Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning, everyone!

Happy 'Pines Day! It is our first of September. Woohoo! It is a beautiful one in Ottawa. Plenty of sun and clear skies. Unfortunately, I am stuck indoors without any windows. Darn passport office.

Tonight should be a busy night, I have a big game to play - it will actually be broadcast for our local cable station. We shall sew how it goes.

Kim is heading back to her hometown of Cornwall tonight. Her best friend is getting married on Saturday. Kim is the maid of honour. It should be a great time.

Well, break is over. Back to work... have I mentioned that I can't wait to get back to teaching?!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Good Morning & Happy Pines Day, Brent!!

Good luck & have fun at your game tonight~

Hope Kim has a safe trip! Congrats & best wishes to her best friend.

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be another hot and humid day here but hopefully some relief is in sight next week. Not a whole lot going on for me today. Just the same old things again. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Good evening!
The day flew by so fast! Everything went well at the preschool today. We had a staff meeting and then we spent a few hours setting up the classrooms. I have to go back in tomorrow for a meet & greet, parents can bring the little ones in to meet their teachers & drop off their supplies. And then classes begin on Thursday. It was a bit hectic for me after I got home, just trying to catch up with everything. I'm sure I'll get in to a routine quickly and it will be fine. I'm so happy I just have to do Tuesday & Thursday. That will be perfect for now. I think I'm going to really like it. Anyway, I'm feeling sleepy so I'm going to turn in soon. The weather was awful today, so hot and humid. It felt like a rainforest out there. Maybe thats why I'm so darn tired. I can't wait until we get some cooler temperatures. Anyway, I hope everyone is well and had a nice day.
Goodnight & sweet dreams!

So glad everything went well. I'm sure you'll get into a routine. Have fun at the meet & greet goes well today! Stay cool! Have a good day! Cute pic!

Morning all happy hump day.

Oh man!!! It IS hump day!!! I was thinking today was Tuesday. WAH HOO!!! Thanks for making my day! :dance: Have a good one!

Good Morning sweet Christmas Friends.......woke up to a huuge pimple on my neck.....lol.....sometimes it feels like my skin has never gotten out of puberty.....only while Kandice was on her way........my skin was clear.......any tips?.....Anyhow.......a cold and autumlike day today.....gon build up a Playmobil city in Kandice room so her Playmobil are leaving my living room.....I have no prob with her playing in the living room.....but at the moment the living room looks more like a kid´s room than her room.....lmao

LOL! Good luck moving everything! Have a good day!

Good Morning folks!!!!

I look at Wednesdays as being at the top of the hill, I always look forward to sliding down the other side of it.....

I was up and at-em early today, I was here at the office by 6am, why, no reason, just was awake, so I thought I'd get up and get an early start. And besides, if I put in extra hours during the week, I can take them as comp time on Friday, which means, I'm out of the office extra early on that day: which, I do say, is very nice~

Moving date is getting closer and closer now (T-27 days and counting down), with a couple more inspection completed, things are looking good for the house. I guess, I can say now, that it will be a fore-gone conclusion, that it will be our next home....

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.....

I'm glad inspections are going well!!! Good luck with packing & moving! Have a great day ~ nice that you can use comp time to get out early on Friday!!! =)

Good morning all!!!! Having a hard time this morning getting everyone moving Not much going on today , oldest son has a Dr appt this morning then dropping him at school and off to work.
I do need to decide what I'm cooking for supper tonight. I get tired of cooking the same things
Well off to read some more and get the kids moving. Have a great day

Hope your sons apt goes well! Good luck finding something to make for supper. Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Here in TN were in for another hot one.

Wish that snow in WY on labor day would have made it to TN

My sister/family are heading to TN this weekend for some boating, so I'm sure they are NOT wanting snow in TN yet! :lol: My nephew is there already! Have a great day xmasdreams! Stay cool!

Good Morning, Folks.

Under 2 weeks to go.
<< To what, Crown? >>
To our next Milestone marker, of course.
<< Which one is it, Crown? >>
The 100-day Christmas Day Window.
<< Wow, Crown! >>
Wow indeed.

Days to the Season: 71
Days to Christmas Day: 113

(And the numbers confirm it!)


Well, we had another quite warm and humid day yesterday but a cooling early evening breeze brings us hope for today.
(Relief might be spelled r-a-i-n however.)
Currently, we observe 73.4 degrees on our digital back door thermometer.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

And don't forget -- first 'Pines open house of the new month.
I believe the theme is "Fall - a Prequel" or something like that.
Carl was a bit mysterious.
(And with that madcap camel, you can never tell if "Fall" means "Autumn" or.....maybe something else.)
Regardless, it should be interesting and entertaining.
See you there!

Thanks Crown!!! Can't hardly wait to see what that ol Carl has in store for us!! Have a great day!

Morning All!

Well my son is back at school today and we are back into routine. More Halloween stuff was out in one of the shops! I have already seen something I want lol.

I started buying for the children's Christmas Eve goody bag! I always pick up little things here and there and this morning I bought the first! So excited about it! lol

Hey are many of you in the card exchange?? Also I was wondering do you know when the deadline is for signing up??

