Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit early, and still misty across the back yard; but the forecast for today is just fne. It will be low 60s, clouds moving in later but no rain.
We got a lot done last night, including clearing up a lot of the clutter we were making as we went. I have a few cluttery areas to clean this morning. Then, we're going to do a few last-minute things and watch the Raleigh Christmas parade on TV. I just love a parade! :)
Tonight I'm having company for dinner (nearly everything is ready), and we're going to a local "show", Christmas lights, that get turned on this weekend (and off New Year's Eve). There's also an "old-fashioned candy" store ... have to get what we want tonight, because they run out and don't replace! LOL!
There are 33 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Family Volunteer Day" ... "UN World Television Day" ... "World Hello Day" ... "Ratification Day (North Carolina)".
