[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 258629, member: 3704"] Happy Friday Everyone! Linda, it sounds like you and kt have some fun things lined up. I know that she will be excited about her room. The birdcage lamp sounds very creative. And, the cookies? Count me in!! Susie , hope you make it through Pokemon - I remember those days! Carrot cake is the BEST! I have a recipe that I adore, but because it's expensive (both in cost in calories) I don't make it very often. I know you all will love it. Enjoy Witch Mountain. It sounds like fun!! We have a bittersweet day planned today. Our beloved niece has been deployed to Iraq. We are meeting her at the airport as she is flying through here, and we'll probably be able to spend around 4 hours with her before she takes off. She joined the army ten years ago to go to medical school. Iraq wasn't really a blip on the radar screen for her then. She completed her residency in psychiatry at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington last year and she was sent to Fort Knox in Kentucky.
