Thank you Laura. It is only 8 am but I already have things ready for my BBQ today. Just hubby and myself having a nice day. I am going to kick his a$$ at Mario cart today. Wish me luck!

My husband and I were planning on going to Dragon Con in Atlanta this summer. Well, that is now cancelled. The Canadian border is still closed and I am to high risk to leave my house. Sigh. At least I can read as much as I want to and have tea on my balcony.
