WEDNESDAY - October 10th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies....the much needed rain has arrived and we had a night of very violent T-storms and more rain forecast for today.    When the rains came yesterday afternoon the temps dropped from 90 down to 66 in 30 minutes so it looks like our heat wave may finally be over.  Today the carpet people are coming back to restretch our bedroom carpeting - they claim it buckled because of the humidity - we will see.  Considering that it is wall to wall down the hall and through both bedrooms and only the master bedroom buckled I have my doubts but hopefully they know what they are talking about and can remedy the mess without ripping up everything.  <br />

Rose - Deb and I have our weekend all planned.  There is a lovely dinner theater in Lancaster, Pa - about   1 1/2 hrs. from us and it is surrounded by outlet centers.  so we will be SHOPPING.   We will leave early on Saturday and shop for part of the day, check into a hotel by the theater and that evening will go to see Cabaret.  Then Sunday we will hit some of the other outlets on the way home.   Ash is going with us but she is  a great little shopper and won&#39;t slow us down a bit.   lol  Fortunately, Deb has a neighbor (who Ash adores) whose fiance just moved up to Lancaster about 10 minutes from the theater so Amanda and Joe will come to the &quot;show and tell&quot; and stay with Ash while Deb &amp; I go to the theater.  Hope we can convince Ash that the place is called a &quot;Motel&quot; not a &quot;show and Tell&quot; before she goes back to school on Monday and the teacher asks what the kids did over the weekend.   hahaha<br />

Ed - 4800 passengers is way too much for my taste also.  We saw the Liberty in St. Maarten this year and it towered over the Explorer.  That was way too bit for me.  <br />
<br />
Jenn - I agree with you about all the cooking - If I don&#39;t do it no one does.  I always threaten to book a cruise over Thanksgiving or Christmas just to see what my family would do but of course I never do.  Secretly I love all the cooking (but I will deny it if my family asks)  Hope Hugh is feeling better today.<br />
<br />
Tonia - YEAH&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; so glad you got the shorter cast in time for your trip.  I&#39;m sure you are a bit stiff but hopefully you will have that all worked out before you leave.  <br />
<br />
Cheryl - hope Greg is feeling better today - don&#39;t catch any of his germs.  Enjoy reading those precious Docs and do all that last minute planning.  <br />
<br />
Maria - glad you are back home after your weekend.  <br />
<br />
Time to get moving - I have to clean all the little stuff out of the bedroom before the carpet men come.  I&#39;m not quite sure what they mean by little stuff but the bedroom furniture is definately their problem - not mine.  Make today special and share a smile with someone.
