Sending prayers for your wife's health, my friend.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers for my wife. We still don't know much. They are doing more blood test. If it is Lupus, the Dr doesn't feel it is severe at this point.

Good evening!
Long and busy day, seems to be the norm lately. I finally finished working on my menu plan & grocery list for Thanksgiving. My parents will not be with us this year, they'll be in Florida. I'm kind of upset about it, it's going to be the first time we've ever been apart on Thanksgiving. But I'm happy that my oldest brother & his family will be with us and my other brother will be joining us as well. Oh and I also just found out that the outlets will be opening at 6:00pm on Thanksgiving day, I'm really angry about that. My girls should get their hours soon, I'm sure I'll have smoke coming out of my ears when I find out what their shifts are! I worked on my Christmas lists this evening too and I'm ready to get some shopping done. I'll probably do a little tomorrow since I'm off. Anyway, I'm really tired so I'm going to turn in. I hope everyone had a great day. Enjoy the rest of the evening. Goodnight!

Sorry to hear that your parents will be away over Thanksgiving.
That is so wrong about the outlets, too.
(((Hugs)))
Hope you have fun shopping today! Good luck!
Happy Friday! TGIF

Good evening,



I just watched the Bengals play a real stinker, at least the Bruins won tonight. That game took precedence for me anyway, I watched that until it was over before switching to the Bengals vs Browns. cheesy



Long day at work, 2 more days until a day off. I did find my door wrap at Lowe's today, I also bought 3 100ct white light strands, 2 more boxes of replacement bubble lights, and a new Christmas CD (A Christmas Gift To You, From Phil Spector of course Darlene Love is one of the featured stars of the CD)



Maybe now that I got my door wrap, I will start decorating after work tomorrow.





I should head to bed to get some sleep.





Good night, everyone.

Congrats to your Bruins!
Nice finds at Lowe's!! Enjoy the CD! [emoji445][emoji319]
Hope you have a great day, friend~

Another great advertisement! I really loved the one with the snowman crossing the country to get a present for his wife, too.

Yes that was a really good one. I really liked last year with the bear and the hare too!

Happy Thursday everyone. Rainy morning here. I'm happy about the weather forecast we heard this morning. A chance of an inch of snow tonight then a slight warm up through Tuesday before a strong cold front with some snow and highs in the upper 20s/low 30's Wed-Sat. That is my kinda weather.

Taking the wife to a Dr appointment this afternoon. Her local Dr feels she may have Lupus so we are going to a specialist. It is a 2 hr drive. Our local health care is lacking. This is a great place to live but a bad place to be sick.

Have a blessed day.

Prayers for you all. I hope things go positively at the doctor. Look after yourselves Mgramsey.

Thanks for the link Festive. I'm waiting till I have a spare ten minutes and a hot chocolate before I watch it.

Hope you got that 10 mins Tis

Can't watch it until I get home from work ... Is this a U.K. tradition? Is John Lewis a retailer?

They are a leading department store chain here. Well yes I guess their ads have become tradition. They are known for having really thoughtful, moving Christmas ads so people are excited about what they come up with every year.

Fingers crossed the girls have shifts that will not be crush your plans. Sorry your parents won't make it this year. I hope you will still have a memorable time with the rest of your family. Happy planning!

I have a few errands to run in the morning but after that it will be a day at home just relaxing and watching some TV/movies and baking with the kids. Mr Festive and I will also spend some time planning Christmas.

What are you all up to??

That sounds really nice, Sam.

Adrian is putting up the tree (light issues right now, ahhh!) so I plan to decorate it over the weekend. His boss has a few shows about three hours away, so he will be going to work them, and stopping to see Dorothy along the way. Hopefully the snow isn't too strong, while he is traveling.

On Sunday, we will spend some quality time together.

Good Morning, My Friends.

Back from the beach (not needing the extra day) and it's a good thing I scheduled a heater service there as the heating coils were found to be badly rusted out. Our winter tenants would have had no heat!
(It pays to check these things.)

OK!
Many thanks to Brad for seeing us to the one week mark to the Season.

(Can that even be possible?)

Let's check the numbers:
Days to the Season: 6 (LESS THAN A WEEK, NOW!!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 20 (Under 3 weeks remain!)
Days to Christmas Day: 48 (Below 7 weeks, now!)

The days are disappearing faster than Binger's coffee.

Well.......almost, anyway.


Nice and pleasant at the coast. Not too hot. Not too cold.
Got back just in time to hear the news that a cold front is moving in.
(Always glad to be back home when that is predicted.)
We have started off this Weekend Eve at 44 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks.
And may your Weekend start off beautifully this afternoon!
