Good morning! It's a wonderful THANKSGIVING morning. It's very foggy out ... I can barely see past the end of my porch. But, that will dissapate eventually. Clouds will move in later, but mid 60s isn't bad!
I have a busy day planned; although I'm already "behind schedule"! LOL! But, I'll try to get done what I can. Today will be my only "free" day of the long holiday weekend. And, I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade ... which will slow me down. But, I do love a parade! LOL! I just have "bits and pieces" to try to get finished up. Tomorrow we'll be taking a quick one night trip to celebrate Mama's birthday. And Sunday we will have our Thanksgiving dinner here (to avoid conflict with other families).
I hope each and every one of my readers has a very wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving (whether you are in the US or not).
I want my family and friends to know I am very Thankful for each and every one of you!
and ....
There are 28 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade" ... "Thanksgiving Day (US)" ... "Turkey-Free Thanksgiving" ... "Republic Day (Mongolia)"
