Good afternoon, Cruise Crazies&#33;<br /><br />We had some tornadic activity across Minnesota last night, but we are safe here.  I&#39;m not sure yet of damages elsewhere.  I need to check the news.  I think there was only one touchdown.  The weather now is beautiful.  It&#39;s a nice sunny day, and should be good for the next three days or so and then it&#39;ll heat up and more thunderstorms. <br /><br />Mary Lou...glad you liked the pictures.  It was my first time to Tucson...it&#39;s so pretty there.  Also, first time to the timeshare.  It&#39;s nice and peaceful there.  I loved your story about your Jersey Beach home.  Have a great trip and time with your family.<br /><br />Andrea...loved your story of your Basset Hound...  he sounds really cute.  My &quot;attack kitty&quot; is actually a big sweetie.  LOL<br /><br />Joey...glad you liked the pictures...good luck with your child proofing.  We have to do that when our youngest grandkids come over.  Joey and Mary Lou...we had some new friends over in a group once a couple of years back, and one couple&#39;s daughter went through just about every drawer and room in our house, and her mom just sat there and did and said nothing.  I couldn&#39;t believe it.  <br /><br />Deb...welcome back...sorry your vacation started out badly.  I&#39;m so glad you did have some fun.  Glad your tooth is better.<br /><br />Sue...have fun on your camping trip.<br /><br />Kevin...we can only use the timeshare once a year, but we have two weeks in June which are great weeks.  This was the first time we have ever been up there.  This was Marc&#39;s parent&#39;s timeshare, and when they passed away recently we bought the two weeks and one of Marc&#39;s sisters bought the third week which is in August.  We may be selling it...not sure yet.  We are not happy with how they have kept it up, but they say they are going to be doing major repairs soon, so we&#39;ll see.<br /><br />Rose...thanks for the good wishes.  Hope you feel better in time for your flight and the wedding.  Take care of yourself.  AMC...you&#39;re right...it seems like Annie keeps getting in deeper and deeper.  Now she&#39;s accused Zack.  I&#39;ve been wondering if she&#39;s going to be off the show.<br /><br />Steve...Heidi sounds like a great dog.  Before I met Marc, he used to have Basingi&#39;s (sp).  He used to show them.  They are great dogs if you know how to train them.   They&#39;re very smart and strong.  His dog, &quot;Lady&quot; also would &quot;talk&quot; to him.  My &quot;attack kitty&quot; is really a sweet and loving kitty-cat.  I couldn&#39;t believe it when he growled.  LOL<br /><br />Falina...I&#39;m sooo sorry to hear about your uncle.  I will keep him in my prayers.  Glad your little kitty is doing so well.  They are soooo cute when they&#39;re little.<br /><br />Jackie...your job is definitly not sounding like a retirement job.  &quot;Lifting furniture&quot;...Yikes&#33;&#33;&#33;  I couldn&#39;t do that.  Take care.<br /><br />Ed and Roe...have a wonderful trip to Sedona&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...Minneapolis will be hosting the Republican convention.   I&#39;m sure it will be extra traffic and all around here.  That&#39;s exciting news about your son.  Hope she says, Yes&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
