Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and sunny, and very cold! The forecasters here (2 hours from home) are saying the "s" word for Sunday ..
just "a few stray flakes" .. but I really don't believe that will happen.
Yesterday: I had another quiet day, just me and the dogs and the bird. The dogs slept all day, and then got crazy when everyone else got home! LOL!
Last night we went to the middle school Christmas band concert (my DGD is 1st flute in 7th grade Intermediate Band - I might have mentioned that before? LOL).
I totally enjoyed the whole performance (unlike some rude people, we did not leave early). Afterwards, we went out to a Chinese buffet - yum!!
We got back here and found out one of the dogs had raided my suitcase for something to chew up. Hmmmm.
Today: So far this is another quiet day. I find a few things to do .. fold some laundry, wash a few dishes. Mostly, I just watch TV, read, play with the computer.
If I were at home I'd be finding a lot of things, and sewing - it's kind of hard to do nothing! :) Tonight we're supposed to go on a trolley ride through historic New Bern.
I'm looking forward to that, even though it will be cold!
