Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit overcast, but not raining at the moment (it rained during most of the night). It will be cool today ... so it starts to feel like Thanksgiving is nearly here! Only 3 more days. Wow.
Yesterday was a nice day. I got all of my dishes and laundry caught up. Then we had a lovely visit --though too short-- with a niece and her fiance. They did some target shooting in the (huge) back yard, and we had a nice visit. Of course, I had to bribe her with sausage dip to come (LOL!! kidding!!). After they left, we just vegged out with TV (yucky reruns), and the left over ham from Saturday night made great sandwiches! :) Tonight, we go out to dinner (30 years today ... hard to believe!!), and maybe I'll get a few more ornaments on the trees.
There are 31 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Pasadena Doo Dah Parade (Calif)" ... "Labor Thanksgiving Day (Japan)" ... "Alascattalo Day" ... "Humane Society Anniversary Day" ... "International Aura Awareness Day" ... "National Family Volunteer Day" ... "National Survivors of Suicide Day" ... "Stop The Violence Day" ... "Independence Day Lebanon".
