Good Morning, Eve-of-the-Eve Awaiters.

'Tis the Eve of the Eve, alright.
Weekend Eve is tomorrow.

But this is today:
Days to the Season: 78
Days to Christmas Day: 120

Under three weeks left, you know -- until we pass through the 100-day Christmas Day Window and enter the double double-digit zone, after which things will really start to accelerate until, before you know it, we will once again be within our glorious and much coveted Christmas Season!
(Can you feel the excitement, yet?)


Still nice, albeit a bit damp yesterday, at least in the morning.
Today has dawned cloudy and at 70 degrees here.
Hopefully, a nice day will be on tap.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks!

That darn camel kept me locked up in the kitchen all day working on next weeks special. So I didn't get to catch up here. Hopefully tomorrow. I have to tell you though, you don't want to miss the Pines next week!!

Goodnight, MMC!!!

I hope you made some yummy things!!! Have a great day!
 
Good morning everyone!
Happy Thursday!
Not too much going on here today, I need to run to Target for a few things and work on some chores around the house. I'm going to take a ride with my daughter later this afternoon, she just found out she needs scrubs by Monday. She's such a peanut, I hope she doesn't have a problem finding something that fits her. And I need to squeeze a workout in at some point too. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Morning MMC!
Fall is starting to creep in and you can feel it in the air. I went for my morning run this morning wearing a short sleeved shirt and the moment i step onto my driveway i wanted to turn back around and grab a hoodie but i know once my body starts moving i will warm up and adjust but boy it took a few minutes for that to happen. After my shower i even made myself my first cup of tea in months.
It warms up to the mid 80's by the afternoon so that's nice and we usually have a Indian summer for a week or two when the temps rise just when we think summer is gone for sure.

I'm trying to make plans for us this weekend but it seems as though i can't come up with much right now. I'm taking Lizzybeth to have her hair trimmed and i may get a manicure as a special treat for myself. I'm going to attend a church banquet Saturday for those who are interested in joining the choir. I'm not the best singer but i can carry a tune and i figured joining would be another social outlet for me. I usually don't do much outside of doing things with my girls and one of my sister's and her family. My friend/co-worker has been on me for over a year telling me I'm to young to live like a hermit so I'm trying.

Anyone making plans yet for the weekend?

Good morning, Ladybugkisses!
Hope you had a nice, brisk run this morning. Happy Friday Eve!
It sounds like you have some nice plans for the weekend, I hope you enjoy your manicure & joining the choir!

Adrian and I plan to have a date night one night, and I'd like to get out my autumn and Halloween village pieces out as well.
I've slowly been moving the Fall decor out, and it's time to make bigger strides!

Hope you have a wonderful day~
 
Good Morning my Christmas Friends!

I am feeling quite accomplished. The organization in my home is getting done! The summer was so busy with the grandkids and working my regular job that I got way behind! My daughter and son-in-law have had a few days off so the grankids have been going home after school. When they go back to work I will have them after school. Right now it's just me and the critters! :)

I have another Merry Podcast to listen to while getting more done today!

I hope you all have a Merry Day!

We have "adopt a highway" and "adopt a garden" trends around these parts, I wonder how "adopt a pole" would work in your community. We've never tried it here, but I imagine there are people who would sponsor a pole and have their name dog-tagged to it in tribute. If anybody can sell the idea in your neck of the woods, it would be you!

We plan to offer that option, too. I have two poles on my property, though! No way I can buy two lights!:eek:

She is a thief - I picked tomatoes Tues night & I put them in a cooler outside & filled the cooler with water to get rid of any little black bugs before I brought them in the house. Gracie must have decided to go tomato bobbing. I had tomatoes in the driveway, in the front lawn...and Gracie had a wet face! Hmmm
I made corn on the cob & put the husks & later the cobs in a bag on the patio table to throw in the field at Moms - she got on the table & we had husks & cobs all over the back yard!
And I can't forget to mention clothes pins. She LOVES to steal them & chew on them every chance she gets! If I have the clothes pin bag on the patio table - she gets her nose right up there & I find them chewed up in the yard!.
Last night one of Jims UPS socks was laying in the middle of our tv room floor. Hmmmm!

Good morning CAH, hope you have a wonderful day!
 
Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

The car part that I won in the Ebay auction finally arrived...and it's DOA. It was supposed to be a racing shifter that ratchets through the gears, but it's obviously very old and doesn't work properly. I sent the guy a message through Ebay. Hopefully, we can come to an agreement. Rats.

At least it's Thursday!

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
