Man, I can't believe we are under 100 days until the season....whose in for the countdown that night? I can't wait. That is one of my favorite times of the year here! I'm getting so excited. We have been planning Bambina's bday and talking about Christmas for the girls. Such an exciting time.

Have y'all started doing any Christmas related stuff? Bambina might have her first sleep over at her Nana's house, so I'm going to try to talk Doc into going to Hobby Lobby and looking at what they have out. She might not want to, but I sure am hopeful

Y'all have a great day!

I was just going to text you! Let me start by saying ...She did have a few good hours last night, even saw her tail wag a few times.
But then she had a few rough hours, as well. She seems to get pretty upset after the ointment. But there is no bad reaction around the wound area, and the vet says it's not supposed to hurt or burn. I think she is just very sensitive, and feels vulnerable right now because it is quite large and that area is exposed. We are giving her a lot of love and attention though-hopefully the antibiotics will kick in quickly.
Thank you so much for asking!

I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly. You're an awesome mama, I'm sure she'll heal quickly.
Maggie is hyper sensitive when it comes to certain things too, makes the situation even more stressful!
Continued prayers for all of you!

Sounds wonderful!
I need to pick up some of those wax melts. I'm afraid to burn my regular candles with all of these cats running around!

I love real candles, but I love that these don't make a mess too.

And I can understand about your sweeties!
That would make me nervous, too.

Good afternoon, friends~
Thinking of you!
Hope you're having a lovely Saturday so far!

Good evening Sugar!
My day went well, hope yours did too. I picked up a new book by one of my favorite authors, Karen Kingsbury. She's a Christian fiction author and I just love everything she writes!



Have a nice night Sugar!
Keeping Ella, you & your family in my prayers.

Hope you love the book!

Thank you! I continue to pray for you as well! (((hugs)))

Good evening,

Another day down,one more before my next day off. Sunday we have my family reunion to go to, the 134th annual, so we get to see a lot of family we haven't seen since my grandmother passed away last August. I am 5 working days until vacation, this one I am taking just to use up my remaining days for this year. I can't wait, but I was just on vacation not even 3 weeks ago so it doesn't hold the same excitement as the other one I had anticipated for months for, but it is a week away from the fun-house, that's all that matters.
We went to Friendly's for sundaes after dinner, and I was paying with a card, and the waitress asked for my ID, I showed her and she said "Oh my." She said "do you remember me?"
I said no.
She said she was so and so.
I said oh my god.
I had grown up with her as a child, our families use to vacation together. She still has pictures of us as kids. I could not believe it. Such a small world.
I hope you all had a great day.

Goodnight, everyone.

Wow! Small world is right! Hope your work day is going well today and hope your family reunion goes well tomorrow!

Thank you Bradmac! ♥
Hope everything is fine with you all!!


Thank you HMG ♥
I guess your having a longer Summer vacation than we have.
The kids have two months in Summer.
(And one week in October, 16 days at Christmas, one week in February and one week at Easter)


Thank you Sugar ♥
All is well here, hope all is well with you and yours too!


Thank you! ♥
Have a great day!

Glad to hear all is well! All is going pretty well here, thanks!

Good morning, MMCers! And a Merry Saturday to you!

The very first signs of fall are all around us. A few leaves on some of the trees are turning light red on their way to being the color of Rudolph's nose on Christmas Eve. The fall decor is blooming in the stores like Christmas will be in less than a month (and in some cases already is!). My excitement is growing like the Christmas trees in the farm just waiting to be cut and put up in someone's home. And our countdown is shrinking like the temperatures will be in just a few months.

How do I count thee, Christmas?
-Yesterday, it was 20 weeks to Christmas Day! This means we are in the TEENS in that Countdown now.
-Our numbers stand as follows:
Days to the Season: 97
Days to Christmas Day: 139
-Our next milestone is just 6 days away...the 3/4 mark to the season!

And, most importantly, our favorite countdown counter Crown84 is coming home from vacation TODAY! It's been an honor to serve as a countdown elf while he's been away. Thanks for allowing me the privilege!

Signing off,
DYHWIH, the Substitute Christmas Countdown Elf

Thank you for serving up, DoYouHearWhatIHear! You did a great job! Hope you're having a great day!

Good Morning MMC !!!
Last weekend before vacation, time has just flown by !
I have a few things to get done before leaving, most of it baking for VBS next week.
The cake is baked yesterday so want to get it decorated today.
Also have to go to my brothers place and get his roof top carrier put on my van for the trip. I think he plans to buy a lot of stuff while we are there.
Until then I am going to make some breakfast and relax.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Good afternoon, Star! Hope you're getting everything done today that you want! Hope you're having a great day!

Well, it was a tad chilly here this morning, I love it when the nights are cool and it warms up in the afternoon.

My holidays are coming to a close.

I have 2 long weekends to look forward to, but other than that, I haven't booked any time off until the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
I get 25 vacation days, plus STATS so I enjoy spreading out my vacation time to last the year with plenty of breaks.

I'm happy to report that this vacation afforded me the opportunity to be very active here at MMC with minimal activity on FB.
Not sure where the evenings will take me in the coming weeks, but I trust that I'll be swinging by this merry way more regularly as we climb that merry ladder awaiting the arrival of another Christmas.

Stay Jolly!

Good afternoon, AMD! I've enjoyed your presence here and hope you'll be stop by as often as you can! Hope you're having a great day!

Good Saturday morning MMC!

I've been dreading this day all week because of all the cleaning I'll be doing. Not in my home but the home of my neighbor's. I clean her home once a month while she and her husband
are at their beach house for the weekend. I also clean her elderly father's home too and even though his home is larger than hers its easier to clean. Once I'm done with cleaning I plan to make a dinner of salmon cakes, mashed potatoes and asparagus for the girls and I. I also have to make a side dish for the farewell dinner our church is holding tomorrow for two congregation families who are relocating. While I want to attend I'm sort of regretting signing up for go with a everything we have to do before our morning flight out Monday to Florida. But I'm a woman who stands by her commitments, if I've said yes then I'm gonna do my best to keep my word.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Good afternoon, Ladybugkisses! Hope all the cleaning and baking is going well; hope the day is going well too!

Good morning!
Happy Saturday!
It's going to be mostly cloudy today but the showers are going to stay south of us so I'm happy about that. I'm heading out soon to get my food shopping over with. Not too much else going on here today. My husband and the girls all have to work for a few hours so I may do some shopping this afternoon. Hopefully we'll all meet up for dinner, I plan on grilling chicken and ribs tonight. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, HMG! Hope you're all able to meet for dinner tonight! It sounds delicious as usual! Hope you're having a great day too!

 

[sugar142286]

You're welcome!!
Glad that she had such a beautiful day!
I will begin decorating in a few weeks, full force. I am slowly putting a couple things out along the way, too
I have primitive pumpkins out year round, and harvest prints too. I've ordered some decorations, and as they come in a lot of them are going up. Just because I'm too excited not to!

xx

Speaking of decorations, I just got a magazine in the mail called KP Creek Gifts - I think it's stuff you would really like - stuff reasonably priced too! Check them out!
