Joey, as others have said, your mom was a beautiful woman.  She was only in her 30&#39;s when she passed away, do you  mind my asking what took her life?  As you have surmised, we are home from Texas and the wedding.  As you may remember, I emailed the TSA 2 weeks ago and asked about taking my alcohol onboard and I kept getting automated emails saying they had received my request and would get back to me as soon as they could - when we got home, I had an email saying I could receive an answer if I called them.  Not much good to me as we had already taken the trip at the time.  I discovered that I could carry it on the plane though.  I put my 4 little bottles of Bacardi rum in a clear qt. sized plastic baggie and put it in a seperate bin as the rules stated, and it ran thru the x-ray machine and out the other side where I picked it up and put it back in my purse.  Then I bought a bottled coke and drank some and then poured 2 of the little bottles in with it and drank most of it before even boarding, but I still had about 1/4 of it left when we boarded and so I just carried it on with me and finished it on the plane.  In Dallas, I did the same thing.   Yesterday, when we flew out of Lubbock, I took the  remaining bottles out of my suitcase that I had checked on the way there and put them in my baggie and sent thm thru the x-ray machine.  When I got to the other end to pick them up, there was this big guy standing there, and he said &quot;Ma&#39;am, are these yours?  I replied that they were and he said, &quot;I&#39;m sorry but you cannot board the plane with these.&quot;  I told him, very nicely, that I was sorry, that I did not intend to break their rules, I had carried them thru Denver and Dallas, but I realize that different airports may have different rules.  He started laughing and said &quot;rum&#39;s my favorite so I was just trying to get an early Christmas present&quot; and it was okay for me to carry them onboard the plane.  I said if it was any consellation,  they would probably be mostly gone before I even boarded.  He laughed again and said he guessed he didn&#39;t have to tell me to have a good flight then.  So just for your info, it is okay to carry those little bitty bottles of alcohol onboard the plane.  Joey, I have bought many things from Overstock.com and have always been pleased.  Well, guess I had bettter get moving...I had my nails done on Thursday before we left Friday morning and one broke on the trip there and I could not find anywhere in that little poduck town we were in to fix it, so have to take care of that, go buy groceries and then go pick up the hounds at Camp Bow Wow.

Having the day from Heck here in Colorado.  I went to Sportsman Warehouse to get Greg a pocketknife for his stocking.  He had a little Swiss Army knife that he really liked and forgot to put it in his checked luggage when we flew to Lubbock, so security took it from him.  I paid with my American Express card and then went to Walgreen&#39;s.  When I went to checkout, I discovered that I did not have my card.  I came home and called them and was on hold for over 30 minutes to report a lost card.  Afterwards, I went to Safeway to pick up a prescription and she told me that it was &#036;80.  I asked if insurance didn&#39;t pay at all, and she said they did, and that &#036;80 was my co-pay.  I told her they could keep it and that I would transfer my prescription to CostCo.  I called them and they said it wouldn&#39;t be ready until tomorrow.  It really wasn&#39;t the money, it is just that Safeway has gouged me so many times on medications.  I take Zantac 300 (prescription) for my acid reflux.  At Safeway, it costs &#036;108 and at CostCo, it costs me &#036;16 - both are cash prices as my insurance doesn&#39;t cover it.  I know you are probably wondering why I didn&#39;t have it called into CostCo in the first place...Safeway is about 3 blocks from my house, whereas I have to go across town to CostCo plus I HATE the crowds and lines at CostCO, but I will get all my prescriptions at CostCo from now on.

