Hi all.  Well the munchkin just left and I am fixing to go soak in the jacuzzi but wanted to check in with my fellow crazies first.  We made our caramel apples today.  He put all kinds of candy sprinkles on his, wouldn&#39;t have been my choice but that is what he wanted to do.  He rolled grandpa&#39;s in crushed pecans and made a couple of them that were just &quot;plain&quot; for me.  I didn&#39;t have the heart to tell him that I don&#39;t like apples - I&#39;ll just make sure that someone eats them before he comes over again.<br /><br />Tonia, how funny that we were just talking about Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives last night. Guy Fieri was on our local news today at noon.  He was promoting his new book &quot;Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, An All American Road Trip&quot;.  I didn&#39;t even know he had a book.  I went to DSW today and Barnes &amp; Noble is right next door to it, so I popped in and bought it.  It has the recipes of some of the foods he has featured on the show.<br /><br />Steve, that is good that the dr. is going to just give Lynda the cash - guess, in a way, he is paying for part of the Connie cruise.  <br /><br />Hey Ed, were you watching the game?  Congrats to all our PA crazies&#33;&#33;&#33;  Phillies, World Series champs....<br /><br />Joey, be safe on the road tomorrow&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Chris, do you hate winter as much as I do???  I hate the cold and snow, but am forced to live somewhere with harsh winters.  Wish I could live somewhere tropical and warm&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />James, I am so sorry about your son.  As I parent, I know how heart breaking it is to watch them go thru things like this and you cannot change it and make it better for them.  He will be in my prayers.<br /><br />Hi Jenn - sounds like your cold is being cantankerous,  Hope you kick it soon.<br /><br />Falina and Kevin seem to be missing.  Hmmmmm, maybe we can get a good rumor started there....<br /><br />Shaunna - you are almost there.  I am getting so excited for you&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Hello to Shari, Rose, Mary Lou, Keith, Sue, Deb and any other Crazies I may have missed....
