Good Morning once again, fellow Weekend Compadres.

Aren't these weekly 2-day islands great for recharging the old batteries?

And, Hey! We can all get a charge out of this:
Days to the Season: 108
Days to Christmas Day: 150
Lookie, Lookie! ONE WEEK from tomorrow -- the 100-day Season Window Milestone.
Lord have mercy!

Well, no break from the heat and humidity yesterday until a late storm cooled things off.
Perhaps it will be a bit nicer today. We shall see.
I read 74 degrees currently on the back door thermometer here at our little home in the capital city.

You be sure and have a Sensational Saturday today, my Friends, OK?

Thanks Track !!! And Good luck to your Country and all countries in the Olympics !! Of course I am rooting for my home, the USA !! xoxoxo

THX a lot.....of course I am rooting for Germany....plus Cameroon (my man´s homecountry) and the US because of my family ties there....and I am rooting for the GB team....I love it.....This opening ceremonies was the best for quite some time....not so heavy and overly thoughtfull.....No....it really was the biggest party on earth....also some quiet moments .... and they belong there....but with lots of fun, lots of music......I loved how the parade of nations was done with Pop and Rockmusic in the Background....and not the typical classical stuff they always play...it made it so much shorter to watch it....lol....I loved the Voldemort being defeated by two dozens of Mary Poppins part, I loved the dancing part of youth peoples, I loved the start with this beautiful english green landscape and the transition part from rural farm country to an Industrial country.....and of course I loved how the Queen took part in the ceremony, being escorted by James Bond....and letting it seem as if she jumped outta the Helicopter .....everything was perfect and perfectly rounded up with Sir Paul McCartney rocking the crowd with Hey Jude...I wanted to join in the "Na Na na na na na naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" at the end...but would have woken up Kandice

Hope everyone had a great day. I ended up spending my day off work preparing for a conference presentation that I am supposed to be in....leaving town for a few days, but I'm getting to stay at a REALLY SUPER NICE hotel...it's a hard job, but somebody has to do it....it's not on our school's bill, so we will stay there if they insist.

Friends across the pond, excellent job on the Opening Ceremonies.

try to have a good time, sounds like it will be a hard few days for you, but giveit your best shot!

Here is Darlene Love's facebook post just a few minutes ago:

I WAKE UP everyday with a smile because I know I have something to be thankful for. I'm feeling a lot better .. THANK YOU for all the wonderful prayers you have sent me and well wishes - It helps! Have a great day, everybody! xoxo

It's so good to see she is recovering well!

That sounds like an incredible show - I checked and there are no channels I get that had it on. Hopefully someone I know DVR'd it! I'm glad you got to see it, track. Have a MERRY day!

[merrymistletoe]

hey y'all!!!!!! time is flying by huh? it's my b-day weekend, monday's the day. have peeps & family coming over today to hang out, woohoo.

trying to keep up w/ all the posts on here.....yowser that's hard! seeing alot of "missing for the last few months" friends coming back. yaay, always love that. it means Christmas is on everyones mind.

hubby's headed back out on monday. Canada bound! i miss him when he's gone. bummer.

so what's on the agenda for y'all today?:notice:

 

[MerryCarey]

Saturday hello! I missed the Olympic opening ceremonies, but Mr. was telling me about them this morning. I'm sorry I missed the Queen's entrance and the Mr. Bean bit! Maybe I can catch up with them on YouTube.

Much less scratchiness in the throat, but the fatigue is hanging on. That's okay, I'll just try to rest up this weekend. Even when I'm tired I can crochet. I'm trying to get ahead on the winter hats that I send to the homeless shelter in November. When I have a good stock of those, I'll pick out a Christmas afghan to work on. It's that time of year---gotta pick out the clips for this year's Christmas DVD, check our shopping lists, and start thinking about how to decorate. Maybe a couple of small pre-lit outdoor trees on either side of the front door this year? Some icicle lights inside the front window?

And how is your weekend shaping up?
