Good Morning! Thursday April 29, 2010

Good morning! It's another beautiful morning. They just don't stop. :) I "normally" prefer fall ... but this has truly been one of the nicest springs I can remember. Last night did get cold, but no frost in my yard. Today will be sunny, mildly breezy, and mid 70s. How perfect! (except for needing some rain).
Last night I got that last cabinet assembled. It gave me a hard time for some reason, but I prevailed! Yay! I also got 2 loads of laundry done, though not put away yet. I'll finish the laundry tonight, and try to get most --if not all-- and the misc. clutter put away in new homes. I definately have too much clutter! LOL!

Today is "Poem in Your Pocket Day" ... "Anniversary - Zipper Patent" ... "Cheng Cheng Kung Landing Day (Taiwan)" ... "Showa Day (Japan)".

Quotes of the Day:
"A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be."