She was failing 2 subjects and was in danger of having to repeat them both. DD is gifted so it&#39;s not like she&#39;s even trying. When I saw her grades about 3 weeks ago, I went into school to see her guidance counselor. I asked him to remove her for next semester and all future semesters from all honor classes and put her in regular classes where she could pass with doing nothing. I told him that the stress was not good for any of us and that I was tired of the whole issue and just couldn&#39;t deal with it anymore. I told DD that if she wanted to just get by and do nothing with her life, fine with me. I told her that I felt she should join the army after school and be proud to represent her country. She said she thinks she wants to cut hair. Her guidance counselor looked at her FCAT scores and had a fit and told her she&#39;s off her rocker and needs to aim very high- University of Miami with academic and music sholarship. He refused to take her out of honors classes and said he wants her to check in with him on a regular basis. Well, since that day, her grades have taken an upward trend. He told her she should be getting A, not D and F. I&#39;m just keeping my fingers and toes crossed, hoping that maybe someone has finally gotten through to her. We&#39;ll see. The semester ends next Thursday. At least now that she&#39;s not failing anything, I can sleep  at night. Why do our kids do these things to us??? My roots have gone from gray to white the last couple of weeks. Thank God for Lady Clairol.<br />\n<br />\nHave a great day, Crazies. I will since DD has a band practice after school so my day will be longer.

I don&#39;t know why he even stopped by there, he knew from the salesman that the sale ended today and he knew before we even went there how much it cost, and the money truly isn&#39;t an issue.

On Saturday night a local store (large chain store) had a Lottery - They had received 120 of the precious toys and were going to hold a lottery and call 20 names per hour over a 6 hour period so folks could purchase one of them.  You had to be in the store to win and since I had better things to do than stand around for 6 hours I decided there would be NO Elmo this Christmas.    Well apparently others felt just like me and they had a very bad turnout for the first 2 hours and then no one for the rest.  Result:  they had Elmos all over the place and put them out for general sale - no crowds, no pushing, in fact from what I   hear they still had some when they closed last night.  To top that off while I was shopping Jim found the perfect little tree for us - it is standing in the corner waiting for the lights which we will put on today and granddaughter will help us decorate it tomorrow.  Today her Pre-School is walking to the town square to sing Christmas carols at the Nativity set up in the square.

My DH and I went to our neighbor’s 50th wedding anniversary and it was wonderful, lot of family and friends.  It was amazing to see their wedding photos, and how young they looked.  Tom and Sheila are a great couple, Sheila has had Alzheimers for the past 7 years and I have never seen a more devoted and loving husband than Tom.  She basically can’t take of herself, but Tom has been there with her all the way, no nursing home for Sheila.  On warm days he has her in the wheelchair and walks around the neighborhood and every Saturday he takes her out to dinner, even though he has to feed her.  When my other neighbor renewed their wedding vows, Tom do not come alone, he brought Sheila with him.  He looks at her with such much love; it brings a tear to my eye.  I really admire him for his commitment and patience.<br />\n<br />\nJoey, to your question. According to Tom, the biggest change has been “peopleâ€Â and the way they treat each other.  He thinks that there is some much hatred in the world today because of differences in race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., he said there were some biases back in his day, but nothing like it is today.  He is troubled with the fact that so many children are now latch keys kids, (in his day there was always a parent home to greet the child after school) but with the event of single parents, that is not always possible these days.  He is also concerned about the rate of divorce, he says that no one stays together anymore; they get tired of each other and want to try something new.  The fact that they are some many violent video games alarms him, and it seems that every kid has some sort of play station or other, they go home and that’s the first thing they want to do.  He is also amazed at the advance of technology, cell phones, blackberry’s, PDAs, iPods, etc., back in the day you were lucky to have a radio in the house.','mercedes','mercedes','2006-12-18 16:36:36',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(148076,2066,1,18,145609,'2006-12-18 18:03:30',NULL,'','Mercedes sounds like Tom may have put his finger on part of the problem.. thanks ..','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2006-12-18 18:03:30',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(148091,334,1,18,145609,'2006-12-18 20:53:28',NULL,'','Afternoon all&#33; Spent all day cooking baking yesterday.

Karen, as always, great pics of the little guy.  Princess, I am now thinking that Greg may have gotten me a new digital camera instead of a GPS.  We bought ours about 5 yrs. ago (back when they were very expensive) and even though it is an Olypmus, I am always complaining about it it.  It was supposed to be some red eye reduction thing, but there is a delay from the time you click the button and the time it takes the pic and if I am taking pics of the dogs or grandson, they are gone before it actually takes the pic.  Well, we are in the midst of a full fledged blizzard.

