Good Morning Crazies,<br /><br />MaryLou: It&#39;s a wonder you did not freeze down in the basement with outside temps like that&#33;&#33;  Packing has not started yet, just putting things in a spare bedroom.<br /><br />Shaunna:  Bummer with the shot reaction&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbdown.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbdown:" border="0" alt="thumbdown.gif" /> I&#39;ve had a flu shot yearly since before you were born and the only one that bothered me was the first one.  I was in the Navy and stationed in Adak, Alaska.  A flu bug would have frozen to death up there.  But in the military they do not ask you if you want a shot, you just get it.  Had ours this year at Walgreens a couple of weeks ago.<br /><br />Falina: How is the puppy doing?  Did she sleep OK last night??  I know sometimes that first night can be difficult.<br /><br />Martha: As you can see from my note to MaryLou we have also been lax on getting the packing started.  I guess I&#39;ll get the suitcases in from the garage today so I can get started.  Roe I&#39;m sure will be packing on Friday night (as usual).<br /><br />Eaststandbaggie: Thanksgiving is an American (U.S.) tradition based on a feast celebrated by our Pilgrims and the native Indians to celebrate a successful harvest during their first year here in 1620.  Our Pilgrims were of course Brits who relocated to the New World.  So, every year most households have a family feast with turkey and all the trimmings.  But, no Yorkshire Pudding&#33;&#33;<br /><br />The Christmas market sounds great.  Roe and I have always wanted to do a River Cruise through Germany when all the markets are open, but have not made it yet.  <br /><br />I&#39;m on standby awaiting the arrival of the heating guy who is due to arrive to replace the cover on our cold air return.  It&#39;s one of those &quot;between 8 and noon&quot; arrival schedules.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes2:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /><br />Jenn: I saw a pic of Hugh sleeping outside during your Halloween celebration. So, I guess the dogs were inside.<br /><br />Later,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
