Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It will feel a bit more like summer again today ... high 80s and humid. Most of the clouds have moved on, but there might be some strays, and a random shower or two. Yesterday was mostly "drippy" all day; you could almost hear the grass growing! LOL!
Last night was spent visiting a recently bereaved friend. I did get a load of laundry done, and one pillow case hemmed. No TV, of course ... priorities, you know! :)
I have no clue what's on tonight, or what I'll get done. Hopefully something productive ... but then, who knows if I'll even be home. :) Some days you just deal with things as they come at you, and trust God will get you through. :)
Today is "National Punctuation Day" ... "Schwenkfelder Thanksgiving (Pa)" ... "Constitutional Declaration Day (Cambodia)" ... "Heritage Day (South Africa)" ... "Independence Day (Guinea-Bissau)".
Quotes of the Day:
