Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. We're already past the "cool" spell, and warming to upper 60s today. We didn't actually get much (any) rain, and today most of the clouds will be gone, leaving us sunny and breezy. Perfect spring weather! :)
Last night I got some more sorting and organizing done. I tackled an aggravating project ... sorting spools of thread. Silly things just keep tangling, no matter what I do! LOL! But, they are where they belong for now; and I practiced a bit on the new machine. I sure have a lot to learn there!
I watched AI of course. It's harder now to "choose", though my top favorites are still the same. Some that I liked before were disappointing; and some I didn't choose were surprisingly good.
I have no clue who will go home tonight! LOL!
Don't forget to wear GREEN today! :)
Today is "St. Patrick's Day" ... "Camp Fire USA/Founder's Day" ... "Evacuation Day" ... "National Day (Ireland)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else."
