Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, My Friends.

Our next Milestone, as you must know by now, is just around the corner.
** And I do mean JUST around the corner. **
TOMORROW, in fact.
At which point we will enter the FINAL THIRD our voyage back to Christmas!

The new week numbers:
Days to the Season: 81
Days to Christmas Day: 123

(Hey! I'm feeling excited about the new week. Even if it is Monday!)


A nice decent day here yesterday, with the temps and humidity not bad for August in the South.
This should continue for the next two days with perhaps a slightly increased chance of rain.
Today has commenced at 74 degrees here in our part of the MMC Nation.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks.
See you here tomorrow morning for a ** MILESTONE DAY **!

Thanks, Crown! Looking forward to it!
Happy Monday!

What a wonderful picture!
I love to see crocheted afghans being used in a home. They really add a cozy factor! Especially when they're made by someone you love, especially for you.

I agree!!

Cute pup with a sad face =]
Hope you had a nice weekend!
Have a great Monday

I am off today so tomorrow will see the start to my work week. Checking on the hours of operation for the honeybee farm if I can get there before the rain, I'll be happy. That old country road that's supposed to be a HWY is a bumpy ride at best and slippery when wet with all the winding turns. The sun is shining right now.

This is where I'm heading and as luck would have it, they open at 10 a.m. and it's at least an hour drive away. http://boardshoneyfarm.com/ Wonder if my husband or my mom will want to come along for the drive. I haven't driven my husband's car yet and he's had it for a year. It's an older vehicle, but in great shape and it only had 56,000 km on it so it was a good deal. The gear shift is on the steering wheel and it's bigger than my car and uses more gas, but it has lots of storage room and I need it to help a friend with a move later in the week so I better get behind the wheel before then.

Enjoy your day off, AMD!
Hope you beat the rain.
Enjoy the country drive! Just what we love, friend!

It looks like they make some amazing, natural products.

Silly me, they're going to be at the Farmer's Market next Saturday so if I don't make it there today, I can still pick something up. It's actually cheaper to go to the shop on the property, but then with the gas, it might work out to the same. The question is, do I want to go for a drive today?

I'm still sitting here, but I have showered and such so I'm ready. My husband already headed out to grab a few groceries. He should be back shortly.

My brother is a BEE nut much like we are with Christmas he even changed his surname to BEE after High School.

Goodness me, what a wild night of goofy dreams and one nightmare to which my husband had to wake me and I thought he was the person attacking me so I let him have it and that woke me up. I was feeling nauseated from hot-flashes so I took a gravol and I'm guessing it prompted some wild brain activity. You know those wild dreams when you're screaming for help, calling out someone's name and they can't hear you because you lost your voice? It was one of those and I couldn't fight the three bad guys because my arm wasn't working, seems I was sleeping on top of it and must have been cutting off some circulation. Whew! Took me over 40 minutes to go back to sleep.

The dream before I woke up was much better, RadioJonD and his wife and I were fishing in a stream. I can't do the fishing thing, I talk too much. It was great seeing them even if the carp I snagged had no taste to it. I got really thirsty and I couldn't taste the RC or the water and when I woke up my throat was stuck together.
Don't think I'll be taking any gravol tonight. My dreams are weird enough without help.

Have a jolly day, I'll touch base later.

WOW! We must be twins, ha ha! I tend to have some really wild dreams and wonder why I dream what I dream. The fishing dream sounds nice, always good to hang out with those from MMC! I cannot even take the all natural melatonin you buy from the vitamin store. I have really weird dreams when I take it and I never take a full dose. I would only take a 1/4 of whatever is recommended and still affects me that way. I just quick taking it altogether and just deal with falling asleep naturally which is hard sometimes! Hope you get a better sleep tonight!

Those are some wild dreams! Hope you still managed a decent rest after you were able to fall back asleep.

I was awakened by a dying battery in a smoke detector Saturday night/Sunday morning. It was a rude awakening, and it took me a bit to get back to sleep too.

Hope you have a merry day, too!

Good Morning my Christmas Friends!

Today is my granddaughter's birthday. Guess what she got for her birthday? She gets to go back to school! Yes, her first day back is on her birthday. She doesn't seem to mind though!

The grandkids will now be coming over my house after school until their parents pick them up. Time to get my house organized while I have a little free time early in the day! I think I will also drag the rest of my Autumn decor out - I'm ready! (Even though it will be close to 100 degrees all week long!)

That's so annoying! It's like the smoke detector says, "Hey, wait until they are asleep to let them know the battery is almost dead"! Seems to happen that way to us too. The smoke detectors are plotting against us!

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Monday!

Some good news- my FIL was released from the hospital yesterday evening. We're praying that he has a smooth transition. Thank you again for your prayers.

And I got my car back!
Adrian was able to get a tip from an Acura dealer on where we could actually get the part locally. After many hoops, he got one, dropped it off to our guys, and we had an appointment scheduled for today. But, they had a cancellation yesterday and were able to fit my car in, we got a call last night that it was finished and that there was a cashier there until 10 o'clock if we wanted to pick it up. Thank God!
Things are looking up. (Knocking on wood!)

Wishing you a blessed start to your week!
