I have no doubt you enjoyed that to the fullest!

You know it!!

 

[snowflake22]

Thank you! It's going well. Beautiful day!
Gracie seems fine 'n dandy! She was trying her best to get the smoked turkey I was using to make a sandwich at lunch. LOL! And she stole 2 clothes pins right out of the bag while I was trying to hang clothes on the line. She's a fast little stinker!

That's great!

It is beautiful outside! Wish I was laying on a blanket, under a tree, reading my book!

Glad Gracie is having fun adventures, as usual!! Such a cutie!!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I thought I'd get to work on the Camaro yesterday, but then I remembered I had a city council meeting. Oh well. My 4 year term as mayor ends in December, and I've decided that I'm not going to run again. I've enjoyed the last 12 years on the council, but my family has gotten so busy that I need to focus on that. Maybe after the kids are grown...

Anyway, I have to go to the photographer's office today to see Jacob's senior pictures. They don't send proofs home anymore. Grrrr. When I was a senior, you took a quick waist-up picture with a tuxedo coat on in the lunch room. Now they have "elementals" (outdoors), "formals" (with the tux, in a studio), and "relaxed" (regular clothes, doing anything). Jacob was also a Senior Superlative, voted Most Talented, so there's a picture for that, too. And the cost is MIND NUMBING.

I just keeping humming Christmas songs, hoping I'm not flat broke by the time it's over.

I hope y'all have a great day!

You won't regret clearing your schedule to spend more time with the family.

 

[snowflake22]

Awesome!!!

Boo!! Bummer!
I don't either, I will shoot for that this weekend!!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
I started working out again a couple of days ago and I'm feeling it, I'm so sore. I really need to stick with it so I hope I get use to it soon. Not too much going on here today, typical day of errands and chores. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

Hope the soreness goes away quickly, HMG!!!! Have a great day!!!

Good Morning MMCers! Your local substitute countdowner DYHWIH here!

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" isn't just my favorite Christmas song...it's the question of the day! Do you hear the sound of schoolbells ringing as teachers head back to school? Do you hear the hum of air conditioners ceasing in the near future as fall approaches? Do you hear the sound of the days wooshing by as we head towards the next milestone?

Well, if you didn't answer yes to at least the last one, you should try again!

It's a Milestone Eve day here at MMC!

Here are our numbers for today:

Days to the Season: 101
Days to Christmas Day: 143

Hope everyone will join us tomorrow for a major Milestone Day where we will be in DOUBLE DIGITS for the countdown AND have a Pines Open House to celebrate!!

Have a happy Milestone Eve and Tuesday, friends!

Thanks, DYHWIH!!!!! You are doing a great job filling in for Crown!!!

Good Morning MMC !

Long weekend is over, camping gear put away, time to head back to work again. Only 9 days and I leave for a week at my sisters in Vermont. I go to pick up my mom who has been there for 6 weeks.
A nice cooler morning here at only 14c (57f) supposed to rain again this afternoon.
Election time here in Canada, the longest in history. 11 weeks of mud slinging, signs, posts on FB etc etc. Not my favorite time even though necessary. Maybe I should run for Prime Minister, the job comes with a really nice house.

Have a fantastic day everyone !

Hope you have a great day too, Star!!!! Enjoy the cooler temps!!!!

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday! Not much going on here today, just work. It's a cool morning - AC is off at work & windows are open! It was chilly in the convertible this morning - had to put the windows up & turn the heat on. Lol! Not that it's THAT cold outside, but 64º in a convertible is chilly!
Tonight we are having pizza on Moms deck. Today would have been Mom & Dads 64th wedding Anniversary. Dad left us 5 months too soon to physically be here to celebrate. But celebrate we will! I think Mom is looking forward to it!
Have a great day MMC!

Heater?? I would have been in heaven!!!! Bring on the cooler temps!!! LOL!!!!

I hope you guys have a great time celebrating tonight!!! While your dad may not be there in person, I'm sure he will be there in spirit.

I hope Jacob's picture's turned out fantastic!!!!! Congratulations to him on being voted Most Talented too!!!!!

As for the price I will try to make you feel better by saying it could be worse. Just imagine if you had, had triplets like my mom!!!! LOL!!!!

Good morning MMC!

This morning my speeding walking partner and I were treated to a lightening show as we met up to do our daily walk. We speed walk everyday at 5am and this morning the sky lit up in the most spectacular way and we chatted along as usual. That was until the heavens opened up and a monsoon fell on us! We had reached our usual spot where we turn around and walk back towards home and all we could do was run. My walking partner is my ex-boyfriend's mum who is a relatively healthy 59yr old woman. She has been experiencing some issues lately with her hip but nothing to major. However when the rain come upon us like buckets she could be heard (and it cracks me up now just thinking about it) but she says "You run and leave me behind, you're so much healthier and younger than I am". I said "Debra it's not like this is war and you're sacrificing yourself on my behalf, it's rain and I'm already soaked thru to the bone so I'm not running ahead of you". All I could imagine is the pair of us caught in some war film and she's out of ammo and wounded and I have to leave her behind to survive. We had a good laugh about it but by the time I got home I had to undress at my door so that I wouldn't track water all through my house.

Tonight we are going to exercise class together I'm hoping that we able to avoid any repeats of this mornings adventures. LOL

LOL!!!!! Sounds like quite the adventure!!! Hope tonight goes a lot smoother and that neither of you are forced to abandon the other!!!!

I might just dissolve the city council and simply take over. What do you think?

YES!!!!! Perfect idea!!!!! I'll come be your top henchmen!!!

Hey buddy~
Hope those 70's reappear in the forecast.
Hope that Mom's appointment goes well, I'll be thinking of you guys.
Have a GREAT day!!

Thanks, Buddy!!!! Appreciate it!!!!

Good afternoon, friends~
Thinking of you all, and sending prayers up for those who need them.
God bless.

Good Afternoon, Buddy!!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far!!!! Prayers are headed your way too.

Hey MMC Friends....Merry Tuesday! I am just working away and getting ready to sneak out to the gym for a bit. Soccer season has officially started here so my oldest daughter is back to camp this week from 5-8.
Andre, my boxer has been having issues with his belly and vomiting a few times yesterday and once today. I boiled him some chicken and rice today and so far he has kept it down. He is acting fine so not sure what the issue is??
Have a wonderful afternoon and so excited for milestone day!

Praying for Andre. I hope his stomach feels better soon!!

Have fun at the gym, Snowflakemom!!!! Hope your daughter enjoys the soccer camp too!!!

Good Afternoon/Evening christmas friends..Had a rough night with twin b..she has been sick on and off today..So looks like another sleepless night here again..Hope everyone is having a good day so far

Praying she feels better soon, Prancer.

mgramsey! Nice to see you! Hope all is well!

Well mom's appointment went okay I guess. They are adjusting her insulin again. For some reason, her sugar levels have just been all over the place since she had the brain bleed and there is really no logical answers behind it. Days that she eats all salad she could jump up to 300 and days that she cheats she could hold steady at 115. So they aren't really sure what they are going to do if it keeps up. We go back in 2 weeks though to see if they are starting to balance out or not.

LOL! I might be a little wimpy - has to be around 80º for the convertible to be comfortable for me.

Thanks made! I hope you have a great night too!
