Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, though a bit chilly. Clouds are supposed to build back in by this afternoon, which is a good thing since we'll be traveling west!
Yesterday was cloudy and chilly, and a storm blew through last night with wind and rain (sadly, my big outdoor tree was a casualty of the wind ... hopefully I'll have help fixing it Sunday). I managed to have a lazy day and a productive day at the same time. I got all the things on my "to do" list done! Yay! I also watched a Christmas parade, a Christmas movie, and Sir Paul in New York. All in all, a very nice day. This morning I have a few chores to attend to, and this afternoon we're heading out to visit family. Today is Mama's birthday and tomorrow is a party. And, I won't have access to a computer in the morning ... y'all have a great weekend, I'll be back Sunday!
There are 27 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Black Friday" ... "Buy Nothing Day" ... "Maize Day" ... "National Flossing Day" ... "Sinkie Day" ... "You're Welcomegiving Day" ... "Family Day (Nevada)".
