Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />I was going to go out today to finish my shopping and it was soooo cold and snowing and blowing that I totally wimped out and stayed home and finished it (all but one) online.  I did have to pay a little more for shipping to get it here by Christmas.  shhh...don&#39;t tell Marc.   <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 />Rose...have fun with the cookies...I need to get started on them, too...I did make some banana bread, but that&#39;s all so far.<br /><br />Falina...I hope you can get the computer problems resolved soon...it must be sooo frustrating.  Stay warm&#33;<br /><br />Andrea...be very careful if you do drive your mom to the eye doctor.  Thank you so much for the prayers for Marc.  We really appreciate them.<br /><br />Jackie...I&#39;m so sorry that Candace is so miserable...it will soon be better, though, and it will all be worth it when she holds that sweet little boy in her arms.  Keeping her in my prayers.  That&#39;s so great that you can get your hair appointment tonight...hope everything else works out.  I&#39;ve never tried making the gingerbread house...I&#39;ve thought of it but never got around to doing it.  It sounds like fun...enjoy&#33;  Marc has had his second treatment and is doing very well so far...they are giving him a break next week, and he won&#39;t have one till the following week.  He would rather get it all over with.<br /><br />Ed...what a beautiful story; it brought tears to my eyes.  It also reminded me of two times when Marc and I stopped to help people who had cars stranded in the cold weather.  One time we were on a dark country road by our old lake place and a car was stopped.  It was winter and very cold...we had to stop and help, but it was scary...you don&#39;t know what to expect...it turned out to be a man and wife and three children who were very cold.  We gave them a ride back into town.  We were so glad we stopped.<br /><br />Jen...So glad the roads are clear and the sun is shining.  I&#39;m so glad you&#39;re feeling better.<br /><br />Cheryl...hope you get the computer going soon&#33;<br /><br />Kevin and Steve...stay warm&#33;<br /><br />Have a great day, everyone...and stay warm&#33;
