Good morning! It's a lovely morning. There are still a few lingering clouds, but they will most likely blow away. Today we're warm again, low 80s, and low humidity. Typical NC see-saw fall weather! :)
I got one project completely finished last night! YAY! And, I worked on 2 other sewing projects and a craft project. Of course, it helped to have "good" TV last night! LOL! I don't know what I'll work on tonight yet, but will do something. I think. :)
Today is "Balloons Around the World Day" ... "Ripe Pumpkin Day" ..." ... "Railroad Day" ... "National Frappe Day".
