Thank you again for all your good wishes yesterday.   Jim &amp; I had a nice day - mostly quiet as Deb was traveling for work and we had the kids til after their dinner time.   After they left we had a nice dinner of crab legs and sat out on the deck for a while.   Will go out to dinner over the weekend to celebrate in style.<br /><br />Cheryl - I&#39;m glad you had such a nice visit with your friends and even though you will be sorry to see them leave you can begin to plan a spring visit to them.   Their lake side home sounds like a great spot for a mini vacation.   <br /><br />Jenn  - You mean CRS is only supposed to last 5 or 6 years?   I think I&#39;m in trouble.    How is your hand and arm doing?<br /><br />Shaunna - I am completely lost when it comes to these fancy phones but it sounds like you have yours down just fine.   My son sent me a photo of my grandson on my cell and I had to call him to find out how to see the picture - then I somehow erased it.   Our son is right - Jim &amp; I are extremely &quot;electronically challenged&quot;<br /><br />Deb - your camping trip sounds like fun.    A girls only weekend sounds great no matter where it takes place.<br /><br />Kevin - how did your son make out at the ortho yesterday?  I hope all went well.<br /><br />Falina - You are so right - sometimes a smile goes a long long way.   At other times, it completely confuses everyone.   lol<br /><br />Sue - I&#39;m happy you had a nice day yesterday.    Is Pappy glad to be back home?<br /><br />Andrea - hope the rains stop soon.   You had a very close call with that tree at your parents house.   Please be careful.<br /><br />Tonia - how is the voice?    Hope you are feeling better.   <br /><br />Steve - I&#39;m glad Lynda didn&#39;t pack your work clothes away.    Retiring at 65 doesn&#39;t sound like a bad idea at all - you would definately have more time for cruising.<br /><br />Ed - hope all is OK - we are missing you here.   Please stop by to say hi.<br /><br />Robert - hurricane roulette sounds like a good name.    Things are really stirring up in the Atlantic right now.<br /><br />Howard - your last week at that hospital is nearly over.   Hope you are taking it a bit easy but I&#39;m sure you aren&#39;t    <br /><br />Joey, Rose, Jackie - hope you are having great cruises and enjoying every minute of your trips.  You are certainly missed here.<br /><br />Maria, Carmen - we are missing you on the dock.   Please stop by and let us know you are OK.<br /><br />Time to start some laundry and get my day organized.   I think I&#39;d better begin to work on a design for our shirts for the Heart Walk - I&#39;m running out of time.      I&#39;m 3/4 way to my goal but still have lots of paper work to do and tons of thank you cards to send out.<br /><br />Make today special and enjoy life.
