Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Or at least, I think it will be .. when it's daylight! LOL! It's very cold; and the forecast is for possibly a trace of snow! Yikes! But, it should go to low 40s, so more likely rain; and the sun may peep out by the afternoon.
Yesterday: I had a very busy day. I got several things done that I wanted to, and a lot more not done. But instead I had a visit from a friend, which was lovely. And later another friend dropped by, and while here ... fixed the TV! Yay! I got some work done on a sewing project, and also got 2 roasts cooked and in the freezer.
Today: We're leaving in just a few minutes for an early doctor appointment. Hopefully, only the one for today and we'll be home by afternoon. :)
Today is "Knights Of Columbus Founders Day" ... "National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day" ... "Texas Love the Children's Day (Tx)" ... "Commemoration Day (Madagascar)" ... "Youth Day (Taiwan)".
