Good Morning! Saturday August 21, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! I don't even remember the forecast for today; but I'm at (almost) the coast now, so it would be different anyway. It's a gorgeous bright clear morning so far, and it's already quite warm (I've already been out walking the dogs!).
Yesterday was very busy, but I actually got everything done I needed to; or at least, everything I've remembered so far! LOL! We left about mid afternoon, got here just after 5:00. Last night our DGD was in a church production (after a week of KidShine "camp"), and it was absolutely fantastic! We are So proud of her. :)
Today will be just relaxing .. or as much of it as possible with a rambunctious puppy! LOL! I expect we'll be in and out a lot with the dogs .. or at least the puppy. Other than that, watch TV, play on the computer, eat when we feel like it. Hmmm ... wonder what it is I'm forgetting? LOL!

Today is "National Homeless Animals Day" ... "Poet's Day" ... "Senior Citizen's Day" ... "World Daffodil Day".

Quotes of the Day:
"Every crowd has a silver lining."

-- Thomas A. Edison, (attributed)

"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand."
-- Woodrow Wilson
