Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray and chilly out now, but should get to the upper 40s today. That's "warm" compared to where we've been! LOL! It seems like the clouds will hang around awhile, but the only precipitation predicted isn't until Saturday. That "S" word is still there, but unlikely to be near the coast where I'll be.
Yesterday: It was a bit frustrating ... silly Maggie wanted to "help" me make cookies. But I got some made anyway; and might even get one more batch made today. I also finished the chair covers, and delivered them. It was lovely to get to have a (brief) visit with my sister, and 2 nieces (and saw the 3rd niece Sunday evening). The chair covers are quite festive ... maybe next year I'll make some for my house! :) We ran a few quick errands while out, and stopped at a new (to us) Italian restaurant for dinner.
Today: This morning I'm going to my friend's house and we'll make candy together (without any feline help!!). This afternoon, hopefully, she is going with DH to "help" him do some Christmas shopping. While they're gone, I *plan* to finish cleaning the house, and add some decorations to some of the trees. :) Since things rarely go as planned, it'll be interesting to see how this day goes! LOL!
