Good morning, decided to try and get on here & post first thing this morning instead of waiting until afternoon when I have run out of brain cells. Now I just hope the coffee kicks in soon!
Dave, as for banana's getting ripe to fast I've never had much luck with that either. I'm not a huge banana fan and if I buy more than 3 at a time at least 2 of them are going to end up as banana nut bread. Which when bananas were cheap wasn't a bad thing. I've heard those banana tree hanger things help too, but have no clue if they do or not. Tell Kathi I too said the quilt looks amazing!
Pat, I missed the circus last night, but from what I've read so far this morning I don't think a glass of wine would have been enough to be able to sit thru it, more likely would need a case!
Lee, good to hear the Dr. visit went well. It's amazing how drugs can be used for different illness than what they were originally made for. And really interesting to see how many "human" drugs can be used for pets. The Bp meds Scooter takes is human as is the Gabapentin she takes on occasion.
Bill, well I would imagine you are probably heading back to the homestead about now or will be shortly. There sure aren't any lingering goodbyes when the cruise is over, more like here's your bags, hit the road jack! Nice you are coming home with some extra cash in the pocket too!
Planning on getting housework done this morning. This evening is the crafting meeting at church at 5:30 and then choir practice at 6:30. I think this will be my last craft meeting, with choir practice it turns into a pretty long evening. It's been fun, but I will finish my mermaid and call it quits.
I had a meeting with Rev. Lisa yesterday about the retreat weekend & being active in church & she mentioned that she likes her members to have no more than 3 ministries. Otherwise they tend to get burnt out to fast. Since I already have 2 choir & ground crew she suggested I take my time before choosing anything else to become involved with. Of course church dinners, bible study or coffee hour hosting don't count as "ministries" 
I know I rattle on about my church a lot, but outside of family & you folks, I've never been involved with such a kind & caring group of people. There are of course a few that are a little more rough around the edges, but over all it's pretty awesome!
Have a great day all, housework isn't going to finish its self!
