March is scheduled to come in like a lion but hopefully it will go out like a lamb.    Lots of things to do today - many stores and businesses are having &quot;leap year&quot; specials.   My first stop will be our bank where there are offering short term (5 month) CD&#39;s at 4.29%  for today only.    That&#39;s a lot better than any other rate we are able to get around here by close to 1%.<br /><br />Cheryl sea - great idea for keeping our Cheryl&#39;s straight.   So happy to see you stopping by here and I look forward to seeing you a lot more often and getting to know you better.   As for your quiz I am definately a Chocolate Cake type of girl.   <br /><br />Shari - glad you could stop by and hope you are doing better today.   That was quite an experience you had meeting the Beach Boys.    I&#39;m sure you will never forget it.   When we got out of the theatre the other night it was 4 degrees with wind chills of -20 so there was no waiting by the stage door for me.    I really loved their show but boy it was cold.   lol<br /><br />Rose - CRUISE TIME&#33;&#33;&#33;   Hope you and Cynthia have a grand time and get to spend some nice quality time together.   <br /><br />Ed - If you can&#39;t catch the cat to give him the pain pills I guess he is not suffering too much.   Please don&#39;t take the cat&#39;s meds though.   I&#39;d hate to think of you stuck up in a tree - how embarrasing for you.   lol  <br /><br />Steve - glad you are all set for your cruise.    I&#39;m sure your sister will have a good time with Dad and it will give them a chance to catch up.    Just remind her of how hard you worked getting the house clean and tell her it had better be that way when you return.   <br /><br />Cheryl - how wonderful that you will be spending the weekend with Scotty.    I&#39;m sure he is looking forward to it as much as you are.  Have fun and don&#39;t let the munchkin wear you out completely.   <br /><br />Tonia - The picture of me dancing in the aisles will have to remain secret.  Can&#39;t take the chance of Deb &amp; Dave finding out their mom isn&#39;t the square old fashioned Mom they think I am.    They still can&#39;t understand how we don&#39;t get bored out of our minds on cruises - you know sitting by the pool with our book covered by a blanket sipping tea.   Oh, if only they knew.   lol<br /><br />Maria - glad the cutting boards are coming out well.   You talking about the cradle reminded me of a bassinet that belonged to my Dad ( he was born 1918 and it was already in the family. ) which has been passed all around the family.   Our generation all used it, our children used it and now our grandkids used it.   I really have to check on it and see who has it.   My niece who is getting married in May makes no bones about the fact that she wants a honeymoon baby so I should check and see if it needs any work.   I really wish we had put a plaque on it of some type.   We always talked about it but never did it.   <br /><br />Sue - how is Pappy doing today?   Hope it wasn&#39;t anything serious.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita -  you certainly have a busy month ahead of you.    Have fun dancing over the weekend   <br /><br />Joey - you have been very quiet lately.   Hopefully you are just busy planning your next cruise or looking into our &#39;09 group Crazies cruise.   <br /><br />Carmen (M)   You have been quiet this week.    Did DD start her new job yet?   Bet she looked like a real professional going out in her new suits.   <br /><br />Carmen &reg;  - How is your conference going?   Since we haven&#39;t heard from you I guess you are still there.  <br /><br />Time to get moving and start my day.   Make today special and stay safe.   I&#39;ll be back later on to check in again.   <br />
