Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />We had a wonderful day yesterday with some of the kids and grandkids over for a BBQ. We had a special guest from England who will be flying back tonight. Our weather is still on the cool side, but we have a high of 75 for the next three days. It should be a great week. Hoping to go to the State Fair this week, but not sure I can make it.  We have a wedding to go to &quot;Up North&quot; this weekend. Have to watch the weather reports on Wednesday to get a more accurate report to know how to dress, I guess. It could get kind of chilly in the evenings. <br /><br />Debbie...I can understand that Zach will want to wait a bit for a new kitty.  It is so hard to lose our precious pets.  That is so sad that so many are abandoning their pets.  I watched the daytime emmys, too.  Glad they put them on, guess they were thinking of not doing it this year. <br /><br />Mary Lou...our little Avery loves to wear dresses and skirts, too...glad you had some sunshine...hope Ashleigh has a wonderful first day and a great school year.  I think the chocolate chip pancakes will be just the thing for TJ.  <br /><br />Jim...the retail therapy sounds like a geat idea. Love your quote&#33;<br /><br />Tim...hope the Monday blues are better.<br /><br />James...so nice that Donna is back.<br /><br />Shaunna...sorry the second group didn&#39;t work out.<br /><br />Falina...I&#39;m so glad that Dennis is feeling better about things.  Hope all goes well with his/and your plans.<br /><br />Ed...hope all goes well at the dermatologist.<br /><br />Sue...so glad Pappy is doing well.<br /><br />Rose...saying prayers for your niece, Heather.  So glad the surgery went well.  Hope the biopsy has good news.<br /><br />Andrea...so glad you found the original documents.  <br /><br />Kevin...the sunflowers are beautiful...not good, though, that they cause runny eyes and noses.<br /><br />Jen...good luck with the tomatoes.  They are soooo yummy coming from the garden.  I would love some tomato recipes if anyone has them.  I used to make salsa, chili, tomato sauce, etc.  no recipes for them, just did it...but have been too lazy lately.  LOL  Never got into canning.  We do freeze things in our Food saver system, but usually meats and cooked dishes.<br /><br />Fred...hope your son is doing well.  On the ships, you probably wouldn&#39;t do wrong in choosing either one of them.  <br /><br />Martha...so glad you had a nice weekend with your granddaughters.  So sorry about the cataract.  Hope all will stay well with your eyes. I was told I had the start of a cataract a couple of years ago, and when I saw another doctor, he said that I didn&#39;t...so I guess I will need a third opinion on that.<br /><br />Jackie...glad you got the TV up and going.  Hope little Luc will start feeling better soon.  Teething is always a tough time for the little ones...and the parents, too.<br /><br />Sheri...glad you are feeling a little better.  Rest well, and heal well.<br /><br />Ellie...Welcome..it&#39;s so nice to hear from you&#33;<br /><br />Linda...glad you had a nice time with the girls.  That&#39;s a bummer about the glasses.  I had that happen to me at work once, and I also had my prescription sun glasses with.  I had to work with sunglasses on till I was off the clock and could get to the doctor&#39;s.  <br /><br />Gibber...so nice to hear from you...Blessings back to you and yours&#33;<br /><br />Hi to Sharon and ALL Cruise Crazies&#33;<br /><br />Hope everyone has a wonderful day&#33;
