Hey Friday! It's good to see you!

 

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Friends and Christmas Neighbors.

Hey! It's Weekend Eve once again!

And what better way to get into the mood than to read this:
Days to the Season: 53
Days to Christmas Day: 95
Barely over half a week away now from the 3/4 mark to Christmas Day.
(Holy Mistletoe, Batman!)

BEAUTIFUL day here yesterday with no rain, sunny skies, gentle breezes and highs in the mid 70's.
About as good as it gets around these parts (or any parts, for that matter!).
I read 59 degrees on our thermometer here at this hour.

You have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Folks!
I am sure your Weekend will begin Wonderously this afternoon -- with the spirit of the Season as your guide.

It seems strange to say goodbye to summer 2012. It was fun. The weather was beautiful, too. I'm sure the fun will only increase as the countdowns continues!

Holiday: All the best to your SIL! She'll fight through this one!

Good morning everyone!

I'm posting a little early. Happy final day of Summer! While some people will long for the warm summer days that have past, we all look forward to the true milestone of the year, Christmas! Hooray!

The weather forecast seems to have "fall" written all over it for the next few days. Temperatures are supposed to only hover in the the lower-to-mid teens (50s) and reach the lower 20s (60s) only once. No complaints here!

I have some decent news in regards to my knee. I had my final physio appointment yesterday evening. My physiotherapist was real impressed with my progress over the past couple weeks. I could complete all the exercises without any pain. Well, lunges gave me a little bit of pain, but that will subside soon. I have the green light to participate in warmups on Sunday and then warmups and a little bit of practice on Tuesday, followed by a full practice next Sunday. It's been a long journey. Now, I just have to hope for no setbacks. When it's all said and done, it will be over two months since I last practiced and just under two months since I lasted scrimmaged/played in a game. That's a long time for me!

No real plans for the weekend yet. Kim and I have some ideas, but we'll have to see if our friends are up for it. We haven't had a hangout weekend in quite some time, so I'm hoping the fun can return!

Have a great Friday, everyone! Enjoy your final day of Summer. Signs of Christmas should begin to popup soon!

great news about your knee! Now be careful and do not over do it, you do not want to have to start over again.

I love fall, the weather is still warm enough to go out without a jacket most times, not to hot and not to cold. The colors are already changing on the trees. And best of all it is the last season before winter and Christmas!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a rainy day here in central Indy. That's okay though because everything I need to get done is inside. My niece's called last night and wanted to come stay the night tonight, so I guess I have to go pick them up after they get out of school. That's going to ruin my plans of sleeping all day tomorrow to get ready for QVC. I better pick up some more coffee while I'm out. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

I have some decent news in regards to my knee.

Glad to hear that it's finally getting better!

Good Morning!

I have been nursing an injured baby squirrel all night. I am currently trying to locate a rehabilitation center to take him in. Poor little baby!


Caninemom, scanning through the post I see you are still in pain. I am so sorry and pray you get some relief!

 

[jennifer91]

Just got a text from my sister. Jackie is in her room, my sis is at Jackies house, & Jackie is worried about the wound vac. I hope they both get some sleep tonight.

Holiday, I will continue to pray for Jackie and for your entire family. I hope that your sister and Jackie were both able to get a good night's sleep last night. Please keep us updated!

How is everyone on this lovely Friday morning? Feeling well? How are your families? Plans for the weekend? I love to hear it :]

Thank goodness it is Friday, it has been a long week! I ran a few errands this week, and I am so excited that I found some Christmas decorations out to buy. However, I am a little disappointed that Walmart's decorations are stored up so high - put them down! My Walmart has been slacking. There were no Halloween things out except for candy and a couple of blow up yard decorations until only this week. When I shopped yesterday, the employees were rushing around and putting out costumes and decorations.

I have a couple of classes this morning, so sadly I have to already go and get ready for my day. I barely have time to catch up on posts anymore! I will do so as soon as I get home. I finished all of my assignments and studying early on in the week so I would be able to relax and enjoy my weekend.

Have a great day, everyone - talk to you all soon!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was really foggy this morning, but it's cleared up to a cool, sunny day. nice! Mom has more physical therapy today, then we'll have lunch. This afternoon Jacob goes to take his learner's license test...Lord help us all!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[mgramsey]

Good morning everyone.

