The economy has tanked and people are talking as if we are headed for another great depression.  We, however, see signs of hope and not just in the election of a new president. There is much to be thankful for, health, home, good friends and family.  So rather than moping around worrying about tomorrow we decided to party.  Of course, since 2008 was a leap year the day to party was obviously February 29.  More on that later.
