Well, there is a flu going around..... My luck, I'd then really get the flu, and have to take another day off. But alas, I really can't take off a Saturday in the spring. It's like December for other retailers. I'll be taking a little over a week off at the end of May to go see DD graduate and to go meet my new grandson, due May 13. So, I can't really afford to take any extra time off work. I know it'll be great fun for all! Sally
