CS> I've got another IRA untapped and a good TSP plus 49 CD's. Should be

Wedon't have that much but doing well on Social Security and Steve's
retirement/disability. We have several CDs, TSP and IRAs tucked away for
the future.
Today is a cool (mid 70s) and very wet day so we're going to do a
lasagne for supper. Bought a couple of Rao's brand lasagnes a few months
ago (BOGI sale) and tucked one in the freezer. They're not bad, not as
good as my home made but a lot better than Mrs. Stouffer's. (G)
