Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />We have had some beautiful weather here in the Twin Cities&#33;  In the 70s, and close to 80 on a few days, and mild humidity.  Marc and I are feeling better...have had a bout with a virus and we both got bronchitis and needed inhalers.  I also had a sinus infection after.  I am still going for my back therapy. It seems to be helping.  Little Mckenna was a good girl at her Baptism and the party afterward.  So were little Isabelle and Avery.  I said a few prayers that they would be good in church since we were right up front.  LOL<br /><br />We have some of the girls and grandkids coming over this Sunday for a BBQ.  We will be gone over Labor Day Weekend for a wedding (my niece) that will be &quot;Up North&quot; by the Brainerd Lakes area.  Lots going on.  I managed to get a few things done around the house.  Got a linen closet cleaned out that was really bugging me to get organized, and a few other things.<br /><br />Debbie...two kittens will be so wonderful for Jessie, and for you and Zach and Evin.  I would love to get another kitten or cat, but my allergies seem to be worse.  There are so many wonderful animals that need a loving home.  I wish I didn&#39;t have these darned old allergies, but I&#39;m so happy that we could give Jinx and Willie a loving home for so long.<br /><br />James and Donna...good luck with your move.  Donna...it must be so hard to say goodby to friends and co-workers.  Enjoy your time with friends this weekend.<br /><br />Martha...hope &quot;Danny&quot; doesn&#39;t bring too much rain or trouble.  Congratulations on your certification for infectious disease.  We need dedicated people like you.  I&#39;m a little concerned about taking the H1N1 (swine flu) shot.  I remember back in the &#39;70s when they made up swine flu shots so fast, and many people got guillian barre syndrome and either were paralyzed or died.  <br /><br />Chris...enjoy your long weekend, and your friend&#39;s birthday party&#33;<br /><br />Falina...we are doing well...thanks for asking.  I&#39;m so happy for you that you like your job.   7 A.M. is a little early for me...LOL...glad I&#39;m retired....LOL  Not glad that I&#39;m getting older, though.  LOL<br /><br />Mercedes...hope you&#39;re not working too hard&#33;<br /><br />Rose...hope you caught up on your sewing and scrapbooking and all.  It&#39;s so nice when you have a chance to catch up.<br /><br />Ed...love the poem &quot;Rainbow Bridge.&quot;  It always makes me cry, but then feel better, too.  Good luck with your physical.  Hope you find the right hotel...have always wanted to go to Venice&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou...hope &quot;Danny&quot; doesn&#39;t do any real harm.  That must have been so fun to watch TJ play soccer.  Happy 43rd anniversary&#33;<br /><br />Shaunna...looks like you are sometimes a night owl, too&#33;  Hope you and Steve kissed and made up.  Glad you had a nice time at the restaurant.  Stay cool in that heat&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...we have DSW shoe stores around here, but have never been to one.  I will have to check them out.  Sounds like you found some good buys.<br /><br />Jackie...that&#39;s so cute that little Luc keeps kissing the same girl in the picture.  He has found his first girlfriend.  LOL  When I was young (not as young as Luc) I used to go kiss the TV set when a certain &quot;Texas Ranger&quot; came on.  LOL  Happy Birthday to Candace&#33;<br /><br />Jen...love Maxine&#39;s health diet&#33;  LOL:<br /><br />Steve...hope all went well with the wisdm tooth  Ouch&#33;  I have been lucky on that.

Hope you have a wonderful time.  Hope the perfect job will be there for you when you return.  Bon Voyage&#33;<br /><br />Fred...welcome back from your cruise.
