Thank you very much, HmG~
Shannon & I were just talking about Hunter & Hailey running around together again & having all kinds of adventures Xoxo

Yes I believe that Hunter & Hailey are together and that we will all meet our beloved pets on the other side.
Continued thoughts and prayers.

There's a quote that Mr. loves ... I don't know who said it. But it says that when you get to heaven, all the dogs you ever loved come running to greet you.

I'm not in a hurry to get there, but I'm sure I'll see my "babies again" ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Good Saturday afternoon everyone! It is an overcast yet humid day here today, which makes it a good day to stay inside! Went out to go to a farmers market yesterday and my car battery was dead. Charged it to get it going but it was dead again this morning so had to buy a new battery. It's always something!! I have a roast and potatoes in the oven and the house smells amazing! We will also have corn on the cob for dinner. (It is my goal to stuff as much corn on the cob into my body as I can while it is still summer! It is one of the only things I like about summer! My husband is getting kind of sick of it but I swear I could eat it everyday!) I hope everyone has a great and safe Saturday night!

I'm with you!! I could make corn on the cob my supper every night this time of year!! YUM!!!

Good Morning MMC !

Wow, time sure fly's lately for me. Getting canning done takes up a great deal of time. Nothing better than home canned items on those cold winter days ! We are so blessed to have such a great variety from Gods pantry to enjoy !

Also getting items ready to enter into our fall fair, the art challenge I am a part of and work.
Finally getting to see specialist on Thursday about my arm, really praying for a solution to constant pain.
My daughter now has her licence and her own car and wonders why she took so long to do it LOL
Penny has a problem with itchy ears and has been given a spray that has to be applied twice a day. She is not impressed, but it is fixing the problem. 4 more days of it and then she is done.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday !

Looks delicious!!
Prayers that the specialist can help you out! xx
Congrats to your daughter!!!!

Good Sunday morning! It will be another gorgeous Summer day but humidity is on the rise again. Wish I could go out on long walks in the mornings when it's cool but I can't wear shoes for very long yet after all the troubles I got from wearing new shoes with no socks. The blisters are gone but I have spots at the back of my feet where I lost pieces of skin and it's still very sensitive. I already have a load of laundry out to dry and we have some errands to run this morning. Other than that it will be a quiet, relaxing day. Hope it's a great one for everyone!

I feel your pain, but in a different way ... planter fasciitis!! Hope your feet are better by now!! xx

Good day, my Christmas friends! Hope y'all are well. Busy day scheduled for here today...we start school tomorrow and I will be taking two to Pre-K....TWO!!! MY, OH MY!

That's crazy!! Weren't they just born?? I hope they both love Pre-K!! And I hope you have a good school year! So hard to believe it's starting again!

Morning all and a happy Sunday. I hope the weekend has treated you all well. Bit of a boring one for us in all honesty but the weather is a little more autumnal which is pleasant. Cup of tea and some book time before bed is in order.

Happy Monday Tis!! Hope you enjoyed the tea & the book & I hope you're having a good Monday!

The rain is finally letting up here but we have another chance of storms later tonight. I’m so over it! Enjoy the rest of the day SFM!!!

Good Evening, friends~

Hope you're all having a nice, relaxing Sunday.

I did a little decorating today, and some laundry too. And caught up with my family as well.

It's too hot and humid to spend much time outside, unfortunately! Looking forward to a cool down.

Wishing you all a blessed night!

Love that you are decorating!!! Can't wait for pics!!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Sunday!
We got back from my friend’s beach house last night and I spent most of the day catching up on laundry. It is supposed to be rainy for the next few days. Just relaxing now and gearing up for work tomorrow. Hope you all have a good night!

Hope your work day is going well. Welcome back!

 

[Holiday]

It’s been sooo hot and humid here, unfortunately it’s going to continue through all of next week. Autumn temperatures can’t get here soon enough. It’s so exciting that you started decorating! Can’t wait to see your pictures, I look forward to it every year!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the evening. Sending hugs!

Good morning and Happy Monday MMC!!!
We’re expecting showers and storms today with highs near 80 degrees. I would like to make a Target run at some point, I’ll see if we get a break with the weather. Other than that I’ll be working on my daily chores. I have chicken defrosting for dinner, just not sure what I’m going to do with it. I think I’ll browse Pinterest for a new recipe. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!!
xx

Hope you found something yummy & you're having a great day!

Good Morning, Folks.
Back in the trenches again, after our visit to Florida.
Everything went well during the trip. Even the weather cooperated.

But what's this?
Can this be true?
Our Season count. It has declined to DOUBLE-DIGITS since I have been gone.
Incredible!

Days to the Season: 92
Days to Christmas Day: 134

And here's something else that is just as incredible, if not more so:
TOMORROW, we will be TWO-THIRDS of the way to Christmas Season 2018!
(Now that really doesn't seem possible!)

A big Christmas THANK YOU to our tag-team substitute countdowners, Minta and Edge, for manning the numbers while I was away. And doing it with such class, as befits the quality of friendly folks like they are!

The weather was rainy when we left for Florida and it's rainy again now that we have returned.
(At least we certainly have no drought worries!)
More precip is possible today, and we have begun it at 70 degrees.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone.
It feels good to be back in the saddle!

Welcome back!!!! Thanks to Minta & Edge for filling in!! Hope you had a wonderful trip crown!
