Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's bright and clear, and might not get quite to 90 today! We had a brief shower last night ... almost not even enough to call rain. I heard that some other areas had storms, but that missed me. Today will include watering!
Last night we went out to dinner ... just because it was Friday night. :) Then I read some more until I got too sleepy. I had a rare treat .. Miss Maggie chose my lap for a nap. She rarely does that (I think I fidgit too much for her! LOL!)
Today I have all the week's worth of cleaning to catch up on. I have a load of laundry started; next thing is to make a list (because I guess I'd forget to breathe if I didn't put it on a list! LOL!). So, I'm off to be productive, and hope everyone has a good weekend! :)
Today is "AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day" ... "Hug a Greeting card Writer Day" ... "International Coastal Cleanup" ... "International Eat an Apple Day" ... "Anniversary - US Air Force" ... "Independence Day (Chile)".
