Good Morning! Thursday November 5, 2009

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! We seem to have moved past the gray days, and have a string of perfect fall days now. I hope to be able to use this one outside, but will see how the day goes. High is mid to upper 60s ... just right for outside!
Yesterday we got a lot done. I got several errands done before picking up my friend, and we really worked hard. We have most of the inside trees, except the big one up, "fluffed", and lit. One is decorated, but mostly I'm holding off on that to get things in place first.
A lot of other "little" things got done too ... it was a busy day. We were SO tired! LOL!
Today it starts again. I don't know if my friend will be here today or not, but I will get done what I can either way. It's getting so exciting to have those trees in place! :)

Today is "National Men Make Dinner Day" ... "Day of the First Shout for Freedom (El Salvador)" ... "Guy Fawkes Day (England)".

Quotes of the Day:
