Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear and seasonably mild. Today will be upper 60s and mostly sunny. It's just a lovely fall day.
Yesterday: We had a great time, though it was a long day. My friend, her son, my niece and I first went to the Farmer's Market. It is a wonderful place to go in the fall! There is so much yummy fresh produce, flowers, pumpkins; the weather was cool enough to be comfortable walking around; and going on a weekday meant not quite such a crowd to navigate! It was all so colorful and smelled so good. I came home with tomatoes, snap beans, and apple cider. Then we went across town to the "re-store" (a habitat store). I'm so excited ... I've been wanting ceiling fans for several rooms, but at $80 to $100 and up, I just couldn't do it (at least, not for a rental house). So, I found THREE perfect fans (with light fixtures) for UNDER $60 - that's totall for all 3!! Woo Hoo!! Now I just have to get someone to install them for me! LOL! Then we decided it was time to eat, and I made the misake of getting "caught" in rush hour traffic. Yikes!! Now I remember why we haven't moved back "to town". Anyway, we finally reached a cafeteria, had a nice supper, and then walked around a shopping center a bit. There were several unique stores, and I even managed to do a bit of Christmas shopping!
Today: I will be playing "catch up" ... slowly and quietly. DH rode down to GA and back (a full 24 hours) to watch our grandson play his last football game. He'll be sleeping all day! I have several things lined up to work on ... including vegging out in front of the TV for some afternoon HGTV! :)
Today is "Checklists Day" ... "Create a Great Funeral Day" ... "Devil's Night" ... "Haunted Refrigerator Night" ... "National Forgiveness Day".
