Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be right back up there, sunny and mid 70s. We didn't end up with much rain yesterday, so I'll have to get out there and water soon.
Last night I moved bookcases around, and settled on where they'll live now. I watched the results show (strange choices in entertainment!), and was not very surprised at the end. I'm still glad my favorites are there.
Tonight I guess I'll work on finishing moving things around so I can get my space cleaned up! :)
Again ... asking that you all pray for Mama please!
Today is "Tax Day" ... "Income Tax Pay Day" ... "National High Five Day" ... "National That Sucks Day" ... "Anniversary - Titanic Sinking".
