Good Morning! Monday June 28, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright out, but seems a bit overcast; the forecast is for partly sunny, upper 90s, and humid. As usual, there's the chance of afternoon storms. None came yesterday, so most everything got watered last night. It actually turned a bit cooler just as it got dark - a pleasant surprise! :)
It was hot yesterday, even inside with a/c running, so I didn't get as much done as I hoped; but I did get 2 more chairs down from upstairs and the covers off the seats. I got floors mopped, the kitchen counters cleaned, and laundry finished.
They keep saying we're going to get a "cool spell" ... looks like the end of the week it might even drop into the 80s. Meantime, I'll keep muddling along the best I can to keep up with things. Once again, I'm hoping tonight I'll get the sewing project finished. :)

Today is "Please Take My Children to Work Day" ... "Anniversary - Monday Holiday Law" ... "Anniversary - Stonewall Riots".
