Joey - I hope David has a safe and productive trip to Chicago.   Hope all goes well with your check-up at the Drs.   I&#39;m sure he would be more than happy to write a reference for you and David.    Looks like your Alaska cruise is all set.   Have you decided on excursions, etc?  You must be so excited about that trip.   <br /><br />Sue - good luck to you with your heart check-up today.   Let us know how everything goes.<br /><br />Steve - After shopping I always start out by saying &quot;I saved you &#036;&#036;&#036;&#036;&#036; on this outfit - isn&#39;t that great.&quot;   Jim just says &quot;give me the bottom line - how much did it cost me. &quot;   He just doesn&#39;t understand.   hehe<br /><br />Jenn - Happy Birthday to your daughter.   Glad you had a nice day with her and your Mom.   Hope the chili didn&#39;t do you in last night. I find that as  I am getting to a &quot;more advanced age&quot; I can&#39;t tolerate spicy foods like I used to.   <br /><br />Ed - congrats on booking your Anniversary cruise.   Which ports will you be visiting?  Enjoy your new BBQ once you finally pick it up. <br /><br />Andrea - how are your Mom &amp; Dad doing today?   Sounds like you are very busy with tending to their medications.<br /><br />Deb - glad your tummy problems are over and you are doing better.   <br /><br />Rose - sounds like your kitchen project is coming along great.   You are so talented - I envy you the ability to fix things like that.   Just talking to Cait last night who is like that.   Before she came up here she dismantled and fixed her pool filer.   She certainly didn&#39;t learn how to do things from her father - don&#39;t know where she got so talented but I plan on finding a few things for her to do around here today.  lol<br /><br />Well I hear movement from the living room so the girls are up.    Have a lot to cram into one day so I&#39;ll check back tonight.   Just wanted to catch up a bit on what is going on around here.  <br /><br />
