This week is draggggging by but I&#39;m sure time will start flying once we board the Explorer.  Today is Jim&#39;s last day of work so he can mow the lawn and get a few things done before we leave on Friday.  One of the great things about his job is it is a 2 man job (one works one week - one works the next) but the bank doesn&#39;t really care who is there as long as someone shows up.  Tony agreed to work a few extra days for him so he will finish work this afternoon.<br />\n<br />\nRose - Glad you found a new dress - that always helps me feel a little better.  Hope you get your packing done soon.  I&#39;m sure you will have good and bad days ahead of you when you get back so I hope you can relax and enjoy this cruise.  Actually Jim did quite well packing - he had enough clothes packed but had too many white socks and not enough dark ones and too many golf type shirts for port days and not enough tee shirts.  All in all he could have managed with what he had packed.  <br />\n<br />\nJenn - Have fun in the garden.<br />\n<br />\nRobert - and what is wrong with Annie packing 50 pairs of shoes and 14 gowns???  Sounds like a great plan to me.  You never know what kind of mood you might be in on formal night and just might not feel like wearing the first one you picked out.  haha<br />\n<br />\nMercedes - hope all goes well with your tests.  When you say you always travel with your  epi-pen do you mean you put it in your checked luggage or your carry on.   Heather has an epi- for her diabetes and I&#39;m not sure where she should pack it.   Of  course it does not make much sense to pack it in her checked luggage if she should need it.  I will call RC later today but find that you can get 3 different answers from 3 different people there.  <br />\n<br />\nHope everyone has a special day and don&#39;t forget to  <img src=\'http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':smile:\' />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2007-08-15 12:52:06',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(220871,2613,1,18,214683,'2007-08-15 14:37:51',NULL,'','Good Morning:<br />\n<br />\nMary Lou, I pack it in my carry on.

Very quiet here today, isn&#39;t it?  Thought I would check in before I head out to run my errands.  I have some sewing I need to get done, but just can&#39;t seem to get in the mood.  When we were on our trip, we drove along old route 66 and in the very first gift shop we went in, they had a tropical style shirt, but instead of oceany scenery, it had route 66 signs and the places it went thru.  Greg wears a lot of those hawaiian shirts and when he saw that one, he really liked it.  He thought it was way too expensive so he wouldn&#39;t buy it, but every gift shop we went in along that drive, he would look for that shirt and see how much it was.  After we got home, I found that exact material at JoAnn&#39;s Fabrics and I am going to make him a shirt.  You might remember that I made him the one below about 6 months ago.  I think I remember swearing then that I would never do it again, but the idea of giving him a good surprise outweighs the grief that first one caused me.....<br />\n<br />\n&lt;img alt=&quot;alt text&quot; src=&quot;http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/cherylfuller/Gregsshirt.jpg&quot; /&gt;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2007-08-20 19:14:18',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(223851,2549,1,18,214683,'2007-08-20 22:40:58',NULL,'','cheryl..... can i have one too...

Had beautiful weather but hot, hot hot all the way til about 4PM on Saturday when it clouded over but didn&#39;t rain.  It remained that way til we arrived back at 7:30 Sunday morning.

We will keep all of them in our prayers.  Have a safe trip to Oklahoma.<br />\n<br />\nIt has indeed been a busy morning here.  Ashleigh got on the bus with little more than a  good-bye wave to us.  By the time we got TJ into his carseat though we lost sight of the bus.  Deb then went crazy because to lose site of the bus that quickly &quot;The bus driver had to be flying.&quot;  After looking around for a few minutes we decided to go right to the school and there we waited, and waited and waited.  Deb was absolutely frantic when the bus didn&#39;t show up for 45 minutes.  The kids were late for their first day of school.   I tried to tell her it was the first day and perhaps the driver didn&#39;t know the route.  She was not buying that at all.  Actually when the bus did arrive and Ash got off, she was smiling and as happy as could be.  We will see how she is when she gets off the bus around 3PM.    Very long, trying morning and as of now Deb is swearing Ash will not be taking the bus anymore but she promised me she would let her try it for the rest of the week.  <br />\n<br />\nOn the other end of our big day Caitlin failed her driving test.  She said the instructor started yelling at her the minute she got in the car.  She really is a good driver and was only worried about the parking part of the test.  She is very disappointed but already made another appointment so we will have to get her up here to Pa. and let Jim teach her.   He is our official family/friends driving instructor and even taught Cait&#39;s mom how to drive.  <br />\n<br />\nTime to get a few things done before we go wait for the school bus again.

