Good morning! It's a wonderful morning; although way too early! LOL! I'm getting ready to leave for a few days, and have to make an early start. It's going to be a warm and cloudy day ... maybe showers, maybe not. I haven't heard a forecast for the area of the state I'll be in, but probably not a whole lot different.
Yesterday I finished the "great kitchen floor project"!! Wow, it's a really BIG floor! I got a few other things done, but not what I hoped. Oh well, it'll be waiting when I get home, probably Saturday. :)
Today is "Feast of Saint Augustine of Canterbury" ... "National Senior Health and Fitness Day" ... "Independence Day (Georgia)" ... "Sorry Day (Australia)".
Quotes of the Day:
"There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."
