Thank you! We're watching some movies now.


Thank you! It's not so bad now that we're watching some movies. If it's still going on at night, we'll run the air conditioner. I have some earplugs, too.


Thank you! We went to the Christmas Tree Shop today, and they are starting to close out their summer/beach-themed stuff and starting to bring in the fall-themed stuff.

I have seen that store here but never went. At first I thought they had Christmas trees and decor all year but heard different. I do need to check it out now that the fall season goodies are in!

Enjoy your movies!!!

How's your Saturday? Going by too fast?
Great summer weather today---mid- to high 70s, partly cloudy.
Someone's having a birthday party in the neighborhood---I'm not used to noise around here! (How do I know it's a birthday party? A very loud rendition of "Happy Birthday"!)
I think I'll get a glass of iced tea and rip some CDs into my digital music archive.

It's been a very nice day so far, hope yours is too!
Have a nice night MerryCarey!

Snow-in-Texas and I went out today and saw a lot of fall decor. Is anyone else seeing a lot of it as well? The cooler weather will be here soon! I did post a few pictures of what we saw in the Autumn section.

I hope you all are having a great Saturday!

I'm starting to see more and more Fall decor, it's so exciting! Hope you're having a great Saturday too CAH!
 
Good evening, MMC!

Praying that this finds everyone well. Long, humid day out and about doing errands. Forgot to take my library books with me to return so I ended up going inside the library to renew them and decided to visit the used book sale. Lots of fun browsing the stacks and I ended up finding a few goodies for the store and a Christmas cookbook for me.

Chores await. Have a MERRY evening!

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 have marked Nov. 13th on my calendar to save the date! I have a few Christmas items, cards, gift wrap, but not much Scotch tape - better get some. I usually hear, "security scan aisle 13" when I'm sniffing the tape to grab that scent of pine needles.
Hope you get the Bambina over to Nana's so you two can have a little time to yourselves and to visit Hobby Lobby.

25 vacation days! Compared to mine, that's very generous.
I'm glad you chose to spend some of your vacation time with us! We'll miss you if we see less of you.

No worries, too many workmates have wound up on FB as "friends" so I'm spending less time there because I see many of them regularly - FB is for the relatives and friends I don't have as much personal contact with and to keep up with the gals who are off enjoying their "motherhood" for the first or second time that way I can see the sweet baby photos.
I'd rather spend time here with the merry folk.

Hope you'll enjoy your reunion!
I had a similar "small world" experience once, at a Denny's in my home state. The waitress recognized me, but I didn't know her until she introduced herself. It turned out she was a girl who had made my elementary school life hell over several years. I guess she turned out all right, but I was privately elated (shame on me) that she was divorced and waitressing in a Denny's, while I had a steady full-time professional job and a very happy marriage.

I had one of those (shame on me) moments when I ran into an old boyfriend from High School. My story is way better than his, plus he's bald (not that there's anything wrong with being bald, but you should've seen the shaggy mop he had in HS).

Then there was the time that I ran into a girl that annoyed me in HS and it brought back memories of how rude she was to my friends. We were both in the "Wiz-kid Row" in English and quite a few of my friends were in "barely passing" and "no man's land". She was a snob; she insulted their intelligence and so I did the only thing a could, I worked hard and took the seat in front of her by Christmas and by the end of the year I was 2 seats ahead of her. (Hmmm still a tad irked about that situation I guess, but I was polite when I bumped into her.

Two years ago, I ran into the sister of my first serious boyfriend when I was living in Toronto and I couldn't remember his name until I was chatting with another friend out front of the concert hall before I headed for the streetcar. I was thinking of marrying him and I couldn't even remember his name for 10 whole minutes.

Glad the way things turned out because I'm treated like royalty around here (well not by the cat); my husband and I are best friends and although people find it hard to believe, we've never had a heated argument or a fight after all these years. Caring, respect and gentle honesty has kept us well.
