Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Edge612]

Good Morning Everybody everywhere throughout the great MMC Nation!

Marching on in lock-step we are, headed toward that same destination we strive to reach every year. That most glorious of destinations, the name of which is on every tongue and need not here be stated.

So, let's take a look at our progress to date:
Days to the Season: 69
Days to Christmas Day: 111

Hmmm.....
Those numbers just look too low to be accurate, and yet......we also have this fact:
The 100-DAY CHRISTMAS DAY WINDOW is now only ELEVEN days away.
SINGLE DIGITS from the day after tomorrow!
(Now, that seems even more inaccurate......and yet.....)

Some rain yesterday only added to the humidity.
(Who needs a sauna when you can step right outside your front door and into a free one?)
The next three days will see us continue in the 90's before we dip down into the mid to upper 80's for the weekend.
Right now, we show 73 degrees on our back door thermometer and it's quite damp.

Hey! First 'Pine Day of the 'bers, Folks!
Carl is really starting to get into the fall frame of mind now, and it won't be long before our inn of choice will be transformed into pre-holiday stand-by mode.
(I can't wait!)
Hope to see as many of you there as possible this evening.

Until then, have a Wildly Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

Thanks Crown! I see triple 1's in the count today!

Happy Pines Day!!
Another warm and humid day but looks like it will break tomorrow after we have some storms. They ended up canceling my daughter's soccer scrimmage due to the heat, which I think was the right choice.
I was so excited, I went to the grocery store last night and I found Peppermint Mocha creamer...yum!! So I am having some now, I forgot how good it is.
Just work for me today and hoping to get in a workout. I need to get back on track. Hope you all have a great day!!

Merry Pines Day MMC ~
It’s going to be partly sunny today with highs near 85 degrees. I have to run to the pet store to pick up a couple of things. I also have to stop at the post office to mail out my youngest daughter & her fiancés engagement announcements.
Yesterday we were saddened to hear that my oldest daughters fiancés grandpa passed away at the age of 86. The wedding is just a few months away, I wish he could have been there to see his grandson marry my daughter. I picked up a couple of trays of food and brought it over to my future son in law’s family. I spent some time with them. I found out his grandpa was a very talented artist, I never knew that. The family has hundreds of his paintings and I was able to see some of them. I love that they have his artwork, I know they’ll cherish it.
I don’t really have too much else going on. I’m going to make penne ala vodka for dinner with mozzarella bread & a salad. If I feel up to it I will start to decorate for Autumn.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
xx

I am so sorry to hear about your future SIL's grandson. That is too bad..
Dinner sounds great! Hope you have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!! (I almost said "Merry Tuesday!") LOL!
Not much up for today besides work! It's going to be another hot one with a high of 90 predicted...tomorrow cools off a bit with a high of 79 & rain supposedly moving in!

I was at Moms last night & her Amish lady Mandy was having a fit about Halloween being in the stores ALREADY!!! LOL! I just laughed...I told her "I LOVE IT & Christmas is creeping out too!"

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

 

[Holiday]

Oh Lord, thank you so much for this short week!

PS. Lord, If it's not too much to ask, could we have one of those every week?

I get one next week too. That will be 3 in a row - I'm starting to get use to that!!

Merry Tuesday!
Merry September!

Merry Pines Day!
Merry September!!
Have a great day Meceka!

Ugh I didn’t even begin to decorate yet. I had a busy weekend and today didn’t go as planned. Hopefully soon, I will definitely post pictures!

I hope you are able to decorate soon!! I always enjoy your pictures!!

Halloween Alley has opened its doors at Crabtree Valley Mall.
(Can the holidays really be far behind?)
I strongly suspect "A Christmas To Remember" will move into this spot when HA moves out at the beginning of November.

Just got home from work and back at it again tomorrow in the morning. Carolina had a bit of a rough time tonight when my mom wanted to get her ready for bed around 745. Carolina said it was still summer so it was too early for bed even though it was dark out . When she went to bed she wrinkled baby powder all over her room because she was bored and had nothing to do.

Little stinker!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

Today is Jacob's 21st birthday! I wish he was more excited about it, but his girlfriend broke up with him yesterday, and he's terribly sad. She could have waited a couple days so he could enjoy this birthday. Oh well. C'est la vie. We're taking him out to eat with the whole family tonight.

My back is feeling better today. Whew! I must be getting old or something!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Yeah, I milled around the Dollar Store yesterday afternoon, looking at all the Halloween candy and Fall decorations. I love it!

I'm sorry to hear about your future SIL's loss. I bet he was looking forward to seeing them married, but I'm sure he'll be there.

Morning MMC! Back to School here on this Pines Day. Just another small step in the early part of the Bers that starts to change everything. It's warm and humid out this morning. What else is new? Kept thinking yesterday was Monday so I'll probably think today is Tuesday...but it's Wednesday! Have a good Pines Day!

Merry Pines Day!

Good Wednesday morning! After a little break from the humidity yesterday, it will be back with a vengeance today but it should be the last of it. Yesterday I spent roughly 5 hours deep cleaning and my arms were so sore (I had also done some weightlifting the day before) that I had trouble sleeping because any position I was in hurt. I'll go for a nice long walk with Loki this morning and I'll make supper before it gets too hot and then I'll just relax for the day. Have a great day eveyone!

Enjoy your walk with Loki & your vacation!! Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

I wanted to go through and catch up on the posts, then I looked at thee time !
I'll be back later, have a nice morning all !

Have a great day CS!

I just LOVE freshly-ground coffee beans!

Thank yall for your prayers!!! They were heard today! Gandalf is home and resting... thank god it was not something serious like the vet thought.. but as soon as we made it home he got sick all over so we still have a problem but just don't know why... one big expensive mystery. It's tough not always getting answers. We're just going to keep managing the symptoms and hope he continues to improve!
Starting to see pumpkin spice things pop up everywhere and tons of new fall commercials on TV! All that we're waiting on now is for the weather to change.

Continued prayers for Gandalf! I hope he gets better every day!! xx It's hard to see them sick & you don't know what to do for them. If only they could talk - sometimes!
Hope you have a great day!
