Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Holiday]

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start!

I went to the garden last night after work ~ pulled all the onions. Went home & mowed the lawn & hung laundry on the line. Started to rain, so I took laundry off the line. Sun came out, put laundry back on the line... you get the picture! Hubby came home & we had to go pick up our convertible (had it detailed) then back to the garden to pick a cooler full of corn & a cooler full of tomatoes. Then we knocked down a lot of the garden. Everything but the tomatoes & peppers. Looks like I'll be busy tonight & tomorrow night & possibly Thursday night too. Geez! Mom wants to help with the corn - we always freeze some for ... CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

I need to have Gracie to the vet at 4:00 today ~ had to catch her P this morning (TMI) & they will do a blood test this afternoon. Tomorrow after work she has an apt with the groomer to be combed out. Crazy week! I just hope & pray her tests come back good - or at least better than the last!!! I'm a little nervous about it!

Have a Terrific Tuesday MMC!!!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Nancy's mom's trip to the eye doctor was a success! They designed some glasses that will vastly improve her diabetes-diminished vision. Nancy says they aren't the most fashionable glasses she's ever seen, but if they work, so what!

I took the kids to their dance and guitar practices last night, and we got home about 9pm. We ran through the KFC drive-through for some of their grilled chicken. When we got home, though, we found that we'd been given FRIED chicken. Bummer. It really IS finger-lickin' good, even if it's not on my diet!

I hope y'all have a great day

Glad Nancy got some glasses that will work out for her!

Kids sure can keep you busy with all the activities. Sounds like they are having fun with what they are involved in!

Good morning everyone ~
I had a rough night. Maggie's cough flared up and I stayed awake with her for hours. I just called to make an appointment with her specialist and they can't take her until Friday. I'm upset that we have to wait that long. Praying she isn't as bad today. It's so stressful.
And today would have been Molly's 13th birthday. I miss her so very much.
We are expecting heavy rain today so I don't plan on doing too much. I need to go to the supermarket for a few things but I guess I'll put it off until tomorrow.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day.

Sorry that Maggie is not feeling well. I just hate when our furry babies are ill. My little Meca has not been 100% the past few days. She will be 16 in December. She is starting to eat better and getting a little energy back. If she don't improve 100% we will have to get her to the vet.

I know you miss Molly. Praying for you!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be a decent day here with a high around 80 degrees. I need to run a few errands this morning if I ever find my energy. After that it's back home to do who knows what. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

You got yourself a haul of veggies - WOW! My garden is DONE! Usually everything here has already died off by now and nothing to pick. It's just too hot for anything to survive. I need to go out there and dig up all the "fried" veggie plants.

Praying for Gracie! Keep us posted!

Happy Tuesday. We are enjoying the last few days of Ethan's summer break. Sadly, Monday we will be taking him back to college. The house will become very quiet again. August can be a depressing month. Kids have to head back to school, our son goes away, and by now we are sick of the heat and humidity. Looking forward to the 'ber months and hopefully a very cold and snowy winter.

Have a blessed day.

Coach- What a great surprise!! I'm sure they will all love it!!

It is right near North Conway, which is a beautiful Rockwellian New England village. We were up that way back in December 2008 for the Polar Express Journey to the North Pole event. That was an amazing thing to do, the face on JP was of sheer awe as we took the train to the "North Pole." (He was 3 when we went) http://www.journeytothenorthpole.org/event-info.html

That must be pure magic to a child!

So glad to hear the doc was able to help Nancy's mom. Hope she has great success with her new glasses!
Oh darn - you had to have fried chicken! Hope you enjoyed! Have a great day!

Good morning, friend! She seemed to be OK today, slept most of the time just followed me around the house and snoozed ;-) hope you have a great day, too! I'll be thinking of you guys

I'm glad Har seemed ok. Hopefully as the day goes on, she will continue to improve. Poor sweet girl!
Thank you!

So sorry to hear Maggie (and you) had a rough night. I hope you both have a better day today! Sending prayers!

I am sorry that you guys haven't had that much warm weather, I know how much you love summer. Hoping that the rest of this month doesn't disappoint

LOL! Sounds like a great plan to me! I would love a warmer fall!! (no hot, just nice weather!) I remember the year we were still picking tomatoes October 31st - it was great!

 

[Holiday]

I crack up when the weather person on TV actually uses the phrase, "cold front"! Thinking to myself, "you got to be kidding me"! I don't call 96 for the high a cold front! Ha ha!

Ha ha ~ doesn't sound like a "cold front" to me either!!

My kids start back on Friday, but at least they will still be here in the evenings. I bet it's tough to says goodbye to your boy for extended periods. Jacob starts college next year, but Georgia Southern University is only 25 miles away...lucky for us!

Enjoy the week with Ethan. I'm hoping you have a snowy winter, too...so I can visit!!

The only thing still growing in Elizabeth's garden are the tomatoes, but they're hanging in there. Oh, the weeds are doing great, too. LOL

Thinking of you all and wishing you a great Tuesday.
Trying to get my energy back after a bug. Home from work yesterday and today.

Shush!!! Remember!! I usually get the same weather that she does!!! LOL!!

Sorry that Maggie is not feeling well. I just hate when our furry babies are ill. My little Meca has not been 100% the past few days. She will be 16 in December. She is starting to eat better and getting a little energy back. If she don't improve 100% we will have to get her to the vet.

I know you miss Molly. Praying for you!

Sending up prayers for you & Meca!!! xx

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be a decent day here with a high around 80 degrees. I need to run a few errands this morning if I ever find my energy. After that it's back home to do who knows what. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

Good morning made! Enjoy the nicer weather day! Have a great day - hope you can find the energy to get some errands done!

I can believe that your veggies are fried as hot as it's been!! Hopefully you enjoyed some yummy things before they got fried!!
Thank you for the prayers. Much appreciated!!
