Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I suspect we need rain, doesn't seem like we've gotten much for a long time; but today is bright and clear so far. It is supposed to be partly sunny, and upper 50s or maybe even low 60s. I hope for the warmer end, to get the rest of the outside decorations up today.
Yesterday: I got a lot done, but fizzled. I ran out of gas - figuratively and literally! LOL! Once the hands get cold, it's hard to do much, but I managed for awhile. Then I just wrapped up and watched a Christmas movie! :)
Today: I have several errands to run in town, and then that outside stuff this afternoon. Tonight I will work more on inside decorating. I also still have sewing to finish; I did some yesterday, but had to stop last night. Some day I'm going to manage to be organzied! LOL!
Today is "Cyber Monday" ... "Electronic Greetings Day" ... "UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People".
