We had a really good time at the concert last night and now are fully in an Irish mood for St. Patrick&#39;s Day.  I guess I will be going out to buy some corned beef and caggage today.   The Irish Rovers were terrific but ended their concert with their big hit &quot;The Unicorn Song&quot;.   I spent most of the night staring at the ceiling singing &quot;Green alligators and long necked geese.&quot;   I can&#39;t get the tune out of my head.   <br /><br />Big doings tonight for all the little female members of our family.   Up in Ct.  Paige will be attending her second Princess ball  complete with gown, tiara and her Prince Charming (her Dad) looking great in his new tux.   According to her - all of 7 years old - it is the social event of the year.   Closer to home Ashleigh will be attending her first Girl Scout 1950&#39;s sock hop.  Since Daddy Mike could not get off work, Poppy Jim will be taking her.   Her next door neighbor made her a cute little pink poodle skirt so she will be in style there.  <br /><br />Joey - I also boil the corned beef and add the cabbage, etc. at the end.   Tonia&#39;s topping sounds yummy though I think I will have to try that this year.   I have tried roasting the brisket but somehow it just doesn&#39;t taste the same. (I think it really needs to sit in that greasy water that is so bad for you for a few hours)<br /><br />Karla - It might be time to ask for a raise at Kohls after all the shopping I have been doing there recently.   <br />Their sales are just too good to pass up.    <br /><br />Ed - And the problem with Roe needing a new dress for her nephews wedding would be what??   I am in the same boat as she is.   My niece is getting married in May, I have a closet full of gowns I could wear but if you give me a minute or two I can find a reason to eliminate every one of them from my list of possibilities.  lol - Happy shopping&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Steve - Details on your next cruise, please.  Your house sounds like our old house with all the windows.   By the time I got the last window done it was time to start all over.   I much prefer the  nice little house I have right now.<br /><br />I really need to get a move on and get started on Easter basket shopping this morning so I&#39;ll be back later to chat some more.<br /><br />Make today special <br /><br />
