It will be  a good day to put on a nice big pot of stew.  Went to Sam&#39;s Club yesterday and spent way too much money - Jim was with me which is always a big mistake but at least he can&#39;t complain about the bill as he was the one that &quot;had to have&quot; a lot of the stuff we bought.  <br /><br />Joey - you are 100% correct.  I bulk shop and buy things all at once so of course they run out all at once.  I just need to alter the cycle of my purchases somehow.  <br /><br />Ed - It won&#39;t be long before you are boarding that bus.  Glad Roe is doing better and hope she is completely better by the time you leave.  Get packing&#33;&#33;&#33;  Crazie should hopefully show up sometime today.  If you want to just turn crazie over to Carmen you can send the photo album and travel log back to me under seperate cover and I can fill them in.  It is up to you.   I must admit it is quite a visual of you going through customs bright and early in the morning carrying your teddy.  <br /><br />Steve - Glad they are going to let you heal a bit before another surgery but don&#39;t let it interfere with your upcoming cruise.   Hope you are feeling better today.<br /><br />Cheryl - busy, busy, busy - that&#39;s you.   I&#39;m sure your room will be beautiful when it is finished.  How did the bathroom come out?  <br /><br />Carmen - sounds like you have a great cruise planned for Crazie.   She is really traveling in VIP circles now. I just hope all the &quot;hand-overs&quot; go well.  Hmmmm a passport for Crazie - I just might have to think that one over.<br /><br />Jenn - tonsil clutter - now that&#39;s a new one.  What do they do for that?  <br /><br />Rose - wouldn&#39;t it be wonderful if our grown kids still listened to us.  All we can do it hope they don&#39;t get hurt with the choices they make - just like our parents did with us.<br /><br />Jackie - back to the old routine for you today.  Hope you enjoyed your long weekend.  The RV show sounds like fun but quite tiring.  <br /><br />Tonia - Sounds like there is some good cookin going on in your house.   How is your wrist now that you are back to work?   Is it getting stronger now that you are using it more?<br /><br />Sue - Hope Pappy gets out and does his business and gets back inside quickly.  Much too cold out there for man or beast.  <br /><br />Maria - how did the Prom shopping go yesterday?  Brings back fun memories of doing that with not one but two teens last year.   Now that was a trip&#33;&#33;  Hope your granddaughter found the perfect gown.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - sounds like you had a nice Anniversary - wishing you many many more.<br /><br />Shari - hope you are doing OK and feeling better.<br /><br />Carmen (M) - how is DH doing after his accident?  Hope you are both well.<br /><br />Time to get my day started.....Please everyone.....stay warm and safe.  <br /><br />Make today special and SMILE
