Good Morning! Friday November 20, 2009

Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning! It's bright out my window, and nearly clear (a little morning mist left, but it's quickly disapating). It's going to be mid 60s, sunny, less humid - just a wonderful fall day!
Yesterday's rain didn't start until I was on the way home. So, I came home to a lovely surprise ... since the rain had held off, my friend came over and almost completely finished the outside decorations! I am SO excited, I just love the way everything looks. I wish I could take a good night-time picture. So, anyone that can, come visit ... everyone else, use your imagination! LOL!
Tonight we'll pretty much finish up inside. The inside big tree is mostly together, and just finishing touches needed everywhere else. Well, I'll keep adding those, probably right up to Christmas day! LOL!
There are 34 days left until Christmas!

Today is "Name Your PC Day" ... "UN Africa Industrialization Day" ... "UN Universal Children's Day" ... "Revolution Day (Mexico)".
