Afrternoon all&#33; Hope everyone has had a great day. I&#39;m checking in late today as I spent most of the day cleaning the carpet in our room. Had to go over it twice. Still have the family room carpet to do for tomorrow but that should be much easier as it&#39;s Berber carpet. Happy that we have less carpet then we used to. <br />

I spent a lot of time yesterday on the computer hunting down shore excursions and hotels for our next 2 cruises. I finally found a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale for December 29 that wasn&#39;t &#036;200 a night. The hotels are charging around &#036;100 more per night than they are in November. <br />

Maria so glad to hear your surgery went well. Now get some rest and keep off that leg, you&#39;ll learn to use the crutches in time.  Take the pain meds too&#33; Hope Ken is taking good care of you. Prayers to you for a quick recovery. <br />
<br />
Marylou so glad you got some fall color on your trip to Wilkes Barre. Congrats to Jim on the withdrawal from the casino&#33; How nice that he bought you a lobster dinner&#33; Hope you enjoy your rest and that your appointment for Jim&#39;s CPAP goes well.<br />
<br />
Cheryl hope you had good luck at DSW.<br />
<br />
Jackie drive safely. It will be so strange for you to be back &quot;home&quot; again.  Hope everything in the house is good when you get there. I think I&#39;d be worried if I was gone that long. <br />
<br />
Well, off to rest as I&#39;m really tired from moving the furniture and the cleaning. My rug does look wonderful at least. Hope you all have a great evening.
