Hi everyone...<br /><br />Thank you all so much for the prayers.  I really appreciate them.<br /><br />Just dropping by while my grandson watches a movie...we have had him over yesterday and today while his mom is working.  Getting excited about the cruise coming up.  I have to start getting ready for this cruise pretty soon or we won&#39;t have to worry about hauling the luggage since there won&#39;t be anything ready.  LOL<br /><br />Mary Lou...our last cruise was on Dec. 4th 2004.  It was a 15-night cruise. I had to get all the shopping and everything done early, too, so I know what you mean.  While it was really nice seeing the ship all decorated for Christmas, and I even got to celebrate my birthday onboard, and everything worked out great, I don&#39;t think I, personally, would go at that time again since I felt like I missed a lot of the season.  I love Christmas time. Hope it&#39;s the best cruise ever for you and Jim.  I loved our Panama Canal cruise.  It should be a good one for you.<br /><br />Rose, hope your ankle is better.<br /><br />Jackie...Happy Birthday to Tony, and welcome back to your daughter and SIL.<br /><br />Andrea...Welcome back&#33;&#33;&#33;  Happy Birthday to Rachael.<br /><br />Robert...stay safe while in Galveston&#33;<br /><br />Joey and David...Best Wishes, and sending a big hug&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Carmen...sorry about the hip pain and leg cramps...sometimes calcium, magnesium and Vitamin E will help for the leg cramps.<br /><br />Shaunna...I love your avatar...beautiful picture&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Hi to Cheryl, Kevin, Ed, Jen, Falina, Debbie, Keith and Rita, Sue, Martha, Tonia, and to all our Cruise Crazies&#33;<br /><br />Have to go and check on my grandson. <br /><br />Have a great day, everyone&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
