Good morning! It's a wonderful fall morning! I would love to stay home agian .. but my boss probably wouldn't like that! LOL! It's only going to be around 80; starting out cloudy, but will probably be sunny by afternoon. We had rain off and on all day yesterday, so everything has had a nice drink now; all of the fall flowers (and also my beloved petunias) are blooming happily!
Yesterday was a relaxing fun day. My friend came over, and we watched an NCIS marathon; we also made 5 batches of cookie dough. We each have 2 in the freezer ready to roll out and bake later; and we baked one batch for "right now". Yummy! :)
I'm also very close to finishing the phase I'm on with one of the big sewing projects ... would have finished Sunday, but the bobbin ran out. I will finish that tonight, and move on to the next part. I can also now change the thread, and begin working on the other big project again!
Today is "Another Look Unlimited Day" ... "Play Days (09/08-09/12)" ... "Nixon Pardon Day" ... "UN International Literacy Day" ... "Anniversary - Star Trek TV Premiere" ... "Independence Day (Macedonia)".
