Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear out, and I believe will be quite warm, mid 70s. Very much on the warmer side of "normal" for this time of year, but great for getting the last of outside things done before cooler weather is back to stay.
I had a wonderful --though too short-- visit with my parents. We spent all of Friday afternoon with Mama; and we took Daddy over on Saturday and stayed until late afternoon. I'm looking forward to going back again in a few weeks (for Mama's birthday), and seeing more family then.
It was not too awfully late when we got home, so I am pretty well rested ... and have a lot to finish up today. Sadly, I must return to work tomorrow! LOL! Today I will try to get things cleared and organized, so that I will know what I need to work on in the evenings after work. I am ready to have everything done so I can enjoy the decorations ... and get back to some sewing! :)
Today is "Abet and Aid Punsters Day" ... "Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day" ... "National Parents As Teachers Day" ... "X-ray Discovery Day" ... "Admission Day (Montana)".
Quotes of the Day:
"War is not nice."

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again."
-- Og Mandino
