Happy Saturday everyone! Not too much planned for the weekend. My oldest nephew is visiting some friends here and I am hoping to be able to see him this weekend, even if it is just to watch football together. I plan on cheering on the Buckeyes today and have plans for a full day of football watching tomorrow! The temps have been so beautiful lately but I see a few 80 degree days in our forecast. I thought I was done with the AC, but maybe not! Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend! Go Bucks!
 
Good morning, yall! I'm so tired...I've woke up yesterday at 4:00 a.m., worked until 1:00 last night, got up at 8, I'm about to sit on a dunk tank for toys for tots (it is 65 degrees), Bambina has her birthday party today at 3:00, and I have to speak at a community event tonight....and I have a fever.

It is going to be a long day. Pray for me.

Good Saturday morning! A day off after a long work day yesterday. We're going to Williston, VT today to pick-up something I had ordered. It'll be a nice 2-hour drive. There's a store called Christmas Tree Shops near where we're going, there ought to be some Christmas merch there right? Definitely will check it out. Have a great day everyone!

Ooh, we love Vermont! Have a great time!

You'll probably see more Halloween stuff at Christmas Tree Shop than Christmas stuff right now. They stock seasonal items. This time of year they usually have an entire section of pumpkin spice items.

Good Morning, Almost Home Stretchers!

Oh, indeed!
More about that below.

Let's inspect today's figures, to launch the weekend:
Days to the Season: 45
Days to Christmas Day: 87

(And speaking of launching, something else launched yesterday afternoon that I know you'll want to check out. Look for it. It's not hard to find!)

OK.
Yes.
The Season Home Stretch beginning. We are nearly there. Just EIGHT days to go. ONE WEEK from tomorrow! NINETY PERCENT!
Just think about that, now.
(You do that before you dot another "i".)

Still damp and humid yesterday but no further rain came our way.
Today should be clear and a bit more comfortable as some of the humidity is supposed to take a temporary vacation elsewhere.
We begin the weekend sunny, at 67 degrees here in North Carolina's capital county.

Have a really great weekend, and I hope it commences for you with a Sensational Saturday, Folks!

Dunk tank for toys for tots was a success...I served as a great target!

Now, time to get ready for Bam's birthday party!

I hope the water wasn't too cold, coach! Thank you for volunteering your time for such an awesome cause.

Have fun at the birthday party!

Feel better ballcoach. Hope you guys have lots of fun at the birthday party!
 
Good Saturday evening, Christmas friends!

I finally mowed the lawn today! My recent mower purchase was a good deal! It was a used one that had a steering issue, so the guy sold it to me pretty cheap. We dropped it off at my brother's shop, and before I could drive from there back to work, Jim had it fixed. It runs & drives great!

Sorry to seem so excited about a used mower, but I never make good deals. This is one of the few real deals I've ever made LOL.

I hope y'all have a great evening! :D

Merry Friday!

It is a rainy, cool day here. Had to turn the furnace on earlier than I wanted to, but it was too damp in here for Palmer.

Yesterday I stepped outside and found four black/grey tabby kittens by the truck. My gosh are they ever cute!! Today I fed them some Kitten Chow ~ for such little guys/gals they can really eat. :)

Spent the day dodging rain showers while checking out a few garage sales. Found a few things for the store so I will be doing a lot of research this evening.

Be safe and merry!

Oh my goodness! If I walked outside and found 4 kittens, I would be no good. I am one of those types that would try and keep them forever. I would love to see of picture of them if you get a chance a see them again.

Happy Saturday! Our pasta party was a hit and we have so much food left over so we will be having meatball grinders for dinner and sausage and peppers. Just my daughter’s soccer game today and then catching up on laundry today. Hope you have a great day!

If you need some help with those, I will graciously volunteer for such hazardous job!!!! :D

Coach, I give you all the credit in the world. You did a great thing! Hope your body is feeling ok in the morning .
 
What an interesting night. Tonight was the last night of helping out another store in my district. They are a 24 hour store that sees a lot of theft. Last night a guy came in around 3am and loaded up his pants with Dove brand body wash and deodorant. The cops brought back all the merchandise that was recovered. It totaled between $100 to $150 in cost not counting that $78 worth of items that fell put of his pants as he was trying to run out of the store

Good afternoon, friends~

Merry Friday!! TGIF!!

Harlowe and I have had a busy day. We’ve been running errands, and getting some housework done.

My cousin and her husband are coming up for the weekend. Adrian & Kevin plan to do some biking, and Ashley and I will go shopping in the Country and grab lunch. Maybe even stop at a local farm & apple orchard for some cider & cider donuts. We plan to meet back at the house for dinner, it’s definitely good grilling out weather.

It is a breezy Fall day here. Sunny and low 50’s, beautiful blue sky with big white clouds. So pretty!!

Wishing you all a blessed weekend ahead!!
