Good Afternoon, Cruise Crazies&#33;<br />
<br />
The temperature has just gone up to 4 degrees above zero.  At least the sun is out.  lol  I do have to say that this winter I have seen a lot more sunshine than in previous years.  It&#39;s usually way too gloomy for winter here.  Hoping for a warm-up soon.<br />
<br />
Karen and Chris...beautiful picture of the ice palace&#33;  We make an ice palace here, too, in St. Paul, for the winter carnival every year.  I don&#39;t usually go to the winter carnival since I&#39;m not a fan of cold weather, but one year I got brave and went.  It was a year that they built one like in your picture.  It was so beautiful&#33;  <br />
<br />
Mary Lou...it&#39;s a great idea to have a passport for the twins&#33;  <br />
<br />
Joey...Marc has said around 3 years, too&#33;<br />
<br />
Maria and Tonia...thinking of you, and hope you are not in pain with your hands.  <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful day&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
<br />
Stay warm&#33;
