Good Morning! Friday June 18, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and will be in the low 90s again. The forecast is for partly cloudy and almost no chance of rain. I won't have time to water this morning, so out come the sprinklers tonight!
Last night we had to go to town to pick up a prescription, so ate while there. When we got home it was late, but I did continue my hunt - unsuccessfully - for the elusive paperwork.
Tonight, as well as running the sprinklers, the seach will continue. :)

Today is " Work@Home Father's Day" ... "Evacuation Day (Egypt)".