All schools are closed, most airlines have cancelled fights in and out of Denver and the news said they expect the airport will completely close shortly.  Glad I went and stocked up at the grocery store yesterday.  As I do not drive in this, I assume I will not leave the house until this weekend.

My younger son is at work, I have been on IM with him, but he has no trouble also as he takes the train to work.  He said that they were going to be sending them all home shortly though.

We do not have any traditional meal for New Year&#39;s Eve or Day, so Greg will just get whtever I feel like making.  Jeannette, I always find finger foods easy. For Christmas Eve, I made Broccoli Bites, Fried Ravioli, deviled eggs, 2 long sub sandwiches (one ham and one turkey) and cut them in about 2 inch slices, shrimp cocktail, tortilla roll-ups and Lil&#39; Smokies in BBQ sauce (best not to eat those with your fingers).  Also made some queso and served with tortilla chips.  Clean up is easy and people can mill around chatting, while eating.  Right now the sun is shining and the best thing is that it isn&#39;t snowing.  I need to get out and run a few errands today as I have been housebound for a few days so once Greg is thru playing in the snow on his ATV, I will ask him to take me out into the real world.  Maria, my best advice would be to take more luggage - I have never figured out how to consolidate.  Joey, your suggestion of onboard laundry wouldn&#39;t work for me because for a 7 day cruise, I have to take about 30 outfits because a girl just never knows what she will be in the mood to wear and I don&#39;t wear the same thing twice on a cruise anyway.  We do have free laundry service on our upcoming cruise I think - I seem to remember that was a perk of the Platinum club on Carvnival.  I did get all the decorations down and the only sign of Christmas still visible, is the tree box sitting at the top of the basement stairs.  It is very big and heavy so Greg will need one of the boys to help him carry it down - the first one who shows up here, is the winner&#33;  It will undoubtedly be Chris as he usually comes by every weekend.  He knows his dad and I always go out to lunch on Saturday and Sunday, so he usually times his visits so he can get a free meal.  I always enjoy him going out to eat with us - he has one of the most wonderful personalities and keeps us laughing with his tales.

I think I ended up only wearing about 7 of them at the most - stuck with the most comfy sandals most of the time.

It is a refrigerator that we keep down there , not our chest freezer which is also down there, but it was full.  Greg takes frozen dinners to the office everyday for lunch and I had just stocked up on them last Saturday.  There was also frozen meat in there and it was already thawed out and warm, so I have no idea how long it has been out, but it was working last Saturday when I took everything down there.  I had just bought 2 gallons of milk also on Saturday and they were in that refrigerator.  I told my son that I would like to take the one from my kitchen now down there and get a stainless steel one for up here but my son said we really need to get a smaller one like we had down there because they will have to take it down a flight of stairs, turn on a landing and then go down another 5 stairs and the basement stairs are not all that wide.  I will just have to see what Greg wants to do, but I imagine we will be appliance shopping.  Oh well, I guess it served it&#39;s purpose because we have had it for over 25 yrs.

I know you will be heading to Texas soon - I wanted to mention that last Spring we went to San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Padre Island in the RV - it was my favorite trip of all time...if you guys are going to be in any of those areas, let me know and I will give ya&#39; some tips.  Okay, guys, I am going to be brave today - I am going to the grocery store...first of all, I have no diet dinners left as they all thawed and I am determined to stick to &quot;the plan&quot; and it is supposed to dump a few more inches on us tonight so need to get some things.  Our neighborhood is still extremely snowpacked and icy but Greg says once you get to the main road, it is clear and the grocery store is only about 3 blocks once I get out of the neighborhood, so I am just going to take it very slow until I hit the clearing.  Mary Lou, please keep us posted on Heather&#39;s progress.

I didn&#39;t take my sleeping pills last night - I thought I was tired enough to sleep, plus I hate being in the house alone overnight.  I wanted to be able to hear and the pills knock me out.

I will take them tonight for sure.

