I don&#39;t envy our (soon to be) new President&#39;s job&#33;<br /><br />I do have many great memories from my childhood living in this house. Now we&#39;re creating our own memories and making this house our own.<br /><br /><b>Cheryl</b> - have fun with Scotty today&#33; Greg is sure lookin&#39; good in that pic&#33;<br /><br /><b>Joey</b> - Falina&#39;s right - this is Andrea&#39;s 2nd cruise...first for their daughters. I hope all&#39;s well at the Dr.&#39;s today&#33;<br /><br />Thanks <b>Carmen</b>&#33; When we acquired the house the deck was one of the first things we did to update the house. We practically live out there in the summer&#33;<br />Such a neat story with your DH&#39;s family. I guess it was meant to be that they get together.<br /><br /><b>Falina</b> - it sounds like you&#39;re busy, busy&#33; I bet it&#39;s fun to babysit Dylan but a 2 year-old can be exhausting&#33;<br /><br /><b>Keith</b> - glad you and Rita are almost rid of your colds. Whenever we cruise in the winter we all always get a cold soon after returning. Thanks for the compliment on my &quot;country home&quot;. Many people think these little cape cod bungalows look like country cottages. There are many of this model on our street. They were post war houses - many financed with the GI Bill.. as my parents did. I think they paid &#036;7000 for it in 1946.<br /><br /><b>James</b> - I hope your temps you&#39;re reporting are in Celsius....not Fahrenheit...Brrrrrr&#33;<br /><br /><b>Ed</b> and <b>Shaunna</b> - Have you ever tried those auto-scoop litter boxes? Alls you have to do is empty the container.<br /><br /><b>Sue</b> - How does Pappy like this cold? I bet he gets &quot;his business&quot; done quicker than usual <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />I think that&#39;s all the stuff I had typed before&#33;<br /><br />A big HELLO to all other Crazies out there&#33;
