Afternoon Crazies&#33; Overcast but warmer today here in Florida. Today is Howie&#39;s birthday so we spent most of the morning loafing around. Tonight I&#39;ll make him a NY Strip steak, pierogies and garlic bread for dinner, all his favorites. My DD won&#39;t be here as she has class tonight so tomorrow we&#39;ll be going to the Japanese restaurant to celebrate both Howie &amp; Cynthia&#39;s birthday since they are only 6 days apart. The one thing Howie asked for was for all of us to have dinner together, a rarity around here. No work happening today but I&#39;m doing a few household things. Howie&#39;s napping now....LOL&#33; <br /><br />Shari, sorry to hear you fingers are still swollen and it&#39;s still so cold. It will get warmer&#33;<br /><br />Ed I would definately book a cruise to if I had to go north. I was hoping to find a July one when I have to go to NY for a wedding but no luck. Glad you enjoyed dinner with Jenn &amp; Hugh.<br /><br />Cheryl nice to see you posting again. Glad things are working out for you. Thanks for the offer of help with the kitchen. Still trying to decide about the cabinets so I have a lot of research to do when I get time.<br /><br />Carmen hope you get to go to your conference next week and get the testifying out of the way.<br /><br />Marylou I hope you get to go to the concert. Sounds like something I&#39;d enjoy. <br /><br />Carmen happy to hear you back is doing better. Guess those treatments did the trick.<br /><br />Maria, so glad to hear your doing better today. I&#39;m sure you enjoyed and appreciated you DD&#39;s pampering. Wish it was for a better reason however. Won&#39;t be long and she&#39;ll be closer by.<br /><br />Ray glad to hear your having a good time and Crazie is doing well so far. Keep an eye on her, she&#39;s a wild one&#33; <br /><br />Tonia have you settled back into a real schedule yet......I&#39;m sure you&#39;re body will adjust quickly since you have done this shift a long time. Bet that gloomy weather makes more work. <br /><br />Joey you OK???? Not like you to not check in every morning.<br /><br />We&#39;ll off to do some sewing and have lunch. Have a great day all&#33;<br />