Any big plans for the long weekend for anyone?  We plan on having a quiet weekend - nothing special planned.  School is actually closed for the labor day weekend already so Ash is happy about that.  She has learned a new word in school and that word is &quot;Stupid&quot;  (a definate no-no word in their house.)   At any rate, school is stupid, they have stupid rules in the playground and they teach you how to count using a stupid teddy bear.  Yesterday the entire school had to go to Church and &quot;Every single kid in school went to church, all the teachers went and some of the parents went and guess what ..... God didn&#39;t come to mass - only the priest.&quot;  Seems we will have to concentrate on her religious education a bit more.   Jim &amp; I had a very hard time keeping a straight face over that one.   <br />\n<br />\nCarmen - hoping all goes well with your ultrasound.  Keep us posted.  <br />\n<br />\nRose - We miss hearing from you but know you are swamped right now.  Hope Howie&#39;s office is coming along.

The family has to buy a lot of them and then try to sell them..just another money making addition to the enormous tuition DD is paying for Kindergarten but they are for a grocery store I shop at so I might as well wait til next week.  <br />\n<br />\nCheryl - so glad that you are back home.  I&#39;m sure you are tired from your long and emotional trip.  I&#39;m glad Chris will be there with you when Greg goes on his trip.   How is Scotty doing in school?  Is he happy with his teacher and classmates?  <br />\n<br />\nRose - it sounds like your office is coming along great.  Have a great visit with your Mom &amp; Dad today.  I&#39;m sure it will be a very long week for all of you but we are keeping all of you in our prayers.  <br />\n<br />\nMaria - have a great time with your family this weekend.  BBQ&#39;s are a lot of work but also a lot of fun.<br />\n<br />\nJenn - Don&#39;t head to the pier just yet.   You need to wait for Crazie.  She will be un&lt;strong&gt;bear&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;] ably angry if you leave without her.  Sounds like you have big plans for your yard.   I&#39;m happy if Jim gets all the grass mowed before it is time to start mowing again.  <br />\n<br />\nJackie - can&#39;t wait to hear all about Mt. Rushmore.  Sounds like you have a super busy month ahead of you.  <br />\n<br />\nTonia - How was work last night?  Was it good being back - I&#39;m sure you were happy to go.    Just don&#39;t overdue it with that wrist.  <br />\n<br />\nRobert - thanks for the kind words.  As for watching some football with the ladies in your life - I think I would prefer for Jim to watch the football and I will watch the sales in the local mall.   LOL<br />\n<br />\nCarmen - Hope all is OK with you.   We miss hearing from you each morning.<br />\n<br />\nTime to start my day - make today special and share a smile.

I have been making and canning salsa again this afternoon - 8 more quarts to add to my collection.  As we were gone for several days, Greg brought me in a big bucket of tomatoes from the garden and also a 5 gallon bucket completely filled to the top with green beans.  I will wait until Big Brother comes on, so I can snap them as I watch the show.  It sounds like all of you are keeping very busy.  We leave 2 months from today to head to Galveston for our cruise.  It will take us 2 days to get there and we will be spending the night before embarkation at a hotel not far from the port.  At Greg&#39;s uncle&#39;s funeral, they ran a slide show and it took me a little off guard how much he and my FIL looked alike.  Dad will be 76 in a few weeks and it struck me that we may not have all that much more time with him.  He truly is like a father to me and that will be very difficult for me when the time comes.  He and hubby kept teasing my sister in law and myself, saying that the pastor at Uncle Earnest&#39;s church was going to make us sit in the back or maybe even outside.  His uncle was pentecostal, and the women don&#39;t wear jewelry, make-up, pants or cut their hair.  I had bought a new black pantsuit at Dillard&#39;s the day before we left for Okla, and also a black lace blouse to wear under the blazer, and of course, some new black high heels.   My SIL and I both had on black pant outfits and make-up and jewelry (we both like the bling) -  but I quickly pointed out to her that she was a bigger sinner than me because my hair is almost to my waist and her&#39;s is very short.  Okay, as for Scotty and school - I had told you how he got the good citizen of the day award on the first day, and I knew something must be amiss there - I am imagining that it must be a classroom full of hooligans in order for him to be the best behaved.  Anyway, I called him Wed. night, when we arrived at Greg&#39;s parent&#39;s, to see how his day had gone.  He informed me that he had received 3 yellow cards that day.  I asked him why he got them and he said for talking and for not listening.  When he gave the phone to his dad, I asked my son what the deal was, and he said that if the teacher gets onto them, they get a warning and then if they do the same thing again, they get a yellow card.  Each yellow card they get on a given day takes 5 minutes away from their recess time, which is 15 minutes long.  As he got 3, Scotty lost all of his recess that day.  I think it made an impression on him though, because he proudly informed me on both Thursday and Friday, that he had gotten green cards those days.  A green card means they had a very good day and did not get in trouble once.  Well, it is time to take my salsa jars out of the canner - hope you all have a wonderful evening.','Gregswife','Gregswife','2007-09-03 02:22:50',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(229136,573,1,18,228814,'2007-09-03 07:52:22',NULL,'','HI all - just popping in to say I&#39;m still here lol.

