Baby - it&#39;s cold outside.  We had a hard white frost last night.  This morning there were footprints - actually talon ptrints???- left by the Heron trying to get a bite to eat out of the fish pond.  Luckilly the dog sensed something and ran out barking.  But that danged bird just sat on the neighbours roof for ages - waiting for a chance lol.<br /><br />We took the lighthouses in and unhooked the bubbler lines - and added the floating de-icers so (hopefully) we won&#39;t lose any fish to the winter weather this year.  They have stopped eating so next week we will take out the pump so they can go into their sleep mode.<br /><br />Carmen - what&#39;s wrong with you girlfriend.  You are supposed to be &quot;milking&quot; this thing for a few weeks - like I do lol.  Breakfast in bed, maybe one of those little bells lol.  But I have to admit - those Indian dishes sound super.  I love Indian food - but Dh doesn&#39;t have a good &quot;Stomach&quot; for spicy.  Guess I&#39;m all the spice he needs lol.  Take care of yourself.<br /><br />Rose - congrats on you SDM status - not long now&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Tonia - the dog thing reminded me of the Movie - The CHristmas Story.  WHere the naighbours dogs rush in and devour eveything in sight - then the family has to go out for Chinese food for Christmas.  I don&#39;t think our dogs are ever out of the kitchen if I&#39;m in there  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br />Maria - don&#39;t overdo it - be sure to let the others clean up  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br /><br />I got some of that Alka Seltzer cold stuff - tastes great - not sure how well it works but - tastes great tee-hee.<br /><br />All of you have a great time tomorrow - don&#39;t work too hard and don&#39;t eat too much.<br /><br />Talk at you all later.<br /><br /><br /><br />
