Good Morning! Wednesday December 30, 2009

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning.There looks to be a few clouds, but the forecast is for mostly sunny until later in the afternoon, but chilly. It's going to be mid 40s, and storms closing in perhaps tonight.
Last night we had a wonderful family dinner. I enjoyed having my son and his family visit. He helped out with some needed things here, and also took a few more of his things that have been stored in my "attic". Eventually I will have ALL the room up there ... to store my Christmas stuff! LOL!
Tonight, I guess it's time to play catch up on a few cleaning and decluttering things around the house. I do like to greet the new year with a neat and tidy house if possible. New year???? Oh my, it took forever to get used to writing "09", and now I have to learn to write "10"! :)

Today is "Oh My! Day" ... "Falling Needles Family Fest Day".
