Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Happy, Happy Friday MMC! I wish every week was like this - work 3 days, get paid for 5!!
I went to see my new great niece, baby Kate last night. She's pretty sweet!! She's 3 weeks old & weighs 7 lbs 14'ish ounces....baby Gavin born yesterday weighing in at 9 lbs. 14.5 oz.... can't wait to see them next to each other!! She will be a peanut & he'll be a tank (if history repeats itself) Lol!

Have an awesome Friday gang!! I'm off to try to catch up on posts!!

Happy Friday!!
Glad you had a fun visit with Kate
Hope you have a merry day, friend!

I know, me too. And my eyes are always bigger than my stomach!

Thank you so much! We are enjoying it.
Adrian really loves Halloween, too.

I hear you! It's hard to follow it all.
A couple of our Fall / Halloween loving friends asked me to share the link once I finished decorating, so they could find it, lol.

How is Miss Gracie?

I'm glad you are enjoying it...I know I would be! I think I'll just move in to your house - you have way more fun decs than I do & then I don't have to get mine out!

Miss Gracie is good! She's acting totally normal & crazy other than she is having an issue at night - actually it's usually really early in the morning - I think she is so sound asleep & she tinkles in her sleep! I'm not sure what's going on with that! I'll have to start letting her out early, early in the morning & see if that helps. They were worried about her losing weight on this new food - well actually she has gained a couple lbs & she acts like she is starving. She eats 3 1/2 cups a day & she's always rooting for more food. There isn't much protein in this food, so I'm assuming that's why. They may have to try something different if they can! But she's a happy girl!!!
Hope Har is still doing good?

You beat me to it.

From the look of the sign, I don't think I got the entire name in, though!
I like the sign!

Good evening, friends! Started my 3 day weekend today! We're celebrating by making pizza, wings, and chicken dip for the Steelers game tonight. I hope they pound Tom Brady in to the ground!

What's new with all of you? Hope all is well with all of you guys! I continue to think of all of you daily! It was only in the 60s here today and felt so great! I've been drinking pumpkin spice lattes the pas couple days and I am hoping to get some baking in this weekend!

Woo Hoo to the three day weekend! Enjoy every minute! Hope it's great! It sounds tasty...

Good evening everyone. We had heavy rain today that caused flooding across the island. Flash floods caused drivers to abandon their cars all over the south shore, which is where I'm located. My husband and the girls all made it home safely. My poor husband had to work in the city today and it took him almost 4 hours to get there this morning and over three to get home this evening. More rain is expected tonight but it will be clearing out tomorrow. Temperatures will be a bit cooler the next couple of days too so that's good. I'm going to turn in, I'm very tired tonight. I hope everyone had a nice day, I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight!

Sorry to hear about the scary flooding!! I'm glad everyone made it home safe. I hope today is a better day!!! xx

Good evening,

We are finally getting some much needed rain, my wife and I couldn't remember the last time we had a significant rainfall. It brought some cool weather with it too. We stand at 61*f right now! AAAAHHHHH!
I have made it as far as I could tonight, I will catch up tomorrow.
Goodnight, everyone.

Enjoy the cool down!! The sign you posted w/ the lake name is ... WOW!!!

Merry Friday all,

I hope that you all have a great start to the weekend and have some fun and relaxation planned over the next couple of days. It will be a quiet one for us just staying in and I will be working for part of it.

Enjoy your day. Thinking of you all today.

Good morning lady!! Have a great day!

good mid-morning everyone!

I hope you all had a restful night. It is slightly cloudy here and the sky has this very light fall blue color, though the temps (66.3°) are still a bit high for September.

Yesterday I watched a special tv documentation about the acute refugee situation in Europe. It was on a german tv station and therefore focused on what is done in german for all the new refugees. My heart goes out to all those people, their situation is so bad and I think the public isn't as invested as they should be. Guess it still hasn't sunk in that we are privileged and should be thankful to be living in relative safe places.

My thoughts are with everyone who lost friends/family members at 09/11. I still remember where I was when I first heard what had happened (in a school room) and how shocked we all where. Even though New York is so far away from my country, everyone was just as affected as if we were living there.

On a positive side note: I spent to much money on the shipping of two DVD resp. Blu-ray seasons. Anyone remembers "Little House on the Prairie"? It's one of my favourite tv shows from my childhood. Now that they are releasing digital remastered dvds/blu-rays I have been buying the seasons as they are released. The rest of my family still watches the old german dvds, as they don't understand English well enough to watch it in the original language.

Now that the football season started I try to watch a couple seahawk games, though mostly I will only be able to watch the highlights. Can't wait for October, as then the NHL season will start (as far as I know) and I'll try to watch some of those games too. After watching the world championship this year, I took a liking to ice hockey. Ice hockey is also very big in Switzerland, but I have never watched it. That will change this season though. Our season starts tomorrow!

What a cutie! Congratulations!
Thank you! He is!


Yes we love it very much! Even our two cats are in love with the flat (even more so with the very generous balcony).

It's sad to see all the 9/11 memories on tv this morning! I agree - on that day, it seemed like NYC was 10 miles up the road. So sad!
Little House on the Prarie is on the Hallmark channel here every week day for 3 hours! It's a classic! ENJOY!
Have a great weekend!!

Good morning MMC-quick post as I run out the door for work only for a half day!!!

Day off was wonderful and day off tomorrow and Sunday has me feeling GREAT today. Weather is MUCH cooler outside and it's not done cooling off yet!! Next week is going to be much chillier...amazing. Looking forward to some good time on here this weekend and to cleaning, organizing, and getting ready for the fall season with friends coming over more often! Including tonight probably!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Enjoy the 1/2 day & the rest of your weekend!!!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Friday!!
Glad you had a fun visit with Kate
Hope you have a merry day, friend!

Thank you! And a merry day to you!

Merry Friday Snowflake!! Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Weekend Eve Dwellers!

And while you're at it, dwell on this:
Days to the Season: 63
Days to Christmas Day: 105

Next, cogitate the meaning and significance of the 2nd number.
You will find it reveals that we are but FIVE short days away from the 100-day Christmas Day Window and the start of a dual, double-digit count.
Which in turn, of course, means that we are closer to Christmas Season 2015 than you might have thought!


A bit cooler yesterday, especially in the evening after a late day rain.
Should be clear today but then, unfortunately, rainy for Saturday, the day we are driving to Charlotte to see my niece.
We show 72 rather damp degrees here in the capital city at this hour.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!


{ Hey! Any takers to do the count Sunday morning? }

Thanks Crown for the countdown! Have a happy Friday!

Thank god your family made it home safe. How big is the damage done by the flooding?

Sorry to hear about the scary flooding!! I'm glad everyone made it home safe. I hope today is a better day!!! xx

Thank you so much. The rain has stopped so thankfully the water has receded. The weather looks good for today, the sun is trying to come out.

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Flooding is scary business! I'm glad everyone is ok!

Merry Friday!! Hope you all having a great start to the day. Not too many plans for the weekend. My youngest daughter starts golf lessons tomorrow and we have a soccer game on Sunday afternoon.
Otherwise a pretty low key weekend, which is fine with me.

It is very scary. Thank you so much Brad.

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a nice morning here, but it's supposed to be in the mid-90's this afternoon. Mid-80's next week, though!

Not much happening this weekend, except for Jacob's band playing Saturday night. That should be fun. I hope to work on Jacob's hunting plot this weekend, and maybe get the trusty StealthCam on a tree. That'll be fun!

I hope y'all have a great day!
