I saw my surgeon this morning and he signed me out of work because he wants me to continue my PT for another 4 weeks, as I'm still having trouble going up and down stairs, and since a great deal of my work requires stair climbing, he thought it was best not to send me back to work just yet.

Here's a spooky thought, my first day back at work might just be, Halloween Day!!!

Hi Everyone!

There is a lot of discussion with the Ship of Fools characters about whether there would be a land meeting before or after our Castaway Cruise. Since school has started before labor day the last two years, I want to be careful about scheduling.

Crowds will definitely be less after the cruise rather than before our cruise but I really like the idea of resting after running around the parks for a week or so. What are others thinking?

My family cruised in August and are cruising again on this cruise. We've chosen to visit WDW the week prior to the cruise and then spend Friday night at the Radisson.

Hello Everyone,,wow this has been a very busy thread lately.. School started, my business is flouishing,, Daniel is playing football.. Jaclyn is in love mode,.. and the best news is OUR CRUISE IS PAID IN FULL!!!!

been working my butt off here to get it done,, but 2 rooms on deck 5.. wahoo!!!

Today, Daniel helped me move my "OFFICE" down to my craft/his science room. Its a bit cramped but its a lot better than my desk upstairs that is busier than GRAND CENTRAL!!

Jaclyn is flying to VIRGINIA this coming FRIDAY to visit with KAREN for the long weekend..

Marty finally started PT after having the back surgery in JUNE.. I have had to have a few minor surgeries as well.. one on my right foot again.. and a more minor one as well.. Lets just say its hurts to sit,,lol

Congrats on having the cruise paid off

 

[Verandah Man]

Congrats on getting the cruise paid in full Doreen!!! I'm half-way there!!! We just got our real estate tax rebate on Saturday, I'll be applying that to our cruise balance this coming week!!!

So far, our plans are: arriving in Florida a few days before the cruise, and staying a few days after the cruise. Since we have a place about 90 minutes from the port, we will most likely be staying there, except for the night before the cruise, as we already have a room reserved at the Radisson. I like waking up Saturday morning knowing we are only "minutes" from the ship!!!

WHO YOU CALLING "OLD", SISTER?

Glad to hear things are going so well for you. Stan asks me all kinds of questions about your jewelry. He thinks you make it. You just distribute it, don't you? Send me a book if you want to.

The "been-around-a-long-time",

Hey gang!

Figured that I better check in and let you guys know that I'm still alive and kicking (kinda). Things still haven't slowed down much for me. Work has been crazy. We're behind schedule and I've been putting in insane hours (45 - 50 per week). And as a result came down with a severe cold/flu last week. It's getting better, but I'm still trying to hack up a lung every morning. At least it didn't settle into bronchitis this time - Thank God!

Devin started school right after Labor Day. He has really surprised his father and I. We spent years telling him, but it really seems to have registered this year, that he has a whole lot more free time in the evening if he actually works on his school work at school.

I took Devin to his first rock concert a couple of weeks ago. We have an outdoor amphitheater along the Columbia River gorge mid-state, about 3.5 hours from my house. It is an old vinyard that was converted into a concert venue about 25 years ago. It's absolutely beautiful. The stage is about 100 feet in front of the dropoff into the gorge and is surrounded by a natural amphitheater. People sit on blankets on the grass. It's totally cool. (I had never been there before.) We saw REO Speedwagon, Foreigner and Styx. It was a 5-6 hour concert. Devin was totally amused to see all of these middle aged folks rocking out like teenagers. We had a really good time at the show and camped out (part of the concert package I got - there is a campground adjacent to the amphitheater) before driving home the next morning.

Well, I guess that I better go. I have to get to bed since I have lots to do at work tomorrow. After this long as #2 in command, I've decided that I have absolutely NO desire to get into management. I'd rather keep my head (and backside) down in the trenches.

Take care all and I'll yak at ya later!
