<---GOOD MORNING.......

<---is now remembering why <---tends to avoid lots of store shopping after Turkey Day!!!:eek:
<---STILL hasn't refilled coffee cup! Gotta do it NOW!!!!!
 
<---hails the brrr cold 31 degree morning, waiting for the 66 degree high and the wonderful Sun and wondering when she became such a wuss and starting finding such temps frigid?
<---hates to complain when so many experience REAL cold but can't help herself, wrapped in layers of clothes wishing she owned a hat with a pom pom on top.
<---says go, Marcia! Has noticed the awesome job working out our Mrs. Shultz is doing and says YAY!
<---wishes all a beautiful start to a beautiful day and heads off to clean something.
