Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The sky is pale gold now, though the forecast is for cloudy. There's a little bit of mist floating just above the ground .. sort of spooky. Today will be upper 70s and breezy; rain is a maybe/maybe not thing. I guess that makes it a bit hard on people going to the State Fair. In my little cubby - I don't care! LOL!
I got nothing done at home last night, not even email (if I owe anyone replies, I'll try to get to them tonight!). As soon as I got home, we went to Jimmy's sister's house for a quick visit. My BIL gave us a lot of frozen fish he had caught (and cleaned!). He catches them, he doesn't eat them. Go figure! LOL! Then we went out to a favorite local restaurant to "celebrate" Jimmy's birthday. Then we went to my sister's house to get the BIG tree she gave me. Wow. It really IS big! :) But, with a LOT of help from (another) BIL, it got put in the car. We traded some of the fish for some venison. Oh boy are we set now! :)
We got home safely with the tree, and got it out of the car ... in time to go to bed!!! So, tonight I play catch up with everything.
Today is "National Mole Day" ... "Swallows Leave San Juan Capistrano" ... "TV Talk Show Host Day" ... "Peace Treaty Day (Cambodia)".
