Another wet noisy night here - seems like Bill is stalled way off the coast and in no rush to go anywhere.    Baseball game last night was a washout so we just went out for some dinner and had a quiet night at home.   More heavy rains due for the weekend but as long as the power stays on I&#39;ll just keep busy indoors.   We lost power twice yesterday but only for very brief periods.<br /><br />Robert - You are a true friend and I am happy to count you as one of my friends.    God bless you.<br /><br />Falina - still keeping fingers crossed that the bank comes through for you.   Glad you got that house payment made.<br /><br />Ron - So happy to see you posting.   You sure did make something good come of a bad situation.   I look forward to getting to know you better here.   Any questions about any of us - just ask.<br /><br />Ed - Sorry about the knee acting up.  Hope it is better today.    Glad the trip went well and you had a nice day out.<br /><br />Steve - we are missing you.   Hope all is well with all of you.   I know you are very busy.<br /><br />Jim - I must agree with the others, you need a little time to yourself.   Hope you can find some time this weekend.<br /><br />Jackie - I know Candace has a hard decision ahead of her.   One suggestion if I may.   When I was faced with a similar problem Jim was very much against me returning to the work force.    That is when I opened my own day care center in my home.   A bit of red tape but you set your own rules, spend all your time with your own child and help out some other Mom facing the problem of going back to work.   You can take as many or as few children as you like.    That is how Heather &amp; Caitlin came into our lives and became part of our family.    <br /><br />Jenn - you have been pretty quiet lately.   I hope all is going well with you.   How is the CPAP working out?<br /><br />Martha - so sorry to hear that Lee&#39;s Dad isn&#39;t doing too well.   It&#39;s so hard to be away from family when there are problems like this.   I&#39;m sure Lee feels very helpless.  <br /><br />Sheri - how are you feeling?   Hope you are doing better day by day and your surgery will soon be a distant menory.<br /><br />Linda - stay safe with Bill heading up the coast.    <br /><br />James - not too many more packing weekends ahead of you.   Then the fun begins - un packing.   <br /><br />Donna - Hoping for a good report from your surgeon yesterday.    Is everyone OK?<br /><br />Time to get a few things done and start my day.   I&#39;ll check back later on.   In the meantime have a great day<br /><br /><br />
