Hello everyone one.<br /><br />What a gorgeous day today - really warm and sunny - feels like spring&#33; Not long now .....<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b319/hazelson/weather/playdirta.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /><br /><br /><b>Maria</b> - good to see you are recovery so nicely ...... but then we knew you would&#33; :o)<br /><br /><b>Carmen</b> - like the others have said - that hysterectomy can be a real blessing - I know mine was&#33;  I was only 33 but well finished with &quot;child bearing&quot; LOL.<br /><br /><b>Steve</b> - can&#39;t wait to see you all decked out in your &quot;old geezer&quot; duds - we will need a photo&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Dh wears the same kind of hat - got his ears badly sunburned on a cruise so thought a hat might be just the thing.  He&#39;s got a couple but his favourite is the one that matches his city camos&#33;<br /><br /><b>ED</b> - looks like you can actually get into &quot;hot water&quot; even with Roe away LOL.  It was sure nice meeting the two of you :o)  we will have to do it again&#33;<br /><br /><br /><b>JOEY</b> - hope you are feeling better.  February is a hard one for us as well - losing our daughter Courtney and Hugh&#39;s dad on the same day, and my parents wedding anniversary on the 16th.  But you do what you have to to cope - we try laughter....though others think we are a bit daft :o)<br /><br /><br /><b>Tonia</b> - I don&#39;t sleep well either - it&#39;s the sign of superior intelligence&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />   I always reach for the Tylenol PM - works great for me - better than prescription sleeping meds for me......then there is always that old standby - SEX  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br />Marriage - ok - all together it will be 32 years for me - 12 with Dh #2 - but he is #1 in all things&#33;  We are best friends and he is truly the most thoughtful person&#33;   Just an example - we saw the show &quot;Hats&quot; in Vegas.  I wanted to get a t-shirt but the shop was closed when we exited the show room.  So we treked down to the other shop in Harrah&#39;s but no luck.  Hugh went to the front desk to see what he could do.  As he always does he uses the &quot;attract more flies with honey&quot; principle.  He talked to the young woman at the desk for at least half an hour as she tried to contact someone to get me the shirt.  I would have given up but he didn&#39;t.  Long story short - I got the shirt and the hotel gave it to us free for our patience :o)  The little things are what is important in a good marriage - and lots of hugging, kissing and holding of hands.<br /><br /><b>How to tell if you are happily married - ask yourself this question ..... &quot;If you won the lottery tomorrow would you stay together.&quot;</b><br /><br />Well - off to games ... stay warm, stay dry, stay safe&#33;
