Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It will be a lot "cooler" than yesterday ... only low 90s! LOL! Yesterday we set high temps records. The weatherman noted that we had also set cold temp records this year. Oh well. :) It's a bit overcast this morning, and will be mostly cloudy ... hopefully with some showers. Even with watering, a good summer rain makes my garden so happy!
Last night Jimmy decided it was too hot to cook. OK with me, I needed to get some things in town anyway. It was late when we got back; but I didn't expect to get anything done anyway. :) I don't know if I will tonight either; except I might bring home a new kitten tonight.
It feels a bit "odd" to not have anything planned. I am going to a friend's house Saturday; but I have no trips to make until October, and no one coming to visit planned at the moment. I'm hoping to work out visits from 2 of my nieces, and would love to be able to take weekend trips both west and east ... but nothing is lined up for now. Hmmm ... I really *should* get sewing done!! :)
Today is "Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama (SCUD) Day".
Quotes of the Day:
"Few things are more satisfying than seeing your own children have teenagers of their own.

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."

Inspirational Joy for the Day:
Don't try to hold God's hand; let Him hold yours.
Let Him do the holding and you do the trusting.
