~ I Awoke...
... to a warm stuffy bedroom. Even with the fan running it was still stuffy. I opened the south bedroom window and the front door to get a cross breeze going. It's 71 degrees right now. After a high of 75 this afternoon temperatures are expected to tumble into the 30s by morning. After that, afternoon highs in the 30s and 40s are expected with lows in the teens and 20s.
~ I Am Hearing...
... the fridge and the fan in my kitchen running...that is all.
~ I Am Thankful For...
... the forthcoming cooler weather.
~ Something That Makes Me Smile...
... receiving letters from my grandchildren in the mail.
~ I Am Thinking...
... about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Today marks the 47th anniversary of it's sinking in Lake Superior. I'll never forget that day. We had just returned from our latest trip up there in September of that year. Mom and I were in the kitchen when the news report came over the radio. She was doing dishes; I was sweeping the floor. Upon hearing the news, we both immediately stopped what we were doing and looked at each other horrified. Then, we began crying, hugging, and praying. It was awful! My heart still aches for the families of captain and crew.
The annual Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Beacon Lighting ceremony will be held this afternoon at Split Rock Lighthouse near Two Harbors, Minnesota where the names of the crew will be read to the tolling of a ship's bell. It is a solomn occasion that will be broadcast live online. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. Central time today.
~ My Plans For Today...
... I didn't get to go shopping yesterday, as planned, so will be doing it today on the way to a doctor appointment in Lockwood. I need a few grocery items at Walmart, but am mostly looking for Christmas cards and some Christmas craft items needed to start working on a gift idea. I'm thinking Dollar Tree might have just what I'm looking for. Will have lunch with Amber and the children and plan on paying my property taxes at the courthouse while we're in town.
~ What's For Supper...
... chili or soup with crackers.
Well, that's it for today! What's your day ahead look like? Feel free to share!
Until next time...
