Good morning! It's beautiful morning. It seems like we waited longer this year, but it's now that wonderful time of year I love so much ... mildly warm days, cool nights, and so many gorgeous things in bloom! Today will be low 70s, clear and sunny.
Yesterday: I usually have a hard time changing plans with short notice. But, I didn't have much planned except TV (quiet plans! LOL!); so when I got a last minute chance to do something, I took it. I met my DS, DDIL, DGS, and DGD at a corn maze! It was just a perfect day for being outside, and it was a lot of fun. And ... we found all 12 "markers", and were only there about 2 hours. I did get most of the other things done I had planned, so it was a really nice day.
Today: This will still be a quiet day. I'm not going to try to "catch up" ... nothing but routine cleaning to do. And of course, the never-ending laundry. I have some "easy" projects to tackle, such as gluing another chair, pruning a plant (that Maggie thought it was fun to climb - one of the reasons she is currently confined to the kitchen), assembling the new chair, and maybe cleaning the clutter under the kitchen sink. :)
Today is "Halloween" ... "All Hallows Eve" ... "Beggar's Night" ... "Magic Day" ... "National Knock-Knock Day" ... "National UNICEF Day" ... "Reformation Day" ... "Admission Day (Nevada)".
Qoutes of the Day:
"Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret."
-- Laurence J. Peter
"Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't."
-- Pete Seeger
"I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."
-- Gilda Radner
