I hope everyone is having a good weekend.    This will be a week of remembrances in our house.   Today would have been my  dear Dad&#39;s 90th birthday but Thursday will mark the 28th Anniversary of his passing.    It doesn&#39;t seem possible that he is gone that long.  <br /><br />Joey - hope all is OK with you.   You haven&#39;t been around too much.   Please let us know that you are OK and just very busy.<br /><br />Kevin -  congratulations to you on your new car.    I hope Sharon has many happy trips planned in it, it sounds like she may.     I&#39;m sure Austin will be happy to have his own wheels.  Drive safely in both.<br /><br />Chris - congratulations to Kath on her weight loss.     I&#39;m sure it is very hard especially with the holidays approaching.   <br /><br />Shari - Glad you will get a day away from the kitchen on Thursday and your DD will cook.   You and Marc have been through enough lately - you need a break.<br /><br />Robert - it doesn&#39;t matter whether you and your brother were close or not - you still must grieve at your own speed and in your own way.   Hopefully, his passing will make your surviving brother and sister realize they need to put their problems behind them and make up with you.    <br /><br />Falina - the puppy is very cute.   Hope all your pets can decide to get along.    Hope DH has a good trip and gets back in time for Thanksgiving.<br /><br />Cheryl - yes, Martha is crusing with us in December and also cruising right before us.   I think she is just getting her Christmas shopping finished because we don&#39;t get back to Miami til 12/19 and both have long drives home, cutting a very close for Christmas.   Jim &amp; I went out for dinner last night and I was amazed at all the homes already lit up for Christmas.   <br /><br />Sue - How is your new niece doing?     I know you are happy to have your Mom home even if she tries to control you.   <br /><br />Andrea - how are you doing?  You must be so busy with all the extra work you are doing for your friend.   Prayers continue to go her way.  <br /><br />Jackie, Jenn, Rose, Steve, Ed, Carmen, Martha, Joe and whoever else is am missing, hope you have a good day and are staying well.    I&#39;ll check back later.   Think I will begin going thru the Christmas bins in the basement today and &quot;sneeking&quot; things up while Jim isn&#39;t looking.    <br /><br /><br />Make today special<br />
