Hey gang! Been a few days since I've been here last...but we had a busy few days....

We had to go back to the dr. on Wednesday for the baby....a little checkup...nothing major....and then Thursday I had ballgame duty...when I got home...my wife was in tears and our oldest dog was terribly sick....we had to take him to the vet and have him put down. It's ok. I don't know if many of you remember, but it's been two years since he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure...and that's quite a long time to stay alive with that. He was 11...

He was there when I coached my first game, he was there when I coached my last. He was there when we met Dr. Wifey...and he was there when I proposed. He was there when we found out we were going to have a baby...and he was there when we brought her home. It was almost like he was just waiting to see her get here....to know she was ok and that we were going to be ok. I hated having to make that decision, but that is part of my job as his companion....to make the difficult decisions that will keep him comfortable. It was peaceful, we got to say goodbye....and Dr. Wifey kissed him as he went to Rainbow Bridge.

It has been a tough few days, but my brother and his wife came down to meet the baby....so that has kept us busy. Little girl is growing like a weed...and between chaning diapers, feeding, and holding...I've been swamped....but I sure do love it.

Have a great day! I will see yall later today!

What a special bond you had with your dog, Coach. You have my deepest sympathy on his loss. {{{HUGS}}}

It's a rainy, quiet Sunday here. (Well, it became quiet after the fellow stopped running around the street here on his motorbike ...) Normally we'd get a bite of lunch out somewhere, but today we just feel like staying put on reheating leftovers from Friday night's pizza. I was busy earlier doing some video editing, but then I sat down to place some online merchandise orders, and now I'm just hanging out with you. It's a good place to be! Speaking of which, our 19th anniversary is this week. Time flies when you're in love!

A very Happy Anniversary to you and Mr., Merry!

I fear this time of year as we are so close, and time flies so quickly that it is here and gone in a heartbeat! If I could work my will, I'd slow time to half the normal speed from November 13th to Jan 1...Alas, times does what time does...it flies...Happy milestone none-the-less with a special thanks to my friend Crown for their able countdown updates all year long, they have brightened more than a few dark days for me this year...and it has been a REALLY hard year...

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I don't have anything exciting planned for today. I have to do some work this afternoon on my part-time business.

On the plus side, the kids are out school today for their fall break, so I don't have to eat lunch alone!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Happy Milestone Day MMC!!!!!!! It's a beautiful day here with the high only getting to the mid 60's. I finally broke down and went to the ER this morning to get my foot checked. Mainly because I was threatened within an inch of my life by Sugar and Snowflake if I didn't go. LOL!!!! I was pretty sure that I knew what was wrong already but the doctor confirmed it. I have a stress fracture of one of the metatarsal bones. So for the next 4 to 6 weeks I get to wear some fancy new footwear and use Crutches. Which I hate and probably won't use. I'll just use a cane to keep some of the weight off of it. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no, I had no idea your foot was that bad. So glad you went to the ER. Take care, made! I hope you heal quick!!!

I'm glad you mentioned that. Just this week I was wondering if it is as big a deal on the Texas side as it is in Oklahoma. I know folks who go down there even if they don't have tickets.

I kind of feel bad for Mack Brown. He is a good coach and I don't want him to go out like this. That being said I'm still cheering for the Sooners like crazy! :)

It's a HUGE deal here and makes headline news. I don't even follow college football or this game but hear everyone talk about it and all the news coverage.
 
Happy Milestone Day, MMC!!!!!

We've made it! It's the evening of the homestretch. Unbelievable. No. Wait. It's not. Crown even said it above! A Milestone Monday. Congratulations, everyone. The final milestone before the Season has arrived. In a mere 37 days, we will all be gathered here counting down the seconds to the beginning of the Christmas Season. Personally, I cannot wait to be here in realtime with all of you. It is a magical moment - each and every year. Until then, let's all continue enjoy seeing the signs of Christmas fill our regions, cities, towns, villages and even homes. It is truly almost The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. And for my fifth year, I look forward to spending it with the Most Wonderful People on the Internet!

In celebration of this milestone, I am not surprised to see more than 40 pages in the countdown thread! Great work, everyone. I had my first day at work today. It was an interesting experience. It was definitely a little boring, but I am sure that will improve as the week goes on.

Well, I think I am off to check out the Blossoms thread to see some more magical sights and sounds that you've all been so gracious to share. I can't wait to find some of my own this upcoming (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend!
 
Good evening, MMC!

I have to clean the kitchen a bit after the canning I did this afternoon/evening. Today I made tomato basil jam and ketchup. I have been in the kitchen most of the afternoon and ended up making only 5 pints total. Since I was trying out new recipes I only did one batch each. Takes a long time to cook ketchup down and there is a lot of stirring, too. Smells tangy in here! Still a lot to do today - busy season in more ways than one!

Be MERRY!!!
 
Good evening friends. I have The Christmas Waltz stuck in my head (the Frank Sinatra version) and I love it! I may have to listen to it.

Hope you all have a good night!
