Good Morning, My Friends!!

And am I feeling good!
My clever niece has solved my nasty computer/modem problems and increased my internet speed to boot!
(It takes a youngster to really get these complicated things done right, you know.)

OK!
Back on line and on onward with our ever-dwindling count:
Days to the Season: 93
Days to Christmas Day: 135

Highdy-Ho, good neighbor, and Hark as well!
TWO days remain until we reach yet another Milestone, the 3/4 marker to the Season and the start of our final quarter.
(Makes you want to get an advance on Car's eggnog blend!)

The humidity?
Oh, yeah. It's here in spades.
The temp?
Not too bad but coupled with the humidity, it makes you want to give a gold medal to whoever invented air conditioning.
Right now, we show 76 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks!
(And after reading how close our next Milestone is, I'll bet your Week is off to a Fantabulous start!)

RIP Prince Friso....may Your family find the strenght to go through the loss
 
Hello everyone. My daughter had an appointment with an academic advisor this morning. I thought it would be nice if I took a ride with her but they don't let the parents go in with the students. So now I'm sitting in a waiting room. Hopefully she won't be too long.
It is raining here this morning but it is supposed to taper off by this afternoon. Not too much planned for today. The girls all have off from work so I'm going to pick up a pizza for lunch and we may do a little shopping this afternoon. I did a lot of cleaning yesterday so the house is in order. I just have some laundry and ironing to do.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be another warm humid day here in central Indy. The cold front is supposed to finally come though tonight though and it's going to feel great here the next couple of days. So I'm going to pack up the truck tomorrow morning and head out camping. I can only go overnight but I need to get away for awhile. So one night is better than none. So today is going to be spent cleaning and packing my gear. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite Christmas Gang!

I wish you all a great evening (at least it is evening where I live). I'm heading home and looking forward to watch a couple NCIS LA episodes.

See you all tomorrow!

Molly did good today! She got a new stuffed duck toy, to remind her of the two that use to be in my pool all the time. lol New bows, Molly and Maggie always get new bows. And cookies! There is a local pet store nearby that has the cutest little cookies for dogs. Molly and Maggie both had a couple of pink iced flower shaped cookies. I can't believe she is 11 already!

How did you finally get rid of the ducks in your pool? I missed that post!

Well, as bad as I hate to say it....I guess I better go to bed.

Summer is over.

But as I think about it....if we don't start the school year....we won't ever get to have the Little Bambina, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, NFL and College Football, the Super Bowl....

Ok, Ok.....I guess we can go back.

Best wishes and best of luck on the new school year!

School won't start around here for another couple weeks. I'm not looking forward to the school traffic coming back and making the commute longer.

Good morning everyone!!! It's been crazy around here lately and I sure missed checking in her. I figure it's going to be crazy for the next two weeks till school starts.

Finally got a diagnosis for DD's belly pains and stuff. After 3 procedures and blood work the Dr says it's IBS. Which is not fun but at least it's not as bad as they originally thought. So we are trying to figure out what some of her trigger foods are so she can try to stay away from them.

Spent all last weekend shopping for school stuff. NC had a tax free weekend on school supplies and clothes, so we went Fri,Sat and Sun. But we got everything.

Well gonna go try and catch up. Have a grand day:playing:

Glad you were able to figure out what's been causing here so much trouble. I'll continue to think of her.

Good morning!
I am on my third cup of coffee already. I need to walk the dogs and get my day started. My 18 year old woke me up with a phone call at about 1:00 in the morning, she got in to a car accident. She wasn't driving, one of her guy friends was. It wasn't her friends fault, the other car went through a stop sign and t-boned his car. Thankfully no one was hurt. I drove down to where it happened to make sure everyone was alright and to take my daughter home. I'm telling you, these teenage years are wearing me out. It's so stressful. I'm at the point where I don't even say hello when they call me, the first words out of my mouth are "Are you alright?"
Anyway, I have to go food shopping today. I'm happy I made it to my butcher yesterday, so that is off my list. I also need to go to the bank and the pet store. Other than that it will be a typical day, I have laundry and some other chores to do.
It is going to be sunny today with a high of 82 degrees. I wish it were a bit cooler but the humidity is gone, so I shouldn't complain.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

So glad to hear everyone was okay. I'm sure you were very shaken up.
 
Good afternoon! I just wanted to drop in & say hello. I'll be heading to lunch soon! We had a great weekend - weather was just gorgeous! I'm tired today!!! We did do the 25 mile bike ride Saturday morning. It was so nice!! No wind! We went through the countrysie & up along the lake. Beautiful!

My hubby is on vacation this week - he is golfing this morning. NO FAIR! :lol:

Hope you are all having a great day!!! Hope to catch up this afternoon...

Good Monday Morning!

I hope everyone is recharged and ready to take on the new week!

Not much planned today. Catching up with a few chores and errands and then I have an appointment with the Doctor.

I am looking forward to the Meteor shower tonight!!! I love stuff like this !! I really hope we see something exciting. The morning paper says we should have a clear night for viewing.

Fogot to share some exciting news. I picked up the autum Argos catelogue and inside it said the christmas one will be out on October 14th!!!!

Ok well got to dash. Hope your day is a good one...

Good Monday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

I usually make my main post earlier in the day, but after having been out of the office for a week, I was slammed with emails and post-it notes that demanded immediate attention. I'm finally caught up.

We had a great vacation! We got home yesterday afternoon about 6pm. It was 92° and 100% humidity. Yikes, it never got over 78° in Maggie Valley last week! I wanted to give Mgramsey a call to meet for a cup of coffee while I was in the neighborhood, but my family kept me on the run all week.

Still, it was good to see Bellville. A week is about as much time away from home as I want at one time. And it's good to have full-time access to MMC, too!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy
