy the Beach Boys&#33; I love their music.<br /><br />Sue glad your weather has improved some. Enjoy your book.<br /><br />Maria, don&#39;t overdo even though your feeling pretty well. Your body needs time to heal.<br /><br />Howard nice to see you on the dock.<br /><br />2009 cruise sounds great if I can swing it. Howie and I are definately headed to Europe that year so not sure if we can swing air twice. <br /><br />Tonia, it&#39;s nice to have a restful day.<br /><br />Well laundry is calling so I better get to it. Have a great day all&#33;
