Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. At the moment, I can't see anything beyond the porch except fog! Wow, been a long time since we've had morning fog. Today will be mostly cloudy, upper 60s, and *maybe* a chance for a sprinkle.
Yesterday: I got the grocery shopping done. Better, the pants fit! So I got progress made on hemming them. I didn't finish as I was hoping; but I got the hard part done ... measuring and pinning! The actual stitching won't take too long.
Today: My main focus tonight will be finishing hemming and pressing the suit pants; and (hopefully) get started on the jacket sleeves.
The kitten is still in the kitchen; but she's been calmer lately, so I may let her out a bit ... only a few more weeks and she won't be able to roam until January!
Today is "Miss American Rose Day" ... "National Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day" ... "Missouri Day (Mo)" ... "Revolution Day (Guatemala)".
Qoute of the Day:

-- Thomas Szasz
"There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full."
-- Henry Kissinger
