Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Merry Tuesday!

Merry Pines Day!!! ♥

Praying your brother and family are safe! xx

Thanks M!! I haven't heard otherwise, so I'm assuming all is well! xx

Yes.
We did have some damage but less than I anticipated. Some shingles off. Missing siding here and there and some soffit dislodged. Porch screens blown out, of course. Appears no water inside though, which is the biggest plus.
NC Farm Bureau has been notified and an adjuster is to call. Already have someone securing what needs to be, to prevent further damage.
All in all, things went pretty well considering, and it looks like we will survive to be open for another rental season in 2019!

Sorry to hear you had some damage, but I'm glad to hear it wasn't as bad as anticipated!! Hope it's all an easy fix!! xx
Have a great day & we'll see ya tonight at the Pines!!

Tuesday was a good day. We are back in our house. Our son and his wife came over for dinner. It was our first home cooked meal in our remodeled home. Some items still need to be addressed but the end is in sight.

Thursday I will be joining a group of men from our church on our annual hiking trip into the Great Smoky Mountains national park. We hike 7 miles into the wilderness area of Hazel Creek for 3 days of Bible study, fellowship, and fly fishing. It is always a great time and we should have plenty of trout for dinner then a cigar by a campfire.
Have a great day everyone.

Welcome back to your home!!! What a great way to celebrate being home!
And have a safe & fun trip!!!!

Happy Pines Day MMC! Hope you are all doing well as summer is winding down. Glad to hear Crown's Cottage didn't have too much damage and glad this storm is out of here. Hope you all enjoy your Mid-Week Pines Day!

Have a great day Edge!!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It’s been a long morning already. I couldn’t sleep so I just got up and by 6am I was washing and vacuuming out the car at the quarter car wash. Then I took it at 7 to get the oil changed and tires rotated. Then it was a stop by the grocery store for a few things and goodwill to drop off 5 bags of stuff that I cleaned out of the closets. And I haven’t even had any caffeine yet!! I hope everyone has a great day!!

I feel your pain. I can't decided whether to go as a Serta or a Sealy.

How about a Casper? Seems suitable for Halloween ...

Whew!!!! I'm tired reading this. It's time for some caffeine!!!!!!!
Have a good day made! Take a break!

Well, it's Pines Day once again and our fearless activities director is busy readying our inn for the pending arrival of autumn and it's seasonal decor.
Look forward to earth tones -- lots of earth tones. (Even earth tone fired twinkes, rumor has it.)
Regardless, it's always a treat to visit and hang out with Carl.
Hope to see all of you there this evening.

In the meantime, have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

Earth tone = chocolate-covered, maybe? Or caramel? Coated with coffee-bean dust? No telling with that camel.

Merry Pines Day MMC ~
It’s going to be partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees. Not too much going on here, it’s just a typical day of errands and chores. My middle one is home today so we’re going to grab something for lunch. I’m just having my coffee right now and I’m browsing gifts for my oldest daughters bridal shower. I’m going to make baked raviolis later tonight for dinner. That’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!!!

Afternoon everyone. Happy Pines day, mind that hump. It's a windy one over here, hopefully not too much damage being done.

Sounds like you need a nap already. At least you got a lot out of the way.

Good morning MMC!!! Merry Pines Day!!! I am at my "old" job 1st this morning so I wanted to check in b/f I head over to my new job!! And here starts the yo-yo! LOL!! Variety is the spice of life, right??

I hope you all have a superb day!!!

Good Morning, friend~
Absolutely is!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Thanks to all of you!!! I'm a little nervous, but I'm also thankful that I know a good portion of the office people already, so that helps a little!

And the driveway is looking good. We were chatting with the boys this morning - they are getting ready to cut in the cracks! Every time Neil would bend over to try to mark the spot for the crack, Lucy would lick his face. LOL! Thank goodness he's a dog lover!

Aww Lucy!! Too cute!!
Glad that the driveway is looking good!

It's hard to believe that my work is already starting to think about scheduling for the holidays. Since I am out of the building I got to put in my requests early and it looks like they are all being honored and I got a surprise holiday off too. I am working day on Halloween so we can trick or treat and then watch Christmas movies. I volunteered for Thanksgiving but I got that off. I'll work black Friday am, Christmas Eve morning and New Years Day night. My coworkers are mostly flexible since me and the store manager have kids so it all works out.

Today will be a busy day. I have some chores to finish this am and then I work tonight until 10. Have a great day everyone
