Good morning, Christmas Countdown Frontiers!

Happy Rudolph Day! Yes, we have reached the 25th of the fourth month of the year. To our benefit, it's also on a Saturday. The day we've worked all week to experience. Hopefully that will give us all a little more time to do something Christmassy to celebrate the occasion!

We're in for quite the celebration tomorrow. Not only will we be reaching our 1/3 to Christmas Day milestone, but Crown will return to lead us through the countdown. Feels like double excitement, doesn't it? Let's take a look at the numbers...

Days to the Season: 202
Days to Christmas Day: 244

Wow-wee! Aside from such a fun day tomorrow, we're still in for a treat on Monday with the countdown reaching the 200 Days to the Christmas Season milestone, as well. It is a perfect time for our Countdown Expert to return!

The weather seems to be a little better today in Canada's Capital. Temperatures are to reach the lower double digits/50s, with some sun. It's still not quite Spring, but we will take it.

We have a few things to do today. Kim and I will be heading out shortly to do our grocery shopping for ourselves and Simon. Tonight, we will be reaping the benefits of "Poutinefest," which is taking place about a 10 minute walk from our house. There will be about 25 different poutine vendors with probably 300 different types of poutine. Delicious. Of course, we'll only try one each, but the choice will more than likely be quite difficult!

Well, we've finally made it to Saturday. Crown will be returning tonight to lead us into tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who has followed along for the week while I "took over." I had a fantastic time. It is always a real pleasure.

Have a Super Saturday, everyone!

Thank you Brent!
Have fun tonight and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

My friend (lives down the street, but closer to farmland & woods) just texted me, and she and her husband had bears come to visit them last night..yikes! I always worry about that when I walk Harlowe, or take her outside. Hope they stay in the woods and forage there!! They would be neat to see, but from a distance!

Yikes is right! My parents see them once in a while near their place in Pennsylvania. Scary! Hope they keep their distance, be safe!

Good morning, friends! How are you all doing today? I'm well! I've been up since 3:45, but I'm actually feeling well! I've already got a run and a workout in. EA couldn't sleep and had me up, then I just couldn't fall back to sleep myself. Oh well. At least it's the weekend! [emoji6]

What are your plans for today? DH is getting to plant our landscaping here in the next month or so, so we're going to head out and look at plants, stone, and such. Later on today, we have our niece's 6th birthday party, and then we're hoping to make it to church.

Hope you're all having a great day so far! Enjoy the day!

Holiday: I've been meaning to post to you - DH got me a Fitbit for my birthday and I love it!!! Hope you're loving yours!!!

Good afternoon Sugar!
My day is going well so far, hope yours is too! We're watching the Islander game this afternoon and then we're going to grill chicken and burgers for dinner. First time we'll be firing up the grill this season.
Have fun at the party, Happy Birthday to your niece!

Hello everyone.

Well, it's only 10:30 in the morning here but Kimmie is already worn out. Poor thing...she works so hard around the house and has a tough life.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon MMC!
A lovely sunny day here with an actual touch of warmth.
Went to costco and some thrift stores with mom this morning, spent to much, but found some good books.

Now I am getting some laundry done as well as giving the sourdough bread thing another try. Tonight I am going to a fund raiser dinner for Youth for Christ.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Good afternoon Star!
Enjoy the rest of the day, have fun tonight!

Sounds like an exciting game! Go Islanders!

Thank you, Harlowe & I drove to LaCrosse so I could see my mom, she's doing pretty well [emoji173]️

The game's exciting but nerve wracking! Do or die.
I'm glad to hear that your mom is doing well. Hope she's not in too much pain. Continued prayers, I hope she has a speedy recovery.
How's Harlowe doing?
