Today &quot;baby&quot; brother Bill turns 55 - Happy Birthday Bill - time sure does fly.   I still remember the day Mom &amp; Dad brought him home - Nannie made me a blue &amp; white sun dress for the homecoming and I can still see that dress.  Isn&#39;t it funny the things you remember?  Finally going to get my hair cut this afternoon - trying a new Salon so am a bit nervous but it has reached that stage where I can&#39;t stand it one more day - you know what I&#39;m talking about ladies.  Just found out last night that Heather &amp; Cait will be coming up on Sunday and staying over til Monday so it is back to the grocery store today - I thought I was finished shopping for the weekend but now need to get some goodies for Heather and her diabetes.   This will be Cait&#39;s first long trip and I can&#39;t wait to see them.   Haven&#39;t seen them since the day we picked up her new car.   <br /><br />As far as TJ goes - that little guy can&#39;t catch a break.   The Dr. in Philly called last night and they still don&#39;t have a diagnosis from his blood work.    They are still leaning towards some type of clotting disorder but need to do more blood work starting in mid-July and doing blood work every week for a month.   (Hint:  buy stock in ToysRUs - this is getting expensive)  However it looks like they will not be able to do the surgery for the nose bleeds due to his inability to clot.    This is getting very scary.<br /><br />Joey - I hope you are doing better today and had a good &quot;me/us&quot; day yesterday.   We all need one of those once in  a while.    Remember, you have lots of friends here and we love you.   <br /><br />Karla - good luck to Kyle &amp; Rachel on the house bid.    Have a great weekend away.  I&#39;m sure you are getting anxious to see Mandy again.    Has she decided to take the job she was offered?<br /><br />Andrea - stay cool - at least now you have the AC back up and running even though it did cost more than you expected.   Fortunately the compressor wasn&#39;t damaged.   That went on Deb &amp; Mikes unit and they were talking REALLY big bucks to get it back up and running.  How&#39;s Dad today?<br /><br />Jenn - you have such a way with words - thanks for saying the things a lot of us wanted to say but just couldn&#39;t put into words.   Good luck with the new chair<br /><br />Rose - how is the project coming along?   Sounds like they are really wasting no time.<br /><br />Tonia - glad to see you posting a bit more.   I&#39;m sure you are so busy but we miss hearing from you.   Going to make a big batch of your yummy potato salad for this weekend.   That recipe is great and I make it all the time.   <br /><br />Sue - glad you had fun at your sisters house and out on the lake.<br /><br />Jackie - how are things in California?   I&#39;m sure you are swamped getting acclimated to your new responsibilities there - can&#39;t wait to hear from you.<br /><br />Cheryl - won&#39;t be long now.   Scotty must be so excited.    It will be a fun time for all of you.   Take lots and lots of pictures.   <br /><br />Ed - Herb Alpert - now that&#39;s a real trip down memory lane.   Have fun with those 33 1/3&#39;s.   They are real collectors items.   Our grandkids will never know what a record player looked like.  Glad you still have your reel to reel - ours gave out a couple of years ago and couldn&#39;t be fixed.<br /><br />Steve - enjoy your econ. stimulus check and spend it before they ask for it back.   lol.   Sorry traffic is adding so much stress to your work day.    <br /><br />deb - How exciting that they are making a movie in your hometown.   I remember when they were filming part of the Godfather on Staten Island.   Traffic was a nightmare and you couldn&#39;t get near the place.   They actually used my aunt&#39;s MIL house for the wedding scenes in that moving and they couldn&#39;t even be around during the filming.   <br /><br />Well, time to get moving and rework all my menus for the weekend since I now need to feed company for two extra days.   I hope I get the sheets in the wash from the first group before the second group arrives.   If now, the girls will just get put to work as soon as they arrive.   Will certainly have a full house from Friday through Monday but I love it.   <br /><br />Make today  special  - I&#39;ll be back later.
