Just what we needed.   The weekend was so gorgeous though that it&#39;s OK.     Had a great day yesterday with the girls - they finally left around 6 and got home fine with no traffic.   It was a great weekend and we actually ate outside on the deck yesterday.  Yes, it is finished finally (except to rehang all the lights along the railing)  Today I just have to pick up a new storage bench for the kids toys and we are back in business.   <br /><br />Will have to finally give in and go to the Dr. today to see if there is anything new she can do for my foot.   I&#39;m living in bedroom slippers since I can&#39;t get a shoe on.    I have lots and lots of shopping to get done and need to be able to get around.    In the next 2 weeks I have granddaughter Paige&#39;s b&#39;day (6/12) Brother Doug&#39;s b&#39;day (6/16) brother Bill&#39;s b&#39;day (6/18) and Deb&#39;s b&#39;day (6/21) in addition to Fathers day and my nieces college graduation party.     June is NOT my favorite month - it&#39;s my most expensive month - after December and Christmas.  <br /><br />Rose - you must be beyone excited.    This time next week you will be in Europe.    Hope you got all that packing done.<br /><br />Jenn - looking forward to seeing the pictures of the Hoe Down.<br /><br />Donna - Sorry - you can&#39;t post links to other cruise web sites here.   (I know you can&#39;t on the other site you belong to also)    I mentioned a Meet &amp; Mingle sponsored by another site over there and boy did I hear about it.    lol       I&#39;m sure Joey will get you all fixed up.<br /><br />Jim - I can mentally picture what the bench looked like so look forward to seeing the after pictures.   <br /><br />Jackie - I never heard such a thing either but as hard as it is, I guess it&#39;s best to follow the Doctors orders and wait to hold Nate.   I know it must be so hard.    <br /><br />Falina - good luck this week with the classes and the interview.   Believe in yourself - we do and know you can do it.<br /><br />Cheryl - sounds like you had a close call yesterday.   Glad you are all OK.    Like the others I&#39;m amazed to hear about all the tornados in Colorado.   I know you are known for lots of snow but never heard of the other.<br /><br />Kevin - Are Sharon and your son home yet?   <br /><br />Shari - keep us posted Grandma.   Can&#39;t wait to hear that your newest grandchild has safely arrived.   How are you feeling?<br /><br />Steve - sorry Gramps is having lung issues.    Hope he is doing OK today.    <br /><br />Chris - hope you had a good weekend.   <br /><br />Fred - we are very happy that you found us here.    This place is a bit addicting, isn&#39;t it?    I have to check in everytime I walk by our guest room where my computer is. <br /><br />Time to start the week, do some laundry and rearrange the dust a bit.     I&#39;ll check back later,  but in the meantime make today special and share a smile with someone who really needs one.   <br /><br />
