Good morning everyboomie.
Sunday morning's coming down, and I'm getting up, because my Mom won't let me sleep all day.
Yesterday we were up around 80 degrees, but today is supposed to be 59 for a high.
Such cold days are better spent in bed.
Actually I prefer to be out in 60 degree weather more than 80 degree weather.
I just prefer to be a lazy bum today before going back to work for 6 straight days.
I also prefer to go panning for artifacts at the creek today.
I wonder which preference will win out.
I also prefer you all have a happy day.
