Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's almost a mild summer day ... low 80s and sunny. We're going to spend the day with our son & family to go to "Mum Fest" (and hopefully, actually buy some mums this year! LOL!) and celebrate his birthday. This iwll be just a wonderful day for an outdoor festival. I hope they have some great items at the craft show ... I'm in serious "Christmas shopping" mode! LOL!
Last night we had an errand to run that took a big chunk of the evening (and also my "ambition"! LOL!), so very little got done. I got a few "hot-spots" straightened. This morning I still have to get trash bagged up, and we'll drop that off on our way out of town.
Tomorrow I'll play "catch up". At least, I hope so! :)
Today is "Leif Erikson Day" ... "UN World Post Day" ... "Universal Music Day" ... "Alphabet Day (Korea)" ... "Day of National Honor (Peru)" ... "Leif Erikson Day (Iceland)" ... "Independence Day (Uganda)".
