Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still overcast, but the forecast calls for some of it to blow away. It's very cold and windy ... and DRY! No, we did NOT get the promised snow. At least, not around my house. (disappointment!). Well, at least the roads are safe. Hopefully we only have a few more days of the super cold (for here), and it will start getting closer to "normal".
I did finally get most of the laundry put up last night. Nothing like the promise of someone stopping by for impetus! LOL! A friend came by to see all the trees (and other stuff), so that was a nice little visit. After that, though ... Thursday has some of my favorite shows. :)
Tonight I *might* have someone else come by. It will be the last chance, as this weekend, sadly, I will start taking down Christmas decorations (and replacing with winter).
Today is "National Joygerm Day" ... "Saint Gudula Feast Day (Christian)" ... "Show & Tell Day at Work" ... "Midwife's Day/Women's Day (Greece)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes."
-- Oscar Wilde
"No one has a finer command of language than the person who keeps his mouth shut."
-- Sam Rayburn
