Hi everyone...<br /><br />The weather has been on the cool side, in the 60s.  It should warm up for the weekend.  I&#39;m still going for therapy on my neck and shoulder three days a week.  Tomorrow is Izzy&#39;s first birthday, also our oldest daughter&#39;s (Marc&#39;s).  Laurie is having a little birthday party for Izzy, so that should be fun.  <br />Marc&#39;s nephew&#39;s 13-year-old son had a terrible sports accident and had brain surgery and is recouperating.  He is having to learn things all over again.  Also his SIL, who is grandma to Marc&#39;s great nephew is battling breast cancer so it&#39;s sad to see them going through so much.  Please keep them in your prayers.  <br /><br />Cheryl...great news that you are healing so well&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl, Rose, Karla, and AMC friends...that was sooo sad about Julia...couldn&#39;t help the tears.  Now Tad has to pull through to hear that Kathy is really Kate.   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />   That was quite a helicopter scene for a soapie.<br /><br />Ed...watch out for those winds now with the new patio furniture&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou...hope the battle with Home Depot was won&#33;  Hope it doesn&#39;t rain on the wedding day&#33;  Hope all goes well with the campaign.<br /><br />Sue...so glad you had a great time at your sister&#39;s.  It is really fun to go out in a boat on the lake.  <br /><br />Joey...love the picture of David when he was young.  Sounds like a great deal on the luggage&#33;<br /><br />Andrea...good luck with the kitchen remodeling.  Congratulations to Rachael for her awards&#33;<br /><br />Jen...that would be great if you can get your &quot;little&quot; into the other program.  Glad you didn&#39;t have a long wait for your passports.<br /><br />Kareen...so glad you are doing well.<br /><br />Rose...it&#39;s so great that you can take a break from all the kitchen remodeling and go cruising.  You can rest up a little and come back raring to go with the kitchen.  Hope you have a fabulous cruise&#33;  Bon Voyage&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Steve...that was very sad about your friend and his granddaughter.  I&#39;m sorry to hear about your friend Kay.  I will keep her in my prayers.  Sorry about Lynda&#39;s tooth.  It seems sometimes when it rains it pours.<br /><br />Maria...hope your shoulder is doing better&#33;<br /><br />Debbie and Jerry...hope the weather warms up for your pool classes.  That seems like it&#39;s pretty chilly for Tucson for this time of the year.<br /><br />Jackie...I hope all works out for you and Tony.  It is sure a big decision.  I will keep you in my prayers.<br /><br />Debbie...glad you didn&#39;t blow away at the campsite.  That sounds kind of scary.  Never slept in a tent before, but did have a tent trailer with the hard sides at one time.  Glad you still had a nice time.  Hope your cold is better.<br /><br />Keith...hope your ankle is healing well.  Good luck to your granddaughter and her soccer team&#33;<br /><br />Tonia...yummm peach jam&#33;  Never really liked Spam, but I&#39;m happy that it is still popular.  It&#39;ll keep some people in Minnesota working.   <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 />Have a great day, everyone&#33;<br /><br /><br />
