Good  morning splash-- It is a pretty ,sunny morning but cold at -8. Sun is shining so everything is sparkling. Yes countdown is on, I am lucky today in grandson is supposed to come over and help me clean. I really can't  wrestle the vaccuum around ad it is too heavy and grab on the carpets--so once again I have help cleaning.  Did get the pork pies all done so the only thing left will be tomake my clam chowder for Christmas eve. Have a good day.
