Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sky is pale but clear. It'll be another lovely fall day, with low 60s, and mostly sunny. I have a lot planned, but hope to find some time to work on the outdoor stuff while the weather holds so nice.
Yesterday: I got a little bit of cleaning done in the morning. In the afternoon I had a hair cut, and then went grocery shopping. While out, I stopped in Lowe's for white duct tape .... and found the perfect (for me) washer/dryer ... on sale!!!! They will be delivered this weekend ... I'm so excited! LOL!
Today: Today will be Thanksgiving day with friends. I have a huge turkey to go put in the roaster; and later, my friend and I together will fix side dishes. Tonight we'll feast. :)
