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)"

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