Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray out, but a "soft" gray - not harsh and dark. It'll be low 60s today, cloudy, and probably rain by this afternoon. Lovely that it waited until after the holiday weekend! :)
Yesterday was a very busy day. It didn't turn out like I had hoped ... most of my expected guests, for various (good) reasons, were not able to come. So, I ended up cooking a big Thanksgiving dinner ... for my 2 step-sons. Who were late. LOL! We'll have LOTS of leftovers all week, which is not a bad thing.
Tonight I hope to work on adding ornaments to the trees, and also get back to some overdue sewing.
There are 24 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Computer Security Day" ... "Cyber Monday" ... "Saint Andrew's Day" ... "Stay Home Because You're Well Day" ... "Independence Day (Barbados)".
