Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The forecast today is for much cooler - around 70, and cloudy. This morning started out rainy, so I don't know if it will clear or not. But, we can sure use rain, so it's all good. :)
Yesterday certainly turned into a major adventure. After early morning yard-sale-ing with friends, which was a load of fun, I picked up another friend. We went to a quilt show: a display of local quilts, some very old, all beautiful. Then we went to eat, and then made "just one more" stop. When we were ready to leave - the car wasn't! LOL!! We managed to contact my friend's cousin, who came and rescued us, and all will be well.
So, today at least, I won't be going anywhere. :) That's fine, I have a lot to catch up on: some cleaning, some crafts, some sewing, some baking. I *might* even have some company. It will be a very busy day.
Today is "General Pulaski Memorial Day" ... "National Coming Out Day" ... "Anniversary - Saturday Night Live" ... "Grandmother's Day (Fl)" ... "White Sunday (Samoa and American Samoa)".
