A friend of mine passed away. Steven Bedford always looked at life with a joke for everything. We are trying to stay happy because thats what he would have wanted. He was 34 years old. 3 years older then I am. He will be missed!

I am sorry to hear about the death of your friend. My prayers go out to you and his family and friends.

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! On Friday, we visited WGN and it was amazing!

I am glad to hear that you had a great time!!!!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

Thank you! I most certainly did. We traveled from Prague to Amsterdam on a City Night Train. There were five of us and we had a six person coach to ourselves. It took more than double the amount of time as driving would have taken, but we were able to enjoy the Czech and then German countryside before dawn. We arrived in Berlin at about midnight. Unfortunately, we were all asleep by then. I managed to stay awake for the outskirts, but was too exhausted otherwise. We arrived in Amsterdam at about 11:30 the next day.

Overall, the train was enjoyable. I was very excited to see the German countryside. It's beautiful! I took plenty of pictures but have not yet had any time to upload. Kim and I did not arrive home from Toronto (she came down for the weekend) until almost midnight last night. Now, I am back at work...

The sleep on the train was all right. A few awakenings, but that is expected. I slept on the top bunk and had no real problems. I highly recommend train trips in Europe. They are clean and fun. Kim and I actually traveled by train from Toronto to Ottawa last night, too. She took the train down on Friday afternoon, I came back with her last night. This train was certainly not as comfortable. Just chairs. No beds. Still, both train trips were fun. Much better than a bus!!

I went on a train trip across Canada once and loved it! Slept in an upper berth, the rocking of the train was great for sleeping. (now I know why babies love being rocked so much!)
Train travel is great, everyone should try it! cheesy

Well this is going to be an exciting week. With the nascar race in town next weekend there are going to be show cars everywhere and some drivers will be out signing autographs. Then with it also being christmas in july it just makes the week even better. I don't really have anything planned for today. I am thinking about going through some of my cookbooks to look for new recipes to try. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always hard to have a friend die, especially so young. My condolences are with you.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I worked all weekend and had a 3 day family reunion going on, too. I gotta say, I'm glad to be back at my regular job!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Enjoy your week!

I will be missing sunday since I am going to the nascar race but I will find a way to watch it saturday even if it means sitting in front of the computer all day and watching it online.


ShopNBC is having a christmas in july sale on Wednesday. I think this is their first year doing christmas in july so I don't know what it will be like. The good thing is that they are one of the 10 channels that I am still getting. cheesy

Have a blast at the race! I LOVE the Nascar race live. I have been to many of them in Texas.

I have watched the ShopNBC one before for Christmas and it was just ok but I will still watch it because it's Christmas! Maybe this year will be better. cheesy

I asked if there was any Christmas crafts in there but She said no hehe. Soon soon. Just listening to Christmas music right now. Going to visit my Mom Thursday and Friday in Windsor. Should be fun because we are going to go see the Sorcerers Apprentice. Well time to go and get something to eat. Hope you all have a great day!

Good afternoon all!


We went to Sears today to replace our microwave, and I looked at the DVD's and they had a bunch (10-15) of Christmas movies for sale. I was excited to see them in the middle of July because I don't usually see them until October at most places. Just another reminder the greatest time of the year is getting closer.


Have a good day!

Have a wonderful afternoon !!

It feels so good to return to this countdown after almost three weeks. The time has certainly flown by. It's nice to see we're just over two weeks away from 100 days to the Season. The double digits fly by after that! Thanks for the updates, Crown!!!

My pleasure.....as always!

Nice to "meet" you as well. Hope you've enjoyed your time on the board. Don't worry, I am not a Sens fan. Not a Leafs fan either. And, most certainly not a Habs fan....

Oh...that's okay...I won't hold it against you if you're not a Leaf's fan cheesy. The IMPORTANT thing is that your not a Sens fan (HA!) - and the SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT THING is...you are not a Habs fan!!!

You already know that I am a Leaf's fan...but (oh...and I'm so ashamed to even say this out loud) my husband is a Habs fan! I know, I know...it is totally shocking! Oh...the rivalry that takes place in our home. Many a time I have put him in a head-lock and pulled his jersey over his head, eh! Hahahahaha! :hello:

Goodmorning and its Monday AGAIN~ the best way I look at Monday is its a week closer to our favorite time of the year! I am off of work tomorrow and Wednesday so my week should go by nicely. We celebrated my Mom's Birthday on Saturday with a nice steak dinner and of course a yummy Birthday cake! Yesterday the Boys and I went swimming over my best friends house. Not much else going on..getting things together for my Son Dylan's 1st Birthday which will be here the middle of August! Wishing for some cooler weather..Im tired of the high 90's cheesy

That's a really good way of looking at Monday's! And about the weather...I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

Certainly! I am on board for that. I actually had a dream last night that it was November 28th and I had not yet listened to Christmas music. That made it more of a nightmare! I could not believe how I had forgotten. Somewhat luckily, I woke up and realized it was just a dream and I would not make such a silly mistake in real life. Moreover, I think this was brought on by the fact that music at the Royal York hotel in Toronto constantly sounded like an instrumental version of "Sleigh Ride."

HA! I've had those dreams (nightmares) before too! In my dream it would be the day before Christmas I I hadn't put the Christmas tree up yet! I don't like those dreams. Not one little bit!

Monday is blah for most but it's my day off! No work and no babysitting. My daughter has the week off so I don't have my grandkids this week and I don't go to work at my job until Sunday. I am going to try and get a lot done!

Have a wonderful week! That means you'll get to be here on MMC more! YA!
