Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's pink - not gray - out this morning! It will only be around 90 today, and mostly sunny. This will be a big change from what it's been lately - and what they're saying is coming! Gee, should I play hookey today? LOL!! Not!!
I ended up watching the Dancing results show. Parts of it were fun, and predictably, other parts were boring. But that's over for another season, now it's just AGT to watch (besides reruns!). And, last night, I finished hemming a small piece. At least I got *something* done! :)
