THURSDAY - September 13th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies - it is a bit nippy here this AM  only in the low 40&#39;s right now and pitch dark outside at 6AM.   I guess summer is definately on the way out and fall is heading our way.  <br />
<br />
Thanks you all of your kind wishes for Ashleigh.  She is quite the little trouper and made out fine in school and was the center of attention in class (her favorite place to be.)  She got very upset when the teacher told her she should sit through recess in the playground but Deb will send a note today that she can play.  Of course for being so brave we gave her 2 of her birthday gifts so today I&#39;ll  start all over and shop for her birthday on the 26th.  <br />
<br />
Tonia - 72 stitches OUCH&#33;   They would have definately been picking both Deb &amp; I up off the floor with that.   4 was more than enough.  <br />
<br />
Cheryl - looks like you will be having lots and lots of cookie &amp; milk parties at your house.  You are such a good Grandma.  I sometimes think the schools count on people spending money by offering these bonuses to the kids.  No one wants to be left out and I know we would do the same thing as you did to not hurt the little ones - they do have an awful lot of nerve though.  <br />
<br />
Robert - hope you are out of the way of Humberto - not quite sure where in Texas you are but I hear Texas is a pretty big place. (LOL)  I hope you are all away from danger.  Please stay safe.<br />
<br />
Rose - glad things are progressing on the big move.  You will need a cruise once that is over and everything is all set up.  <br />
<br />
Carmen - We miss you here at the Dock.   Please stop by and say Hi when you have a chance.<br />
<br />
Maria - How is the new puppy getting along?  I&#39;m sure he/she will be great company for you.<br />
<br />
Jackie - So glad that you are enjoying Osage Beach.  It sounds like a beautiful place.<br />
<br />
Sue - You mentioned in a previous post that you are deaf.  My granddaughter is in Kindergarten and along with the ABC&#39;s and 123&#39;s her teacher puts a lot of emphasis on American Sign Language.  She absolutely amazed us last night by showing us her homework.  After only 2 1/2 weeks of school she had to sing and sign &quot;God Bless America&quot; and did a great job.  I think it is a wonderful thing for them to learn.  <br />
<br />
Well time to start my day and get Jim up and moving.  Make today special and share a smile.
