Hi Everyone...<br /><br />Boy...you guys are all making me nervous with all the shopping and decorating you have done already.  I thought I had lots of time, yet.   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br /><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Thank you all sooo much for the prayers for Marc<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->...They put off his immunotherapy because of infection, so he&#39;s on a heavy duty antibiotic first.  He&#39;s doing well, and is in good spirits. I&#39;m trying to talk him into putting up the tree and lights so I can decorate it.  <br /><br />We usually put sparkly blue garland around the downstairs great room, and also the fireplace there, too.  So if he does that then I can get everything else done.  I do all the decorating of the tree and put out all the other decorations.  I need to make my shopping list and get busy on that.  It&#39;s been so cold here that I haven&#39;t really wanted to go out much.  This has been a cold Fall...which will make it seem like a much longer winter unless we have a break of warmer weather soon.  We may have snow tomorrow.  Nothing big&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou...Happy early birthday to TJ&#33;&#33;  They will get Marc started on the therapy when the infection clears.  Hope you and Jim have a wonderful cruise.  We did the Panama Canal a few years back and it was great.<br /><br />Shaunna...glad you&#39;re feeling better.  If you get heartburn a lot I would check with the doctor...maybe you have acid reflux problems.  <br /><br />Rose...you are doing great with your shopping. I usually love shopping the Malls at Christmas time (if I&#39;m feeling good and not rushed) but may do a bit of shopping online this year.<br /><br />Deb...hope your arthritis and feet will be feeling better soon&#33;<br /><br />James...good luck on the house you are looking at&#33;<br /><br />Kevin...so glad you made it home safely...hope Sharon is feeling better&#33;<br /><br />Chris...congratulations on your son&#39;s new job&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...the fried ravioli sounds good...we usually have friends over for New Year&#39;s Eve, and I make appetizers...I think I will try them.<br /><br />Tuesday...your home looks lovely.  Beautiful decorations&#33;<br /><br />Sorry if I don&#39;t mention everyone...it&#39;s 4:10 AM, and I&#39;m falling asleep at the computer...LOL   <br /><br />Thanks again for the prayers&#33;<br /><br />Hope all my Cruise Crazie friends have a wonderful day&#33;&#33;&#33;  Stay warm&#33;<br /><br />
