[Solice]

Just popping in for a quick Hello!
We had a great day in the woods.
But it rained and rained, so we got a bit cold (especially I did)

Well, home we sat in front of the fireplace with chocolate
before we took a good long hot shower

Im of to a meeting regarding my stepsons next school year - in USA
Exiting! =]

In honor for all the Canadians celebrating Thanksgiving today, my granddaughter and I are about the watch, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!

AWE! That was a great idea! I wish I would have thought of that!!! LOL!

Late last night, I was looking at the total posts for last year and saw where it stands at right now, and it this pace, I believe, that the record for last year will be shattered; big time! Hmmmm, I guess that truely is an example of the gift for gab; huh????:lol:

Good morning everyone!
Aside from the 'Pines, today is a fairly special day. It's my dad's 58th birthday! It's hard for me to believe the fact that he is nearing 60. Not that 60 is old... He's still in great shape - he works out 3 times per week and plays hockey 5 times per week - and I am sure he will keep it up for quite some time. I'll have to give him a call to wish him a "Happy Birthday" sometime this evening.

Happy Birthday to your dad! cheesy

Good morning,

Another Wednesday, another late work day. Guess what I don't want to go. cheesy

I am really getting in the Christmas spirit lately, I can't wait to start decorating. I don't know if it is because the weather is getting cooler, or the thoughts of Christmas shopping, or the approval of the vacation, but my Christmas spirit is in high gear.
When I went to Kmart earlier, they had NOTHING yet, very disappointing.

Have a great Pines Day!!!

Well when my sister went to the er last night they discovered that she had actually ripped out 2 stitches. They just cleaned it up and taped it though since it had quit bleeding by the time she got called back. Now this morning she is bleeding from it again. So it looks like I get to keep my niece's until her doctor calls her back and tells her what he wants to do.

I`ll leave the office in a couple of minutes. Wish you a great evening. Enjoy the Pines tonight!

At home I have to clean up my room (eat leftover pizza) and I already hear my bed and my exciting book calling.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had to take an unexpected trip to Charleston, SC yesterday. My mom wanted to go to Myrtle Beach, SC for the week with some of the ladies from the church, but she had to stay for a physical therapy session on Monday. She can't drive with her arm in a sling, so she was going to ride up with another lady who was staying late, too. At the last minute, the other lady couldn't go, so I took the day off work and drove mom half way, and the ladies that were already at MB met us there and picked her up.

Three hours each way. My behind was sore when I got home LOL!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Yes I agree you Xmas, thanks. I know speaking for myself, I look forward to sharing and being here everyday with all my MMC friends/ family. And if I miss a day, I just doesn't feel right inside; like, I'm missing something....

Only 37 days until I put up my tree!!!

Good Morning Christmas Pals,

Its a beautiful day here in New Jersey. The sun is shining bright, and it's supposed to go to 70 degrees today. But no matter how warm it gets, I can still feel the cool breeze underneath letting me know my favorite time of the year is quickly approaching. I haven't been able to catch up on the posts but I hope all are doing well. I have been so excited to see how the stores are slowly but surely converting to the Christmas season. Only 37 days until I put up my tree and outside lights. I am so excited !!!! Can you believe it, the season is almost here!!!!

:transform:

It happened again! The cats outside caught another squirrel, older than the last one we found. He just laid there petrified so I was able to pick him up, put him in a cage to keep an eye on him to see if he was injured or just scared. About an hour later and after he took a nap he woke up alert and running all over the cage. I let him out and he ran straight up a tree. I am assuming no injuries! I hope he will be okay!

I am ready for Carl's blend of coffee!


Good to see again TamaraQT!

I took the rare pleasure of taking time to listen to one of my very favorite Classical pieces last evening....It is Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Op 92 in A. I know a lot of folks don't care for classical but There are so many kinds of music that I love and classical has a promient place. This particular symphony is haunting in its beauty...It actually sends chills up my spine when I listen to it. I don't know why. I believe he may have been deaf when he wrote it also but I am not sure about that. How could you write music if you are deaf ??? Amazing.......I also listened to Requiem by Mozart. He had such a short life. Died when he was in his 30s and they don't know why for sure.


I hope all are well and have a wonderful Christmassy evening. (((HUGS)))) to all ESPECIALLY:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London,) Buster, Missy, Baby and all furkids everywhere xoxoo.....

Yikes ........Time for meds xoxoxoxo

Hey CM3, I just adore classical music, over the summer the town puts on a series of free concerts and we have the various symphonies come and I just love the way they play the classics.

Good Morning

I hope you all have a nice day.

Do I remember it right that the canadian thanksgiving and the american thanksgiving (american = the united nation of america) isn't on the same date? The american one is on november right? Yes you are correct, in the US we have it the 4th Thursday of Nov, this year it is 11/22 (I love when it is earlier in Nov)

Other than that my mom has good news. She works in a nursing home. In the last couple of years she never worked on christmas. Therefore she thought she would choose to work on christmas this year, eventhough christmas is very important to her. Funny thing is, now almost all of her team members have also choosen to work on christmas. Now there are not enough team member who will work on new year eve. Yesterday the nurse manager came to her and asked her, if she could switch her working days. Of course she agreed to switch! Her joy is over the top at the moment. She is so happy that now she doesn't have to work during the christmas days.

Happy News for your Mom!!!

Have a Christmasy day everyone!!​

Good afternoon, everyone! Hope your day is going well. I am just sitting here with the kiddos and enjoying the afternoon.

Nothing is new here. Same old, same old! I go back to work tonight, then I am off starting Friday morning for the weekend. I am looking foward to it.

The best part about this site and this time of the year, is coming here and seeing new faces. I may not always get caught up everyday, but I just love to check-in and see the new faces!

I hope all is well with everyone! Talk to you all later on! God Bless! :smile:
