Good Morning! Sunday, October 25, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The last forecast I saw was for clear, warm and sunny. It hasn't got there yet, but I'm sure it will. It's around 60 now, mid-morning, so it will probably be a nice day. Yesterday was, just as predicted, a fairly rainy afternoon. It drizzled off and on, with one mid afternoon spell of a good downpour and even a bit of thunder. And yes, we got wet! LOL! We did have to find cover during the harder raining; but in the end, we pretty much saw everything we wanted to see (arts and crafts of every sort, "Village of Yesteryear", animals, gardens). We tasted a few "exotic" treats, and we got a "celebrity" autograph (local weatherman, Mike Maze). We gave brief thought to staying late enough for fireworks; but when we realized we'd done everything, were totally exhausted, and it was still an hour until the fireworks .... we passed! LOL!
This morning I am sore from all that walking, but pushing myself to "work it out"! LOL!
I do have a lot to get done: CHRISTMAS IS TWO MONTHS FROM TODAY!! :)
