Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! All of yesterday's clouds have gone away. It will be pretty chilly - probably upper 40s - but the sun is shining! It will be a good day for getting that silly tree upright, and for doing the finishing touches to the outside. I also have company coming (YAY!!), so a few little things to do inside - like clearing clutter so there's a place to sit down! LOL!
Yesterday we braved the weather and went to the parade. It was a lot of fun. There was not a big crowd (not only watching the parade, but also on the floats - a few were even completely empty! Sad!), but the bands were great, the queens and princesses smiled and waved (and so did the politicians), the clowns were funny, the cars were loud .... it was everything a Christmas parade should be! In the last few minutes, it did start to rain a bit, but not too hard, and we were very near the end of the route.
After the parade we did some shopping ... and came home really tired! LOL! But, a good night's rest, and I'm ready to start over today.
There are 18 days left until Christmas!
Today is "Miner's Day" ... "National Pawnbrokers Day" ... "Saint Nicholas Day" ... "Constitution Day (Spain)" ... "Independence Day (Finland)".
