Hi Everyone...<br /><br />Just having a quiet night at home.  I won&#39;t be making it to church, and dinner out with friends tonight, because of a bad sore throat, and slight cough.  Don&#39;t want to pass it around...people have enough troubles of their own, for sure.  Looks like our beautiful weather is in for a change.  We had thunderstorms last night, and rain today...we are starting to warm up, and so is the humidity.  We are in a tornado watch tonight.  Feels more like summer now.<br /><br />Mary Lou...Christmas shopping in August?  I always say I should start earlier, but not sure I would be in the Christmas spirit in the summer.  LOL  Besides, if I shopped too early I would have time to change my mind and end up taking things back at the last minute.  LOL  Little Mckenna is doing well...she&#39;s a really good baby, so far.  She will be Baptized next Saturday.<br /><br />Jim...glad your mom had a good day.  Hope all goes well with making your decisions on long term care.  I know how hard it is.  I took care of my mom, also.<br /><br />Shaunna...great work on the camera system...I wouldn&#39;t have a clue.<br /><br />Andrea...I&#39;m so sorry about Jerry&#39;s friend; but so glad the surgery went well and he will be alright.<br /><br />Carmen...I&#39;m so sorry about all the lay-offs at work...that has to be so hard for everyone, even the ones left there.  I worked with a company when they were laying a lot of people off, and it was sooo hard on everyone.  Wow...are those all your cars&#33;?<br /><br />James...hope you get everything worked out with immigration.  <br /><br />Donna...the Italian chicken and rice sounds really good.  Hope the work on the basement goes well.<br /><br />Rose...hope your back is better soon.  You need to feel good for your cruise&#33;<br /><br />Steve...glad gramps is hearing better now.<br /><br />Kevin...wish we had some mountains here...I love them...used to drive through that way on the way to California all the time in the late &#39;60s and early &#39;70s.  We do have some beautiful lakes and forests here in MN.<br /><br />Debbie...enjoy your time with your brother and family this weekend.<br /><br />Martha...hope you can adjust to the new hours.  Glad the shopping went well.  <br /><br />Falina...be sure that you have some fun at the party&#33;<br /><br />Ed...love the picture of your restaurant in Venice.  It looks so elegant.  I would sooo love to go to Venice someday.<br /><br />Tonia...I always love to hear what you&#39;re cooking up.  It sound sooo good.  So glad you BP is doing well.  I am keeping you in my prayers for good health and a good job.
