hey y'all! been kind'a busy around here the last 2 days.

daughter & I went shopping but i never managed to find anything because she wanted to look for her stuff. i'm gonna tell ya' mama needs some new threads. i'm wearing cut off sweat pants shorts now & t-shirts from anyone that has them around. oh well, maybe next time but i do think my boss would appreciate a bit more elegance in my attire. lol

hope y'all had a great weekend.

Girl's shopping trip!! You in? :smile:

I hope you are feeling better soon. Prayers going up!



OOPS! Them nieces must have worn you out!



LOVE IT!



We had that kind of Sunday today too. It was much needed! I put up my fall decorations.

Nice =) Did you do indoors & outdoors?

That's terrible. Poor girl! I hope she gets it back!



I had my hubby light the pilot for our fireplace tonight. Its supposed to be 35º overnight!!

Stay warm tonight, my friend!! )

Wow !! Five years guarantee on the Instant Power Trees ?? Must have gotten the bugs worked out !

That's what I was thinking!! Wow!
Makes me want one more!

The blues and green's take over the multi.

That stinks. I wondered about that..only saw the yellow & red on a close-up.

ok,I give up, you guys just talk to much when watching that show thingy that wants you to buy everything. LOL sounds like fun!

I am back from work and ready for bed, especially since I have to be back there at 10am.

sooo...

May your troubles be less, may your blessings be more, and
may nothing but happiness come through your door

That's such a pretty saying.
Sleep well, CS. And have a great day at work tomorrow!

**As usual, I'm a day late & a dollar short!** You guys cracked me up tonight, though, while catching up cheesy

Good Morning MMC!

Very chilly this morning at only 4c (39f)....thats almost frost temps!!!

 

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Folks.

Hey!
New week!
New count figure!
.....One step away from our next Milestone!!

Days to the Season: 50
Days to Christmas Day: 92
Indeed, my Friends. Tomorrow will be yet another Milestone Day as we complete 3/4 of our journey back to Christmas.
After that marker......shudder......it's just too much to think about!

Simply stupendous weather yesterday with highs in the 70's, lots of sun and no rain.
How long can this go on?
(Plenty long, I hope)
We show a somewhat chilly 52 degrees here at this hour in the capital city.

Well, Sirs, Madams and Indeterminates, you have a Marvelous Monday, OK?

 

[Undrtakr]

Good chilly morning everyone!

Yes I was posting on the facebook page with QVC pictures. I'll post them here tonight when I get home. William and I put out the Halloween stuff Saturday afternoon! My neighbor has a pumpkin out too! We went to Costco yesterday and they have some Christmas stuff out. There were too many people to take pictures. They had Christmas cards, trees, wrapping paper, candies, Christmas tin boxes, Nativity scenes and yes, even chocolate Advent calendars. A little early for the chocolate Advent calendar but why not! Too bad I couldn't take pictures. It was very nice. I was clapping while my Wife was rolling her eyes saying "Yes yes we will get to that isle soon enough". hehe. Well better get back to work. Hope you all have a great day!

Good Monday morning everyone. We had a nice weekend. Drove to Pigeon Forge, TN Saturday. Of course we had to walk through "The Incredible Christmas Place". (That's my side of the trade-off of spending most of the day shopping).

Great weather here. It was 38 when I left for work this morning and looking for a high in the low 60s.

Congratulations to Jacob! A learners permit is a big deal.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my mom. Dad & Mom spent the day at Pigeon Forge with us. She took her pain meds and kept going...

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a BEAUTIFUL morning here! It started out in the lower 50's (unheard-of around here in September) with a light breeze and the sun is shining. Wow. I have all my office windows open, and I'm thinking of firing up my Mulled Cider candle. I was trying to wait until October, but I don't know if I can.

I let Jacob drive my truck (and me) all over creation this weekend. He's never been really interested in driving the golf cart or 4-wheeler or anything like that before, but now I think we've created a driving monster. LOL

He and I worked on his hunting area yesterday, using the tractor to harrow are get ready for planting next week. I love driving my Dad's tractor. It feels like he's right there with me. Strange, I know, but he loved driving that tractor, and he loved that hunting plot.

I gotta get some things done. I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning everyone!

Happy Monday! Normally, I wouldn't be excited to return to work, however, we're so close to another milestone (tomorrow) and today marks only 50 days to the Christmas Season! We can't go wrong with those numbers - as provided by Crown. To further add to the excitement, it is a safe bet that the Christmas Blossoms thread will be debuted this week! Possibly even today, as it was debuted on this date a year ago. Crown is still hanging around the forum, so my fingers are crossed that we can see magical photos from "A Christmas To Remember" in the Crabtree Valley Mall!

What a weekend. It wasn't very busy but it was still great to relax, especially on Saturday night. Yesterday was a little busy. I had practice in the afternoon. I was able to participate in warm ups and then a few throwing drills. It was great to get on the field, once again. Now, I'm just hopeful that my recovery continues so that I can play in just under two weeks in Boston. As long as I continue to rehab, I should be OK.

Yesterday evening I had my first hockey game in nearly two years. It was very exhausting. As previously mentioned, it was our first game as a team. Some of our guys really haven't played hockey before and a small number of guys hadn't played together before. It will take a bit of adjustment. In a competitive game, we lost 3-2. A couple defensive breakdowns costs us the game. Oh well! It was a good time and I enjoyed being out there. I can't wait for my puck-handling skills and skating-legs to return. It's been so long that I've lost both!

Another week is here. Let's enjoy this one. Signs of Christmas are popping up here and there. Not quite everywhere yet, but that makes it even more special when we find them. Christmas will soon be in full "Blossom." Only 50 Days left until the Season! And, in three months from today, we'll be celebrating Christmas Eve!!!

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Sounds like a fair trade-off to me! That must have been a great walk!

Congratulations to Jacob!! Glad he's taking to driving! And it's great that you're both preparing for hunting! It's extra special that there is a "third" with you on at least part of the journey as well!

Everything you said above makes me incredibly jealous. :wink:

Oh, he's quite proud of himself. LOL

Your mom is obviously very strong. Still praying for her & your dad, and your family.

cool!
He most likely uses voice commands to do his texting. I do mine that way but quickly learned to read before sending!

Good afternoon!
We are soon ready for dinner.
(salmon burges today)

Just thought I would pop in to say Hi first!
Hi! ♥

Thanks, Brad. It's hockey and I'm 27. I'm not playing competitively anymore. Although I get angry at myself when I screw up, it just makes me try harder. It would be great to win, but that's just an added bonus. I'm out there for a good time.
