Afternoon all, hope everyone is having a good day. Spent some time this morning remembering 9/11 and all the people who were lost. My old friend lost her brother that day. Ran most of my errands this morning just before the thunderstorms started. Skipped Lowes but I&#39;ll get there eventually. Not much else doing here. I am done unpacking and shall start to repack for my mother/daughter cruise. I don&#39;t get to see much of her these days and I really miss her so I&#39;m looking forward to some &quot;Girl&quot; time in a few weeks. Tomorrow we officially become empty nesters when I move the last of my son&#39;s stuff out and then the clean up and fumigating will begin&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; LOL These are not the clean kids I raised......<br /><br />Fingers still crossed Robert.  Happy Anniversary to you and Annie&#33; Hope you get this mess figured out soon. Jackie is right a cat 3 is nothing to fool with. When Katrina went through south Florida we were in Ft. Lauderdale at a hotel with no power, not a fun experience. I will tell you that one of the first things to get power is the port in our state. Hope you have the same experience. Depending on how far your drive is maybe you can get closer to Galveston........<br /><br />Steve glad everyone treats your Dad well, he deserves it&#33; Nice picture&#33;<br /><br />Falina hope your day goes smoothly.<br /><br />Ed glad to hear Green Valley Ranch still exists......they had a show on TV a few years back and I really liked it......of course it was cancelled. Glad Roe found exactly what she wanted and liked.<br /><br />Jenn nice goodies from ebay&#33; I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll enjoy all of it.<br /><br />Marylou glad to hear TJ is healing up already. Hope pre-school goes well today. Ready for the walk yet? My parents are doing well, thanks for asking. Cynthia and I are both looking forward to spending time together in a few weeks.  Pot pie........definately not a favorite for me either&#33; We used to eat those cheap nasty ones as kids. YUCK&#33;<br /><br />Welcome to the Dock Martha&#33; Glad you found your way over as we love to meet new people. <br /><br />(((Andrea))) hope today is a good one&#33; OOps on the missed appointment, don&#39;t worry I never know what day it is.......even after I&#39;ve asked already&#33;<br /><br />Nice flag Deb&#33; <br /><br />Wow Jackie looks like you&#39;ve got a heck of a week planned. Hope it all goes smoothly for your niece and you DD&#39;s travels.<br /><br />Cheryl I&#39;m still here........it&#39;s taking me just as long to get through the dock as you. Can you tell me who killed the pimp on AMC? I just don&#39;t have time or patience to go backwards at this point.......Now if we could only get rid of Annie&#33; I&#39;m over it already&#33;  But there is another kookie returning character coming........in a few weeks.<br /><br />Hi Carmen. Glad you dropped in. I forgot we share the same birthday......I&#39;ll be boarding the Sovereign for the last time on that day. I&#39;ll raise a toast to both of us&#33;<br /><br />Wow took a long time to get through the dock today&#33; Hope everyone has a great day&#33;
