Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's cool out, and it's Friday! :) We have one more day of temps around 80, cloudy skies, and possible showers. There were a few off and on yesterday, but more would certainly be welcome.
I did good last night, got an entire project done. Of course, it wasn't one on my "list"! LOL! But, important never-the-less. Tonight I hope to tackle some cutting out phases; and hopefully that cookie dough I haven't gotten to yet! :)
This morning I overslept ... oops ... so running late!
Today is "National POW/MIA Recognition Day" ... "National Respect Day" ... "Anniversary - US Air Force" ... "Independence Day (Chile)".
