Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and exceptionally bright with the sun shining on all that snow! It's to go to the low 50s today, so a lot of the snow will be gone; there's so much of it, so at least the shadier areas will stay snowy for a few more days.
Yesterday: My morning appointment didn't turn out to be what it was supposed to; but I did get a massage and a hair trim. I took care of some bank business, and then went shopping! I had to check out those after-Christmas sales you know! :) I found a few bargains, but over all didn't get much for next year. I did get a good buy on some utility shelving. Yay! Last night we went to our local favorite restaurant - no dishes! :)
Today: In just a little while I'm going to make a quick run to the grocery store. Later today DS & his family will come for a visit. We'll probably have an early dinner so they can get home again. Oh, and (hopefully) I'll actually get some laundry done! LOL!
Today: "Saint Thomas of Canterbury Feast Day" ... "Tick Tock Day" ... "Anniversary - YMCA" ... "Admission Day (Texas)".
