Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be cooler ... actually, more "usual" for late November. It will be in the low 60s, and mostly clear. It will be a nice outdoors day, if we have time to tackle any of the yard.
Yesterday: It was mid afternoon before we finally got back home. I didn't get a lot done; but I did bring most of the larger Christmas trees downstairs. Ahhh ... feeling more Christmasy already (and they aren't even decorated yet! LOL!)
Today: I'm trying to catch up a few random cleaning bits this morning. I have an appointment this afternoon, and then heading for the grocery store. I have company coming tomorrow ... time to stock up for dinner! :)
Today is "Great American Smokeout" ... "Married to a Scorpio Support Day" ... "Birthday - Mickey Mouse" ... "Independence Day (Latvia)" ... "National Holiday (Oman)".
