Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and perhaps not quite as cold .. around 40 today I think; meaning probably low to mid 40s here.
Yesterday: We didn't end up going back to town. After church my DIL worked on decorations instead. In the evening I went to their "small group" get together with them. I enjoyed that.
Today: We left DS's house by 7:15, and I was home by 9:00. Now I'm catching up a bit of laundry, and have a lot of bills to pay and errands to run. It's going to be a busy day for sure.
I love visiting DS & family, but I'm glad to be home again too. :)
Today is "Chanukah (Jewish - 5th day/6th night)" ... "Miner's Day" ... "National Pawnbrokers Day" ... "Saint Nicholas Day" ... "Constitution Day (Spain)" ... "Independence Day (Finland)".
