Good morning! It is a beautiful morning! This lovely un-fall-like weather is hanging in here ... bright and sunny, and going up to mid 70s today. I wonder if this is "Indian Summer"? Whatever, it's gorgeous weather!
Yesterday I was a bit on the lazy side. My friend was not able to come over, Jimmy went to the coast for most of the day, and I had the house to myself. I did a lot of laundry, and a lot of sorting and organizing. The living room is mostly cleared of clutter again, and the dining room table has only what we're currently working with.
Vacation is over, so back to work this morning. Hopefully I can maintain some enthusiasm by tonight to make some more progress. :)

Today is "World Orphans Day" ... "Anniversary - Kristallnacht" ... "Independence Day (Cambodia)".
