Good morning all.  I haven&#39;t had a chance to read most of the posts of this morning, so will go back and catch up later, but I did see that it would have been Joey&#39;s dad&#39;s birthday.  Youll be in my thoughts today Joey.  You too, Falina.  I have to go run some errands and then load up on groceries for our guests who will be arriving tomorrow.  We planned to book our cruise when they arrive (had already decided which one it will be) but Carnival is having a one day sale today, so I went ahead and called Jennifer and booked ours.  So that Bev and Jud could get full benefit of the sale also, even though they will be booking after the sale is over, Jennifer put Greg and I in seperate cabins - that way we have 2 balcony cabins, next to each other, reserved.  When our friends get here and they call her, she will put them in one of those cabins and list Greg and I together in the same one.  I always pick our cabin so I can be midship, but to get 2 cabins next to each other that could be made into king-sized beds, I had to pick some right by the elevators.  Has anyone ever been in that location and do you hear a lot of noise?  Mary Lou, yes it is Scotty&#39;s daddy who got engaged.  I did not think he would ever out himself in that position again - some of you may recall that he divorced about a yr. and a half ago.  His wife had walked out on him and Scotty several times over the years, then she had an affair and got pregnant by the guy she was cheating on him with, who was a convicted felon (manufacturing of meth amphetamine).  He started dating Darcey a few months after his divorce but he was trying to keep it casusal as he had trust issues, for good reason.  The wedding is planned for Oct, 11, 2009 - the weekend before we leave for our cruise.  Scotty is very happy about it - he is not sure that he wants Annabelle to come along in the package deal, but he loves Darcey and she is very good to him and he is already calling her his stepmom.  Well, guess I had better get dressed and get moving - the jeweler just called and said my wedding ring would be ready at 1:00, so I will make a swing by there also.  It really was strange not having it for almost a week.  Talk to you guys later....
