Things are once again quiet here after a long, fun weekend with the girls.   They are both doing so well and Jim &amp; I are both so proud of the lovely young ladies they have become.   They have had a very hard life but have climbed above it and are doing so well.  We were just getting ready to leave for Staten Island to take them home when Michael got a call that he had to go in to work last night so he took them home when he went to work.    It saved us a long trip back and forth (which we would have gladly done) but also gave us all day long to visit some more.   We did some shopping and found a book that Cait needed for school that she has been unable to get on SI so she was happy. <br /><br />Today we are supposed to have snow showers - yesterday it was 68 out.  What is wrong with this picture?<br />This is the craziest winter I can remember.<br /><br />The unfortunate news is that Michael had to go to work last night since he will be taking tonight off.  We received news yesterday that Deb&#39;s friend Lisa passed away over the weekend so she will be going to SI for 2 days til after the funeral tomorrow.  Lisa was the Principal of St. Peter&#39;s School where Deb taught Kindergarten for 5 years and was only 43 years old.   She was diagnosed with stomach cancer only 3 weeks ago.   She leaves behind her parents, her husband and 2 small children as well as several brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.   The school community is in shock since most of the parents were not even aware that she was ill.   Please remember all of them in your prayers.   The family and community are devastated by this loss.<br /><br />Cheryl - you certainly had a busy, wild day yesterday.   Hope things go better today.   How is your car? After all you went through I hope they did everything they were supposed to do to it.    How is Scotty doing and what is he up to these days?   I just received a picture last night that Paige lost her two front teeth this weekend.  She looks so cute&#33;  Loosing the top ones is much more impressive than the bottom ones.  We barely noticed that the bottoms ones were out but she sure has a big space up top now.   lol<br /><br />Maria - I was so happy to see that you were able to stop by and say hi to us yesterday.  Glad you are feeling better now that you have parted company with that pesty gall bladder.   Thanks to DD Maria for checking in with us.   Stay well now. <br /><br />Ed - Have a fun dinner with Jenn and Hugh tonight.   Tell her we miss her and need her back to give us our daily chuckles.  <br /><br />I have sheets and a mountain of towels to wash so I&#39;d better get to it.   I don&#39;t know how 2 girls can use so many towels after their shower.  I think they were trying to clean out my linen closet - and they came close to doing it.   lol    <br /><br />I&#39;ll be back later to catch up with everyone. I only glanced thru the posts I missed so will go back and see what I missed.    Make today special and share a smile.<br /><br /><br /><br />
