Good afternoon Crazies.  Well, hubby made it home from New York City about 9:30 last night and left today for a 3 day atv/camping trip to the sand dunes with his friends.  Seems like I barely had time to kiss him hello and then goodbye again.  Mary Lou, my lasik surgery is a week from today, the 23rd.  I am in the phase where I cannot put my contacts in so have to wear my glasses and I don&#39;t see well with them.  As I sit here typing this, I have my specs on and then a pair of reading glasses over them.  I told Scotty he could come spend the weeknd with Grandma Noni - he always thinks that is a treat and it will keep me from getting lonely.  Maria, a big congrats to you and Ken on your 43rd anniversary - quite an accomplishment in this day and age.  We will be having our 31st this summer - we only dated a yr. and a half before we married, so have been together a little over 32 yrs. at this time, but I can honestly say that each and every year gets better and brings us closer.  Kareen, wishing you continued healing.  Rose, you did what was right for you in the matter of your aunt&#39;s funeral.  Just cherish her memory and know you did what had to be done.  Carmen, it was so good to hear from you - you have been truly missed here.  Well, I am off to sit outside for a bit and enjoy this weather - hope you all have a great weekend....
