Good afternoon, Cruise Crazies&#33;<br />
<br />
It&#39;s a beautiful Fall day here in the Upper Midwest.  It&#39;s now 60 degrees with sunshine.  It may be on the cool side all week.  Everyone&#39;s cooking and food recipes sound sooo good&#33; I need to lose some weight, but with the cooler weather coming it&#39;s hard to do.  I love all the comfort foods in cooler weather.<br />
<br />
Howard...hope you and Cindy are enjoying the new counters&#33;<br />
<br />
Rose...I hope your mom is improving.   It&#39;s so nice of you to make up all that yummy food for her and dad&#33;<br />
<br />
Jen...Happy Anniversay&#33;  Hope you are getting your sea legs back.  It does take a while.  It takes a while to get used to not being waited on, too, lol  So hard to come home and make our own food and bed.  lol  I&#39;m sooo sorry that you have to give up your beautiful lovebirds.<br />
<br />
Mary Lou..sorry about car.  Glad you had a nice time at the wedding.  It must have been so great to visit with your friend and catch up on everything.  Happy Birthday to Ashleigh&#33;<br />

Cheryl...hope the computer is doing better...soooo glad you got good news on the biopsy...hope the canning is going well&#33;  I am excited about DWTS this year, too.  I missed seeing Cameron Mathison last night, though, since it was Marc&#39;s birthday and we had the kids and grandkids over.  I will watch it on the computer tonight on ABC.com after the results show.<br />
<br />

Maria...I&#39;m soo sorry to hear that you need some knee surgery.  My brother just went through that and I know it&#39;s no fun&#33;  I will keep you in my prayers for a successful surgery and a fast recovery and healing&#33;  Happy Birthday to your granddaughter&#33;<br />
<br />
Byron...Welcome back&#33;  It&#39;s nice to hear from you&#33;<br />

Tonia...I&#39;m so glad you don&#39;t have to have surgery.  I hope you will be able to manage better with a shorter cast.  A real bummer that you have to have a cast on for your cruise.  Hang in there.  Love the pink cast, though&#33;<br />
