<b><i>Good morning CruiseCrazies&#33; It&#39;s been a hectic week, however things are starting to settle down. We survived taking our three teenage grand kids to the mall Monday night to pick out their gifts. It was a little surprising how slow it was. I guess they may need a bailout. Just keep those printing presses running&#33;<br />For those not feeling well--GET WELL SOON&#33; Shari, tell Marc to hang in there&#33;<br />Rita has joined the walking wounded as she tipped over while standing on one of our tall dining table stools to put ornaments on the tree. She fell and hurt her knee and calf muscle. She was darn lucky she didn&#39;t break a bone. It hasn&#39;t really slowed her down any as she finished putting up all the decorations. I finished the outside. I also put lights and a tree on our gazebo.<br />We are in the count down mode for our cruise with Rose and Howie. With all the Christmas dinners, dances, and grand kids school programs, this cruise will be our time to kick back and relax&#33;<br />Have a great hump day&#33;</i></b>
