Good Morning! Wednesday June 22, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's very warm already, and going to be HOT. Upper 90s, probably 100, and heat indexes up to 105ish. Wow. We may even set a heat record for today. This is definately a day to stay inside!
Last night I didn't end up getting anything "done". Instead, we took my grandson and went to town for ice cream! Mmmmmmm!! LOL! On a hot summer night, what a great thing to do. I stopped in Wally World and got the containers I needed; and when I got home I did put the last few things back in the cabinet and get the card table out of the kitchen. That counts, right? :)
Tonight I hope to get back to work on the small sewing project I've started. I need to get my mind-set back to finishing big projects!
I will probably also run the sprinklers again. In this heat, if I had time, twice a day might not be too much. :)

Today is "Let It Go Day" ... "UN Public service Day" ... "Victory Day (Estonia)"

Quotes of the Day:
"It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener."

"One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
