Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I woke up to rain! We need rain; and what is more perfect, after a gloriously beautiful weekend, than a rainy Monday morning! :) We did not put up "all" the decorations yesterday. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to put them all out quite this early. But, we got some "infrastructure" done. That was the hard part (and wouldn't have gotten done without my friend and my neighbor figuring it out!). The plans are all in place, and some other small things in place. Now I just have to find where I put the lights last year! LOL!
Tonight I hope to get back on the neglected sewing. I have a lot of things coming up over the next few months, and I really have to be more organized with the time I have.
It's only 81 days until Christmas!
Today is "Child Health Day" ... "Improve Your Home Office Day" ... "UN World Habitat Day" ... "UN World Teacher's Day" ... "Republic Day (Portugal)".
