Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and going up to lower 90s again today. Last night lots of little showers and storms moved across the state, but none of them came near my house again. Everything will get watered today, even though there is a "chance" of rain tomorrow.
Last night didn't go quite as I thought, but it's ok. I was a little later getting home (quick grocery stop), and found Jimmy had been out and about running errands too. So, we decided to go to a small local restaurant. It was very good, just plain "home-cooking", buffet style. Our neighbor is a cook there; and when we went to pay, found to our surprise our meal was "taken care of"! What a lovely surprise.
We got home in time for my shows ... none of which were reruns. So, a lazy night and very little decluttering got done. There's always tonight! :)
Today is "Beaufort Scale Day" ... "No Pants Day".
