March
March proudly boasts the title of National Craft month, National Frozen Food month and National Peanut month.

In addition to Easter falling on the 31st, we'll be celebrating these days:

15th - the Ides of March (celebrated by playing UBI)

20th - Extraterrestial Abductions Day (not sure how we'll celebrate it, but there must be a ritual)

28th - Sandy's birthday (there must be cake involved)

What are you celebrating in March?

DDP Blog - A Growing Resource  

We seem to be eating a lot of our own dog food lately! No, we haven't added a furry friend to our family. In case you've not heard the expression, "eating your own dog food" is a slang phrase that means you're using your own product. And lately Phil and I have both been turning to the DDP blog to remind ourselves of little known tips or programs.

So we wanted to take a little space to remind you that it's an ever-growing collection of helpful info. If you want to see each blog as it's published, subscribe to receive them by email or RSS feed. Then bookmark the site for easy access when you need it.

You can check out links to recent blogs in the left column. Here's links to some older blogs that have proven to be favs:
