Falina - Krista made a gorgeous bride&#33;  So glad everything went so well.  I hope we are going to see some shots of the mother of the bride as well.  How did your little munchkin do at the wedding?<br /><br />Ed - shoveling... you&#39;re not kidding&#33;  That will NEVER be in our future, that&#39;s for sure.<br /><br />Martha - we have also moved on from Kenmore products.  We have a Maytag washer and dryer.... they are the best we have ever had.  Our dishwasher died on us a little while ago.  We have been doing the dishes by hand, which Tony prefers to do anyhow and my back can&#39;t take the bending over and stretching required to unpack the machine.  But we are going to have to replace it - just need the time and the inclination  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />Well I&#39;m back from my short shopping trip.  Stopped at the health food store and got our monthly Vitamins plus some Omega-3, then picked up a cute little top for the cruise.... actually I was looking for a pretty lamp for the RV but got side tracked and landed up in the ladies clothing department - now how did that happen???  Last stop with to pick up my favorite OPI nail polish and when I got home Tony had made a fabulous beef stew, I guess he saw the rain and felt it was appropriate.  It was delicious.<br /><br />Now I am going to do more research for our South African trip......
