Good morning! It is a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and will be sunny and upper 60s today. This will be another wonderful fall day, and perfect for our outdoor plans.
Yesterday: The day turned into a delightful surprise. We went to pick up my niece, and my sister had decided to come along. We went to brunch at the Farmer's Market and then strolled around, enjoying the colorful market (and came home with some yummy things); then we went shopping at a World Market (found more Christmas), and ... oh Joy!! .. went to a Joann's. I have no fabric shops near me, this was wonderful! LOL! Then, after an all day shopping trip, my sister treated me to my first ever pedicure. Aaaahhhhhhhh!!! (and my toes are so pretty now! LOL!). Then we (GF, niece, and I) made a quick grocery stop and came back here. We had dip and roast chicken and various left overs, and sat up late watching movies (I took my friend home after "Pretty Woman"). It was a fun day!
Today: We're getting a slow start, but getting a few things done this morning. In a little while my friend will come here (she has a ride this morning), and the 3 of us will go eat breakfast. Then we'll get started on those outside decorations! We sure have a gorgeous day for it, so hope we get a lot done. Later this evening I'll take my niece back home.
Today is "World Kindness Day".
