Good Mor............

Wait!!

Nobody move! A fuse is out!

Fortunately, we have a spare so that we can successfully bring you this:
Days to the Season: 188
Days to Christmas Day: 230
And even more fortunately, we find ourselves under a week away from the half-way Milestone to the Christmas Season.
(And the lights are shining again!)

A bit warmer yesterday but still too cool for May. More rain as well.
But at last the weather service sees light at the end of the chilly, wet tunnel.
Today should be dry with the high close to 80.
(What a welcome change that will be!)
We are now at 56 degrees here in the capital city, with fog.

OK, Friends.
It's Thrilling Thursday Time!
Time to take a deep breath and prepare yourselves for yet another Weekend Eve tomorrow.
Boy! The weeks just keep cycling by so fast, don't they?
Pretty soon, it will be time to decorate for our favorite season again!

Hey, hey, hey! Gooooooood morning! Hope this finds you up and ready to enjoy another beautiful day. Temps are supposed to be mid-80's here today and everything in finally drying out. I even got to mow the yard (in spots) yesterday.

Today, I'm off on a road trip. Baseball and softball team play in the state tourney, so I'm heading that way to show a little support. Gonna be a late night, but it'll be ok.

See ya during the ballgame, I will be catching up on tappatalk! Later, gang!

Good morning everyone! I was up and about myself this morning at 4:50am to head off to another fun day at the office. I had one of those nights last night where sleeping was apparently not on my brains to do list; :-? lol...

So, I believe it's time now for another cup of coffee; looks like it's going to be alot of that consumed day in order to function....

Good morning, friends!!

It's a rainy day here, with a high of 62 degrees. Quite a cool down from yesterday.

I am so tired, but I had to get up & let Har outside, and can't fall back asleep. So, better go make some strong coffee!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Snowflake, we have the same exact forecast here on Long Island today.

I just walked the dogs, straightened up the house and started laundry. Typical day. Not too much planned, I just need to take a ride to CVS for a few things and go visit my father.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day :-D

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

After work yesterday, I went to do some work on my part-time business and I got something in my eye. I don't know what it was, but my eye turned red and hurt like the devil. The same eye I hurt a couple weeks ago. I gotta start wearing goggles or something.

I took the kids for their Wednesday evening teen meeting at church, and the youth leader that has energized all these kids announce that he has to move back home to KY. They're all heartbroken, and I'm disappointed. He had really gotten the kids revved up for church functions again. Hopefully, we can get another youth leader like him.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Lots to do but my get and go left...I did get my son to take one of the seats out of the center of the van, does that count as work for me?

You all rock! Thanks for all the kind words again! Thank you Made for updating everyone on my mom's surgery!

My mom was so nervous and she cried as they wheeled her off to surgery then I started to cry! (Not in front of her). Just glad that all went better than anticipated and I was so dang exhausted last night, you know, one of those "been stressed for days, everything worked out well then collapse exhaustion"! I slept like a rock.

While in the waiting room a Southern Living Christmas magazine was sitting there. That was a nice surprise. Also I ran into a friend in the waiting room that I have not seen in over 20 years! She was waiting on a friend who was having surgery and it sure helped pass the time away quickly catching up on so much!

I actually came on here last night from my cell phone but it was the first time I visited the site from a smart phone and just having a little trouble navigating the site. I will figure it out, just didn't have time due to being busy at the hospital last night so I just email Made to pass word along.

I scanned through all the post quickly because I got to go take care of my parent's cats, give one of them medication and get to the hospital.

Thanks to everyone here for good thoughts and prayers!
