Time to really smell up the house cooking that corned beef and cabbage.    Love to eat it - not crazy about cooking it.   lol <br /><br />Kevin - you poem is wonderful.    You are  very talented and definately have a way with words and a very quick wit.<br /><br />Andrea - Hope today is better for you and most of all safer.     We have a lot of roads like you describe around here but I am able to avoid them for the most part and do whenever possible.     Stay safe and keep that ice cold brew up high where you won&#39;t have to share.   <br /><br />Shari - glad you got to enjoy the sunshine.    Friday is the first day of spring - I hope Mother Nature has a calendar and knows this.   lol   The shingles are still around - I&#39;ve resigned myself to the fact that they aren&#39;t going away.    The pain isn&#39;t constant but just when I think it&#39;s gone it gives me a little jolt to remind me it is still there.    Thanks for asking.<br /><br />Falina - great news on the cake - now it seems you are all set.   Good luck searching for the luggage.   If you are anything like me you will find it and it will be full of seasonal clothes.   <br /><br />Rose - so happy to hear that your sister is doing well and gaining her strength back.<br /><br />Jackie - Sorry you are in pain again.   It may be time to look into the injections.   Living with daily pain is awful and very draining.<br /><br />Jenn - Hope you can get out and work in your yard soon.   I know how you enjoy that.     Then when you are done you can come work in mine.    I love to have my yard looking nice but I don&#39;t like actually getting my hands dirty to do it and the first time I see a bug I&#39;m done.   <br /><br />Steve - I think Lynda and I could do some serious economic recovery to some of the ports we will be visiting.<br /><br />Robert - hope you got to sleep in a bit this morning.<br /><br />Ed - How long do they expect Roe&#39;s &quot;sunburn&quot; to last.    I hope the meds help her.<br /><br />Jim - hope you are able to get back to your deck work soon.     <br /><br />Joey - what are you up to with David out of town?<br /><br />James - planning another cruise is so much fun.   I may just have to do that to help me pass the time til November.   <br /><br />Sue - Are you all better now?   <br /><br />Martha - sorry your &quot;mini vacation&quot; is over.<br /><br />Today the carpet people are coming so by tonight the guest room should be back in shape.   Jim has to work today (to cover for his partner) so I should have everything ready for him to move back the furniture by the time he gets home.    This was a long project but it turned out great.    <br /><br />Have a great day and I&#39;ll check back later.     <br /><br /><br />
