Thanks to leap year we will have one extra day this month to sit and visit.<br /><br />Today is Jim&#39;s b&#39;day so I need to hit the grocery store bright and early.  It&#39;s rainy out here and is supposed to rain all day so there will be no waiting for it to clear.   He has decided he wants king crab for dinner so that makes me happy.   I would love to have dungenese crabs which Carmen and Ray spoke of earlier this week but here on the East Coast that would entail mortgaging our home.   lol  Have a b&#39;day cake all made - just need Ash to come and &quot;help&quot; put the icing on it.  <br /><br />Ray - enjoy your wedding but please be careful.  I don&#39;t think I would enjoy being there.   <br /><br />Carmen  &amp; Joey - better get packing&#33;&#33;  Your cruise is just around the corner.<br /><br />Joey - that was very nice of you to take Carmen&#39;s package to the ship for her.  <br /><br />Carmen - that was especially nice of you to buy gifts for the crew.  What kind of things do you buy for them?  I know they have very limited space.   I always take them International Calling cards - I will never forget one cruise when our waiter had tears in his eyes when he told us he had just spoken to his mother for the first time in 6 months using the card we had given him at the beginning of the cruise.<br /><br />Time for me to get Jim up and maybe even make him some breakfast this morning.   I&#39;l be back in a little while when I can &quot;chat&quot; some more.<br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.
