Good Morning! Monday June 20, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's yet another in a long string of hot days, today going to the mid or upper 90s. It's clear and bright this morning, not even a hint of clouds; and only the smallest chance of afternoon "scattered" storms. We were under a torm warning last night; but all we got (at my house) was distance thunder and lightening, still no rain.
Yesterday: I was very busy, and actually got pretty much done with what was on my list. OK, not *everything* on it ... but the main things! LOL! I got a lot of cleaning and decluttering done, and laundry caught up. Last night we went to a friend's house for dinner, and had a nice visit. We got to bring home some leftovers, Plus I didn't have to cook or wash dishes. Nice! :)
Today: I have to concentrate on some paperwork today. There are several things I need to locate ... that are probably in a big box of things waiting to be sorted. Well, today's the day! :( Later in the afternoon we need to take some paperwork to the bank (safe deposit box), and take trash to the dump. Gee, I hope I don't mix up those two! LOL!

Today is "UN World Refugee Day" ... "World Juggling Day" ... "Admission Day (West Virginia)" ... "Flag Day (Argentina)".

Quotes of the Day:
"Drink nothing without seeing it; sign nothing without reading it.
-- Spanish Proverb
