Good Morning! Friday December 11, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It'll be low 40s today .. really starting to feel like winter! But, clouds and sun .. no rain for now (more systems moving through, could be a wet weekend). But, of course, the forecast could change by tonight! LOL!
I didn't get a lot done last night, but a few more decluttering spots and laundry put away. It was a good (for me) TV night. :)
Tonight I'm hoping we'll go ride out to look at lights, and a display of decorated trees. Of course, I'll find ideas that I want to do next year!
There are 13 days left until Christmas!

Today is "UN International Mountain Day" ... "Anniversary - UNICEF" ... "Admission Day (Indiana)" ... "National Day (Burkina Faso)".
