Good evening,

My eyelids are heavy tonight, it was a long week this past week.
I am planning to do some work around the house including renting an upholstery cleaner and washing the furniture, it has been a few years since I've done that. I have the next 2 days off, so it will be nice and restful with 2 days off in a row.

I am going to head to bed very soon.

Good night, all.

Enjoy your time off!!!

Have a safe trip Virginia!

Merry Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend with your families. We had a nice ,quiet one. Mr. Festive brought down his guitar and played for a bit. It's been a while since he's done that , I think he must miss being part of a band and ''jamming'' with his mates. The boys love it especially my little one.

I could not read all of the posts , I have to get a few things sorted but I'll pop back later. Have a fantastic start to the week everybody! It is the first week of March after all!

Sounds like a great weekend with your family!
Have a wonderful day Festive!

Thanks Snowflake!
They were way off with this storm, but I guess it happens.
I think I'm ready for Spring! I'm looking forward to warmer temperatures. I want to open the windows and let in the fresh air and hear the birds chirping. I want longer days. I think the clocks change next weekend!

Good morning, MMC!!

We are still very cold overnight! The high is 9 degrees today. They are saying we will reach the 20's later in the week. Fingers are crossed!

Stay safe & warm, friends~

Can't wait for Spring!

Hope you have a blessed & beautiful day!!

Good Morning, Friends of the New Week, the Season and Everything Christmas.
(Heck. Everything HOLIDAY, right?)

And this will certainly put you in a friendly mood:
(Maybe even festive.)
Days to the Season: 255
Days to Christmas Day: 297

And our post number 1 chart tells us that our next Milestone, the 1/3 marker to the Season, is just 12 days off now.
Wow! Can we be that close to SINGLE DIGITS to yet another Milestone so soon?
(If Santa was here, he would nod his head and smile.)

We have started out at a very nice 56 degrees here this morning but the temp is predicted to fall instead of rise and we are supposed to get down to 20 degrees tonight with possible precip of some sort!
(Arrrrgh! Just when I thought winter was about behind us.
But then it's not nice to be presumptive about Mother Nature!)

But whatever your weather, you'll weather it better if you just keep your eye on the Spirit of the Season and it's wonderful message.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!

Thanks Crown, I hope you have a great day!!!

Good morning!
It is going to be chilly today but I'm not going to complain after seeing the temperatures that Snowflake and Christmasstar have! We were down to 5 degrees last night but will have a high of 23 today.
Not too much going on here, typical day for me. I'm going to get meatball soup started in the crock pot and then I have some chores to do. Then a few quick errands. And whatever else comes up.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!
Stay safe and keep warm!!!

Lucky you!
All our forecasted snow went south. Literally. Haven't seen a flake! Middle of last week it looked like we were going to get socked with a foot, but the forecast changed dramatically over the weekend. But I don't feel too bad---tonight is Mr.'s film club meeting, first one since December, and he didn't want the weather to cancel it.

Film club sounds good to me. Enjoy your day!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

All this talk of cold weather, and it's supposed to be in the mid-70's here today. Still, it's going into the mid-30's tonight, but no freezing weather.

This weekend is the annual Rattlesnake & Wildlife Festival. It always drawings thousands of people into our community, with food & crafts vendors, rattlesnake & animal displays, music, beauty pageant, and the parade. I'm riding in the parade again this year, representing the City of Bellville, along with my son and my father-in-law, Bernie. I say it every year, but it's the truth: I'm the Mayor, but Bernie is Bellville's most recognizable citizen. Everybody loves Bernie! They call out to him from the street! I'm driving along the parade route, waving my beauty pageant rotating-hand wave, and folks are yelling "Bernie!". LOL

City council meeting tonight, then a meeting with the county commissioners tomorrow night. Ugh.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you have nice weather this weekend for your Rattlesnake & Wildlife Festival!! Love that about Bernie, that's awesome. I bet you're pretty popular, too! You sure are with us, friend.

Have a fabulous day!!
