Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. At least, I think it is ...somewhere under all that fog! LOL! It may rain this morning, but should be clearing by this afternoon, and going to around 60. That will make it a lovely night to go caroling!
Last night I got more done that I expected, just not *what* I expected. I meant to bake more cookies, but DH used the oven to cook dinner (turkey breast - yum!); so the cookies will wait until tomorrow night. I also got a bit of progress made on one more "last minute" gift ... which I sure need to finish and get mailed! LOL! I got a few other decluttering things done.
I also watched a new show. I think it was "Sing Along" or something like that. It was a contest for accapello groups (I have NO idea how to spell that! LOL!), and they were very good. It continues tonight, so I will miss it; but it was nice entertainment. Tonight, as I said, some people from the office are going caroling. We've been doing this for years now, going to the homes of some of our shut-in patients, and to some nursing homes. It's a lot of fun and I look forward to it every year.
There are 9 days left until Christmas!
