TUESDAY - July 17th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies - Today marks the 1 month mark til we cruise on the Explorer.  We booked this cruise 16 months ago so it really seems like forever.  It is also the longest we have gone in between cruises - 11 months since the last one.  I&#39;ll have to be sure that doesn&#39;t happen again.  LOL<br />
<br />
Joey - OK we give up - where are you hiding?  Seriously, we have missed you the last couple of days.  Please let us know you are OK or we will have to send out the MCCP ( Missing Cruise Crazies Posse)<br />
<br />
Cheryl - I hope you enjoyed your peaceful day yesterday.  We all need one of those every now and then. especially after having house guests for  a week.  No matter how much you love them it is a strain, both physically and emotionally.  Yes, Ash starts Kindergarten in late August - bus picks her up at 7:20 AM for full day K - seems like an awfully long day for such a little one but I&#39;m sure she will be fine.  She is so excited - she even has her own count-down clock for school.  Let&#39;s hope she feels this way after school starts.  My oldest granddaughter Paige loved the first day of school then threw a tantrum on day 2.  Noone told her this was an everyday occurrence.  She seemed to think it was a one day deal, kind of like going to the circus or a birthday party.  Kids&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Will Scotty be going to full day or half-day K?<br />
<br />
Rose - I completely sympathize with you over the freezer - hope you did not lose too many things.  When our fridge went down I couldn&#39;t even cook the defrosting things because I had to where to put the cooked food.  Glad you got a new one so fast though.  <br />
<br />
Keith &amp; Rita - good luck with the open houses over the next couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Mercedes - it&#39;s great seeing you back on the boards after your trip.  <br />
<br />
Maria - how is the dog doing on the new meds?  Sure hope they are helping.<br />
<br />
Shar - have a wonderful time in Niagra Falls.  <br />
<br />
Tonia - the end of your project is in sight - hang in there.  <br />
<br />
Time to get Jim up and moving.  Today will be my last day to myself before Deb&#39;s surgery so I plan on making the most of it.  Make today special and don&#39;t forget to  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />
