Christmas Countdown - 2015

Thanks everyone. I will be sure to take and post lots of pictures. The land is over an 1/2 acre and they currently have a horse pad and a few horses on site. Next spring we plan on converting part of that horse pad into an orchard and garden. We have plans to purchase at least 6 apple trees (3 different kinds) 3 peach trees, 3 blueberry bushes, along with concorde grapes and a whole lot of veggies.

Sounds great!!!

Hey DoubleA! Happy part 2!



You too prancer! Enjoy!



SO happy for you Minta!! Wonderful news! Thinking of you as you pack!



Good to see you--hope that he continues to heal well. Have a great day!



Thanks Crown!!



So sorry! Hope he feels better soon!



I have to be gluten and dairy free--so I definitely understand! I always bring my own food! I'm getting ready to work a few hours this afternoon and then back to the crazy work schedule for this week again. Almost done though, and then it will be September!!! Hope you have a good time!

Thanks, DYHWIH! Hopefully by the second week of September or so, it will get better! Thinking of you too!

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!

Good morning MMC!

Back to work this morning for my first full week since going out on vacation two weeks ago and I'm trying to be okay with it, lol.

Snowflake, such good news regarding your FIL, i truly hope that's the last time he sees the hospital for a while. Good news about your car too. Things are starting off good for you this week, let's pray it stays that way.

Everyone have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, Ladybugkisses! Hope your day is going well!

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! Very exicitng!

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.

Enjoy your day off!

How are you?
Hope all is well! (((Hugs)))

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!)

Good afternoon, CAH! Happy Birthday to your granddaughter!

Just came inside from running a few errands here on campus and let me say...it is gorgeous out! So much so I didn't want to come back to the office.

What's the weather like where you are?

What's the weather like where you are?

It is very windy & 57 degrees! Wish I was at home in front of the fireplace with an apple cider, cozy blanket, and watching a movie!

Enjoy your beautiful weather, too!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a busy weekend! I worked all day Saturday on my part-time business, then we went to mom's for lunch after church yesterday. The preacher and his family came out, too. While we were eating, the preacher and I were talking about how much better Christian movies are these days. I told him that one in particular, Facing The Giants, made by a local church, really made a difference in my life. After lunch, we went to the den to stretch out in front of the TV...and Facing The Giants came on! It seemed like a sign to me!

Everyone is back to their routines today. I have to go take a physical this afternoon. I'd rather be shot LOL.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like you had a great weekend, Brad! Hope you're having a great day!

 

[sugar142286]

Thank you!
Actually, I have today off, then back to work tomorrow. Mr. Is booked to help me out at the office for the next two weeks---we're expecting long hours and work into the evenings. So this week is a four-day week for me, but it will probably be more than a full week hours-wise!

Hope you're enjoying the day off!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks Meceka! Prayers are always appreciated! I'm glad things are going well for you! Gracie seems to be doing fine!! I guess we take it day by day & pray she continues to do well! She's such a (ornery) sweetie!
My niece is looking for someone to snuggle with baby Kate Thursday morning so she can go with her oldest to his school open house. I wish I didn't have to work that day, I would love that job. LOL!
Here is a picture of Kate with her siblings...you can tell by the look on Addy's face what she thinks of her new baby sister.

So cute!

Merry Monday all,

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and ready for the week ahead.

It's mum's last week

We just finished watching Nine Live of Christmas. I recorded it last year but never got around to watching it. Thought it would be nice to watch a Christmas film with mum as it's not something we get to do.

Have a great day everyone.

Merry Monday to you, Festive! Hope you and your mum get to enjoy this week to the fullest! I'll be thinking of you!

 

[sugar142286]

A very merry Monday to everyone! It is afternoon here already and I should get busy preparing the classes I have to teach tomorrow. But I couldn't do it before smelling just a bit of Christmas spirit on here.

Hope you're having a great day, Coen! Hope your classes go well for you tomorrow!

 

[sugar142286]

Hello everyone. Kids are already missing school today...out with strep throat! So, I'm home too.
I hope you all have a great day!

Sorry to hear your kids are sick, Ryan. I hope they feel better soon!
