Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. At the moment it looks a bit gray ... forecast is confusing for today. It's saying "clouds rolling in" , but looks like they're already here. Low 40s today isn't "freezing", but it sure isn't warm! LOL! And, they're saying the "S" word again. This time the storm system is moving up from the south. If ever we get snow, that's *usually* where it comes from. I'm heading east after work tonight, but there's a fair chance the storm will hit there too. Then again ... we might get the one "real" snow fall at home on a weekend when I'm away! LOL!
Last night I got laundry done, and packing for the weekend. I'm looking forward to a family visit.
I will have computer access, but it tends to be erratic (for one thing, the computer is in the room where my grandson sleeps when we visit, and I won't go wake him up by turning it on.) I"lll try to get the newsletter out ... but just in case, y'all have a good (safe!!) weekend ... and be sure to tell someone you love them!!!
