Good morning everyone!

Yesterday wasn't fun. I don't take Packers losses very well, but they were absolutely awful. Oh well.

I am teaching today. To make everything even better, I actually have two periods off in a row. Plenty of time to do whatever I would like! If I had classes to teach, I would use this time to do a bunch of things, but it is pretty much just time for me to catch up on a few things.

Unfortunately, my teaching call came at 6AM this morning. It scared me! I could not get back to sleep afterwards, either. Simon was awoke and, thus, ready for breakfast, so I had to tend to him and a few other things. Oh well, I'd rather be here than working at Passport...

Today is officially the final day of summer in Ottawa. Late tonight, we will officially enter into the fall season. Obviously, it has felt like fall for a couple weeks now, but I am sure we will get hit with a few more days of "summer" weather, too, so it all should work out.

Speaking of fall, I had an incredibly beautiful drive to Russell today. About 15 minutes of the drive was filled with passing between surroundings of orange and red trees. I am really glad I got to witness that. I'd imagine it will be the same throughout the rest of this week. It's a shame that they'll like start to fall as we turn to October next Wednesday.

Speaking of "turning..." How about beginning yet another chapter of the Christmas Blossoms thread? Yep. I'd love to call this Blossoms week, but I don't want to be getting ahead of myself! All I can do is sit and wait until Crown posts trustily posts the Most Wonderful Thread of the Year!

Until then, have a great Monday, everyone! It's the final full week of September. (Almost) the beginning of a new season. So much excitement!

Good afternoon, Brent! Hope teaching is going well today!

Love the pictures!! Thanks for posting!! Looks like a fun day! It must have been the day for going to a winery... =)

Good Morning MMC !!!

Another chilly morning here.
We are doing our fall cleaning so everything is fresh and good looking for Christmas. The tree spot is picked out!
Going to pick up paint samples for the living room. Planning to do several different shades of green. (we have lots of nooks and crannies)

Hope you all have a fantastic day!!!

How exciting!!! A few of the lake neighbors came to our house yesterday to see the kitchen/new room & both girls commented about the new room being a great spot for a real Christmas tree!!! YAY!!! Have fun!!!

Glad you guys had a fabulous time, too!
I loved the flight that we sampled, and I found out about a local store that carries them. Looking forward to picking them up!

Happy First Day of Fall, y'all!

It was so warm yesterday, Elizabeth and I went swimming. Of course, it took a minute to get used to the water temperature LOL.

Jacob's gig over the weekend went well. He and his band are really starting to sound good together!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Have a great 1st day of fall Brad!

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high around 70 degrees. I have lots of running to do today. Mom has a doctor's appointment and then we have a few other places to stop off. So I will be back later this afternoon to get caught up. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

Hello everyone. I hope you all have a great day and week!

Hope you have a great day & a great week too Ryan!

I just bought a Nutcracker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were some really lovely Christmas things out today in the shop - different from the usual which is really fun! I just love Nutcrackers and I couldn't resist him at just £1.99.

Here is my brand new Nutcracker along with the pumpkin I bought a couple weeks ago. I plan on painting the pumpkin although I quite like it in it's natural state.

Love them both! Great buys!

We bought 2 candles from Bath and Body Works - Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin. They smell heavenly! I had bought it last year and enjoyed it. Strange thing is that I bought that same scented candle a few weeks ago and when I burned it there was barely any fragrance at all - I even burned it for over an hour, still nothing! I took it back and got a refund. Saturday I opened the candle to sniff and it had a very strong fragrance so I took the chance to buy it again. I told them what happened with the candle last time and they think it might have been a bad batch and reassured me, like they always do, to return it if it is not satisfactory. I have it burning now and it smells wonderful!!!

I never knew you could return a candle after burning it but I found out one time when I bought a candle from Bath and Body Works that smelled good at the store but when I burned it I was nauseated by the scent, way too sweet. I went back shopping to get a different one and told them about the one I bought that I didn't like. They insisted I bring it in for a refund. I told them I had already burned it (a short time but still lit it). They said it doesn't matter, if I don't like the smell to bring it back. The employees told me they return stuff too. Maybe that policy is in place at most stores but I just learned about it last year and it's good to know!

That's awesome! Enjoy your candles! Mmmm

xmas & HMG ~ Good luck to both of your daughters!
