Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's still hot, but perhaps not as hot as yesterday ... only mid to upper 90s today (no triple digits)! :) There's a much better chance of rain this afternoon ... although it's still those "pop-up" storms that tend to miss me. Perhaps today will be different!
Last night I actually got most of the stitching done on my small project. I would have finished ... except ... the bobbin ran out, and it was late. I decided my eyes were too tired to try to rewind it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!
Tonight I should be able to finish; and hopefully, get back to work on another project. If I don't get another lazy streak! :)
Today is "Take Your Dog to Work Day" ... "Anniversary - Battle of Little Bighorn" ... "Ratification Day (Virginia)" ... "Independence Day (Mozambique)" ... "National Day (Bhutan)" ... "National Day (Slovenia)".
Quotes of the Day:
"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."
-- Robert H. Goddard
"Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian."
-- Robert Orben
