Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Merry Monday!

Rain is on the way!! Yay!!!

Today I made pear butter for the first time. It turned out okay, but if I make it next year I think I'll add more orange peel and ginger to it as it was a bit on the sweet side. I even cut the sugar by a quarter and it was too sweet. Pears have been dropping from the tree all day. Tomorrow I'll pick another basket full and make either pear bread or a pear crisp.

Have a merry rest-of-the-day and Tuesday!

Sounds delicious!
Have a great day M!!

Our local Lowe's store has huge inflatable Halloween decorations, plastic pumpkins and other decorations out! Hobby Lobby is a dream-come-true, with all of the Fall and Christmas decorations out. Even the local dollar store has Halloween candy out.

I love it!

Nice! Looks to me, like a trip to Lowes will be forthcoming this week.

Ummm, If I send you a 20, do you by chance happen to ship them via next day delivery to Connecticut?

Good Milestone Week Morning, Friends!

Yep. Later this week, we will encounter another ** MILESTONE DAY **.
But for now, we will have to let the anticipation be our guide and motivation.

In that regard, we present this:
Days to the Season: 84
Days to Christmas Day: 126

And as a further inducement to anticipation, we declare that as of today, we are a scant FOUR days away from the 2/3 marker to Christmas Day 2018.
Barely over HALF A WEEK!
(How can we have moved so far so fast?)

We had four inches of rain fall overnight with flooding in parts of Raleigh but not where we live. When will we get out of this monsoon season we seem to be in?
Well, the weather service says by tomorrow. (And we will hold them to it!)
For today, we have again started out overcast with a temperature reading of 74 degrees.

Have a Terrific Tuesday Folks, while visions of Pines Day tomorrow dance in your heads!

Thanks Crown! The days are ticking away in summer!

Thanks everyone. They already found an apartment they love. Their application was accepted and they sign the lease tomorrow. I can not believe how fast this is happening. The apartment is only about 10-15 minutes away from me. They are super excited, I’m happy for them.

Glad to hear they will be so close to you!!! Best wishes to them - and you!

Good morning! Happy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Solice!

Morning MMC! Nothing too special today. Just have to go to pick up my contacts at the eye Dr. and then to the dentist for my 6 month checkup so leaving work a little early (for once this summer). Just seems like I was there in February. Have a great Tuesday!

Hope your appointment goes well! Have a good day Edge!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Good morning Tis!
Hope your day is going well!

Happy Tuesday MMC!
It’s going to be cloudy today with spotty showers and a high of 76 degrees. Not too much going on here. I’m going to help my daughter start the process of packing up all of her belongings. She may be moving in to the apartment with her fiancé as early as this upcoming weekend. They’ll find out the exact day when they sign the lease today. Ugh how did this happen so fast?! I’m so relieved they’ll be nearby!
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!!!
xx

That is happening fast! (((HUGS)))
I hope the packing & your whole day goes well!!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

I see that @Meceka needs some rain, but we've been getting flooded on every evening all summer, and last night was no exception. We were told that rain is unlikely for the next few days, but it sure fell in buckets last night. And, of course, Elizabeth is driving every evening going to play practice. Scares us to death!

I have a busy day ahead of me. I hope y'all have a great day!

Safe travel wishes for Elizabeth!! Hope you are having a good day!

Me too!! They also had out the Thanksgiving paper goods w/ plates with turkeys and cornucopias on them..made me so excited!! LOL Have a great day!

Oh cool! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for Thanksgiving things too. I didn't see any of that YET at the grocery!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Tuesday!
Just typical work for me today and tonight catching up on laundry that I didn't get to because I went grocery shopping.
Hope you all have a great day!

Hope you guys get a reprieve from the rain!
Keeping Elizabeth in my prayers as she travels each night.
Have a great day!

Merry Tuesday, Holiday!
Lucky Jim!! Hope he has fun cleaning, ha ha. Honey-do's!
Hope you have a fantastic day!!

 

[snowflake22]

I agree - they sure are good!! I like it when I have time to start the dough the night before ~ makes the morning much easier!
It was a nice present - I haven't broke it to him yet, but since they are my gift, I need to decide who I'm going to bring along! Ha ha ha ha!!

(Just kidding!)

Too funny!!

Happy Tuesday, SFM!!
Hope work goes well today~
I have laundry to finish folding this evening, too. Ahh, the joy!!
Have a wonderful day, friend!!

 

[snowflake22]

Yes, I sometimes get them when the weather is acting weird! They are annoying!
I hope you are getting your expected rain. It rained yesterday 3/4" - then we had storms overnight. I didn't look this morning to see what was in the gauge. It's looking like rain now!

Hope you're feeling better today!!
They are annoying. The change of weather brings them on for me, too.
Take good care!

Merry Tuesday, Holiday!
Lucky Jim!! Hope he has fun cleaning, ha ha. Honey-do's!
Hope you have a fantastic day!!

We'll see how much of that gets done!! I have a feeling he'll get to the farm & be there ALL day! LOL! (even though it's raining!)
