Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. We didn't get a lot of rain yesterday (some got more than others, as usual); but it's gone now.
Today will be mid 60s, sunny and breezy. We're back to lovely fall days!
Yesterday: After work I drove to DS's house ... Yay me, 2 hours in the dark and didn't get lost at all ... not even a "wrong" lane! LOL!
Today: The morning started off strangely ... I just don't see how 4 people can sleep through 3 obnoxiously loud alarms for an hour! LOL! But, everyone got off
to work and school on time; now the house is quiet except for the dog whining at the back door (she stays in the yard in the day time). Eventually DH will get up,
and we'll head back home. This afternoon I hope to start bringing the Christmas trees downstairs and deciding where they're going to be. Oh, the excitement!! :)
Today is "Homemade Bread Day" ... "National Educational Support Professionals Day" ... "Anniversary - Suez Canal".
