Another week has begun - I have a busy week ahead of me.   Nothing special, just a lot of little running around that doesn&#39;t get done when Jim is home.     Yesterday brought the much anticipated thaw and snow melt along with an awful lot of local flooding as the ground is still too frozen to absorb the melting snow.   It sure is nice to see our yard again but everything looks so brown and dingy.  Looking forward to it all slowly turning green although I&#39;m sure we have not heard the last of Old Man Winter.   We still have quite a bit of snow on the deck but I should be able to shovel that off today.  <br /><br />Had a great time in my favorite store yesterday.   The ottoman I liked as damaged and the only one there but they are expecting more in this week so I will just have to go back there (again and again and again.)   Did manage to buy a lot of things I could easily live without but I bought them anyway.    I told you I love that store.    <br /><br />Jackie - I&#39;m happy you got to spend some time with Luc.   Sounds like he is doing very well.   I&#39;m sure Tony is anxious to get him out fishing but he may have to wait some time for that.     Hope you are doing a bit better and can find some relief.<br /><br />Ed - Hope Roe is feeling better today.    Perhaps a week off from treatment will help the aches and pains she is experiencing.   Send ((((hugs)))) her way.<br /><br />Jenn - Great news about your DD and the kidney stones.   Sorry you are under so much stress with your Mom.   I know you don&#39;t need to be told to watch your BP.   I really worry about you and what you are going through.<br /><br />Deb - your DH sounds like a definate keeper.   What a nice gesture, making a CD of your favorite songs all together.   Glad you had a nice anniversary celebration.<br /><br />Falina - hope this week finds you feeling better and back to planning the big wedding?   How did Dennis make out being back on the road.<br /><br />Martha - glad you got to check in.   You don&#39;t want us sending the CruiseCrazies posse out looking for you, do you?    lol<br /><br />Steve - good luck with Management today.   Keeping fingers crossed that they see things your way and you get all your conditions met.    Keep us posted.<br /><br />Sue - glad you are feeling better.    I&#39;m sure Pappy is happy to get his walks in again.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.    I have some retail therapy to catch up on today.   Saw a bird bath in my favorite store yesterday that  Jim really liked so I&#39;m heading back there to pick it up for Valentines Day for him.   <br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll be back later
