Hi Everyone,<br /><br />It was a crazy day today.  Lots of things going on...some very unexpected things in the neighborhood, but probably better not to talk about it.  Hope everyone is staying cool from the heat wave and safe from all the storms.  We had a nice day today, but may have some severe weather tomorrow.  I&#39;m starting to think about our cruise this October.  It will be so great to be out on the ocean again.  It&#39;s been a few years.  I&#39;m sooo looking forward to it.  We will be meeting up with some friends, also.  <br /><br />Jackie...sorry to hear about the tire blow out.  So glad you are OK and back on the road again.  Drive safely.<br /><br />Mary Lou...congratulations to little Ashleigh on her graduation from kindergarten.  Sounds like it was a fun day for her...even getting a visit from the tooth fairy.  Stay cool in that heat&#33;<br /><br />Joey...love your new picture.  Good luck with your decision to be a foster parent.  I know it&#39;s a big decision.<br /><br />Steve...I would have loved to hear your church member&#39;s niece sing the &quot;Ave Maria.&quot;  It&#39;s one of my favorite songs.  Good luck with the dog sitting.   <br /><br />Sue...hope your therapy went well.  Sorry about your mom&#39;s car. <br /><br />Tonia...glad your car is running good again. <br /><br />Rose...thanks for the well wishes.   Glad you had a nice time at the wedding.  I love to go to weddings.  Don&#39;t know what it is except maybe I just enjoy seeing everyone so happy and getting to visit with the people.  Looks like the Richie story is heating up again.  JR to the rescue.  Don&#39;t know what Babe was thinking of by playing a hooker.  I can&#39;t wait, either, for Zach and JR to find out that it was Ritchie who stole JR&#39;s car that night.   Good luck with your kitchen remodeling.  <br /><br />Hi Keith and Rita...Keith when is your cataract surgery?<br /><br />Ed and Roe...welcome back...glad you enjoyed the wedding and had a safe trip.<br /><br />Andrea...I will keep your dad in my prayers.  So glad no one was hurt in the fire.  So very sad that they lost their home.  Another &quot;Peanuts&quot; fan here.  Charles Schultz was very popular here in MN.  He was from MN.<br /><br />Debbie and Jerry...I used to have duplexes...I know what you mean.<br /><br />Cheryl...sorry about the speeding ticket...they sure get enough money for them...  It&#39;s so nice that your friends will be able to come and spend some time with you.  <br /><br />Debbie...hope all goes well with your liver test.  I will say a prayer for you.<br /><br />Jen...glad you got Ashley&#39;s phone number.  It will be so great to keep in touch with her.  Happy Birthday to your son&#33;<br /><br />Hi Maria...hope all is well.<br /><br />Carmen...so sorry to hear about your step dad and uncle.  I will keep them in my prayers.  Hope you will have a wonderful time on your European cruise.<br /><br />Rat...glad you had a nice time at the symphony.  It sounds wonderful&#33;<br /><br />Hope all Cruise Crazies have a wonderful day&#33;
