Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit gray and humid, but I think the forecast is for only a "chance" of afternoon showers. We have had a bit of rain at home this week, so everything seems to be thriving. I still have outdoor stuff that needs to be done, but it will have to be put off (unless the weather holds for my "gardner" to help! LOL!). We got home late last night, and unloaded a car full of stuff; my son's truck full of stuff (only part of that had to be unloaded, he had things for his house too); and a bit more from a trailer. Our neighbor came over and helped, so it got done fairly quickly. Now I just have to figure out where it all goes! LOL!
This morning I have a load of laundry in the dryer, and the kitchen floor is mopped (thanks Joyce!!!). I have errands to run later this afternoon, and in between all the errands and "regular" cleaning, I have boxes to unpack. My guest room project gets put off, but (hopefully) only by a week - depending on how much energy I can dredge up today and tomorrow! LOL!
Today is "Loomis Day" ... "Memorial Day (Traditional)" ... "Orthodox Festival of All Saints (Orthodox)" ... "Saint Joan of Arc Feast Day" ... "Trinity Sunday (Christian)" ... "Anniversary - First American Daily Newspaper Published" ... "Anniversary - Lincoln Memorial".
