Good Morning! Friday March 5, 2010

Good morning!! It's a beautiful morning. It's still chilly out, but bright and clear. It will be in the upper 40s ... maybe even 50 ... today; and in the 60s by the weekend! I know, it's still not "spring" yet ... but we won't argue with a taste of it for sure! LOL!
I managed to get a few small decluttering chores done last night; but mostly, watched AI and then read. The shows I usually like are mostly reruns. I still want to get back to sewing ... just waiting until it warms up a bit more. I do have a small heater in my room ... but ... my hands get cold, and that makes it sort of hard to use the sewing machne! :)
Tonight I need to work on laundry, and try to clear all the junk out of one last storage tub ... this weekend, the snowmen get packed up.

Today is "Crispus Attucks Day" ... "St. Piran's Day " ... "Shabbat Across America/Canada " ... "World Day Of Prayer".

Quotes of the Day:
"Setting a good example for children takes all the fun out of middle age."
