Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning! It's clear (so far), and way cooler. Today will only be mid 80s and strong chance of showers. After last night's storms, "showers" will be mild! LOL! We ended up with about 3" of rain in an hour!! It kept up for over 3 hours. Well, I finished my hemming project! LOL!
Tonight will be very busy, as I have one other (much smaller) hemming job to do, I have to make dip for work, and start getting things organized for the weekend. I hope I get it all done! LOL!
Today is "UN International Youth Day" ... "Vinyl Record Day" ... "Anniversary - IBM Personal Computer" ... "Anniversary - Sewing Machine".
