    I am going to a craft show in the morning and then will work on house stuff, such as getting spring supplies for outside and I MUST clean out my car so I can put my WeatherTech floor mats in the hubs got me for Christmas. I need to vacuum the heck out of the car because of all the winter salt, etc. Sunday we'll grocery shop and I'm not sure what else because that's the warm but rainy day I believe.

    Have a most enjoyable weekend with hopefully some nice warm spring temps!
