Good morning Crazies.  The temps are up in the 40&#39;s so I am going to venture out today.  The main problem is that it is very windy (blowing up to 70 mph in the foothills where I live and up to 100 mph in the high country)  The snow is blowing back on the road but I really need to get to Kohl&#39;s sale and to the grocery store and post office.  The mountains are under extreme avalanche warnings because of the high winds - hope it calms down as this is the biggest ski weekend of the season.  Greg has a 3 day weekend.  I mentioned DirectBuy in my post yesterday - Greg and I have an appt. a week from tomorrow to go to a seminar and tour the warehouse.  The lady that called said you buy directly from the manufacturers and should save about 50%, so we will see if it pans out.  Greg has been adamant about not painting all the wood white but I really want it painted - if it were white, I would love to go with a dark cherrywood floor.  I have been surfing the net trying to find a kitchen the way I want mine done - I think if he sees it, he will agree.  I can see the vision in my head, but he can&#39;t.  Maria, was so happy to read that the surgery is over - we will be looking forward to your return - hope you know we all love you here.  Cheryl, I certainly hope that Home Depot does right by you and Wayne after all the aggrevation you had to go thru - keep us posted.<br />
Joey, good luck with the retirement board.  I wish Greg was ready to retire (well, I say that but after he was home for a week sick a few weeks back, I was more than ready for him to go back to work).   Robert, I too would like to see pics of your new wheels.  Enjoy them.  Mary Lou, Keith and Rita, Mercedes, Howard, Kareen and anyone else I missed - hope you have a wonderful weekend.  TGIF
