Good Sunday Everyone! Karla has asked me to be today's QotD "Guest Host." I am very excited and promise not to disappoint!
Today here on the Suncoast, it is suppose to be sunny and "cool" with a high of 52. I put cool in quotations, because I think that's darn cold for Florida. However, for some of you all in the northern part of the country, 52 is probably short shorts and short sleeves type of weather.
I know you all are saying... "Get on with the question!" (), so that's what I will do!
