Good morning! It is a beautiful morning. Today will be another perfectly beautiful summer day: mid 80s, mostly sunny. It will be a good day for being outside.
Yesterday I did not get done what I started out to do. I did get a good start; and I did get a lot of things done that I needed to. But by the time we got out and ran various errands - which involved going to 3 different towns in the course of the day - it was too hot. So, in just a few minutes, I'm going to tackle the back hall this morning before it gets so hot. Later today we may take a ride to the beach. Well, actually, to dain the boat! LOL! But we'll go on to the beach to "justify" the long ride. :)
