Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. No rain yesterday, and none in the forecast for today ... just upper 80s, partly cloudy, humid. It might be a day for outside, but I don't know yet. First I have to run the errands that I decided I was too tired to do yesterday! LOL!
I did get some boxes unpacked and flattened; most things are (more or less) in their designated rooms. I still have a lot to do!
Later this morning I will get the errands done, and then decide how the day will go. I have some bookshelves on the porch that I need to bring inside. I hate to do that - they'll be in the way until I can get some furniture re-arranged. And, part of my re-arranging has to wait until I can get someone to come pick up the world's ugliest loveseat! LOL! (will be calling tomorrow, but today is a holiday).
Today, being Memorial Day (observed), is a day of remembrance and honor and prayer for all, past and present, of our service men and women. It is also ... to my way of thinking ... a day of joy and thankfulness for the freedoms we have because of our brave military. (no lecture, just an opinion! :) ).
Today is "Memorial Day (Observed)" ... "Prayer For Peace, Memorial Day" ... "What You Think Upon Grows Day" ... "World No Tobacco Day" ... "Anniversary - Copyright Law".
Quotes of the Day:
"You pile up enough tomorrows and you'll be left with nothing but a bunch of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering."
-- Meredith Willson, "The Music Man"
"A waist is a terrible thing to mind."
-- Jane Caminos
