DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 174
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 149
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 88


Happy June TGIF ! Today folks we move along and see that we have 174 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 149 days left until November and 88 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone not arriving until the “official” arrival of summer which is 2 weeks from Sunday. But we all know that our summer has started here. And it’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below!

Pumpkins were common, but not pumpkin pie.
Historians know that both the Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe both ate squashes indigenous to the region. This most certainly included pumpkins! However,
the settlers had no way of making butter or wheat flour for pie crust. Instead, they likely enjoyed pumpkin mashed into a custard with milk, honey, and spices.

No pumpkin pie? I am not a big pumpkin person (only for decoration) but it would be hard to imagine that. I wish you all well this Friday, my friends. Enjoy it and be happy where we are in the year. Have a great June TGIF!​
 
Happy Friday! Today is my busiest day at work out of the entire year. It will be nice knowing that beginning on Monday, things go back to being ho-hum as we keep sliding towards THE BERS! And my Summer "vacation" starts next Friday as we go for outpatient surgery, and then I am home the next 10 days, not going back to work until June 22nd! Have a great day!
 
I LOVE pumpkin. With my type 2 diagnosis (if it isn’t in regression by Thanksgiving this year), I’ll have to settle for a keto version of my favorite Thanksgiving dessert. Luckily, multiple recipes for keto pumpkin pie are readily available.

Happy June Weekend! Today folks we move along and see that we have 173 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 148 days left until November and 87 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone set to arrive 2 weeks from tomorrow when summer (officially) arrives. It’s Saturday folks so time for the 1st half of our Quiet Weekend Period. I had a hectic Friday at work, but it wasn’t unexpected. And then I crashed when I got home and took Damian to the park which, although it’s his favorite place it’s mine too. It gets me away from all the hectic times and gives me a chance to clear my head. And I hope you all get a chance to clear yours this weekend, have fun and get done what you need to get done. I have a good mixture this weekend and it’s going to be a busy weekend but there’s always time made for relaxing too and simply enjoying some peace and quiet. I hope you are all doing well this Saturday and I wish you the best, my friends. It’s the weekend and Gobble Gobble is the saying we have here all year long. The best to you, my friends. I hope you are doing well this Saturday to start off the weekend, right. Enjoy your Saturday everyone. Have a great June Weekend!​
 
1st weekend after the busiest work day of the year feels good! We're going to have a small fire tonight and maybe have some adult beverages because next weekend is going to be all about rest and recovery after surgery. I'm off work beginning this Friday the 12th and will be home for 10 days.

I hope everyone has a great day!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 172
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 147
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 86


Happy Week Into June! Today folks we move along and see that we have 172 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 147 days left until November and 86 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone set to arrive 2 weeks from today when Summer Arrives officially. It’s hard to think summer won’t arrive for 2 weeks still when we have had several days the last few near 90 degrees with some humidity. But that’s how it goes. I remember in April when we had a few days close to 90 degrees. It was too early for that but now it feels kind of right when we get them or not as out of the ordinary. It’s Sunday folks and it’s time for the 2nd Half of our Quiet Weekend Period. Are you ready for it? The Sunday Group is heading to the city for a look at the history of criminals and dinner in the city as well. We always stop at our favorite bakery that has become one of the best parts of our trip. We love getting our iced drinks and baked goods on the way to our event. Turkey friends I hope your weekend is going well and that you enjoy your Sunday. The best to you, my friends. Enjoy it and make the most of your day everyone. The best to all of you my friends this Sunday. Have a great Week Into June!​

Friday felt like my busiest work day of the year!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 171

DAYS TILL THE BERS: 85


Happy June Week! Today folks we move along and see that we have 171 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 146 days left until November and 85 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone set to arrive in less than 2 weeks when summer officially begins 2 weeks from yesterday. It’s Monday folks so time for our weekly feature on Mondays which is YouTube Day. Below is a little clip you all will like. Let’s check it out.



It’s a cute little clip and one you will get a few minutes of fun and a chuckle out of I trust. I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to enjoy where we are heading here in week 2 of June. Week 1 was amazing. The Sunday Group had an amazing trip to the city as we always do. I have said it before but it’s true we value our Fall Season, Christmas Season and City Trips above everything else we do. Fortunately, believe it or not those 3 things account for well over half of our Sundays. It’s amazing. Turkey friends I hope you are doing well to start the week. The best to all of you this Monday. I trust you had a great weekend. The best. Have a great June Week!​
 
Good Morning to everyone! My long week begins. We're supposed to get the call on Thursday for our surgery time on Friday. It's being planned as outpatient surgery, and I pray that's the case. But either way, God's going to let me be strong one more time and stare down the hospital for what I pray is the very final time for something this major.

This weekend begins our recovery and I hope that we can enjoy the next 10 days off of work and do a few small family things while we are both off.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!
 
Some of you may know that we host about 25 souls for the holidays, and I have an affliction that compels me to make every gathering memorable. In fact, my kids have affectionately nicknamed me "Martin Stewart."
For me, a holiday gathering should engage all the senses. The food is the main attraction, and with it come the wonderful aromas of the season. A carefully curated playlist of strings and horns fills the background, just loud enough to be noticed, never enough to dominate the conversation.
The true stars of the show are the visuals, especially the tablescape. We choose a theme and carry it throughout the house so our guests are fully immersed in the holiday spirit. My hope is that long after the meal is over, they leave with a warm memory of the experience. Happy Thanksgiving!


 
Since Garfield’s Thanksgiving doesn’t air on cable TV anymore, here’s the full special on YouTube in case you’re missing it. I’m glad it was preserved so that I can keep watching it with my family each year.

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 170
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 145
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 84


Happy Joyous June! Today folks we move along and see that we have 170 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 145 days left until November and 84 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone set to arrive in a dozen days when we reach the official Arrival of Summer. It’s Tuesday folks so time for our Picture Day which is one of our favorite weekly things in this thread and on this site. Share your pictures of Fall/Autumn and Thanksgiving. Anything that makes you get the feels for those special times later in the year. It’s a great time now to share them as we start warming up here, heating up and humidifying up. Is that correct grammar? I’m pretty sure it’s not but luckily my English teacher isn’t here to correct me. Turkey friends I hope your week got off to a good start on Monday and that it only gets better here on this Tuesday. I wish you all well today and hope you are enjoying your day. I’m loving June for sure and my friend’s birthday is today, so I’ll have to make sure I wish him a good one. The best to you my turkey friends and I hope you enjoy your time today. Have fun, eat some food, take a walk, enjoy the warmth and play with the pets. Have a great Joyous June!​

The hotter it gets and the higher the humidity goes the more I daydream about Thanksgiving. It is going to be a scorcher today so I have the picture and am inviting you all to join me in today's fictional MMC feast. I will make the turkey and a homemade apple pie. Any takers?
