MONDAY - October 8th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies and Happy Columbus Day - time to hit the malls for all those bargains they are offering for the holidays.  Our company left late last night so I am free to shop all day if I like.  We had a great visit with our friends and spent most of the day yesterday sitting out on the deck again.  Is this really October?????  Managed to have both breakfast and dinner outside.  Guess I should have save myself some work and just planned a BBQ.  <br />
<br />
Maria - glad you had a good weekend at the races.  Like OH, we have awful bagels (and pizza) here in Pa. You are right - there is nothing like a NY bagel and a Deninos Pizza.  Jim swears it must be the water they use here to bake and he could be right.  <br />
<br />
Keith &amp; Rita - glad you could finally relax and enjoy a ball game.  I&#39;m sure you are anxious to go back to work to rest Keith.  <br />
<br />
Shari - have fun with little Isabelle - they grow so fast - enjoy every minute with her.<br />
<br />
Ed - how was your trip up to the mountains?  Hope you saw the color change you were looking for.<br />
<br />
Rose - Chicken parm sounds yummy.  I haven&#39;t made that is ages but for most of this week it will be leftovers for us.  Cooked far too much for the company this weekend.  <br />
<br />
Jenn - how is that craft room coming along?  I&#39;d love to have a whole room for all my 1/2 finished projects.  Once I put them in the bureau or on the closet shelf I forget about them. <br />
<br />
Jackie - safe travels back to Florida.  I&#39;m sure those grandkids are getting very anxious to see you again.<br />
<br />
Tonia - Robert - Sue - Ed &amp; Roe - time to finish up that packing.  It&#39;s too bad none of you are sailing on the same ship so you could all meet but I hope you all have wonderful cruises and can&#39;t wait to hear all about them.  <br />
<br />
Time to get my day started before I hit the malls.  Make today special and share a smile with someone as you go about your day.
