Hi to Cruise Crazies,<br />
<br />
I have so enjoyed reading all of these posts since the first of July and getting to know the names of all of you.  I am excited to start posting.  I have just joined and hope not to just be a lurker (I promise Joey).  <br />
<br />
Joey:  I think you do such a great job being such a caring person to <br />
          everyone on this board.<br />
<br />
Zebra:  We have something in common.  I too love to scrapbook.  I took<br />
           it up about four years ago.<br />
<br />
Marylou:  What you and your family do for the children at the hospital is just<br />
             fabulous.  My granddaughter was born premature weighing in at <br />
             only three pounds.  We were so grateful to everyone at the<br />
             hospital for saving both her and my daughter.<br />
<br />
Keith &amp; Rita:  Your dance signature is absolutely stunning&#33;<br />
<br />
Mary &amp; Andre:  You have been working SO HARD during this heat.  Please <br />
               keep yourselves hydrated.<br />
<br />
Matchstickxx:  Please send your temperature of 83 degrees this way.<br />
<br />
I live in Henderson, NV.  It is 8 miles outside of Las Vegas.  We too have been having a terrible time with the heat.  It has been upwards of 115 and for us humidity of 20 to 25% is a lot.  Enough about heat.<br />
<br />
September 2nd I will leave for a cruise to Alaska on HAL Oosterdam.  Now there will be some cool weather 45 to 55 degrees.  What a change.  Look forward to talking with everyone on this board.  Have a great evening and everyone stay cool.
