Hopefully today will be my last trip to ToysRUs before the holiday rush begins.    I try to avoid that place once the Christmas mania hits and one more trip should do it for me.   <br /><br />Cheryl - I&#39;m sure you made the right decision about your nieces wedding.   The stress of traveling over a holiday weekend would not result in a very fun weekend for you and Greg.     My cousins daughter is being married on 12/19 in So. Carolina and we have made the same decision.   I know that the bride and groom will have a better use for the check we are sending than to add 2 more people to have to feed at their reception.   <br /><br />Joey - David will finally be home today.  I&#39;m so happy to hear he is enjoying his new job so much and that there is another promotion in the near future for him.   It&#39;s just a shame it will require so much traveling.  <br /><br />Tuesday - happy to see you on the dock and glad you are posting here.     <br /><br />Sue - sorry about the fight with your Mom but enjoy the peace and quiet while she is gone.   Try not to let her get you down.<br /><br />Jenn - you must have a considerable inventory of Halloween props by now.    Do you do a big display for Christmas also.    I know what you mean about the basement playing havoc with your breathing.   I don&#39;t go down to our basement unless absolutely necessary and always have to be sure to have my inhaler with me when I do go.   Breath easy.<br /><br />Rose - how is the wrist today?    Sounds like you had a fun day shopping with your DD.    <br /><br />Deb - sorry you had to put off your test for another week.   It will be good when they get to the bottom of your problem.   That vertigo can really mess you up.   <br /><br />Shari - hope you got some encouraging news from Marc&#39;s surgery yesterday.   Please up date us when you have a chance.<br /><br />Tonia - I think you are in the wrong business.   You should be running a restaurant or even a cooking school.    Have you ever heard of the Young Chefs Academy?   It is a franchise operation where they teach kids how to prep food and cook beginning at age 4.   Ashleigh has gone several times and just loves it.   You have such a way with food it would be perfect for you.<br /><br />Martha - have a good day and try and get some rest.    <br /><br />Ed - how was the latest Pastor candidate?   Hope you find someone soon.<br /><br />Steve - The deer are coming down from the mountains around here but unfortunately are not the smartest animals around.   Our highways are sadly littered with them.    <br /><br />Chris - hope you MIL continues to improve.<br /><br />Kevin - Do you go up to your cabin every weekend?   Sounds like a wonderful place to write and enjoy the scenery at the same time.<br /><br />Guess I&#39;ve put off my chores long enough.   I&#39;ll be so happy when the stores switch to their holiday hours and begin opening early.   Once that happens I can usually so out, do my shopping and be back home before the normal opening time of 10AM.    Perfect for an early riser like me.    <br /><br />I&#39;ll be back later on.    Make today special.<br />