Fewer and fewer crafts each year but the kids had a ball on the rides.  It is so much easier taking them to fairs and such now that TJ has decided the rides are fun.  At Disney earlier this year in a week he went on 2 rides and cried through both.....now he loves them all and even goes on the huge slide (with his Dad of course)<br />\nWe are still (unsuccessfully) trying to find a nice restaurant for dinner tonight for our  Anniversary dinner but Jim says we may end up at Wendy&#39;s - I think I will cook instead.  I can&#39;t believe we have been married for 41 years.  They all said it would never last  and we ended up lasting much longer than they did.   Where has the time gone? <br />\n<br />\n<br />\nCheryl - your canning sounds yummy. I forgot I had another Big Brother fan here.   I can&#39;t believe Dick is still there, he is a sly player but just rubs me the wrong way.   I&#39;m glad things went OK at the funeral even if you  nearly had to sit in the back  of the Church.   I would have done the same though - worn the bling and sat in the back.  LOL<br />\nYour story about Scotty in school was very funny.   So far Ashleigh is doing OK (In that stupid school) - her teacher does the opposite.  There is a chart on the wall and next to each name there are 5 stars of different colors.   Each color means something (I can&#39;t remember what) but you LOSE stars for misbehaving or such.  The last star is red and when that is removed a phone call is made home.  Ash  only had 3 days of school last week but managed to end up with all 5 of her stars still on the chart.  We will see what this week brings as she has school for 4 days.  She will be losing stars for talking - that&#39;s for sure.  <br />\n<br />\nTonia - glad your first day back went OK.   Like everyone else said, please don&#39;t overdo it.  Yes, Ashleigh goes to Private school - not really our choice but out of necessity.  The public schools here changed their cut off date this year from Oct. 1st to Sept 1st. and she missed Kindergarten by 26 days (9/26).  She really was too grown up and too smart to spend another year in Pre-K so when we found out the local Catholic School had a December 1 cut-off they had to jump on it and send her there.   It is costing a small fortune though - lots of &quot;extras&quot; on top of very high tuition to begin with.  <br />\n<br />\nJenn - glad your day with Mom went OK.  Soon you will be away on your cruise - just keep thinking that when things get too bad.   <br />\n<br />\nRose - good luck with the move.   You certainly have a full plate.   Take care of yourself first.<br />\n<br />\nJackie - finally caught up with all your travel logs.   Sorry the heat is bothering you so much.

Something ironic though..........When she started x-ray school it was on 9-11-01 and was a fiasco as she lived on Staten Island then and it was awful as she was stuck in Jersey City right across from the WTC and her kids were on the island and all the bridges were closed so she couldn&#39;t get home to them.<br />\nShe said last night she is a little freaked out that she is starting school on the same day of the week and the same date...........<br />\n<br />\nWell I better get going as our laundry doesn&#39;t do itself either. Have a great day all&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />\n<br />\nCheryl.........I have a friend with fibro so I can understand how you are feeling...I hope you are feeling better soon.<br />\n<br />\nMarylou...........actually Ken is outside cutting what little grass we have left. We still have not had a drop of rain. He is more stressed over the trees than the grass. He has to water them twice a day or we will lose them. A lot of them are trees we planted when we moved in 2 years ago so they are still young trees.<br />\n<br />\nRose............Hope today finds your Mom better. You know our prayers are with you daily.<br />\n<br />\nCarmen.........Nothing worse than a bad back.

Looks like fall may be coming to the high country - the weatherman said we may have seen the last of the 90 degree days.  Mary Lou and any other Big Brother watchers - what did you think of last night&#39;s episode?  I wonder if Zach even realizes that he had the power to completely turn around the game last night and did not take it.  If he had used the POV on either Eric or Jameka, Dick would have been forced to put up Danniele and they could have broken up their alliance.  Zach would have been safe as he was the POV holder, so Dick and Danniele would have been the only ones left and I don&#39;t know if the HOH can put themselves on the block or not, but I wouldn&#39;t think so.  I think it will come down to the Donato&#39;s in the final 2 and I can&#39;t believe that Dick has played the kind of game he has and has made it this far.  If it does come down to them, I think the jury would give it to Danniele.  Not a huge fan of either Jameka or Zach, but I would rather see anyone other than the father/daughter team win.  They usually show what is going on in the jury house, but we haven&#39;t even seen a glimpse of it.  Does anyone have any exciting plans for the weekend?

