Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Thank you Snowflake!
Molly & Maggie did pretty good. The A/C was running and I had a fan on too for some white noise. Molly jumped up a few times but I talked her through it, lol.
How did Harlowe do with the fireworks?
I hope you all had a good night!
xo

You are such an awesome Mom! Glad the girls did pretty good
Har did about the same, considering. A lot of people are gone in the neighborhood, so not a lot of loud fireworks close by- thank God! Just the loud ones from downtown at the park. Har must've heard some, because she kept jumping down, but never was down for too long. She comes to my side of the bed & scratches, lol. Wish she would just curl up against me
Thanks for asking!

Good morning!
It rained here most of the day yesterday. It finally cleared up later in the evening when the sun was setting, just in time for people to light off their fireworks. I'm kind of dragging my feet this morning but I have to get moving soon. I have to do a big food shopping, I have nothing in the house. Hopefully I'll be able to rest for a little while before we head to my in-laws later this afternoon for a barbecue. I've been so tired lately. I don't plan on staying there too late anyway. I would like to get back here for the dogs, I'm sure there will be lots of fireworks going off again this evening.
I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July!
Have a Happy Saturday!!!

Hope you can get some rest & relaxation today. Have fun at your BBQ!! Keeping Molly & Maggie in my prayers

Happy Saturday!!

Xx

"A Capital Fourth" was better than usual I felt, although there were still too may songs that had nothing to do with Independence Day.
(But then, I'm a purist.)
Well, we are off to the coast to confirm (hopefully) that there has been no damage to speak of at our cottage.

I did not watch it last night but I agree with you about being a purist!

Thinking of you on your trip to the cottage.

This gave me a big smile! Saturday morning cartoons rock!!!

We usually go to the lake to see fireworks but decided to stay in this time. Even though shooting off fireworks in our city is highly illegal there were LOTS of people in my neighborhood doing so. I did step out to watch and they were beautiful. The only problem, my poor Maris was frightened! I came in to tell Wayne about the pretty fireworks and he was cradling Maris and said he is staying in to comfort her. She nuzzled against him for awhile. My 2 chihuahuas were not phased! I am surprised! But my Jack Russel Terrier mix was so upset. About 30 minutes into it she settled down and did just fine for the next 3 hours they set them off and went sound asleep. On the other hand, I was jumping because I had gone to sleep only to get awaken every 10 minutes with the loud pops. :lol: Maris stayed asleep! I am glad she got use to them so fast!

I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July!

Aww, bless her heart
Glad she did much better for the rest of the night. Wayne is such a good Dad. They are all lucky to have you both! Even though we usually feel like the lucky ones

Thought I'd share my MIL's furkids, for all of us animal lovers!

This is Trissy, she has just 3 legs, but you would never know it. Such a love!!!

This is Targe (accent on the e!), he is an independent little guy, but still a doll.

This is Copper! Charming & cute little guy!!

This black & white love is Willie! He is playful & fun!! He & Copper played most of the afternoon!

And Rusty is their chihuahua! He is so sweet, but thinks the cats come around too much, he wants the attention & will let you know it

Good morning, everyone! Happy 4th to you all (even though it's a day late!) Hope you all had a great holiday. We had a great day here. I had a picnic here with my family. DH was working, but he was able to come home a little early, then we headed to my friends home for a picnic, which the kids loved, because they were able to go swimming. The day ended with doing our own fireworks and watching fireworks as well.

What is everyone's plans for today? DH is working again, so the kids and I are currently watching some Christmas movies (I'm hoping to sneak in some Hallmark too!), I'll probably take them outside here in a little bit. Later on when he gets home, we're going to cook outside, have a fire, and camp out tonight.

Tomorrow is DS's 3rd party! He won't be 3 until the 8th, but I took a three day weekend, so we'll be celebrating tomorrow. We're going to be having the party at our house - he wanted the "Cars" movie theme. It's going to be very cute. He's very excited.

I'm off to read some of the boards. Hope you all have a great day and a wonderful holiday weekend! God Bless!

My mother-in-law, Dorothy is so caring! She has rescued some of her furkids from the streets, and adopted some from the animal shelter she volunteers at. A few have even been dropped off on their land, because they know she won't turn her back on them. Just one of the reasons we get along so great!

Good Morning, Folks.

Wow!
Quick as a cat can wink its eye, the Weekend is back again.
(Boy! These weeks pass so fast. We are rushing head-long towards yet another Chrismas Season.)

The numbers:
Days to the Season: 131
Days to Christmas Day: 173

And so it comes -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 2/3 marker to the Season.
<< Just like that, Crown? >>
Just like that.


Hey! We had a nice Fourth!
The weather cooperated with no rain and lower temps and humidity.
Didn't get out to any fireworks around here but watched the TV programs.

"A Capital Fourth" was better than usual I felt, although there were still too may songs that had nothing to do with Independence Day.

See you here Monday morning and in the meantime, you have a Sensational Saturday and a reeeeeel nice Weekend, OK?

Have a safe trip. Praying there is no damage.

We are off to the farmer's market! Then taking a walk by the river. Such a beautiful morning!!

Then back home to watch more of Hallmark's CIJ

Tonight, we will grill again with our neighbors! Love holiday weekends!!

Have a wonderful day, friends!!

Enjoy the BBQ! Hope it's not too bad for Molly and Maggie - this is the worst weekend of the year for Ella. She goes and hides in the bathtub or the shower! Poor thing.
