Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's a rainy morning here in Central Indy but it's not a heavy rain so I don't mind. We should top out in the upper 70's later today. The other 3 days that they were showing in the 70's at the beginning of the week are now back to the mid 80's. Boo!!!!! I was looking forward to giving my A/C a break. Not to much on my agenda for today. Just need to head to the grocery store here in a bit. I may run to walmart too while I'm out. I don't really need anything from there but I could use the walking. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Be careful Made, I was in Walmart the other day with intentions on buy a few items and came out with several bags. Target and Walmart are death traps to our wallets, death traps I tell ya!
Hope the rain stops early.
Have a great day

Our grandsons went to see the Texas Rangers game last night with their basketball team. We were worried about them being in that heat since they arrived there at the hottest part of the day, around 5 pm, it was over 100 degrees at that time. It was 95 degrees at 10 pm last night! They are here now and said they had fun and managed to stay cool! Was glad to hear that! Rangers won too! Yay!

I hope you all have a Merry Day!

Good evening,

A long day off here, we spent the day cleaning out LC's room, the child is a pack rat. He saves everything, we had 4 bags of paper trash, he goes into the recycle bins and builds things out of the boxes, milk bottles, etc... We encourage his artistic whims but wow, we need to really get him to throw things away when he is done instead of saving everything.
I am up way too late again, I should get some sleep.
I hope you all had a great day.
Goodnight, everyone.

He can't throw away his works of art!! Another tear jerker commercial! Have a great day xmas!

Greetings Christmas Wackos! 99 days to the start of our official merriment in this thread!!! Wow!

Just like visiting relatives at Christmas when I was growing up, each festive homemaker had their own ideas of how things should look and feel, but the overall warmth and merriment were present everywhere we went. It's been like that in the countdown over the years and in the memories and plans we share all around this merry site. I love sharing this merry hang-out with others who don't consider my passion for Christmas to be odd at all. In fact, I think I might be a bit tame in comparison to several merry chums.

Spread your merry wings now and then and travel around the different sections of the site and YULE discover how many other things we share in common or a Christmas factoid you didn't know or a new decorating tip or a festive music link, etc.
Stay jolly y'all!

Good morning AMD!! Such a merry post! Have a wonderful day!

Good morning MMCers!

Fall is just around the corner, and we're falling today too--into the DOUBLE DIGIT portion of our countdown to the season!

Welcome to a new chapter in our countdown. Yesterday was an AWESOME day as we celebrated 100 days until the start of the Christmas season...and today's another "milestone" as well--we're now OFFICIALLY (thanks to Crown84) in the DOUBLE DIGIT part of our countdown! Wish Crown84 was here to help us celebrate it as the Officially Counter for our lovely group, but glad he's getting some good vacation time!

So, the numbers for the season stand as follows:
Days to the Season: 99
Days to Christmas Day: 141

Other reasons to be happy today include the fact that it's Thursday (Friday Eve, right snowflake22?) and the fact that temperatures here ALL next week will not hit 90!!! Our countdown may be in the 90s now but thank God our temperatures aren't for the time being in the mid-Atlantic!! Hope yours aren't, either!!

Let's find ways to celebrate our double-digit milestone today together!

Another great start to the day! Thanks DYHWIH! Have a great day!

Good morning everyone!

Still dealing with muscle aches from that crazy workout the other night but still manage to get up every am and go speed walking. I just hope I'll be back to my normal self by Monday, I can't start a long awaited vacation with my kids in pain. Any hoo...last evening my dog Buttercup was attacked by another dog as my kids and I were taking her for her evening walk. We had her leashed of course and this dog was purposely let out by the home owners 7yr old son, while they were sitting on their front porch. The screams that came from me while trying to protect my dog (who btw is a Pit Bull and reminded mummy she needs no protecting) were heard by my next door neighbor who came running to assist my kids and I. London was holding onto Buttercups leash while I had her collar with one hand while trying to pry them apart with my other but all the while not looking down to see what was going on. Finally, the owners of the dog Amber came to try to get the two of them apart and finally were able to. I was so upset I didn't want to look to see if Buttercup was hurt cuz if so I would have lost it. Well, come to find out it was the dog who attacked her who was in need of rescuing as I was told later by my neighbor who came running that Cup had Amber by the throat and was locked on her. My hand was bleeding as I had been cut trying to pry their mouths apart. Oh it was a mess. My neighbor and one of the owners of Amber walked us all home. Once we got back inside Buttercup who wasn't phased in the least was looking in her food dish for more dinner as if she had worked up an appetite. And she stuck to me like glue for the rest of the night.

My walking buddy thinks that I should file a report with animal control since this was apparently not Amber's first time attacking another dog on our street. She's attacked my neighbor's dog Hershey three times, each time while Hershey was on her own property. I may just look into it since this dog is proving herself to be very aggressive. Most would think it would be my dog who is the more aggressive one but she walks by other dogs while being walked and gets excited but nothing over the top. She never even pay Hershey no mind (I think she senses Hersh is getting along in years and feels bad for her).

I'm soooo ready for vacation!

Sorry to hear that happened to you! Scary! I'm glad you all were ok!! Have a great day!!

You've got a point. The more I think about it maybe I should call to report the incident. I just don't want to ruin my relationship with my neighbors. We all get along so well, our kids play together and we even have each other over for backyard BBQs. I don't want to be the one who called animal control but since this is happened more than once and I don't want anyone's pet getting hurt including Amber I think I should. Someone has to do what's right.

Since you are friends & you get together with them, have you tried talking to them about it before calling the cops? Stressing how important it is to keep everyone & every dog safe? I think I would start with that. Good luck!

Take photos of the things he builds and start a photo album (digital or hard copy). Then he'll have those to remember and be proud of when the things themselves have to go.

Great idea!

Good morning!
Happy Thursday!
It is going to be a beautiful day, mostly sunny, less humid with a high of 83 degrees. I plan on spending some time outside and enjoying the weather. I need to run a couple of errands first. I also have some cleaning to do. I'm holding off on the laundry because my dryer isn't working right. I'm hoping my husband can figure it out and fix it today. The laundry piles up fast in my house!
Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Enjoy your day outside!!!! I hope your hubby can fix your dryer quick! Happy Friday Eve HMG!
