Hi All, First, thanks to those who wrote when I was sick. Like many families in the U. S. on this St. Patrick's Day, Eileen and I will have a boiled dinner of Corned Beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots. However, we are one of the few who will have that menu as it is not a tradition here in the Maritimes of Canada. We brought it from NJ. Nova Scotia is getting a heavy snow storm but we are being spared here on Prince Edward Island. However, we still have 18" of frozen snow on the level and drifts up to 5' high around our house. It is melting slowly but it will be a late spring. I am wondering how much you have left, Carl. I have recovered from the pneumonia but tire very easily and find every job a major project. We are in the frustrating process of trading our vehicle this week and are seriously looking at leasing. Anyone have any experience with leasing? I'm tired of the hassle of purchasing and trading every three years. Had planned to camp through West Virginia, Kentucky, down to Alabama then return up the east coast to Monmouth Co. and Sussex Co. NJ during May, but may delay until September, after Eileen has her dentures. Gas prices will also be a factor. I wonder if there is still a St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City. There must be. When I was a child we attended every year. As I recall, usually there were a few spring bulbs in bloom in New Jersey. Have fun! Jim
