Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast for today is "mostly" sunny to start and cloudy with showers by afternoon. So far it's gorgeous sunshine! It will be mid to upper 60s, much cooler than yesterday. I do hope we get some showers ... for all that it's been cloudy and windy, we've gotten barely a sprinkle or two of rain.
Last night I got one of the cabinets assembled! Yay! I have one more to go ... but may have to rest a night in between! LOL!
Tonight I will watch AI; and see how much I can get done. I have made a start on filling the two cabinets in place, so maybe I'll keep working on that. :)
Today is "Babe Ruth Day" ... "Matanzas Mule Day" ... "National Teach Children to Save Day" ... "Independence Day (Sierra Leone)" ... "Independence Day (Togo)".
