You're right Jeanie, they have had a good life, I guess that's what makes their situation now so hard to deal with...my head knows nothing stays the same and time marches on, etc., but my heart wishes otherwise. I just sometimes have a pity party about the whole thing!! Yes, we leave for Hawaii on the 17th and will be back on the 26th...Thanksgiving dinner will be fish and pineapples? yum I'm looking forward to the warmth and the sunshine and just relaxing. The boys have several dives planned, I have some shopping planned and we're raising the flag at the Arizona on the 18th, but other than that, just vegetation!! Ok, I'm off to de Halloween my house, clean my house and then work a basket auction at the hospital...did I mention my Mother in Law comes tomorrow? Jerry turns 50 on Wednesday and she's coming in to surprise him (he knows)! Unfortunately, it's suppose to be cool and rainy for like the next 10 days....welcome to Fall in the Pacific Northwest!! Love, Jamie
