Sending up prayers for everyone that was affected.

Thanks. It's amazing there were only a couple of minor injuries. There was one couple in a house that got tore off of it's foundation and flipped up side down. They walked away with just a few bumps and bruises. There was a car picked up and thrown into the front of a starbucks. No one was hurt though. Two schools got hit but luckily there wasn't any one in them. It's just amazing to see the destruction and know that no one got killed.

Good evening MMC!
I'm getting ready to turn in, it's been a long day.
I took my daughter to the doctor earlier and it doesn't look like she has strep. She's still complaining of a sore throat, hopefully it will pass soon.
I spent the rest of the day getting errands and chores done and making a big pot of chicken soup. The day flew by.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a great day!
See you in the morning!
Goodnight!!!

It seems like everytime I get on Facebook the number of confirmed Tornado's yesterday keeps rising. It's now up to 23 and they are still out there investigating. That stands as the thrid most in a single day in Indiana history.

So sad. All of those affected by the storms are in my thoughts & prayers.

Glad she doesn't have strep! Continued prayers for her

I bet Mom's homemade chicken soup will make her feel much better.

Goodnight, friend.

The stories are amazing. I haven't had the news on all day. I'll see if I can catch some of that on CNN tomorrow.

Hello all,

Another night getting here late, turkeys wiped me out again today. I am very tired, so I will be turning in.

Good night, everyone.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was a long, busy weekend, but The Nutcracker Ballet is upon us! Wednesday is a full dress rehearsal, then they have a Friday afternoon mini-presentation for local schools, then Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon shows. I can't wait! This year, the ballet company teamed-up with a local dance supply shop to offer beautiful Christmas ornaments that will be personalized with their names and Nutcracker Ballet 2013. They will be presented as a surprise at the Saturday night show.

This cold front everyone is talking about sure hasn't found its way down south. It's almost 80° at 9:30AM..but it's supposed to get into the 60's tomorrow.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Best of luck to Elizabeth! I remember when you told us she got the part and now it's here !!! Have a wonderful time !

Good morning!
I am heading out in a few minutes. I'm taking my daughter to the doctor, she feels awful and has a sore throat. I want to make sure she doesn't have strep. She is missing hours today for her nursing program and is supposed to start clinical tomorrow. Ugh!
I'll try and pop back in later. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

Sorry to hear your daughter is not well. I read in your later post that thankfully it is not strep. I hope she makes a full recovery soon. P.S. Send us some of your chicken soup !

Good morning, everyone! Let's of cleaning to do today! I'm starting today to do a heavy cleaning to put out the Christmas decorations next well.

Hope you all have a wonderful day! I'll check back later on!

Did you finish all your cleaning? I have a few more little bits to finish up this week before the bigger decorations start going up!!! Exciting!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and their Monday is going well!

Yesterday my daughter and I decorated the mantle for Christmas...with white lighted garland and some of my lighted snowmen.

May look a little strange for Thanksgiving next week but oh well!! It so nice to be sitting in the dark and have it glowing!

I bet it looks lovely, it must feel so Christmassy in your house! I have pulled my decorations down from the loft but I have not unpacked anything yet.

I can't believe I forgot to mention that Saturday night I put up my Buckeye tree in the basement!! I had some help! (our friends kids) Here they are putting up the tree...

And here is how the tree looked when they finished (had to go home)

Soooo - I did a "little" re-arranging & here's the final project. (need to get a new tree skirt - that is the Buckeye afghan I made last year. LOL)



(I really need to get a better picture with a camera - not a phone)

Holiday , that truly is a spectacular tree!! You and the kids did a fantastic job!

Happy MILESTONE Day!!!

Happy Milestone Day! I hope it wasn't too much trouble clearing away the tree that fell. Stay safe in this horrible weather!

Good afternoon everyone!

It's the first Monday of the Christmas Season! I received a call for an emergency supply this morning. I thought the school was only about 30 minutes away, but it turned out to be nearly an hour! Oops. I missed the first period, but they were really happen when I arrived. It all worked out in the end. Glad I could make it and get a full day's pay!

I am not too sure of anything else that may be happening today. I know that I have hockey tonight at 10pm. It's a little late, but I am excited to play. I missed last week due to having to teach in Cornwall. Hopefully we can win our first game in a while tonight.

Well, I should be going. It's another 50 minutes to drive home... and then find something to cook for dinner. I'm already starving, too!

Have a great Monday, everyone! Merry Christmas!

At least you got there to cover most of the lessons, I am sure they were relieved! How did you all do in the game last night? Your decorations look fantastic in your apartment!

I hope everyone got through the storms safely.

It's so exciting to see all your Christmas trees and decorations going up!

I spent a Christmassy day … spent a good hour and a half wandering around Russell's Garden Center in Wayland looking at all their wonderful Christmas stuff---so many things I saw made me think of all of you. I also stopped at the Home Depot for some additional Christmas lights---I needed an extra string for my tree, and got a couple strings of C7s to string on the hedge out front. (As usual, I mixed white bulbs in with multicolor bulbs.) I'll string the lights on the tree when I get home from work the day before Thanksgiving (hoping that will be early!), and the outdoor lights will go up shortly after. (I just can't get the hang of outdoor decorating … my efforts usually look pretty lame. But I always attempt something.)

It was so enjoyable to spend the day doing Christmas things … I hate to go back to work tomorrow. But it'll be a four-day week, and next week will be a short week leading up to Thanksgiving (is it possible? already?!), then lots of gift-wrapping and packages and music!

Mr. is still feeling pretty rough with his cold and is very raspy, but I'm hoping he's turned the corner and will be over it in a few days. Crossing my fingers that it won't latch onto me next. I'm going to try to get some hot tea into him this evening.

That sounds like a wonderful Christmassy day! I hope you have a good day back at work today. Sending get well wishes for Mister and I fingers crossed you don't catch it!

It seems like everytime I get on Facebook the number of confirmed Tornado's yesterday keeps rising. It's now up to 23 and they are still out there investigating. That stands as the thrid most in a single day in Indiana history.

So scary! I have been watching the news and thinking about my American friends. Stay safe everyone!
