Good Morning! Tuesday June 28, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It will be hot again later, but so far it's nice and comfortable. Although more rain is predicted (maybe) for later today, we didn't get any of the storms yesterday. So, "just in case", the sprinklers are going this morning! We're back to hot again, upper 90s today, and everything is very thirsty! :)
Yesterday: We had a fun excursion. It ended up 4 of us going, and everyone had a good time even though it was "just" shopping. We went to a storre farther away that we don't get to often; but I went for something specific, they had what I needed - and it was on sale! Score! LOL! We went to Chik-Fil-A for lunch, and barely got insdie before the rain came - sat there and ate and watched it pour! But we got nearly home again ... and the roads were dry.
Today: It's a dialysis and work day, so I'm not planning to get much done. I'll probably stop for groceries on the way home, and tonight will do laundry. At some point I have to get more motivated to finish my cleaning projects; but not tonight! LOL!

Today is "National Columnist's Day" ... "Anniversary - Monday Holiday Law" ... "Anniversary - Stonewall Riots" ... 'Please Take My Children to Work Day".
