Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear; but will be chilly again, low 50s. This is (more or less) what it's *supposed* to be like in late November. I'm not crazy about cold, of course; but we need all the seasons.
Yesterday: I got a busy start to the day, and got a lot of things done. By mid afternoon "the kids" got here, and we got the big tree assembled and lit (and someday I'm going to splurge on a big pre-lit!! LOL!). Everyone worked on decorating it - until we ran out of hooks, and the grands got bored! :) When it got dark, we went to see the lights. It wa nice and cold, just like it should be, and we rode the little "train" through the light park; and then went in the candy store. It was a lovely afternoon and evening!
Today: I plan to finish up several projects and work on sewing, even though I've gotten a very late start. I sure slept well! LOL! I hope to get most of the inside decorating finished, and get a lot done on the sewing I had hoped to finish by today.
Today is "Advent - First Sunday" ... "John F. Kennedy Day (Massachusetts)" ... "Independence Day (Albania)" ... "Independence Day (Mauritania)" ... "Republic Day (Chad)".
