Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's already warm and sunny, and will go up to upper 80s today! Wow, what a lovely Easter weekend this will be. I can remember Easter's where we had to wear our winter coats over our pretty new spring dresses! LOL! This year I have long sleeves ... figures. LOL!!
Last night I was very busy. I got 2 loads of laundry done and put away, plus put up a load of towels (I had forgotten were in the dryer ... oops!). I made a cake and some lemon bars to take to my son's; and also boiled (and peeled - yay me!) eggs. I'm pretty much packed except last minute things.
This morning I "angeled" the eggs (who wants "deviled" eggs? LOL!), and washed a bunch (Big bunch) of dishes. So, I'm pushing getting out on time, but I think I've pretty much done what I needed to get done.
I'll have limited computer access this weekend. I'll try to pop on to say Good Morning if I can ... meantime ... y'all have a Great Easter weekend! Be safe, be happy. :)
