The rain is coming down in buckets here this morning, well one good thing, it is wet, and not, white!!! 

I just stumbled onto this site. I can't believe how long it is. DH and I and our youngest DD are booked on this repo cruise and are so excited. There are alot of Jersey posters on this thread. DH and I moved to Central Florida (The Villages) from Gloucester County almost three years ago. The kids are still up North in PA (just across the river). We do not miss the snow or ice. I was up in PA for snow this past February. It was nice to sit inside and look out and just enjoy it.

Andy, use caution moving about today, they just issued flood warnings (imminent) for most of S. Jersey
Good Morning Crew! This one is for all our early risers...

Well, we're off the the show again this morning. 8:00 ring time.Jakob wasn't in the ribbons yesterday, but today is a new day.
Then Dad is flying us down to Monteray Bay to visit the aquarium for his birthday. Should be an action packed day!

I know what you're talking about working in the weather (oh and also about the knees). DH spent 32 years working in the gas department of PECO. He's already had surgery on both knees. The weather just makes your jobs harder. I didn't see him for seven days during the blizzard of -- oh, I can't remember what year that was. I lost track of the number of ice storms he was MIA for. He works retail now and that is not much better on the knees.
But before we can concentrate on this cruise we get to enjoy the Magic in two weeks. The whole family (DH and I, two DD's, one SIL and two of the greatest grandkids in the world) are counting the hours till our 4/28 Eastern. This will be our fourth DCL cruise. Once we get back we will be able to begin that countdown for the repo. But, I have to do it quietly because our oldest DD pouts everytime we mention it. It won't be quite the same without the grandkids but there is no way she can miss the start of school year. The grandkids (they are 2 and 4 now) can miss but they frown on the teacher not showing up for the first week. She is taking a sabbatical in 2010 so she is hoping they run another Canal Repo that August. That one will have the whole clan of us aboard.
All day I have been meaning to start getting ready for our cruise but it was such a beautiful day here - 88 and sunny - I spent the afternoon out in my golf cart. Then I planned on just checking in for a "few minutes" on the boards and now here it is three hours later. I better search my computer for my packing list and begin working on it. When I get back I don't know how many pages I will find here. It will take me months to check it all out.

Two more shots from today's rodeo. I'm hoping tomorrow to get some better ones of the saddle bronc riders and the barebacks. These are bareback.
Oh...kind of interesting....has anyone ever seen the show "Cowboy U"? Rocco, the head boss, was in our Stockman's Club tonight.

Hi There Barbara,
I currently live in Gloucester County. I think the sn*wstorm you were referring to was the Blizzard of '96 when we received 30.7 inches of that white stuff, am I correct? My mom also now lives in Lake County, FL just across the St. Johns River from Volusia County. OK, everyone start singing, "It's a Small World Afterall."![]()
What part of Gloucester County were you from?
Glad to hear you will be joining us in August 2008.................![]()
Happy Birthday
