Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and with a frost on the ground that is all white and sparkly and pretty. They're telling us a storm is coming in tomorrow ... *could* be the "S" word! LOL! It's very much wait and see how it works out.
Last night I got another batch of cookies made. I also made some progress on a small Christmas project ... one I tend to keep forgetting I won't have the weekend to work on! But, it's something I can take with me this weekend, so that's likely what will happen.
Tonight I do more baking, catch up laundry, and pack for the weekend trip.
There are 7 days left until Christmas - one week from today is Christmas Eve!
Today is "National Regifting Day" ... "Wright Brothers Day".

"Sure I'm for helping the elderly. I'm going to be old myself some day."
