Good Morning! Saturday December 4, 2010

Good Morning! It's a wonderful morning. The sky looks a bit "milky" right now, and there's a possibility of precipitation by tonight.
What kind is anyone's guess; but I'm guessing frozen rain! :) It's going to be very cold ... feeling Christmasy weather!
Yesterday: I had one more quiet day here alone. I found things to do: washing dishes (not many since we had eaten out), laundry, re-organized my suitcase.
Mostly I played on the computer and watched HGTV (Christmas specials).
Today: We're going to have a full day now. We're going to a craft show, a parade, and tonight the flotilla (boat parade). And who knows what else we might find to do in between! LOL!

Today is "National Dice Day" ... "Saint Barbara's Day".

Quotes of the Day:
"An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted
yesterday didn't happen today."
-- Laurence J. Peter

"Abundance is, in large part, an attitude.
-- Sue Patton Thoele
