Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Seawaters]

What a great husband and family, Snowflake!

Hey friends!!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday!!

I'm having fun with my Mom & Dad, and as always, there's lots going on here =]

After a very nice brunch, we came back to hang out here at their house. My sister, Shannon, and niece, Alyssa were here as well. Within a few minutes, my nephew Bill stopped by & brought my sister & Mom flowers. How sweet was that?! He's my sister's 24 year old stepson, but she practically raised him, my BIL had full custody. Then, Adrian showed up to spend some time with my Mom- very unexpected & thoughtful!! He had been at his parents @ 45 miles away. So, we just visited & I played with Alyssa & then we decided to all take a walk. Next, My Aunt Mary showed up out of the blue to wish us a Happy Mother's Day! It was like Grand Central Station!! After our walk, Shani & Alyssa left, and our neighbor & good family friend, Rich, stopped by to say hello. LOL. What a day!! We just finished a late supper, and we're all exhausted.

Going to watch some tv & crash soon.

Hope you're all doing well!!

Thinking of you & your Mom's today.

{{{Hugs}}}

From this point forward, I will no longer refer to Wifey as "Wifey"...I hereby declare that wifey's new name is.........(drum roll)........

Dr. Wifey! !

Congrats to your wife!

Good evening everyone! and Happy Mother's day too! We have had a busy week with me working overtime. I just have 2 more weeks and brandi has 2 weeks too then we move in about 4 weeks! Just wanted to hop in and say hi! Once we get settled in Utah I will be around more! I hope everyone is doing good and I miss yall!

Hi! Moving can be so stressful, I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Good morning everyone, and happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there...y'all are awesome!

Well, it's been a fun and not so fun weekend (sick kids and some things like that) but things are getting better. On the fun side, my wife graduated with her Master's and we were all at least able to attend, so that was great! I'm very proud of her.

I hope you all have a great Sunday!

Wonderful news about your wife's success! Sorry the weekend wasn't as good as it could have been.

I hope that all you moms out there has had a wonderful Mothers Day! Lisa decided to put off Mothers Day and celebrate it on another day due to both of our kids are away from home. My daughter will be home from school this Tuesday, but my son won't be home from the boot camp (Air Force) until sometime around the end of June/ beginning of July. We may even delay celebrating Fathers Day as well when it comes around.

We may do this Mother/ Fathers day all in one day when both of our children are home, and then we will all be together again!

Have fun everyone and enjoy your day with your Families....

Sounds like a great idea!

ChristmasAholic - So glad to hear your mum's recovery is going well.

Brent - I hope you eventually find a job you are more passionate about but it's great that you are staying positive about your current one.

Seawaters - I bet you are excited about your trip!! Sounds like you are well prepared for it too!

Hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday! Mothers Day in England is actually in March so a pretty normal day for me yesterday! I feel a lot better this morning so I think this cold is leaving me. Hope you all have a great day!

Snowflake - I 'm so glad to hear you had such a good visit with your mum! I remember you said it was the first time in 10years! Sounds like it was a good one!

Good Morning :dance:

 

[xmastidings]

here we know better than to plant before the May 24 weekend...or at least we should. Right now it is snowing and everything is turning white.

That is so cool Star, to still be having some snowfall (even if it is just a bit), in the middle of May. Ha, you guys got more snow in the month of May, then what we received total in the past two years; lol.... Have fun and enjoy the snow.

I hope you had a wonderful Mothers Day.....

I have that song in my head "baby its cold outside"! its the middle of May in south Georgia! it should not be in low50's and tonight in the mid 40's! Anyway good morning mmc! its a Monday and I am off because I have a dr apt and so I just took off to get a lot of errands that we have let pile up done! I hope everyone has a great day and I will check back in when I get home!!

Good Morning, Friends.

Another new week begins.
And these weeks are really adding up as we move well into the year.

Just look at the statistics:
Days to the Season: 184
Days to Christmas Day: 226
Hey, now!
Day after tomorrow.
The HALF WAY Milestone to Christmas Season 2013.
Seems incredible. So soon!

We had a return to cooler weather yesterday but it was sunny and precip free.
Should be close to a carbon copy today.
After that, colder then hotter by late week -- possibly into the low 90's!
(Do we have to have these extremes? Maybe I'll move to Hawaii.)
It's currently 49 degrees here in the capital city.

Anyway, you have a Marvelous Moday, OK?

North of here in Timmins Ontario they had 25cm of snow, the school kids have a snow day!

Thank you, Festive Spirit!!

Yes, it was the first Mother's Day I've celebrated with her in 10 years, we lived out of state before =]

Hope you had a beautiful day!!

Good morning, friends!!

It's a cool morning here in La Crosse, WI. We woke up to 30 degrees. High of 65. Sunny for the morning, possible storms this afternoon.

Hopefully Har & I will make it home before they hit.

I love driving the old Highway 53!! Reminds me of going on vacation every summer, that's the route we'd take. And it takes me directly to our neighborhood
now. We pass a lot of small towns & Amish farms. It's like heaven to me.

Happy Monday to you all =]

Hope you have a great day!!

Tell your mom Happy Mother's Day from me. My mom is in Heaven so it is difficult to send a card and flowers. Have some Tony's chocolate ice cream for me and some fish and hushpuppies!!! Have you been to the new Lineberger's yet, or did I ask you that already, LOL? I hear you about the weather. I will be glad when fall gets here again! Be careful on your drive.

Thanks. We had a nice mother's day visit. Mom's having to take more pain medication but she keeps going even with her wound pump as a constant companion. We did make it to Tony's for ice cream and to ROs for a BarBq sandwich. Didn't make it to Linebergers this time but we did go a couple of months ago. It tasted the same and was very busy.

Hope you had a great mother's day and we are continuing to pray for your son.

Another Monday closer to vacation ... and to Christmas!

 

[mgramsey]

Woke up to a lovely 32 degrees this morning. It was great seeing frost again. We should be in the mid 30s again tonight. Sadly though we should warm up later in the week with forecast highs up to 80.

The older folks here say never start planting a garden until May 15. Those that planted early may have a problem this year.

Have a blessed Monday everyone.

Off to Goderich today, LittleCS has appointment with specialist which will hopefully result in her being approved for Ontario disability support program.
She has familar tremble that makes her hands shake so bad that at times she cannot hold things.

Have a great day everyone!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high of 60. We actually had a fairly heavy frost on everything this morning. That should be the last one of spring. The long range forecast shows us staying above 40 from here on out at night. I don't have much planned for today. I just need to clean up the mess I made while cooking for everyone yesterday and get some laundry done. I'm also going to get out and enjoy the weather while it's still cool enough to do so. We are going to see temps near 90 by Wednesday so I'll be firing up the air conditioner for the first time and locking myself inside. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