Shari, I am am glad to know I am not the only one who feels that way about being alone in the house.  I did take my sleeping pills last night and I think I conked out around 1:00 and didn&#39;t wake up until 10:00 this morning.  My son came down and took me to dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant, then he took me to the video store and bought &quot;The Devil Wears Prada&quot; for me so I could watch it last night (been wanting to see it, but didn&#39;t get around to watching it last night).  When we got back to the house, Deal or No Deal was coming on so he stayed to watch it.  As much as I enjoy his company and I think it was so sweet of him to drive an hr. to take care of old mom, I was ready for him to leave because I wanted to finish laying my new floor.  After he left at 9:00, I worked on it until 10:30.  I finished, all I have to do today is cut that metal strip that goes across the doorway - don&#39;t know what they are called, but I am sure you know what I mean - goes on the floor to divide the 2 different kinds of flooring.  After I finish that today, I am going to finish that one section of wall - which is going to take 3 coats of paint.  Want to get all my projects done today so I can do a good cleaning tomorrow - I had to throw everything out of 2 closets so I could tile inside of them so need to sort thru that stuff.  Greg will be home tomorrow night - I can&#39;t wait.  When we flew to Texas last month, Greg forgot to take his pocket knife out before we got out of the car and of course, security took it.  I bought him another one and put it in his stocking.  Tues., he called me after he had boarded the plane and said he had forgotten again and so lost that one too.  I went and bought him another one yesterday.  I told him last night that was the last one I was going to get him - he said he would try to not give that one away.  Robert, are you thawing out any down there yet?   Keith, hope you and Rita have a wonderful day - you seem like such a great couple.

Since I had to take things out of closets so I could lay the new flooring, I decided not to put the things we don&#39;t really back in.  I have 5 bags of stuff ready for a charity to pick next week and I filled several bags with stuff that wasn&#39;t even worth giving away, and hauled them out to the curb last night as today was trash day.  Greg will be so surprised - we have a very large coat closet in the hall (12 ft. long x 3 ft. deep - I know the measurements as I just laid flooring in there so had to take accurate measurements).  It was stuffed to the gills before - one of those you opened the doors at your own risk...now it is almost empty.  Also cleaned out the linen closet.  I guess I can&#39;t really call it spring cleaning, but if it brings it my way, I won&#39;t complain.  My next job is to tackle one of the upstairs bedrooms - when my son moved out last year, everything he didn&#39;t want to take with him, ended up there, and then I found some things in the back of the closet that belong to my older son, who moved out 6 yrs. ago when he got married.  He said he doesn&#39;t want any of that stuff and doesn&#39;t want to go thru it, so guess who gets to.  I have decided if we haven&#39;t used it in the last year, we don&#39;t need it, so will be getting rid of lots of stuff.

Jackie, as much fun as it sounds and I know Greg would love it, I am not sure I could ever fulltime.  Our motorhome has all kinds of storage space, and when we first bought it, I though I would never use all that space and now every nook and cranny has stuff in it, and that is just for short term trips.  Every basement compartment is full too.  I am sure you have it down by now though, what you do and do not need.  Guess I could get rid of the board games, card games and jigsaw puzzles I have stored in the hutch as Greg is not a &quot;game player&quot; and they have never once been used while on the road.  Hope the weather in Texas has improved now that you are there.  There will be cruise ships in port today, so you will probably get to see them.  Mary Lou, enjoy your night away with hubby.  Maybe you can get the casino to give you enough winnings to pay for another cruise.  Greg finally got home about 12:30 a.m. - 5 hrs. late.  He was still running on EST so it was 2:30 in the morning to him.  He was exhausted, but hungry and so I made him a sub sandwich and after he ate it, he went right to bed.  He got really rundown on his trip and is now sick.  He took TheraFlu and pain reliever all day yesterday and said he is feeling worse today.  As it is snowing really hard, I think it is best that we stay inside where it&#39;s warm today.  Youngest son, Chris, called and he is on his way down - I would rather he not make the trip with the roads the way they are, but he said that he has no problem in his jeep.  It is not him I am worried about as I know that Greg taught both boys very well how to drive in adverse conditions - it is all the idiots out on the road who think you can still go 65 and who end up sliding all over the road.  Robert, hope some of your ice and snow is starting to go away by now.  Mary Lou, if no one has started the Daily Dock by the time I get up tomorrow, I would be happy to, but I am sure someone will beat me to it, as you usually start it at 4 something (a.m.) my time and I don&#39;t usually get up until around 10:00.

