Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. We're going to get rain! They're saying this has been the driest year on record for NC ... hard to believe; but you can't argue with statistics! LOL! It's starting out a bit gray, and the forecast is for mid 60s and probably light rain by afternoon. Not much outside stuff will get done this week. The time changed while I was on vacation, so it was sort of a surprise to realize I'm now driving home from work in the dark!
I only managed to get one box down last night; but that's better than nothing. I think tonight I may have to get some of my nutcrackers .. just for the fun of seeing at least one room come together! LOL! Also tonight, I hope to clear off my sewing table ... it's gotten so piled with "stuff" I can't even see the table; and I am not happy with that. I need to get the guest room better organized too. I'm SO good at plans ... just need to actually DO them! :)

-- Marlene Dietrich
