Good morning! It's a wonderful Monday morning! It's a bit overcast, which may serve to keep the heat down ... to around 90 instead of upper 90s! LOL! It will most likely be hot and humid, with chances of afternoon storms. We didn't get any rain here again yesterday, though we ran through a brief shower near Raleigh.Yesterday didn't turn out quite like I thought, but it was a good day. I got a few things done in the morning, and we had a nice mid-day dinner. We took our niece home, and had a lovely visit with my sister and another niece (and sorry we missed seeing the 3rd niece - maybe she'll come visit us some time?). We stopped on the way home, and that stop turned into another -even longer- visit, so it was actually getting late by the time we got home. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my resolve to get things done in the evenings after work! :)
