Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear; the clouds seem to have blown away. It's very cold .. according to the forecast, will be upper 40s at home.
Since I'm nearer the coast right now, it may be a bit higher .. but still very chilly. It's December, it's supposed to be cold! :)
Yesterday: Once I got "settled", it was a very quiet day. I played on the computer, read, watched TV. When everyone got home from work and school .. it was still pretty quiet. :)
The grands had big hugs for grandma ... and then disappeared into their rooms! LOL!
Today: This will be another quiet restful day. The dogs mostly nap until afternoon, and then we'll play the "out-the-door-and-back-in-again" game. I have to be careful that the little one doesn't get under the fence and run away.
I'll find a few things to do around here, and mostly just read and watch TV. Tonight is the school band program, and I'm looking forward to that.
Today is "Chanukah (Jewish - 1st day/2nd night)" ... "Special Education Day" ... "UN International Day for the Abolition of Slavery" ... "National Day (United Arab Emirates)" ... "National Day (Laos)".
