Yesterday we had the most tasteless corned beef I have every cooked - I think the wrapping would have been tastier.   So today we will try again - but Michael will be doing the cooking.   Unfortunately he bought the same brand as I did so I&#39;ll have to report back and let you know.  We were so disappointed and now I&#39;m not even looking forward to reubens with the leftovers.   <br /><br />We ended up not going to the Egg hunt - the fields were so muddy from the heavy rains the day before and we don&#39;t need the kids sick for Easter but my neighbor reports a good turnout and a lot of fun and mud.  Several cars had to be pulled from the mud in the parking area - doesn&#39;t sound like a fun afternoon at all.  <br /><br />Carmen (M) - our thought and prayers go with you this week for your surgery and quick recovery.   Would it be possible for someone to log on for you and let us know that you are doing well?   <br /><br />Shari - glad that you are feeling better.  <br /><br />Ray - sounds like you had a good weekend.   I do miss the NYC St. Patrick&#39;s Day Parade.  Our kids marched it in for years and we loved going.  I haven&#39;t been in years but your picture brought back great memories.    Son Dave was a trumpeter in his HS award winning band and daughter Deb was the Captain of the flag line.   <br /><br />Jenn - get working on that &quot;honey do&quot; list.   Glad he made you a rack for all your red hat gear.   Hugh sounds like a handy guy to have around.<br /><br />Steve - Congratulations on your grandsons Christening.   <br /><br />Jackie - has Tony seen a specialist yet?  Hope all is OK.<br /><br />Joey - how&#39;s the adjustment working out.    We need you in tip-top shape to organize this group cruise.   <br /><br />I need to get a move on this morning.  I have to follow Deb to the dealership to drop off her car at 7AM for routine maintenance.    I&#39;ll be back later on to chat some more.  <br /><br />Make today special and <!--coloro:#006600--><span style="color:#006600"><!--/coloro-->may the Luck Of The Irish be with you <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> all day.<br /><br />
