Should be a wild time in Philly tomorrow for the &quot;official&quot; celebration.   (Glad that I am far away from there right now)  Guess I will have to join the crowd and go buy some Philly shirts today as I&#39;m told there will be a &quot;Wear Red for the Philly&quot; day in school for the kids next week.   <br /><br />Joey - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to David.   Have a safe trip and a great birthday celebration.   How long will you be gone?<br /><br />James - so sorry for your stepsons problems.   About all I can say is be there for him when he needs you.   You are correct that he can&#39;t get help til he admits he needs it.    How are you feeling?   Any further word on those tests?<br /><br />Steve - how great the Lynda&#39;s Dr. will apply their gift to the Connie Goes Crazie cruise.   Hey gang - the drinks are on Steve and Lynda.    lol<br /><br />Cheryl - making candy apples brings back such memories.   My mom used to make them every year with my kids.   They sure had fun.  You are making such wonderful memories for the munchkin.<br /><br />Shaunna - did you pack yet?????   If not, I can be ready to go at a moments notice.    I&#39;ve already started packing and I don&#39;t leave til December.   lol  Hope you had a great birthday celebration.<br /><br />Debbie - how is the ear this morning?    Do you notice any difference since you started wearing the collar?<br /><br />Jenn - that bug is hanging on much too long.    I know how you love working in the yard so if it is interfering with that you better get something stronger to knock it out of you.    How is your Mom doing?<br /><br />Rose - I hope things are warming up a bit for you.    I had planned on capris or shorts after my first day out of Pa. and for now it looks like I may have to rethink this packing thing.   <br /><br />Tonia - Thanks for mentioning all those yummy foods.   It usually only takes one post from you to get me back in the kitchen and doing some cooking.    I love to cook - just hate deciding what to cook when.   <br /><br />Chris - Unfortunately your reason for not coming across the pond to cruise is the same one that keeps up cruising from close to home.    Those airfares can more than double the price of a good cruise.<br /><br />Time to go back and see what was happening around here last night and catch up on some late posts.   Then it is off to TJ&#39;s pre-school Halloween parade around school.    I keep forgetting to mention that after 2 more families pulled their 1st graders out of Ash&#39;s last school the parish is &quot;reviewing&quot; the teachers actions.   Isn&#39;t that nice of them.    I always say &quot;hit them in the pocketbook and they will perk up their ears and listen&quot;<br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll be back later on.
