Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />Went to the grocery store today and thought it was the middle of January.  It only reached a high of 12 above, and we had winds of around 20 MPH.  So glad I wore a hat and gloves. Yikes&#33;  It may snow tomorrow and warm up to a high of 20, but it&#39;s supposed to drop to 5 degrees above at night, and I&#39;m going to a movie with a friend tomorrow evening.  I&#39;m getting to be a wimp in my old age.  I hate to go out in the cold weather.  LOL  If that were the case, though, I would be in all winter.  LOL  Wish we could afford a winter home in Florida and come back here in the Spring and Summer.   Think I would miss my family though. <br /><br />Mary Lou...one good thing when they cut the hair too short...it does grows back, just takes awhile sometimes.    You&#39;ll probably like it for the Panama Canal cruise...it should be hot there.  Hope you have a wonderful cruise.  Thanks for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Carmen...hope everything is going well at work, and your back is doing well.  Thanks for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Chris...hump day is Wednesday...the middle of the work week...it means we have made it half way through.  Hope Kath is doing well with her diet.  I need to do that, too, but don&#39;t think I could do the liquid one.<br /><br />Steve...hope all goes well with the colonoscopy.  I only had one, about 5 years ago, and I was awake.  Only had a mild tranquilizer.  I didn&#39;t know that they give you general anesthesia today.  Had an endoscopy the same day...down one end and up the other.  LOL<br /><br />Rose...know you are tired out from all the shopping, but isn&#39;t it a good feeling to be almost done?  I have yet to get started.  I hope our weather holds up.  Thank you for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Falina...that&#39;s so great that all your animals are getting along...and leaving the tree alone.  When my kitties were younger they liked to bat at the ornaments.  Now they just like to lay under the tree.  Makes it hard to put presents there, though.  lol  Thank you for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Shaunna...glad your reflux is better.  I do that, too, I feel better and then don&#39;t take the meds and have troubles again.<br /><br />Keith...I&#39;m so sorry to hear about Rita&#39;s fall.  It is good that she didn&#39;t break anything.  Hope she is feeling better real soon.  Thanks for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />James...hope all works out for the house.<br /><br />Jackie...thanks for that info on the gift cards.  I see them at lots of stores this year and was thinking of getting a few of them,  Now I will check into things before I buy...if I buy.  I forgot about that show...&quot;Secret Millionaire.&quot;  I did want to check it out.  Thanks for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Debbie...hope they can get you something that helps your feet.  Hope you can talk DH into that cruise.  Thanks for the good wishes for Marc.<br /><br />Sue...hope you find a nice tree.  Congratulations on the computer&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...hope you had a nice day with Scotty.  It&#39;s always nice to be inside when the weather is cold or snowing.  So sorry about that virus.  It sounds like it was a bad one.    That&#39;s so nice of you and Greg to help with Operation Christmas Child.  I haven&#39;t heard of that one, but we do help out with one from church and we support a child every month in another program  It&#39;s a great feeling to be able to help... even though we can&#39;t help everyone, we can help some.<br /><br />Jen...I was wondering what those inflatables were, and I just saw one today.  Someone had one in their front yard, and it had a santa and reindeer (I think) in it.  Kind of neat&#33;<br /><br />Hi to all our Cruise Crazies&#33;  Stay warm&#33;<br />Have a great day&#33;