I glad to see summer end. Soon no more snakes, bugs, or weed-eating. We're starting to see bears again as they try to fatten up for winter. We are looking at highs in mid 70s & lows in lower 50s/upper 40s today and Saturday. But another cold front is due Sunday and we are forecast to have highs in mid 60's and lows in upper 30's for a few days. We may have to close our bedroom window. Now that is great early fall weather!

We continue to pray for all those experiencing health issues. My mom's pain level is gradually increasing. She now needs a cane to help walk. But she keeps going. She picked muskie dimes for over an hour yesterday.

Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.

Good luck Jacob. It is good that he gets to learn in a small town. Driving is always dangerous but it is certainly easier in a rural area. Our son has had his license for nearly a year now. He still hasn't really driven in a city.

I remember a local highway patrol officer told us that except for sending your child off to war, having them drive off in car was the most dangerous thing they would do.

i am so sorry to hear of your moms pain. i do continue to pray for her. i have to tell you... i just chuckled when i read "muskie dimes", muscadines, we southerners have our own way to speak don't we? a coworker had someone call & ask for a "hot biscuit plant" after a minute she realized they wanted an hibiscus plant. lol . around here if we mean to THROW something it's always thow something.

Thanks for posting this, Made!!



Thanks, Seawaters!!
No, my sister lives in Wisconsin. She comes out every Fall, and just needed a vacation. She wanted to whoop it up here w/ me one more time! =) So, I'm extra happy that I'll be close to her & my niece once we get back. They will be about 90 miles away. I love that song, too- such a cheerful tune! Have a great evening!! xo

That will be SO nice - 1st to whoop it up w/ your sis in Vegas, then to move back home & be close to them!

Sending positive vibes, MerryNoel!! Have fun decorating this weekend!!



I wish I was there w/ you! That movie is one of my favorites!



You should have come over!!! :grin: I could not keep my peepers open to see the whole thing, so I will finish it after work today. Can't wait to see the rest - I am close to the ending.

Btw, is Meceka on vacation? I haven't seen her here for awhile, and was worried about her.

g'morn'in y'all! nice & cool this morning when i took the puppy dogs out.

It was 46º for my morning walk with no wind...perfect!!!

It must have taken you awhile to post that with all the colors...but I love it!!!! Thanks for the prayers for Jackie. Plans for the weekend - we have a golf outing in memory of my uncle tomorrow. This is the 10th annual golf outing. Possibly the last, but hopefully not. It's such a fun day. We are leaving our house at 7am, so it will be a long day! That's really our only plans for the whole weekend. But that will take up the whole day. 3 other couples (friend of ours) are golfing with us! A day full of family & friends! What are your plans?

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was really foggy this morning, but it's cleared up to a cool, sunny day. nice! Mom has more physical therapy today, then we'll have lunch. This afternoon Jacob goes to take his learner's license test...Lord help us all!

Friday hello ... hoping to see some leaves turning color when I drive to the North Shore tomorrow. Also tomorrow, a radio station in Chicago will be featuring a half-hour interview with Gloria Jean, plus the radio version of one of her movies, "The Under-Pup." The show is on WDCB 90.9 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Central time---I think Gloria's stuff is in the second hour. I haven't heard the interview, so I'm excited to hear it!

May run down to Brookline later tomorrow and see MIL's iPad---thinking of getting one, she's enjoying hers so much.

Thinking of you all!

Good morning MMC! :hi: "Happy" last day of summer!!! I am sad to see summer go, but I do love fall & all the holidays! So ready or not...

I haven't heard any updates on Jackie this morning so hopefully no news = good news!
Oh...incoming text - Sis is at hospital with Jackie. "She will stay 1 more day for pain control. She will definately need home health care for wound vac. She is doing good overall & still has good attitude! No one brought her any food yet. That kind of stuff makes me crazy!"

So generally all sounds good! Hopefully she can keep that good attitude!!! Poor girl must be hungry!!!

Bosses are both gone today, so this has been a GOOD morning at work! :smile:

Make it a great day!
