Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. All the clouds seem to be gone for now, and it will be a bright clear day, mid 40s or so. The forecast for the rest of the week is up and down a lot ...for the first time in many many years, there's even the mention of the "S" word on Saturday!
Yesterday: As usual, I didn't get nearly as much done as I hoped; but I got started. We didn't end up making all that many cookies (several unexpected delays); but I will make up for that this morning. At least, I hope so! LOL! I did get more decluttering done, and more tree decorating was done.
Today: I will bake more cookies, finish wrapping a few more gifts, and finish the sewing project. I hope to deliver some things this evening (also a chance to ride around and see lights! LOL!)
