Christmas Countdown - 2019

[Binger]

Winter’s last gasp was this past weekend. Happens every year here- temps plunged into the 40s. Today - upper 80s. It’s as crazy as JayIsh doing a paus du lux. Yabba!

 

[Binger]

Tomorrow. Temps in the 90s— it’s as crazy as Crown locking up people in a plastic cylinder. Hmmmmmm what could be brewing . Hmmmmmm

Happy MAY MMC! Wow we "May"de it. I don't know how it's May already but we're here. I always look at May through September being the warm 5 months of the year. And I see Bing/Crown's area looks like summer heat today. Here we have temps only in the low 50s for highs with clouds and a few showers later. Not quite warm here just yet. But I'm in no rush to be in the 90s already. Have a great Pines Day in May!

We have more flood warnings for my neck of the woods. The creek seems to be running at the usual level. It's more of a concern for the outskirts, farms and cottage areas.

I haven't been well for the last 6 days; time to see someone about it; I don't catch "bugs" or viruses; I have a strong immune system, but I have to go back to work and my bowels are telling me otherwise.

Happy Pines Day!

I hope you feel better Auntie, sending hugs and prayers.

Good Morning, MMC Citizens!

We are approaching one of our very top, important Milestones.
Continue reading for more information.

But, first, consider this:
Days to the Season: 196
Days to Christmas Day: 238

TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.
<< What, Crown? >>
We arrive at the HALF-WAY marker to Christmas Season 2019.
<< Did you say HALF, Crown?? >>
Indeed I did, little voice. Indeed I did.
(Mark your calendars for May 15, Folks!)


Quite warm here yesterday, with our high reaching 86 by the afternoon.
Still not uncomfortable though, as our late spring/summer type humidity has yet to hit.
Today and on through Friday will see us continue in the 80's, with little chance of rain.
Our mid-week temperature stands at 66 degrees here, currently.

Pines Day! It's here again, and spring has fully sprung at our inn of choice!
Carl is feeling chipper (good) and experimental (maybe not so good).
But if you are feeling guinea pig like, try his latest blend concoctions.
Who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

Merry Pines Day and Happy May 1st MMC!
Not too much going on here today. I have an appointment this afternoon to have my hair cut & colored but other than that it will be a typical day of errands and chores. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day. See you tonight!

Good Tuesday evening! I worked the afternoon/evening shift and can’t settle my mind yet to go to sleep. I got a call from our District Manager tonight asking me about a health and safety point that stores have lost during audits and I am frustrated to see that they are adding procedures that they never taught us or that are not written anywhere in our program and I’m having to scramble to fix things at the last minute. Hopefully I’ll calm down soon enough and go to sleep. Thank you for letting me rant.
And I hope everyone is well and has enjoyed a nice day.

I feel your pain. We were about to celebrate our 11th year of no lost-time accidents here (it's the best record in the company), when one of our guys hurt himself. It wasn't very bad, but it was enough that he couldn't work for a couple days. We had already ordered the plant-wide safety awards and a catered dinner. Ugh.

Happy Pines Day!
Just having coffee, reading emails and trying to organize my day.
Not too much planned for today besides work and hopefully will get a workout in later. I am hoping we get some sun sooner than later but doesn't look too promising.
Hope you all have a great day!

Thanks Crown! Time sure does go by quick when its rain soaked! (My attempt at sarcasm..lol)

I made it through a full day of work. See my doctor tomorrow.

My car sounds awful. I think it's the muffler - could be a hiccup in the engine. Taking it in on Monday after work. I'll use my husband's car in the mean time.

It sounds like a Charger or Datsun, but it's a Hyundai - no indicator lights to hint at what it is - perhaps I didn't have my music loud enough and it's all good.

Tasting mysterious somethings at the Pines. Doesn't taste like chicken.

Look what I found at Hobby Lobby tonight.
The first signs of Fall and Christmas!!!

It's amazing how much more and more we're going to see of that over these next 4 months as opposed to the last 4 months. I am so excited already for the Bers!

Happy May Day MMC! We have a milder day predicted today with temps possibly reaching 70. We may have some showers later today or this evening. It's been cloudy almost every day since the weekend. Not fun but it looks to continue (although it looks like we may see partial sun on Saturday at least). We'll see. Have a great day everyone!
