Morning everyone&#33; Hope everyone had a great weekend. Busy one here but things are coming together. One of my migraines knocked me out last night but I&#39;m much better this morning so I&#39;m off and running again. Have to hit the mall for a gift card and then a few more stores as well as the supermarket. Have to leave the kids the staples so they don&#39;t starve or eat only fast food while we&#39;re gone.<br /><br />Maria that sounds like a terrific house. One of the reasons we moved to Fl. was the taxes in NY, they were killing us&#33; They doubled over the 6 years we owned our home. Glad to hear your sleep pattern is returning to normal. I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll miss your real tree but everyone will survive for 1 year. It&#39;s hard to go away at the holidays.<br /><br />Sue, can&#39;t blame pappy for not liking the snow. It looks good but is way too cold and a pain to shovel&#33; LOL<br /><br />Jenn so happy to hear you had a great day with your mom and aunt. I know your mom is difficult sometimes but good days are really worth it.<br /><br />Marylou you must be exhausted already&#33; Glad you had a good time with your company, it&#39;s always wonderful to see dear friends. Hope you have good luck finding an outfit for the party. I would definately book a winter cruise to wear the new clothes again, it would be a shame to just let them hang in the closet&#33; <br /><br />Keith glad your getting some rest at work at least. Sorry you had to venture out on Black Friday with your granddaughters but think of the memories..........since you&#39;ll never do it again of course. What an interesting piece of art&#33; Definately a conversation piece.<br /><br />Jackie and Tony have a great trip home. So glad to hear you loved your trip.<br /><br />Joey nice to see you stop in on the dock.<br /><br />Cheryl hope your tree is all done. I can&#39;t wait to see the pictures.<br /><br />Well all off I go to run my errands. I&#39;ll check back in later. Hope everyone has a great day&#33;
