Friday evening here. Peaceful, as we sit about watching television and playing with our laptops. Television programs are rarely entertaining these days...only a few scattered about throughout the week that we might schedule time to watch. That's kinda sad, I think, but...sure makes spending time at Boomers a blessing. In case you may be wondering, and I seriously doubt you even gave it a thought, my favorite night for tv viewing is on Wednesday night. LOL I saw a notice today that another page design contest will be ramping up soon. Our choice of design. I just re-designed both pages for St. Patrick's Day...not sure if I will switch over, but I could change my mind. I'll have to play around with ideas. I'm saying goodnight for now. Enjoy the week-end. ~ Marcia