We just got home from the car dealership.  We now have a 2007 Dodge Ram pickup sitting in our driveway.  I told Greg that he just couldn&#39;t stand it that I got a new car.  The first thing he did when we got home was get out the ramps and drive his atv up into the bed of it to make sure it fit.  Before, when he was going riding with his friends, he would have to go over to the RV storage lot and pick up the ATV trailer, then bring it back home and load his atv on it, then come home and unload it and take the trailer back to storage after he was done.  Now he can just drive it up in the back and be ready to go.  I said I wasn&#39;t going to go out of the house for the next 2 weeks, but he really wanted me to go to the dealer with him.  I had a spot removed on Thursday and now my nose is bandaged up.  I have to wait 2 weeks for the results of the biopsy, but hoping it will be benign.  I had to get injections in my nose to numb it, and while it didn&#39;t feel good, it wasn&#39;t nearly as bad as I had worked myself up to believe it would be.   Hey Jackie, did you know you can watch past episodes of Big Brother online?  Greg had to do that the other day, he was in NYC on business during last Tuesday&#39;s episode.  I went to bed and turned on the tv to watch it, and after it was over, without even thinking about it, I clicked on the &quot;delete&quot; button - wish the DVR was like your computer where you can retrieve things that you have deleted.  Well, I am off to look at those new pics Robert has posted.

How is everyone this morning?  We had a very exciting and nerve wracking night last night.  I was just finishing up the dinner dishes when Deb called that she needed us ASAP.  We went up to find that Ash had fallen in the foyer and split open her chin.  She was chasing TJ and ran through the carpeted family room onto the ceramic tiles in the foyer and went flying.  We  knew immediately from all the blood that this was going to be a run to the ER.  Mike had already left for work so we called him and had him turn around and meet us at the hospital then Deb &amp; I left for the hospital with Ash and left Poppy with TJ.  (WHY I keep asking myself now - I should have stayed with TJ and send big strong Poppy to supervise this ordeal.)  Our poor little girl needed 4 stitches under her chin.  Thank heavens it was under her chin and won&#39;t show.  She was so scared - the Dr. was really good with her but they started before she was completely numb.  They now use some type of gel instead of shots but because the split was so deep it didn&#39;t work and they had to give her several shots - all the time with her arms tied down and her eyes covered.  She was really terrified.  I must admit Deb &amp; I were a little weak kneed through the whole thing.  <br />\n<br />\nCheryl - &#036;300 worth of cookie dough - Wow These schools get you coming and going don&#39;t they.  I know someday Scotty will really thank you for stepping up like that and helping out.  Ashleigh has to sell &quot;Cash Cards&quot; to various stores - fortunately one is to the store we shop at.  She has to sell &#036;2500 worth - and the way it goes the family has to shell out the money to start and if they sell the cards they can keep the money - if not they are out &#036;2500.  There is a whole list of merchants who take the cards and the school gets something like 4% when they cards are redeemed.  I know we will buy more than our share since we shop in Giant anyway but it is just the idea that they HAVE to buy them that irks me.  <br />\n<br />\nBig Brother went as predicted last night.   I will absolutely scream if  either of the Denatos win but I don&#39;t like Zack either.  Should be an interesting show on Tuesday<br />\n<br />\nTonia - thanks for asking - Deb is doing OK.  Still running around in her very professional business suit and a pair of Crocs since she still can&#39;t get a shoe on the foot but fortunately she has a job where she can sit most of the day.<br />\n<br />\nJenn - Todays the day&#33;&#33;&#33; Hope you, Hugh and Crazie have a great cruise.   Take lots of pics and then put them in the new album Jason started for Crazie.   <br />\n<br />\nRobert - hope you will continue posting here.  I know you are busy but we will really miss you.  I know you have a lot going on with the approaching weddings.  When will they be?  Will it be a double wedding or 2 seperate ones?  (Get out that checkbook Father of the Brides- my son says that is all he does recently and his DD&#39;s wedding is not until next May)<br />\n<br />\nRose - I can&#39;t believe your Mom is home already- boy they don&#39;t let you stay in the hospital long do they.  Although it probably is for the best to get the patient out of there and home ASAP.  Good luck with the move - after that I hope you will be able to rest a bit.  <br />\n<br />\nJackie - Branson sounds like a great stop.   Are you seeing any special shows while you are there?

