Happy Leap Year Day & Happy Belated Birthday Aurora

February 29, 2020

Good morning.  Today is "D" day, and it's also Leap Year Day.   It will be four more years before we have a Leap Year again.  And, in thirty one more hours, Pogo and I will land in Sunny Florida.  Woo Hoo! 

I know it's Saturday, but I thought I'd post today because tomorrow morning I won't have time to sit at my laptop.  It's already "jitter" time.  There's so much to do.  Did I do this?  Or that?  Oh gosh, I just know that I'll forget to do so many things.  Well, at this point it doesn't matter anymore.  Whatever got done, got done.  Anything else will just have to wait till Pogo and I get back.

I've made my "last minute to pack" list, which I will tend to today.  And, I'll bring Pogo's stroller in from the porch and make sure it's all clean and ready to go with us.  It will double as a stroller for Pogo and a walker for me.  I just need something to hold on to when I'm walking. 

Deanne sent me some wonderful news last evening.  Yup, it's "brag time" again.  Jazzy's college is going to be nominating her for the "All-USA Academic Team" in Boston on April 8th.  This is sponsored by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Just copy the above link into the search bar at Google and it will be take you to the guide that explains this award.

Then Deanne sent me this awesome item about Kevin.  Kevin follows his Dad's footsteps and is an electrician.  His journeyman took this photo of Kevin at his job in Boston.  From time to time, he takes photos and posts them on the local 103 IBEW website.


After giving me all this wonderful news, Deanne sent me photos of my great granddaughter enjoying her fourth birthday.  Oh no!  Guess what I forgot?  Michael and I had twenty grandchildren, and now there are twelve great grandchildren too.  No wonder I forget!  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  I will send Aurora a  birthday gift today.

This is Aurora wearing her new Cat Boy mask (one of the characters on the cartoon P.J.Masks). Happy Birthday Sweetie, Meema loves you.


Tomorrow is the beginning of another brand new month, March.  I'm posting my calendar page for March today just in cast I can't get back to blogging right away. 


You know I'm packing my camera with hopes of getting lots of super new photos to share.  When Audrey arrives, I'm hoping we can get out and about once or twice to find lots of new flora and fauna to photograph. 

Well, it's time for me to shake my booty and get busy here.  So, till Monday, (I hope) Y'all have a fantabulous weekend.

Hugs,  Edna B.

Your departure is looming up fast! How exciting for you! I am so glad you get to escape winter for a while and come down here to Florida.

I am behind in my blog reading, so I don't know exactly where you are headed, but I know you and Pogo will have a wonderful time. Here in North Central Florida we've actually had jacket weather this past week but expect to get into the 80s this coming week. Have a wonderful time. I look forward to your pictures.

Congrats to the birthday great-granddaughter and also to your family members receiving special recognitions!

I can't wait to see your Florida photos! I hope you (and Pogo) have a good trip.

I just wanted to stop by and wish you a fantastic trip! I know I've not been very good at keeping up my New Year's goals and projects, so I haven't been very present online. Yet, I'll catch up soon. But in the meantime I am going to be making a point of visiting and reading at least if for no other reason than your trip to Florida is always my vicarious vacation. LOL

I hope the weather is good for your trip and that you and Puhl go enjoy Friends, fleamarket's, fun things, relaxing and all of those gorgeous palm trees!

Have fun, my friend!
Hugs, Nani
