I&#39;ll be heading out early this AM just to get out for awhile and then will fine busy work to amuse myself indoors for the rest of the day.   Deb is going to go to battle today with her Pediatrician and the almighty Insurance Company  to find a new Dr. for Ashleigh - she is rightfully furious with the current one - trouble is there are very few Pediatric Cardiologists in the Lehigh Valley.  <br /><br />Carmen &reg; so happy to see you back on the Dock.  We were about to send out the Cruise Crazies Posse looking for you.   Glad you are keeping busy and enjoying your new car.  How are all your little bumps and bruises?<br /><br />Rat - sorry you are still under the weather.  Get well soon.<br /><br />Ed - Glad your meeting went well and your group is excited.   I&#39;m sure they will be at the bus stop bright and early.   I will try and dig up those trivia questions for you today.  How is Roe feeling today?<br /><br />Steve - glad the Dr. is waiting awhile for your surgery - just as long as it doesn&#39;t interfere with your cruise. <br />You are so luck having an &quot;in&quot; with your Drs.  - sure wish we had one here.  <br /><br />Sue - glad you got to go out with your friends and have some fun.   Hope all went well with your hearing test.  My oldest granddaughter Paige has been having hearing problems and will be having tubes put in her ears in a couple of week.  They have done it before but they keep coming out - these are some new type of more permanent ones.<br /><br />Tonia - it won&#39;t be long now til you are back on your graveyard shift.   I guess you keep pretty busy during the nighttime hours at AAA.   <br /><br />Cheryl - how did that project come out.  We&#39;d love to see pictures.   Has Scotty lost any more teeth - they usually come out a couple at a time.   Ashleigh is still wiggling away at her one loose one but still has a ways to go. <br /><br />Robin - love those lanyards.   Sounds like you have a great group together for your cruise.   Have you sailed on the Voyager before.   If this is your first time - don&#39;t miss the Ice Show.<br /><br />Jenn - you find the greatest things to post here.   Where is the world do you find them?    How did your Little like her cruise?  I&#39;m sure she had lots to tell you.<br /><br />Carmen (M) - hope you get a definative answer from your Dr. as to when your surgery will be.   They sure take their time - don&#39;t they.<br /><br />Jackie - sounds like you are keeping busy - how is Gucci handling you being gone all day?  Has she gotten used to it yet?  <br /><br />Rose - I had to laugh at you having &quot;soup&quot; weather in Florida.  Your soup weather is our BBQ weather.   <br />Actually, Heather &amp; Cait are not our granddaughters - they are not related to us at all (except through love) They were my last 2 babies when I had my day-care in Staten Island.   After they didn&#39;t need day care anymore they somehow managed to show up at our house with a homework problem or a fight with big brother just about the time we sat down to dinner several nights a week  and have been part of our extended family ever since.   Their Dad left when they were 5 and Mom played &quot;poor me&quot; for a lot of years and we just became a safe quiet place for them to spend time. <br /><br />Shari - hope you are taking it easy and relaxing.   It&#39;s good hearing from you again.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   I thought I would &quot;allow&quot; him to take me out to dinner tonight but looks like the weather may put a crimp in those plans.   He has a whole pile of restaurant gift cards from his birthday last year and some of them expire in one year meaning we only have a couple more weeks to do some fancy dining.     <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.   I&#39;ll be back later on to see how everyone is doing.