The kids feel so inadequate that they weren&#39;t able to attain the &quot;goal&quot; - It&#39;s a shame that schools get away with it, maybe the PTA&#39;s should think long and hard&#33;&#33;','zebra','zebra','2007-09-13 02:49:47',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(232560,488,1,18,228814,'2007-09-13 13:20:35',NULL,'','THURSDAY - September 13th[/size]<br />\n<br />\nGood Morning Crazies - it is a bit nippy here this AM  only in the low 40&#39;s right now and pitch dark outside at 6AM.

I guess when she first fell she didn&#39;t know what was going to happen but now she knew for 5 days they were taking them out and she was awful.

We were booked for the Duck Tour in Ketchikan and as we walked off the ship we passed the Holland American berth.  Two of the Ducks (amphibious vehicles) were parked and people were getting off.  On the ground was a blue tarp that turned out to be a passenger that crossed in front of the &quot;Duck&quot;.  She died on the spot.  What a sad day for whomever she was travelling with.  The Ducks ride really high so I&#39;m surmising she walked in front and sort of under and the drive didn&#39;t see her.  It is so easy to let one&#39;s guard down while on vacation.  Needless to say all the Duck tours were cancelled until further notice.  Carnival was very quick to book us onto another tour - ok but boring.

We saw sporadic patches of gold where the apsen were mixed in with the evergreens (guess the pine trees shielded them from some of the winds) but the stands of all aspen were mostly bare.  I will post a few pics after I get them downloaded.  Ringling Bros. Circus is coming to town so I bought 3 tickets today.  I spent a bit more (okay - a lot more) so that we have front row seats.  I wanted our grandson to be able to see it all - he has never been to the circus before.  We go 2 weeks from today.

It was on the cool side. It&#39;s 60 degrees right now.  We had some rain today, and a super clap of thunder that was the loudest I think I&#39;ve ever heard.  I hadn&#39;t heard the weather reports and it just looked like it was raining and not a thunderstorm.   Marc said he saw the lightning bolt and it was really close to us.

I&#39;ve been through the Rockies in the summer when it&#39;s nice and green, and in April one year when we moved out to California and we had to have snow tires on the car to get through the mountains...we did...we hadn&#39;t taken them off yet.  It was kind of scary on that trip, though.  lol  I would love to go through them when the leaves are colorful.<br />\n<br />\nMary Lou...sounds like Ash had a great birthday celebration.

Last month we had nearly 5500 views of our Dock and only slightly under 400 posts so instead of just checking us out - how about posting a line or two and let us get to know each other.  You don&#39;t have to post a lot - just a hi and a few words about your daily life are enough. September really flew by - a very busy month with the kids going back to school and the end of summer.  Once I pull out the Halloween decorations (which I will do later this week) it seems like the rest of the year really flies by.  <br />\n<br />\nWe had a great visit with Heather &amp; Cait yesterday and they brought along more than 300 pics they took on our cruise so it was fun to sit and relive all the fun we had.  They are both doing well and adjusting to college life.  They are just like family here so I was suprised when they &quot;asked&quot; for a soda rather than getting one themselves.  After I got one for Heather she whipped out her sign &amp; sail card with the soda sticker on it.  We all had a good laugh and it set the tone for the day.<br />\n<br />\nJenn - get rid of that nasty flu bug.  Sorry you are feeling under the weather.  <br />\n<br />\nI need to get moving early this morning.   Our busy weekend interupted my fall housecleaning and we are having house guests this weekend and our guest room is the storage room for all the clean curtains and quilts that need to be dealt with.

We have had so many really powerful downfalls this past week but it is the rainy season and at least it&#39;s not a hurricane so I&#39;m not complaining. Last night was a great night- all four of us actually sat and watched a movie together . Of course, I was crocheting and the kids were on the laptops while we watched but at least we were all together. We&#39;re hoping the weather starts to cool off a bit - betwween the heat and my hot flashes - to say the least, It&#39;s Hot&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I&#39;ve been crocheting like crazy - I love making those caps for the chemo patients , and one of the women in my volunteer group just taught me how to make them out of flannel fabric , which the women like even better. I&#39;m also in the process of crocheting my very first sweater. It&#39;s fun to do but chances are good that it won&#39;t fit me or look right on me so that will get donated also- which is fine. I&#39;m also working on finishing up the crazy quilt that I&#39;ve been working on for - ashamed to tell you- about 2 and a half years. It&#39;s my very first time quilting so I went to a quilt group meeting last week and they showed me what I need to do to fix it up and finish it off. So, between CruiseCrazies and all this stuff, I keep very busy. My exercising has fallen off and I have to start that again since I gained a few.
