We&#39;d love to have some of our new members join us here, get to know us and allow us a chance to get to know them.    <br /><br />The final month of the year is here, I can&#39;t believe that 2009 is just around the corner.    Today is the first day of hunting season here in Pa. and all schools as well as a lot of businesses will be closed.    This is when I alter my route to the grocery store - definately not driving through the road in the middle of the forest with all the hunters and their guns.   Our local package store right down the street actually has a huge sign outside saying &quot;Hunters welcome - free samples.&quot;   Isn&#39;t that a great combo - guns and free booze.    OK off my soapbox for now.    <br /><br />Tonight we will celebrate TJ&#39;s approaching birthday next Sunday.   The little guy will turn 4 on Dec. 7th but Nannie &amp; Poppy will be in Miami so we will be having dinner and a cake tonight.   It&#39;s been a roller-coaster ride these last 4 years but hopefully we now have smoother days ahead for him.     He came yesterday with his sister to Help us decorate and is really into Christmas this year.   The laid in front of our fireplace for more than an hour just looking at the lights and the flying Santa we have on the mantle.   <br /><br />Shari - Hope Marc&#39;s treatments aren&#39;t too difficult on him and you can soon put this whole ordeal behind you.    Sending prayers that all goes well.<br /><br /> Deb and all the other AR fans - You are right  I could have cried last night.    I cannot believe those Frat boys are still there.   They have fouled up every step of the way.   I really felt bad after last night&#39;s show.<br /><br />Shaunna - sorry you are still not feeling well.    Time to go see a Dr. and get yourself healthy again.<br /><br />Cheryl - I wanted to buy those marshmallow guns for the grandkids but was warned I would be banned from their homes if I did.   I just may buy them and leave them at my house though.   I  even thought they would be a good stress breaker for Dave when Wall Street was going nuts and he could shoot them around the office.   <br /><br />Jenn - glad you had a nice day with Mom even though you are getting fat.   lol    It&#39;s nice that she seems to have leveled off a bit in her mood swings.<br /><br />Steve - sorry you are all still under the weather.   How is Gramps doing?  <br /><br />Chris - Did you get to go our this weekend?<br /><br />Kevin - hope you made it home safely and Sharon is feeling better.<br /><br />Jackie - those craft boxes sound great.   My craft supplies are slowly taking over my guest room and I need something for them.<br /><br />Rose - Hope some sunshine is heading your way.  Sure wish you lived closer to Miami so we could meet for a drink next weekend.<br /><br />Sue - Hope Pappy doesn&#39;t mind the snow too much.   Guess he&#39;d better get used to it.<br /><br />Falina - glad that DH will be home for awhile and able to help with some of the office work.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   I have so much to do this week my head is spinning but guess I&#39;d better concentrate on packing today.    Be back later<br /><br />Make today special
