Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! We didn't get much more rain yesterday, but still might today. It will be low 70s, mostly cloudy until later afternoon when it might start to clear a bit. I'm very happy for it to be cooler, and for whatever rain we get.
Last night I got laundry done and put away, and a tablecloth hemmed (and put on the table). I wasn't able to work on my floor scrubbing project - I have realized that will simply have to wait until there's no one else in the house - or at least no one awake! LOL!
I watched AI of course; and I believe another of my original 3 picks will go home tonight. However, 3rd place is not a bad place to be!! Lee was not one of my picks, but I was very impressed. I think the final will be between Crystal and Lee - will find out tonight.
Note: for those of you who do not follow AI ... sorry ... one more week and then you won't hear about it again until January! LOL!
