On
February 29, 2000 I celebrated my Sweet 16 Leap Birthday and divided it
into 2 parts. For lunch I took 12 people to The Cheesecake Factory and I
ordered a slice of each kind of cheesecake they had. In the evening I
took 26 people to eat at The Ark which has a Captain's Buffet table
consisting of most anything you could think of to eat.

You
can see 'scenes' from both The Cheesecake Factory and The Ark in the
collage that James made for me--which is a good thing because I am
unable to find the pictures that were taken that day except for the ones
shown here. (By the way I will be going to The Ark this year also to
celebrate the 19th.)

I
received many great presents that year but one of the best was a
complete BBQ dinner from Corky's in Memphis that Chuck sent and how
could one not love a 'money balloon'--I still don't know how they got
the bills in the balloon but I did wait for all the air to go out before
I ripped it open and took the money out! LOL Also, since I was fairly
new working on a computer, I got 'tech' stuff from Betsy, Bob, Nancy and
Doug!

I
only had to wait 4 more years for my 17th birthday and that would be a
memorable one--some of the folks here at Gateway who came are still
talking about!
February 29th is special...
It's the reason that a season comes at the same time every year.
If you're born on Leap Day... Welcome Home!
Just 28 days to our next birthday!
