Hi All...<br /><br />Its been forever since I posted.  I&#39;ve tried to spend some time reading and catching up with what is going on with everyone...I know I have missed so much. So let me just say, hope all who were under the weather are on the mend.  Congrats to all of you who shared good news.<br /><br />Spring is finally coming to the northeast. I&#39;m happy to say the snow is finally gone and if I look real close, I see some of the spring bulbs just poking their heads out of the soil. We even had a few days where the temperatures teaed us at 60.  It feel so good to see sun and feel warmth.  The new roof just got put on. It looks nice and glad we made it through the winter without getting any leaks after we lost so many shingles with all the wind.<br /><br />I&#39;m in my glory now that baseball season has started. Luckily, Paul also enjoys and I have made him into a Red Sox fan.  Last Saturday, we drove to Toronto to see a Blue Jays/ Red Sox game.  We lost but it was a blast. i took some good photos of the team during batting and field practice.  I post them on my office door at work. I live in Yankees country and have a friendly rivialry all season long with some of my Yankee friends.  After the game we walked around the city and had coffee in a cafe. We love Toronto. Just wish the exchange rate with Canada was what it use to be. oh well.<br /><br />My big news is that Paul and I just booked a cruise&#33;  After having to cancel our plans in November, it feels great to have something to look forward to again.  It is a year away but the planning and the anticipation just adds to the enjoyment.  We are doing a TA on the Celebrity Solstice. Great itinery and good price. I will look forward to hearing about Ed&#39;s crossing.<br /><br />Well, happy Friday everyone. Enjoy the coming weekend. It feels good to be back on the dock again.  Hopefully, I will be able to post on a more regular basis.  oh, welcome back Mary Lou.  Look forward to hearing more about your cruise... till next time<br /><br />Gail  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />
