Yes – This is me live-and-in person, thus not a timed post. How was your weekend? This weekend gave me the following:

- My beloved Graeter’s announced a new flavor – Salted Caramel Fudge Brownie Ice Cream (What do you think?)
- My wife safely returned late Saturday from her cruise (ahead of the snow & ice)

Your weekend activities sounded good, especially having your wife back from the high seas. This month I plan to celebrate Music in Schools, Play a Recorder, Youth Art, and Credit Education.

Also thanks for the reminder that somehow I got a week off and yesterday accidentally celebrated Get Over It Day.

Good question about the cruise. They made reservations last March or April … and actually before we even had a thought of moving … thus when the two events became inevitable, I gave the trip my OK. Meanwhile, who would have guessed that a Christmas gift would have caused so much havoc!

You’re right, Frank. That is an eclectic list of celebrations. Everything from eye donation to adopting a rescued guinea pig. Don’t you wonder who thinks these things up in the first place?

I’m sure you’re getting very busy with moving day getting closer, so I’ll wish you a good week, and hope the weather doesn’t impede your progress!

I’m convinced that many of the celebrations are driven as promotions by organizations … but they still make me smile. Meanwhile, the ladies had a good trip .. and in the case of my wife, she needed a break. As for the weather, March has roared in like a lion and is traditionally a yo-yo … so who knows what it will be come move day!

Don’t worry about being behind, especially because I’m even further back … so far back that I’ve given up any hope of catching up … thus will return to regular visits after I settle in after the upcoming move. Meanwhile, I haven’t had that ice cream yet, but I’m anxious to try. Don’t forget that Graeter’s can be found in stores around the Dallas area! Probably not all flavors … but some is better than none!!!!!
