Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sky is pale gold, and though there will be some clouds, we may also see some sunshine today. It'll be right around 50, a bit chilly (but hopefully not inside the office! LOL!), and no rain for a few days.
Last night the Christmas caroling was a LOT of fun. It's a shame more people don't bother to show up. There were only 5 of us from work, but with family and friends, so we ended up with a pretty good group. I know all the people we sang to really enjoyed it - they smiled and clapped and sang along! Afterward, the boss treated us to pizza ... also fun! :) After the "party" ended, my friend from work (that my young friend I took with me and I rode with) took us on a mini-tour of Christmas lights in town (Dunn). It was lovely, and we so enjoyed that!
Tonight, wow, I really have to get busy, so much I need to finish doing before the weekend.
For those who have asked (and those who haven't! LOL!), here is where to find pictures of my decorated house:
