Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's very gray out, but not as cold. I think rain (or worse) may be a possiblity in the next day or so; but temps in the upper 40s or even 50s mean pretty much rain. I don't think we have a lot of "outside" stuff to do, so it doesn't matter too much. :)
Yesterday: We actually got away from the house pretty much on time, and went (3 hours) to my DB/DSIL's house. We got here in time for lunch, and then just sat around relaxing for the afternoon. Last night we had a minor bout of "excitement". We had planned on going to a certain restaurant. We got there and the parking lot was empty, no exterior sign lights. But .. the inside lights were on. My SIL walked up to the door ... which was unlocked ... but not a person inside! Strange!! We checked next door, the manager sent someone over to check it out, and then called the police. We waited until they got there, told them what we saw, and we left. I wonder if there will be something in the papers??? Anyway, we went elsewhere and had the most wonderful wings! And then he took us through the light park to see the displays (hour wait in line to get in! Yikes!). It was a lovely evening.
Today: Everyone slept late, and we're all being lazy. I think we might go out later ... maybe to a historic site, maybe some shopping ... and maybe nothing! LOL! Whatever we do, it will be a nice day, and so relaxing to just forget about all the things undone at home! LOL!
Today is "International Shareware Day" ... "National Day of the Horse" ... "UN International Mountain Day" ... "Anniversary - UNICEF" ... "Admission Day (Indiana)" ... "National Day (Burkina Faso)".
