Good Morning! Sunday December 13, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! The rain started last night, but it seems to be the slow drippy kind, for now at least. It's not cold enough to snow (sad but normal), so there will be no outside stuff for today. But, we got done what was most needed yesterday, and the rest will wait for next year! LOL! We also did some shopping (groceries, and 3 Christmas gifts taken care of), and then baked cookies; watched a Christmas movie; and best of all, a friend from work came by to see the house. We had a lovely little visit.
Today will be more cookie baking, more Christmas movies ... and possibly more friends drop by. I love it! :)
There are 11 days left until Christmas!

today is "Republic Day (Malta)" ... "Santa Lucia Day (Sweden)".

"If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time."
