Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! There's no mist this morning, but it appears to be a bit overcast. They're calling for another hot and humid day, and a good chance of afternoon storms. There were a few storms yesterday, but (as usual) they skipped my house. Perhaps we'll get some rain today; maybe I better remember to shut the car windows, "just in case"! LOL!
I was more productive last night. Of course, it helped that TV was either boring or reruns. :) I got some "hot spots" picked up, and made a lot of progress on one of my Christmas projects. Unfortunately, it wasn't a sewing project; but needs to be completed nevertheless. It's still only July ... I have a chance of finishing things! :)
Tonight (I think?) is Dancing. I hope I enjoy it more than I did last week.
Today is "Anniversary - NASA"