I said in my earlier post that he was coming up today.  Well, he drove the hr. from his house to ours, stopped on the way to pick up something for us to eat, plus some meds and juice for his dad.  When he got here, he went outside and shoveled the driveway and the sidewalk, plus went next door and did the same for the elderly gentleman who lives there and checked the windshield wiper fluid in all of our vehicles, took the trash out and a few other chores that his dad usually does. Then he turned around and drove the hr. back down south to meet friends to watch the football game.  As I posted earlier in the week, he had driven up Wed. after he got off work to take me to to dinner while Greg was out of town, which I know made a long day for him because he didn&#39;t get back home until after 10:00.  Greg and I were just talking about what a great kid he is.  I guess he might take exception to being called a kid - he will be 25 in May.  I know I have posted this pic before, but here it is again so you can see who it is I am going on and on about - by the way, that is my dog in the pic, I don&#39;t think he is the type to own a froofy dog, although he loves all ainimals.  He almost died in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and it put his education on hold for a year, as he went thru 3 surgeries during that time, but he is back in school working on his master&#39;s degree and holds a position in accounting management.   Okay, enough already....but I am a mom and that is what we do - brag on our kids....<br />\n&lt;img alt=&quot;alt text&quot; src=&quot;http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/chrissadie7-7-06-1.jpg&quot; /&gt;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2007-01-22 00:21:54',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(153040,2626,1,18,149607,'2007-01-22 00:49:37',NULL,'','<br />\n<br />\n&lt;strong&gt;And you should Cheryl,you have a real fine son and it tells by the way he was brought up and him adapting that with his values as well <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wink2:\' />  Thats what this Forum is all about&#33; <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wink2:\' /> Family and Cruise Crazies Friends that care as well about your Family and Life&#33; <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':smile:\' /> Way to Go Gregg and Cheryl&#33; <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wink2:\' />  Gregg get well My Friend&#33; <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wink2:\' /> &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;] [/size]','SCIROCCO','SCIROCCO','2007-01-22 00:49:37',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(153140,2,1,18,149607,'2007-01-22 06:15:34',NULL,'','Cheryl, <br />\n    I am so happy to read about such a wonderful young man.

Mercedes, Kaylee is so beautiful, I know you must enjoy your weekends with her.  We haven&#39;t seen our grandson in 2 1/2 weeks, which is the longest we have ever gone without seeing him.  He was sick, then his mom was sick, and now Greg is sick - hopefully we will get to see him this weekend.  I just miss the little guy so much.  I hope you have a wonderful and very happy birthday cruise.  Mary Lou, if you can&#39;t remember how to turn on the stove, just pm me, I am sure I can guide you through it, although with Greg being sick, I have mainy been making soup and oatmeal.  Maybe something easy like hot dogs, tacos or sloppy joes would work out for you - kids usually love them.  Jeannette, hope you get the basement situation sorted out.  We are getting all new flooring laid soon - I wanted all hardwood but Greg wants berber in part of the house - we picked one out that is really nice and is darker than the off-white I was crazy enough to pick out when the house was built 9 yrs. ago. I will have hardwood in the foyer, dining room, kitchen and downstairs guest bath and he will get bereber everywhere else.  Shari, try to stay warm and take care of that leg.  Robert, hope you are starting to come out of the deep freeze there in the DFW area.  How are thngs coming with insurance as far as getting another truck goes?  We have been looking at the new Dodge&#39;s.  Jackie, hang in there - the weather you are experiencing really isn&#39;t normal and hopefully will pass soon.  By the way, you can drive on the beaches around Padre Island, we did on several of them, but there is one that has a sign that says &quot;caution, loose sand&quot; - heed that sign.  I saw it as we were going off the paved road onto the sand and asked Greg what it meant but by then it was too late.  We were buried up to the axles.  A bunch of guys came over and tried to help us dig it out, to no avail.  Then one of them, who had a 4 wheel drive truck - hooked his tow strap up to the back of our car and yanked us out.  He didn&#39;t have any trouble because his truck was sitting on the pavement, so he was able to get traction.

