Good morning, everyone&#33;<br />
<br />
Here I am up late again.  <br />
<br />
Cheryl (Gotta Cruz) it is so hard to be a day person when you&#39;re a night person, isn&#39;t it?  It&#39;s hard to get your body time clock to change.  LOL  I stayed up till 5 am yesterday since we had some severe weather, and I wanted to see if we needed to go to the basement.  All is well here.  No damage.<br />
<br />
Mary Lou...congrats on the SDM status&#33;<br />
<br />
Jackie...good luck with your tests.  I had quite a few ear tests years ago, and recently had the Nuclear Stress test.  Mine was normal.  It wasn&#39;t as bad as running on the treadmill.  You have a doctor nearby all the time, as Joey says.<br />
<br />
Kareen...I&#39;m so glad Anne is doing well and will be coming home.<br />
<br />
Cheryl...your version of scampi sounds yummy&#33;<br />
<br />
Joey...I&#39;m so glad you are doing well&#33;<br />
<br />
Mary...beautiful pictures, again.  They make me miss our lake place.  Maybe next year we can rent a cabin up North for awhile.<br />
<br />
Howard...great pictures.  Love the shirt and hat&#33;  Congratulations on the winnings.  I think you can count it as a cruise if you want.   :grin:   I would call it a mini-cruise or day cruise, I think.<br />
<br />
Robert...I would definitely tell them at the doctor&#39;s office that you need to be seen right away.  Don&#39;t worry about talking about troubles here.  We are all friends, and that&#39;s what friends are for.  To be there for each other.<br />
<br />
Mickie..hope it cools off for you.  I love to come to Vegas in the winter or spring.  I haven&#39;t been there for quite a while now.  I think it&#39;s about time we come out and try out our luck.  I&#39;d like to stay at either &quot;Bellagio&quot; or the &quot;Venetian&quot;.  They look like such neat hotels.<br />
<br />
Betty...hope your hip replacement goes well.  Prayers and Hugs&#33;<br />
<br />
Mercedes, Cheryl, Cheryl, Mary Lou, Jackie, Kareen, Joey, Mary, Howard, Robert, Mickie, Betty, and all Cruise Crazies...Have a great day&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
