Good Morning! Monday March 15, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The forecast is for a mostly sunny morning with clouds thickening by afternoon. Right now, it's a bit cloudy, but with lovely streaks of pinks and golds ... and the bright orangey sun just visible through the trees. It will be low 60s, which is quite reasonable for mid-March. :)
I had a perfectly wonderful weekend with family. It's always hard to leave and come back here to go to work. Some of you may remember the "curtain project" from last winter. We thought we'd have a repeat of that ... but it turned out there were already curtains that were just pefect for the space where they were needed! I only had a tiny bit of hand-sewing to do. YAY! LOL! I came home with lots of extra thread, so I really have to hurry and get my sewing space organized so I can get busy again.
Tonight, of course, is business class; but maybe I'll get a little done when I get home.

Today is "Brutus Day" ... "Ides of March" ... "True Confessions Day" ... "Absolutely Incredible Kid Day" ... "Everything You Think Is Wrong Day" ... "Dumbstruck Day" ... "American Legion Day (1919)" ... "Buzzard's Day" ... "Escalator Day (1892)" ... "Quilting Day" ... "Admission Day (Maine)" ... "Canberra Day (Australia)" ... "Constitution Day (Belarus)".

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."
-- Henry David Thoreau

"Forever is composed of nows."

Classic Quotes by Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) U.S. President
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a
slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is
in error.

Today in history:
In 1493, Christopher Columbus returned to Spain after his first voyage to the New World.

In 1820, as part of the Missouri Compromise between the North and the South, Maine was admitted into the Union as the 23rd state. It had been administered as a province of Massachusetts since 1647.
