Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's so foggy right now I can't see across the yard; but it's supposed to go up to nearly 60 todayl and tomorrow. Forecast is for mostly cloudy, but no rain.
Yesterday was very busy. We got lots of cookies made (some recipes we will not do again; others turned out better than we expected!) I still need to do more baking, but glad I've gotten started. Perhaps tonight I'll get more done.
There are 10 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Halcyon Day (12/14-28)" ... "National Children's Memorial Day and Worldwide Candle Lighting" ... "Admission Day (Alabama)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening."

"Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty... Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
