Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Delightedly Devoted Double, Double-Digit Dancers!

Yes, sir!
We are dancing to a whole new tune this morning, set in double time.

Here is the exciting data, to launch a new week:
Days to the Season: 57
Days to Christmas Day: 99

And the eyes do not deceive.
BOTH of our counts now number in double-digits and we have indeed begun to enter the fast track to the holidays.
(Heck. The Blossoms thread will be launching in less than two weeks, now!)

The very wet conditions continued for another day yesterday as the tropical depression slowly moved west through SC, sending repeated rain showers our way.
Possibly another wet one today before clearing begins in earnest tomorrow.
We commence things quite damp here this morning, at 74 degrees.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks!

Happy Monday!
Typical day of work for me and I have to go to the grocery store later.
Hope you all have a great day!!

Merry Monday!
It’s going to be cloudy today with a high of 77 degrees. Not too much going on here, I’m just watching the news right now and having a cup of coffee. I’m going to throw a load of laundry in soon and tidy up the house before I head out to run a couple of errands. I’m having lunch with my youngest later this afternoon and then we’re going out to look at favors for the bridal shower. I also plan on making chicken soup for dinner, I can’t remember the last time I made a pot. I’ll be adding more soups and stews in to my menu plans now, love this time of the year! I hope everyone has a nice day and a great week ahead!

My youngest just asked me to make beef stew this week! I love adding in soups too.

Good Monday morning! Summer heat and humidity are still hanging on for a couple more days. As much as I love Summer, I'm ready for Fall now. Some sections of some trees have started changing colours already. I'm taking it easy this morning as I'm starting back work with an afternoon/evening shift. I always dread going back to work after a vacation, I know most of my work will have piled up and there are always surprises, not all of them good. Hope everyone will have a wonderful start to the week!

 

[Art the Bookworm]

57 days! 99 days! Woohoo! This is my favorite time of the year!

Unfortunately, Iowa hasn't gotten the message yet. We had some cool days in early Sept. but the heat and humidity came back with a vengeance. The weather says we will be upper 80's to 90 degrees over the next few days. It's been that way most of last week. :-( Well, I'm going to go listen to some Christmas music I think. I hope everyone is well and everyone near the hurricane/tropical storm stay safe!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

It was a weekend full of The Addams Family Musical for us, and it was another great show! The cast never missed a beat. The acting, singing, and (of course) dancing was superb! Elizabeth did a wonderful job choreographing the dancing, and she's already been asked to choreograph the next one LOL.

We got a little wind and a little rain from Florence, but mostly just overcast skies.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Thank you Meceka. Sadly my uncle died this afternoon, so thursday the next funaral...

Praying for your family, JollyHeather.

Good evening,

Hope your weekend is going well.
My demons of anxiety and depression have been
giving me a rough go the last few days, I am still healing from the breakdown I had last November. I struggle with panic attacks but this is the first time it has hit me this hard in a long time.
Goodnight, everyone

Thinking of you, Friend. We’re all here for you if you need to talk.

Mike and I went out to dinner tonight at Chilis. We usually don't go out to dinner on Saturdays because everything is mobbed. I work tomorrow so now we are relaxing. Monday am I will take Carolina to get the staples taken out. I haven't decided if I should give her Tylenol before we go or not. I hope everyone is having a great weekend

I hope Carolina does well this morning and that it’s not to painful.

Remnants of the storm here. Breezy. Cooler. Dark. Hmmmmm. Very operatic. Very. Hmmmmmmmm. Yabba!

Hope things didn’t get to bad, Friend!

Hello All ..
I’ve missed you
It was time to come back !

Hugs xo
Ms Rose This is me trying to catch up !! Lol

Welcome back, Ms Rose!!

Good Morning, MMC!! It’s going to be a warm week here but I’m not going to let that ruin my holiday spirit. I’m going to try and get out and add some photos to my stash for when the blossoms thread opens. But first, a haircut for me and doctors appointment for Mom is on the agenda for today. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Good Morning made582! Warm week for me on Monday/Tuesday, but heat is supposed to break Wednesday. Hopefully that's it for the rest of the year!

Good morning MMC! "Merry Monday!" After being off the last 3 Mondays, I keep thinking today is Tuesday. Could be a long week!!!

I was with Mom Friday at 5pm until Saturday at 8am - and then again yesterday from 8:30 am until almost 9am today!! She sure can be a challenge! Bless her heart! We had a few feuds! Yesterday she went down on the floor - she didn't fall, but I had to ease her down...had to call my hubby to come help me pick her up off the floor!! She's a piece of work! Needed a little down time at home this morning b/f coming into work!!

We have 3 busy bodies & 1 supervisor (my hubby) working on our driveway today. Hopefully they can get it poured later this afternoon!! What a mess! My whole kitchen floor/hallway/bathroom has a layer of sand on it! But it's progress!!

Everyone, have a GREAT Monday!!!!

99 days until Christmas!!!!

Hope you stay cool over the next few days, until some cooler temperatures move in.
Hope that you have a good first day back, without too many surprises.
I'll be thinking of you!

Good Saturday morning! Though this will be a perfect Summer weekend weather-wise, it is my last weekend on vacation and that brings sadness and some anxiety. We have to go grocery shopping and some chores to do around the place, but other than that the weekend is wide open. Hope everyone will have a great one!

I hope your 1st week back to work goes better than expected!!! xx
