Yes sir, Folks! It is indeed FRIDAY - Gateway to the Weekend!
Another week survived. Another week closer to Christmas.
Exactly how far away are we? Well, let's check:
Days to the Season: 280
Days to Christmas Day:322
UNDER one week now to the 1/4 Season milestone!
(It seems we have reached this point faster than ever, doesn't it?)
Another cold one here, at 25. They say 50's by this afternoon, but I'll believe it when I see it!
At least the sun is out with no wind.
Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And may your Weekend get off to a Wonderous start this afternoon!

Pennsylvania is supposed to warm up too! 48-51 for highs! I guess I'll take my Christmas garland off of the windows this weekend!
Recipe for Christmas All Year Long
Take a heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life—
Each day a sweet surprise.
Mix in fond appreciation
For the people whom we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.
Add some giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)
Stir it all with human kindness;
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.
If we use this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.

Good Morning Everyone!! We are going to have a heat wave today, in the 40s. Have a great weekend all!
I think a thousand would be possible....lets do our best
What Do We Love About Christmas?
What do we love about Christmas;
Does our delight reside in things?
Or are the feelings in our hearts
The real gift that Christmas brings.
It's seeing those we love,
And sending Christmas cards, too,
Appreciating people who bring us joy
Special people just like you.

And speaking of that....
<< Crown, why do you always need a lead-in? >>
Um, well, I don't know - it just seems to happen.
<< Oh, sure! >>
Well, golly gee!
The count!:
Days to the Season: 279
Days to Christmas Day:321
Can we be only 5 days away from the all-important one quarter milestone??
Not only possible - it's probable - no.....it's DEFINITE!
We are really moving along, aren't we?
Good weather news from NC. We are supposed to reach 68 degrees by this afternoon! Been a long time since the temp was that high.
(These mid-winter warm spells we get are really appreciated!!)
Have a Stupendous Saturday, Everyone.
And I hope your Weekend is off to a Wonderous start!

Christmas Long Ago
A Christmas Poem by Jo Geis
Frosty days and ice-still nights,
Fir trees trimmed with tiny lights,
Sound of sleigh bells in the snow,
That was Christmas long ago.
Tykes on sleds and shouts of glee,
Icy-window filigree,
Sugarplums and candle glow,
Part of Christmas long ago.
Footsteps stealthy on the stair,
Sweet-voiced carols in the air,
Stocking hanging in a row,
Tell of Christmas long ago.
Starry nights so still and blue,
Good friends calling out to you,
Life, so fact, will always slow...
For dreams of Christmas long ago.
