I have no idea how much chili to make for about 80 people but I&#39;d better get started on it anyway.    We want to feed these nice folks after the walk but want them to have something to eat and send them on their way - not make a whole day of it with lots of food and drink.   So Deb decided on hot dogs, chili and hero sandwiches.   That will make it a little easier on me since I, of course, get to do all the cooking.<br /><br />Our local TV station is coming to Deb&#39;s house this afternoon to interview them and the kids.  Ashleigh and TJ are besides themselves with excitement.    Ashleigh has her speech all prepared (and probably won&#39;t say a word once the lights go on) and TJ is going to show them how he jumps from his chair to the coach.   After the TV crew leaves it will most likely be a trip to the ER since so far the elusive Penny has not been retrieved and they said after 3 days they would have to X-ray to be sure it isn&#39;t lodged anywhere.  <br /><br />Jackie - prayers heading your way over the loss  in your daughters family.    May her father- in -law rest in peace.<br /><br />On a happier note, Happy Birthday to Gucci.    I hope you had an extra treat on hand for the birthday pooch.<br /><br />Martha - glad to see you posting on the Dock.  Please join us whenever you can.<br /><br />Rose - How is your toe this morning.  I sure hope it doesn&#39;t look like the picture Jenn posted.   <br /><br />Robert - I don&#39;t even know what to say to you anymore about your cruise.   Hopefully Carnival will wake up and offer you a chance to rebook.   Keep us posted.<br /><br />Joey - how was that chicken?   Hope you have lots of leftovers for that salad.<br /><br />Cheryl - you sure do need a rest after all the company you have been having.   A very Happy Birthday to your brother this weekend.  Then when he leaves, put up your feet and relax for a bit.<br /><br />Jenn  - Hope your Mom enjoyed her birthday.  Where in the world do you find the pictures that you post.    Have you started work on your Halloween decorations in the yard yet?  According to the stores here Christmas is just around the corner as when I went to get my hair cut yesterday another store was busy decorating Christmas trees.   I guess they don&#39;t make enough of the almighty &#036;&#036;&#036;&#036; with Halloween or Thanksgiving sales.  <br /><br />Andrea - you need to take your Dad to the Dr. TODAY.   Friend, with everything you have on your plate I&#39;m suprised you remember your name.   Missing an appointment is nothing compared to everything that you do.   <br /><br />Falina - fall is coming and on the first windy day just open the windows - it does wonders for the dust.  lol<br /><br />Shaunna - hope you are doing OK.  We miss you here on the dock.  Try and stop by if only for a few minutes.<br /><br />Carmen - how great to hear from you and hear that you have big plans for your birthday celebration.   Sorry your work is keeping you so busy put please stop by whenever you can.<br /><br />Sue, deb, Kevin, Ed, Steve and all my other Crazies, have a great day.    You all know my weekend plans - what does everyone else have on their calendar?  I&#39;ll be back and forth all day to see how everyone is doing.<br /><br />Make today special.   <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
