Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's misty again, and while there is sun "out there", it's dim. The forecast is for partly cloudy, and a "chance" of showers. It'll be mid 90s again, a little breezy, and more humid. I think after today they're saying the heat will back off a little bit. For today, I'm hoping for some of those showers; but more likely, I'll have to come home and water!
Last night I had to run an errand and stop by the grocery store (looking for something that was much too high priced at Wal-Mart on Monday!). Even with a late start, I managed to do a bit of cleaning, work on some paperwork, and some sewing!
Tonight I'll try to get more of the sewing part done since I don't think I have any "extra" stops to make me later getting home. :)
Today is "Nixon Pardon Day" ... "Perigean Spring Tides" ... "Rosh Hashanah (begins at sundown - Jewish New Year)" ... "UN International Literacy Day" ... "Anniversary - Star Trek TV Premiere" ... "Independence Day (Macedonia)".
