Best Thing About Leap Day

For this year and each Leap Year to come

Today’s random word is Assistant.

We lament about time, saying if only I had one extra day.

Today’s that day!

On this Leap Day 2024, I’ll need an assistant for the things I’ve saved for today.

There’s a closet to organize and a spare room to dust. I need to sort the child’s toys into too babyish and currently playing with.

I want to make a chocolate pie with extra shredded chocolate and a buttery graham crumb crust.

And here’s the best thing about Leap Day — calories don’t count, and if you’ve been around since 1924, you’re 24.

Happy Birthday to Leap Year babies everywhere!
