Good morning! It's a wonderful fall morning. As is fairly normal here, we're in another down side of temps - only around 50 today, cloudy and rainy. But we need the rain, so it's all good. Well, I sort of hope it stops by tonight when we have to travel! LOL!
I didn't get any sewing done last night. There were just too many other things I needed to get done - laundry, baking, packing. But I think I'm ready! And excited, I get to visit nearly all my family (parents, siblings, in-laws, a few assorted nieces) plus a trip to the NC mountains!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I am leaving tonight for a trip with family, and will be back Monday afternoon. I will have only limited computer access. If I get a chance I will post - otherwise, there will be no newsletter until Tuesday, October 20th. I WILL be back! :)
Today is "Be Bald and Be Free Day" ... "Emergency Nurses Day" ... "International Top Spinning Day" ... "National Bring Teddy Bear to Work Day" ... "UN International Day For Natural Disaster Reduction".
