More rain on the way today and tomorrow.   May have to begin looking for an ark soon.   We had a great weekend despite the rain but it was good to be back home.    This is Jim&#39;s work week so I have lots I&#39;d like to get done while he is at work. <br /><br /><br /><br />Cheryl - here I am&#33;&#33;   Actually slept til 5:30 this morning.    I guess spending  a weekend with Ash is the solution to my sleeping problems.   She sure did wear us out.   Not only was were busy all day Saturday and Sunday but sleeping with her is impossible.   She covers every inch of a full sized bed every night. <br /><br />Add Jim &amp; I to those who keep our travel kits filled and ready to go at a moments notice.    We just restock them with anything we have used when we return home and we are all set for our next trip.   <br />I actually have 2 of them....a small one for short trips and then a large hanging one for our cruises which contains things like a little sewing kit, small flashlight,  sun screen, etc. <br /><br />Andrea - I thought of you on Saturday night.   The hotel we stayed at had a wedding going on and we watched from our window as the wedding party arrived.   Then the bride &amp; groom arrived in a beautiful shiney 55 Chevy.    (I wasn&#39;t sure of the year but Jim knew it immediately)   What a gorgeous car.<br /><br />Joey - can you believe that this time next week you will be on a cruise?   Hope you have a great time.   Is this your first Voyager class ship?    We love to sit in the Promonade and &quot;people watch.&quot;   One word of warning - you have a l o n g walk back to your cabin so be sure you have everything with you before you venture out.<br /><br />Jackie - welcome home.   Can&#39;t wait to hear all about your adventures.   It sounds like you had a great time anyway.<br /><br />Rose - Happy Birthday to Adam.     This will be a very exciting year from him with buying his first home.<br /><br />Ed - Sounds like Roe is having a great time with her family.    You&#39;ll be heading east in no time.<br /><br />Falina - hope things are settling down for you and you can find an answer to your financial woes.<br /><br />Jenn - how was Hawaii?   Waiting to hear all about your trip.   <br /><br />Jim - It sure sounds like you are keeping busy in your retirement.   We have found that to be very important.<br /><br />Deb - Glad that Zack is feeling better.   <br /><br />James - how is the cruise room coming?<br /><br />Shari - hope things are going well with you.<br /><br />Carmen - what&#39;s on your schedule this week?<br /><br />Sue - good morning to both you and Pappy.<br /><br />Martha - how is work going?   Are you still so busy?   Hope things quiet down a bit but not too much.   <br /><br />Deb - Good luck to Evin on his job search.   This is a rough time to be out looking for work.<br /><br />Steve - You are just too generous to Lynda buying her all that mulch.   Just don&#39;t spend too much money next weekend at the plant shop.  (save some for those jewelry stores in the Caribbean)<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving and get some laundry doing.   Only half way through the clothes swap so I may tackle some of that also today.    With all this rain though it is damp and chilly.   Not a lot of motivation for getting out those shorts and capris.   Jim does need his short sleeved shirts though.<br /><br /><br /><br />