Have a great day! Autumn is on it's way..

Awesome about starting on the kids Christmas Eve goodie bag ~ how fun!!! Have a great day Festive!

Stay cool made! I'm not sure what they are calling for in Indy, but here it says a high of 67º for Saturday! EEK! Have a good day!

Happy Pines day MMC. Still looking for the cooler Sept weather. It is hotter now than it was in July. Saw an adult copperhead near the house yesterday evening but he got away into some rocks before I could kill him. This is the time of year we see a lot of snakes. I killed 2 copperheads in early Sept last year.

Looking forward to the weekend. Our son is coming home to see our local high school's first home football game. HS football is a big deal here. We only have 1 HS in the county. Most of the locals, that are able, go to all the games. We're the smallest school in our conference with only about 300 students in grades 9-12.

The one thing our county is famous for is the reality TV show "Moonshiners" on the Discovery Channel. "Jim Tom" is now a celebrity. Kinda funny that a dry county is now know for making moonshine. I don't care for show but a lot of folds do.

Have a blessed day.

Happy Pines Day snowflake! Have a great day!

Good Morning! I only scanned a few pages on here but saw the picture of xmas365 new family member - congrats!!!!! What a cutie!

I am absolutely struggling to wake up here so I just read a little but too tired to respond to any of the post. Someone give me.. umm errrr... just throw some hot coffee on me. That should wake me up!

Got a few things to take care of this morning, I will try to return in a little while.

Espresso??!! Hope you wake up ~ Have a great day!

Good morning!
Off to Port Huron for the day

Have fun today CS!

I "redecorated" at the office yesterday, meaning I took my "Aloha Spoken Here" sign off the wall and hung up a 3-D pumpkin, and replaced my Aloha floor mat with a fall leaves floor mat. A few people were kinda laughing at me for changing with the season, but what the heck. Maybe they were just laughing because it made them happy.

Just as I pulled into the driveway yesterday after work a heck of a storm cut loose. Even though I had an umbrella, I had to stay in the car for about ten minutes until it slacked up. Lightning, thunder, wind, and torrents of rain---there were big puddles in the yard because the earth couldn't absorb it fast enough. But it brought the humidity down a little, thank goodness. A few leaves are turning color here and there, but the temps are still in the summer range.

It sounds like your office is turning festive! How could that not make them happy! :smile: Have a great day Merry! Glad the storm yesterday waiting until you were done driving!!

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning, friend~

Stay cool! [emoji300]️

It has been very humid & hot here, too. Tomorrow will be reaching near 90 degrees, again. But then, the high for Friday is 70. Dare to dream!

Stay safe with the copperheads.
I lived near a bluff growing up, and knew which ones to look out for. They still make me a bit nervous.

Your weekend sounds wonderful! I bet you are excited to have your son home. Have fun at the game!

Have a blessed day~

EEK!!! I don't like snakes!!! Stay safe!!! Awesome that your son is coming home this weekend. HS football is huge here too! Lots of small schools, with lots of big ol farm boys playing football - not all of them are farm boys, but many are. Enjoy! I will have to check out Moonshiners! Lol! Have a great day!

I totally understand that - I sometimes don't get a chance to watch, but I just like knowing they are on - or having them on in the background!

My usual go to station is the Sounds of the Season Christmas music station, I keep that on as my background noise.

Good morning MMC! Not much going on around here today! Usually Wednesday is my slow day at work - makes for a long day! BUT at least it's Wednesday & not Tuesday as I originally thought! I was worried if Tuesday was this slow, what was Wednesday going to be like?? :lol:

My hubby picked corn from the garden last night - 2 coolers full + a 5 gallon bucket full...looks like I'll be putting up corn tonight! Oh goody! (it's worth it though!)

Hope you all are having a Happy Hump Day! See you tonight at the pines!

November 1. All the info is here.

Thanks Merry. I can't access the link but knowing it's Nov 01 is helpful. I will be sure to sort it out by then.

Snowflake I am so glad to hear you are in the exchange this year - great! Good idea about shopping lol

That would be awesome!! He said there is still another 1 1/2 rows that needs to be picked! Geesh! We got the corn out late this year ~ we weren't sure if it was going to do anything! :lol:

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a bit cooler today, and they're even forcasting a high of 90° for Friday...yay! That's practically sweater weather for us in September! And hunting season starts Saturday...yay again!

I think Nancy and I have decided to go on a weekend trip to the mountains in October for our 20th anniversary. We were married in November, but it's too busy that time of year to get away for a whole weekend.

We'll see if she's really willing to leave the kids behind for 2 whole days, though. LOL

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning,

Speaking of Music Choice, I am listening to the Sounds of the Season:Christmas In July. I recorded on my DVR back when it was originally on, I just needed some Christmas music on since there is nothing on TV right now.

I will be leaving for work in 20inutes, I don't want to go, and my job search has seemingly dried up at the moment. I will push through it, hopefully something will turn up soon.

I should probably start getting ready to head out, be back later tonight.

Have a great day!!!
