Looks beautiful, Made!
That's looking really nice Made! I love the Santa theme you got going there!
Prayers that he stays safe. Thank you to him for his service!
Good evening - late check in here! Just working, nothing exciting today. Hope you had a great day!
Good morning ~
Happy Sunday!
So I tried to do a bit of decorating last night and Rocky is giving me the hardest time. He seems to be threated by everything and wants to attack whatever I take out. To say it’s frustrating is an understatement but he’s still a puppy so I’m trying to be patient with him. We need to call a trainer in, I’m just not sure I can get in to that before my daughters wedding. The wedding preparations have been so time consuming. I will definitely have a trainer come to the house right after the wedding. For now I guess I’ll scatter some Christmas decorations around the house that are out of Rocky’s reach lol. I’m not even sure if I can put a tree up this year
So my plans for today will be a bit of decorating and I will be working on the laundry. I’m going to start a pot of sauce as soon as I finish my cup of coffee, dinner will be raviolis. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Those cakes sound so delicious Christmasstar! Hope you'll share pics when all is doneYour daughter is lucky to have her own mother do her wedding cakes, such a great gift to her.
I will take a truffle please..
thank you all. One week from today it will all be history, and I will be sitting with my feet up thinking about how I really need to get the house decorated for Christmas !
Good morning MMC! We had a very late night and a early start to the day. Hallmark Christmas movies until 1 am and the kids decided to get up early. Looks for the makings of a long day.
I'm sorry to hear that Rocky is giving you such a hard time with the Christmas decorations. Looks like he's frazzled by all these new shiny things that he has never seen before so he goes on the attack. I hope you find a way to put up the tree. Maybe look online for some ideas on how to prevent him from going after the tree? A trainer at home would be beneficial. We kept saying we would bring in a trainer for Loki but never did. And he's still over protective and will growl or bark at the tiniest noises in the hallway. Enjoy the decorations you get to put up today and have a nice day HMG.Good morning ~

Morning MMC! End of Thanksgiving week is here. A little sad but still exciting to think we have December ahead of us. A trip to the mall today to try to get a few more gifts and some rest before back to work tomorrow. Luckily I am off Thu/Fri so that I will have a 2nd Thanksgiving break. Have a great Sunday!
Good Morning MMC !
things are crazy here with less than a week to the wedding. But everything is falling into place. Main items are of course the decorating of the hall and the church, but we have lots of volunteers for that so it hopefully will go smoothly.
Today we have a pastor and his family coming in to preach this morning that may become our new pastor. Will know after the votes are in this evening. I have had opportunity to listen to him online and what I hear is impressive. Looking forward to meeting him and his family today.
Our company Christmas party is tonight, but I will only be popping in for awhile after the meal as the vote at church will not be over till around 7pm.
Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Haven't check in since Thanksgiving morning...
Thanksgiving was all that I hoped it would be. Family time is what my heart desires and I got plenty of it. My grandmother, who is 86, and I got to sit and visit for a good, solid two hours. We both got tickled because Bambina kept telling me to quit yelling at her (my Nanny doesn't hear too well after 86 years). I wasn't yelling, but I did have to raise my voice for her to hear me. The meal...well, it was the best we have made in my 41 years of living. Simply wonderful.
Doc and I got up Black Friday and did some serious shopping. After a couple of hours, I ended up in Barnes and Noble reading. It was such a good time and we got some pretty serious deals. We upgraded our phones and Target gave each of us a $250 gift card and two coupons that give us 20% off of a shopping trip. Doc was strategizing on how to make the best use of those, but she got terribly sick on Friday night and it continued through yesterday. If she doesn't improve today, I'm going to make her go to urgent care.
Other than that, cooking and some outside work are on the agenda for today. It is supposed to be in the low 60's here and this is the last pretty day (and warm) on the 10 day forecast. I'm going to make sure I enjoy it!

Good Morning, Fellow Voyagers.
Well, our long voyage is nearing its end. We are getting pretty close now to hearing "Christmas Ho!" (Or should that be "Christmas Ho Ho Ho"?)
Regardless, here is the daily data:
Days to Christmas Day: 30 (ONE MONTH from TODAY!!)
Twelve months now down to ONE. Wow!
Our chilly and wet weather continues and we had rain during the entire first part of the day, yesterday.
Today should be warmer and drier after a damp start, with highs in the low 60's.
At this hour, we stand at 45 degrees here in the capital city.
Have Super Sunday, Folks.
And may your NFL team of choice win today, especially if it is the Panthers!

Thanks Crown! Happy Rudolph Day #11!
Happy Sunday MMC! Thanks so much for all the prayers for my Dad. He was discharged from the hospital and we will have the results of his liver biopsy on Wednesday.
Today we are putting up the tree and my daughter has an indoor soccer game. Hope you all have a great day!

Looks so peaceful and cozy, Made!
my son decorated our tree
Good morning everyone!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We hosted again this year, which is the standard. I roasted a 26lb turkey, which struggled to fit in the pan.
Henry is such a big help in the kitchen. We made pumpkin bread and pies from real pie pumpkins. When I say we, I took care of the pumpkin itself and helped Henry with the ingredients, but he measured, added, and mixed everything.
Friday we went and cut down our Christmas tree. Then we were going through our decorations and my wife suddenly suggested we should go ahead and make this tree my "Santa Tree." A little background... I have always wanted a tree that was all Santas or ornaments that go with Santas; red balls, elves, gold balls, etc... So needless to say, I was super happy to make that happen.
Of course to make that work we needed to reorganize our other ornaments. So, the tree in our bedroom has most of our family ornaments including hallmark ornaments and such. My wife ordered a small 2 foot tree for her woodland creatures, and she ordered a nice wire tree for her bird ornament collection.
We have had a warm couple of days, but that is about to change tonight. We are getting a bunch of rain and wind tonight and then the temperature is going to drop into the thirties again.
Well, everyone have a wonderful Sunday!

Good Morning, MMC!! It’s going to be a beautiful day here with high near 60. Then rain moves in tonight and turns to snow tomorrow with a high of 30 degrees. That Mother Nature sure is temperamental any more. I need to put up my tree in the kitchen today and then I should be done with the major decorating. It’ll be my 4th tree this weekend. I did my main tree and my aunts tree Friday. Then my 81 year old neighbors tree yesterday. I also got my outside decorations up yesterday too. I hope everyone has a great day!!
