That is beautiful! What a wonderful job you did. How long did it take to make? (people ask me that all the time of my cakes, but I never really time it so have no idea!)

That's the question I always get about afghans, and I have the same answer ... I have no idea, because I don't keep track of the time!

That would be sure to get lots of bids as a fund raiser for Santa's sleigh.

I'm thinking about offering it in the Merry Marketplace here on MMC ... either setting a price and then donating the purchase price to Santa's Sleigh when (and if) it sells, or selling it to the highest bidder by a stated date and time and donating the proceeds. I'm just not sure it would make a worthwhile amount of money to donate.

Hey gang! Hope this finds everyone recuperating from their Monday. I'm watching Dancing with the Stars, hanging out with my lovely wife, and relaxing. Today wasn't that bad, considering who it was a Monday.

Hey, I've got something going....and while I don't want to elaborate on it...if you could send a prayer or two this way...I would appreciate it.

Have a good one. I'll be around.

We are watching it too, love this Motown music!

will pray for you!

I think either one will work, maybe some feed back from people here will help you decide?

Good evening, Christmas family

Just dropping by for a quick hello and then off to take more migraine medication. I changed my signature again........after a couple of comments I too felt sorry for that poor little penguin.......so I had to change it. xo

MerryCarey - That is the MOST BEAUTIFUL afghan I have ever seen xo

Christmasstar - I would love to be friends on Facebook. Just look for my name "Louann Jeffries".......If you want....xo

Coach - Praying for you dear Christmas friend.

I am going to say goodnight for now....My head is screaming.

I don't know how Ivy is doing. I know that sounds ridiculous but I really can't tell.......She sees her doctor on Friday and that will help me to know better.......Please keep her in your prayers........I do know she is not doing as well as I had hoped.......xo

Seawaters - Praying for you and that you are feeling well xo

Made - I hope your niece is doing okay xo

Take care, Christmas family xo ((Hugs))

Good evening,

A very long day at work today, I only got 1/3 of my project done today, my AM employee wasn't in this morning, his step-daughter passed away over the weekend, and then my PM employee had a family emergency this afternoon and had to leave. So I got out a bit late. I just hope they are okay. A day off tomorrow, not much planned.

Have a great night!

COACH i will have you in prayer.

CM3 i do hope the migraine goes away. praying for you & ivy.

hey ya'll! not much to mention this morning. headed to work in a while.

my oldest son left gum in his pocket & i washed his jeans w/ my daughter's jacket......little balls of gum are all over her jacket. arghh!!! i was pretty furious about it. i looked over the rest of the wash & didn't see much more so what i could, i put in the dryer...well then i thought, i probably didn't see it all so i stopped the dryer. good thing i did cause it had started sticking in my dryer. oh man!!!!!!! finally got it all out of the dryer. daughter's jacket looks awful, it's one of those fuzzy feeling Northface jackets...black!!! the gum is green, winterfresh to be exact!!! i called around. some said to put it in the freezer, no luck! i called the dry cleaners they said to bring it & let them see. the lady said they'll try...they have a solution they can dip it in & see if it comes out. i pick it up on Wednesday-we'll see.

well ya'll have a good day & i'll talk to ya' after work this evening!!!!

Hello, Folks.

Well, Monday is behind us and 'Pines Day is just ahead.
<< That would make today Tuesday, right Crown? >>
Very good, little voice.

And that would also make today's count this:
Days to the Season: 203
Days to Christmas Day: 245
Well, say hey!
Two days from today!
The 1/3 Season mark, that is.
Followed instantly by the 200-day Season Milestone.
Stupenderifus!!
(Thanks again, Carl.)

Wow!
What a cold windy wet day we had yesterday.
The temp never got much above 50 and I never saw the sun.
Looking forward to a better day today with the high at least in the upper half of the 60's.
Then, 70's again for Thursday.
(That will be nice!)

Allrighty.
You have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends.
Get all rested up for another fantastic visit to the 'Pines tomorrow!

and that is why I never do my kids laundry, have not done it since they were about 10 years old. They learned real quick to make sure pockets were empty and colors not mixed with the whites!

Hope the dry cleaners can get the gum out.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!!! It's going to be another chilly day here in central Indy with a high around 60 degree's. I need to run to the grocery store this morning and then it will be back home to do some more cleaning. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
