Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />Hope you all had a great holiday weekend.  We had a nice BBQ, and had great weather.  Today was the hottest we have had, I think...it reached at least 90 with a dew point of 69...very humid.   That&#39;s a little too warm for me.  I think summer is here in the Twin Cities.  Just had a nice relaxing day today...stayed inside with the central air...LOL  OK...so I&#39;m a wimp.  LOL  With the cold winters we have here, I never like to complain about the heat, so I just stay inside with the air on if it&#39;s too hot.  LOL   Only 14 more Saturdays till we board the &quot;Oosterdam&quot; to the Mexican Riviera...I&#39;m getting really excited.  At that time, it will be almost 4 years since our last cruise.  Then we have another one, on the Carnival Pride, to the Caribbean in July of 2009.  We&#39;ve never been double stacked before.  Too exciting&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Wish we were able to sail on the &quot;Connie&quot; with you.  I would sooo love that&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Tonia...loved your beautiful card&#33;  Don&#39;t work too hard...looking forward to meeting you in October.<br /><br />Steve...loved your pictures&#33;  It is sooo beautiful there&#33;  Glad you and Lynda are starting to feel better.<br /><br />Jenn...hope you&#39;re feeling better and watching that BP.

Hope all goes well this week, and you have a great time at the wedding this weekend&#33;<br /><br />Andrea...don&#39;t worry about the posts...I was a little shocked at that one myself&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...glad you had a great time at Disney with little Scotty.
