I was just reminded that Elizabeth's very last dance recital is tomorrow evening.I've been going to her recitals since she was old enough to walk, and this is the last one. There have been too many "last times" lately, doggone it.
There will be lots of new firsts coming you way though Brad! Enjoy the recital
Hope your voice feels better today. We had a big storm here in south wales today and I have woken up and my chest feels all tight and Im a bit sniffly. Fingers crossed it passes and I haven't picked up a lurgy from the in laws!
Am I right in thinking we are officially 200 days today until the big day?
Also an update on the tablecloth for my grandmother - I dug it out last night to make a start on it - only to find I have lost the chart! Luckily I have finished one daffodil so can copy the colours from that but with the leaves I think I will just have to wing it and hope for the best!
I also found a little cross stitch christmas card that my daughter wants to try and make for my grandmother too so that will keep her happy for a while too.

In honour of our special milestone today; I am offering one of my old songs.
(For the newbies, I get hit with different words that are Christmas related when I hear songs that aren't very merry. I usually switch the lyrics in the shower and then play with them until they make sense to me.)
Written by AuntieMistletoeDear (that's me) Based on the tune, ‘The Little White Cloud that Cried‘, by Johnnie Ray (performed once upon a time by Jamie Redfern)
I went searching for a merry feeling
I headed into the downtown core
Cedar boughs, lights and bows adorned the shops
Sale signs in every window and on every door
I went searching for a merry feeling
Spotted a couple huddled in a doorway, less fortunate than I
Carollers standing on every other corner
Heard Church Bells resonating across the sky
I went searching for a merry feeling
Headed out onto a country road
I came upon a living Nativity
The wise farmer approached, carrying a heavy load
The stranger understood what I was seeking
And this is what I was told,
“If you are searching for a merry feeling
You will search until your body turns cold.
I’m sure you know joy is something from within
Filled with the traditions and celebrations you hold dear
If it vanishes from your city
It’s up to you to keep it near.”
I went home feeling rather silly
For having doubted what I knew all along
The merry feeling we all hold deep inside
Pumps through me with a fresh new song.
I woke up from my daydream in the shower
Knowing I had to share with all my friends
The secret to keeping very merry at Christmas
Is sharing memories; I hope it never ends.
Festive Regards my Merry Friends,
A. Mistletoe
And in case you are struggling with the tune to go with the lyrics; here's a link to the actual song "The Little White Cloud that Cried."

Jamie Redfern (toured with Lawrence Welk)
And Dinah Shore
Keep a merry tune in your head today and every day!

Happy 2nd Weekend of June MMC! Wow I feel A LOT better. I guess all I needed was to go home half a day and rest. The sun is out again. That's how the last 5 or 6 Saturdays have been. That's how I like my Saturdays. Have a great start to the 2nd Weekend of June!

Good Morning, Christmas Citizens!
And as good informed citizens, we want to be kept abreast of the latest data in regards to the proximity of our holiday of choice and its wonderful Season.
As such, it is with pride and humility that we announce that another MILESTONE DAY has been reached!
Days to the Season: 158
Days to Christmas Day: 200
Today. This very day. We have arrived at the TWO-HUNDRED DAY CHRISTMAS DAY WINDOW, and the doorstep of a double-100's count.
Hallelujah!
Wet weather is the order of the day and for the next several, as plenty of rain is forecast. Hopefully, it will not interfere with our plans today and tomorrow morning as we complete work to get our cottage ready for the first set of renters who arrive tomorrow at noon. Fortunately, there is a lesser predicted chance of rain over at the coast but it still looks rather wet.
This morning has indeed commenced very wet here in the state capital, with a temperature reading of 71 degrees.
Tomorrow morning, our Edge will see us safely into double-100's territory and I shall return here Monday morning.
Have a Sensational Saturday and a Wildly Wondrous Weekend, Friends!

Happy Milestone Day Everyone! God Bless!
Good Saturday evening! What a perfect Summer day to start off my 9-day staycation. I put some laundry out to dry this morning, we went to our favourite chocolaterie for some treats, I took an afternoon nap, we took Loki out to a new dog park where he ran after his favourite orange ball until he had no energy left and now we're about to watch a movie. Hope everyone has enjoyed this milestone day.