FInally get to see the grandson today.  He was sick a few weeks ago and then his mom was sick and I couldn&#39;t get out and drive over there because of the weather, and last week Greg was sick, so we didn&#39;t think it was a good idea for Scotty to be around him, but everyone is on the mend now and my son is going to bring him over later this afternoon.  We haven&#39;t seen him in 3 weeks - that is the longest we have ever gone without seeing him.  I got him a toy robot which he is going to love, but it does make a lot of noise, so mom probably won&#39;t be too happy with it.  Greg is feeling much better and we even got out of the house for an hr. or so yesterday - just ran up to Chili&#39;s for some lunch.  They bothered him so much from work last week that he does not have to take any &quot;sick time&quot; off, as it will classified as working from home.  Friday, the conference call he was on ended up lasting 10 hrs.  Yesterday he was on a 6 hr. one and he was one starting today at 1:00 - hopefully it will not be a long term one.  He figured out that he spent over 30 hrs. on the phone last week, and probably 20 hrs. on the computer and that wasn&#39;t including the 10 hrs. he spent at the office on Monday, so they got well over their 40 hrs. out of him last week, even though he was very sick.  Mary Lou, I hope your precious grandchildren get well soon...it is so sad when they are sick and there is just nothing you can do to make them feel better.  When my DIL takes Scotty to the dr., she calls them and tells them she is in the parking lot and they can call her when they are ready for Scotty - she swears that is where he picks up most of his germs.

She has had so many health issues, was on radiation last year and recently they discovered that her stomache is full of polyps - the dr. said there are &quot;gillions&quot; of them.  They removed 6 a few months ago and she was so sick for the next week.  He said he didn&#39;t think her body could take removing more than that at one time (I am no dr. but seems to me like it would be best to just get tham all out at once).  Anyway, they are going back in today to remove some more.  He said he cannot leave them there because there is the possibility they could turn to cancer.  She felt so bad after the last time, that she is very apprehensive about today.  I hope they get her all fixed up and feeling well enough to do our cruise in Nov.

Princess, the pattern is made by NEW LOOK (which is a division of Simplicity).  It is pattern number 6178 and says right on the package &quot;EASY&quot;.   I got it at JoAnn&#39;s but I think WalMart carries New Look also.  There is also a spaghetti strap shirt and dress pattern included, but I thnk I will probably just wear a tank top.  I bought some sandals at Kohl&#39;s at the end of the season that have the orangy color of the skirt in them.  I had no idea what I would wear them with, but they were very cute and on clearance, so couldn&#39;t pass them up, so will wear them with the skirt.  I also bought another material that is mainly blue that also has cruise ships on the border but it is a different pattern than this one, so will get started on that one as soon as I finish Greg&#39;s shirt.  Princess, looks like, from our tickers, that you will be sailing the day before we do in Nov.  We got down to -18 last night and another 3-4 inches of snow, so I hope that those predictors of an early spring were right.

How is everyone this morning?  It is already 10 degrees here in Pa so I guess a warming trend is on the way LOL - would be fine but it is snowing which apparently no one saw coming.   I have no idea how much we should expect but do know schools are once again on a 2 hour delay.<br />\n<br />\nYesterday I went and did all my shopping for the weekend - came out of the store to find my cell phone (fully charged) dead - some problem with my supplier - the same one that had me without DSL for 3 days.  Had no phone service all afternoon.  It was nice and quiet.  However, went to DD&#39;s house to drop off the groceries since I will be cooking at her house for the party and came out and car battery was dead.  I know Jim says it was well overdue - it was the original battery in our 98 Explorer - but it was 2 degrees out at the time.  I carry a portable cable jumper with me but guess what - that also was dead.  So you can see I had a wonderful day yesterday.  Thank goodness son-in-law got the car jumped while I sat inside with the grandkids and Jim went last night and got me a new battery.  I can hardly wait to see what today brings.  LOL  Hopefully things will be better.<br />\n<br />\nWhat is happening in your little corner of the world?  If you must venture out stay safe and bundle up.
