Afternoon all. Happy Sunday&#33; Hope everyone is having a restful day. Worked pretty much all day yesterday so I didin&#39;t have time to stop in. Seems like the work is coming in earlier this year but of course that can change at a moments notice. <br /><br />Jackie I&#39;m really looking forward to the weekend away but know that I&#39;ll be working twice as hard when I get back.....LOL&#33; You play you pay as Howie would say. Still worth it as I really spend very little time with my DD since she&#39;s busy with her BF, school and work so it will be wonderful to spend some quality time together if only for 3 days. I know that Howie &amp; I will be looking to escape after tax season but we have a wedding in June and one in July so we&#39;re trying to work around them. So glad that you were able to really get a weekend off&#33;<br /><br />Tonia, sorry if November seems so far off for you but you know the time will fly by now that your back  at work and your favorite shift.<br /><br />Steve glad you had a good birthday celebration. Don&#39;t we all use that as an excuse to eat??? LOL Like the picture of you and Lynda. DD &amp; I are going to the Bahamas. It doesn&#39;t matter where we go to her, just that they have a bar and mom&#39;s buying&#33; LOL I have the same theory as you when it comes to fun......go for it. DD &amp; I hope to parasail while on our cruise. We love it&#33; Not sure I&#39;d white water raft but speed boating sounds great&#33; Sorry about being snowed in but sometimes those are the best days&#33;<br /><br />Nice picture of you and Roe, Ed. Enjoy your time with Jenn &amp; Hugh. Tell her we all said Hi&#33;<br /><br />Marylou hope you enjoy your time with Heather &amp; Cait. I&#39;m sure you have lots of catching up to do. I agree with you about Bermuda, it&#39;s just lovely&#33;<br /><br />Carmen my you are multi-talented&#33; Write articles, poems, etc. Sounds like your all set for your cruise. Would love to do a trans atlantic someday. I love sea days.<br /><br />Sue glad to hear you at least got one sunny day this weekend. <br /><br />Cheryl, I love the thin mints from the Girl Scouts, unfortuately my hips don&#39;t. I do have one box, frozen so I&#39;m not tempted to eat them all at once. <br /><br />Ray sounds like you are having a great time. Keep Crazie in check......and away from the bars&#33; <br /><br />Well off to catch up on the rest of the boards. Everyone stay safe and have a great day&#33;
