Good morning!! It's a wonderful morning. It's still cloudy, but will go up to around 50, and possibly we'll start getting sunshine by late afternoon. Almost all the snow is gone already. It was a very pretty snow, and surprisingly "soft" ... and melting away. I know we may still see some winter weather this month; but spring is definately on the way!
Another chilly night, and I (mostly) watched the girls sing. I guess I wasn't all that impressed, as it didn't hold my attention. There were maybe 2 or 3 I really liked. I probably won't watch tonight, as I don't care enough yet who leaves! LOL!
Anyway, tonight is catch up laundry and other misc. chores night ... and unless it's all reruns, some good (to me) programs. :)
Today is "Courageous Followers Day" ... "March Forth - Do Something Day " ... "National Grammar Day " ... "Old Inauguration Day " ... "Admission Day (Vermont)" ... "World Book Day (UK and Ireland)".

"Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it."
