Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sun is shining, and the ground is still well covered with snow. It's just gorgeous - especially since most of the roads are clear! :) Today will be warmer, low 40s, and less windy. Sadly, the lovely snow will be gone in a few days.
Yesterday: We finally headed out for home in the early afternoon, and did not have any trouble at all. The only places there was any ice or snow was a shady area of our own road when we were nearly home. I got the car unloaded, and got unpacked. But, I confess, nothing else ... laundry still awaits! Last night DH's son came over, and we (finally! LOL!) opened gifts. I was given some really nice things!! (DH gave me jewelry, candy, and flowers, and a few other things - what more can a girl ask for? LOL!!)
Today: I have a hair appointment, and after that I will try to check out some of the after-Christmas sales. I also *plan* to get that laundry done, and a little bit of general straightening. It was nice that I managed to leave the house fairly neat! :)
Today: "Childermas/Holy Innocents Day" ... "Pledge of Allegiance Day" ... "Admission Day (Iowa)".
