MONDAY - September 24th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies.  Getting a very slow start this morning.   I vaguely heard Jim&#39;s alarm go off at 5:30 but went right back to sleep.  Guess I needed to catch up on my sleep after the weekend.  I must be getting old - I used to be able to party all night.  Had a great brunch yesterday and some more catching up with my girlfriend and a lot of &quot;remember the night&quot; stories.  The wedding was so pretty - outside under the grape arbors at a winery and naturally some great wines.  They had so much food at the 1 1/2 hour cocktail hour that a lot of people thought that was the reception and left no room for the delicious dinner that followed.  I have always thought that a nice cocktail hour followed by cake would be a lovely reception and from the looks of the unfinished plates after dinner I think it would have been a wonderful idea.  The food was so good though - much better than the usual mass market reception food.<br />
<br />
Jenn - so sorry to hear about your birds.  Did you find a home for them yet?  It&#39;s strange that you never realized they were part of your problem until you went away for a week.  <br />
<br />
Rose - I&#39;m sure your Mom &amp; Dad will be enjoying your home cooked meals all week long.  You are a great daughter and so thoughtful.   Sorry your Mom is still having so much discomfort.  Hopefully each day will get a little better.<br />
<br />
Tonia - How are you managing with that nice bright pink cast.  I do think it will help set you apart when you are leading a group on tours.  I can just see this bright pink cast waving in the air leading the way.  LOL<br />
<br />
Sue - Guess you will need a jacket taking Pappy out in the morning now.  It is cool here also in the AM but warms up nicely during the day.<br />
<br />
Jackie - sorry you are in for a few rainy days but I&#39;m sure you will find something interesting to do as you make your way back home.<br />
<br />
Robert - glad the shower went so well.   Baby things are so cute.  Do you know if it is a boy or girl yet?<br />
Well make today special and share a smile.
