Happy Friday MMC! TGIF to everyone. Looks like a sunny but chilly weekend coming after a rainy Friday. I'm just ready for some rest. I woke up last night and couldn't fall back to sleep for a while. Hope you all enjoy your Friday!

Good Morning MMC !

Merry Friday MMC ~
It’s going to be cloudy with a high of 53 degrees. We’re expecting rain later this afternoon in to the evening, could be heavy at times so I’m going to get my errands over with early. I have to stop at the pet store for a couple of things. I’m picking my youngest up afterward and we’re going to a boutique to look at mother of the bride dresses. I really need to find a dress soon! Other than that I will be working on the laundry. Dinner will be beef stew over egg noodles. I guess that’s about it for me. I hope everyone has a nice day and a wonderful weekend ahead!!!

Good Morning, Folks.
Day two of our Special Post Series!

Let's look at the daily data before we review the post status.
Days to the Season: 4 (Barely over HALF A WEEK left!!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 13 (UNDER the TWO WEEKS mark!)
Days to Christmas Day: 46 (Just over 6 1/2 weeks remain!)

And if that isn't exciting enough for you, here is the remaining Special Post schedule:
Today (Day 4 before the Season) = Binger (posted above)
Tomorrow (Day 3 before the Season) = SnowflakeMom
Nov. 11 (Day 2 before the Season) = Ballcoach
Nov. 12 (Day 1 before the Season) = Minta
Keep tuned!

And then.
Oh, and THEN!
The evening of the 12th, when we meet here in real time to count down the final hours and minutes to the start of Christmas Season 2018.
(So much to look forward to in the coming days!)

Our weather is definitely turning colder. We should top out in the upper 50's today and the low 50's tomorrow before dropping into the 20's tomorrow night!
Right now, we perceive 52 degrees on our back door thermometer.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!
Enjoy your Weekend Eve.

A poem! And a good one. Right on point.
Excellent post for Day 4 before the Season, my friend!

Good morning and Happy Friday. My oldest is on her way to camp for the weekend and my youngest is going to a sleepover tonight. A kid free night means Date Night! Planning on going out for dinner and do some Christmas shopping tonight. In the mean time going to get some cleaning done. Have a great day!

TGIF!! Another week down and closer to the holidays! We are leaving tonight for my aunt's wake and funeral tomorrow. Just typical work day for me...hope you all have a great day!
I’m very sorry for your family’s loss SnowflakeMom. Dementia is such a cruel condition. Hope you find peace being together with all your family as your aunt is now at peace.

Good Friday morning! It’s much chillier today than it has been the last couple of days. I’m working the afternoon/evening shift so right now I have a load of laundry in the dryer and I’m cuddled on the couch with Loki looking up local Christmas activities online. I saw a second house with Christmas lights on last night. Slowly but surely signs of Christmas are popping up. Have a great day everyone!

Happy Friday everyone. There's a few flakes of snow falling, but it won't last. It's expected to turn to rain later this afternoon. Here are the other ornaments I picked up on Tuesday for my early Christmas shopping adventures. These are for our tree, not for my exchangers. I'm keeping those secret.
