[Irishsnow]

Good evening, friend!
Hope you're doing well!

Hi Snowflake

Hope your well. Put my back out last weekend so have been resting all week. Haven't even made it on here lol

Feeling much better now and back on my feet again.

Hope you've had a great weekend?

Hi MMCers....a restful Sunday for me so far. Never seems to be a long enough weekend for me to catch up on my cleaning and sleep too! This weekend, rest won out. Felt very good! Now I'm starting to prep for the week ahead. Should be a routine but steady week at work, and a good weekend next weekend at home!

Hope everyone has a good rest of their Sunday and is ready for a good week ahead! At least there's a Milestone Day--AND QVC later in the week!!

There really never is enough time!
Glad that you were able to get plenty of rest in this weekend!
Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Have you seen it yet? Signs of our favourite time of the year are slowly popping up everywhere! I hope you've been keeping a close watch. Experiencing such a sight brings a feeling like no other... and it happens every year! Soon, we won't have to look far to see Christmas everywhere!

Thankfully, we have the countdown to tell us just how long we have to wait. Let's take a look and see where we're at today!:
Days to the Season: 54
Days to Christmas Day: 96

If that does not sound close enough for you, we are now UNDER a week away from the 3/4 Milestone Marker to Christmas Day. FIVE days away, to be exactly. It is yet another reason to circle a Friday on your calendars!

It was a chilly evening last night. The winds howled slightly as I walked home from a friend's house. It seemed as if the temperature dropped 20c (or about 36f) from the daytime high. Brr!

Not much has changed for this morning. It is currently 11c/52f. Highs in Canada's Capital are to only reach 18c/64f. It may be a late beginning this year, but Autumn, will indeed be here on Wednesday!

Let's all hope that Crown has a safe trip to check on his cottage. Hopefully the weather is a little warmer on the coast then all the way up here in Ottawa!

Well, folks, I must go and watch Kim's nephews football game for the third week in a row. It's fun to see the little guys play! And, right, now, they are 4-0! Hopefully have as much fun today as they did last week. What a game!

With that, I hope you all enjoy yourselves today. Hopefully Christmas is inching closer to you by the second! Have a Super Sunday, everyone!!

Thanks for the update!

Good evening,

Very traumatic day, a woman collapsed at work today while she was shopping, I walked out of the back and saw her laying on the floor. I called the emergency code , the assistant manager came over and started performing cpr immediately. 911 was called, the man performing cpr revived her twice, and the emt's revived her once. It was the worst and scariest thing I have ever seen. The worst part was other shoppers were yelling and swearing at the employees for closing off that area, they "needed" stuff in that area for their shopping lists. It was sickening what these people were saying while a woman lay there possibly dying. Good news is the last we heard the woman was alert at the hospital.
Other employees went home early, as lots of nerves were frayed, I am still quite shaken.

Just need to relax and calm down.

Goodnight, everyone.

So glad she's okay! Horrible how some people acted though!

Enjoy your coffee and relaxing morning!
Hope that you & your husband have fun today!
I need to pick up some more mums, mine aren't doing so well, with the hot weather we had. Darn beetles have found them, as well.
Hope you & your family have a wonderful day!!
xx

Thanks Snowflake!
My mums never do well, I always end up having to replace them. I do not have a green thumb! We never made it to the garden center, I'll have to go during the week some time to pick them up. My BIL ended up inviting my husband to the Yankees vs Mets game so I've been enjoying some alone time.
I hope your day is going well! ♥

I think they would do better if they were planted in the ground, but right now I just have my deck to put them on.
Hope yours last longer than mine! ;-)
Hope your husband and brother-in-law are having fun at the game!
And I hope you've been enjoying your me time
I am just on my way back home from my in-laws, Ken seemed to be doing okay, but still so different from the last time I saw him. It makes me very sad for Adrian, especially.
But it was definitely good to be with family today~

I keep the mums potted as well, I like to place them on my front steps.

I've been thinking about you guys. I know how difficult it must be to not know exactly what's going on with Ken. My heart goes out to all of you. Continued healing prayers for Ken. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.
I hope you have a relaxing evening. ♥

The squirrels in our backyard chatter so loud that we can hear them when we have the windows open! How about yours?

Oh yes! Especially when cats are around!

When I was 10 years old, we were returning by ferryboat from the Toronto Island on summer visit with relatives. While we were in line my mom had offered some Kleenex to a student with a bloody nose. On the way back to the mainland, my mom fainted and they moved her to the bow of the ship for air. A crowd was gathering at the second deck stairs and I heard a child ask, "what happened?" and the teacher (it was a school group or day camp) said, "Some lady fell off the upper deck." I turned around and scowled at him and shouted, "She's not some lady, she's my mom and she gave you tissues, stupid man." That's when I came out of my shyness. Thankfully, my dad was beside my mother and my brothers and I were peering with concern through the closed gate worried sick about her. She never heard about my reaction until she read my story the following September about my "Summer Vacation". We talked about it a few years ago. I was not one to disrespect adults, but he really angered me because he didn't recognize her as the kind person who had helped one of his students. AND she didn't fall off the deck. Turns out she had heat stroke.

That is scary! Glad she ended up being okay!

Well, I got back this afternoon. There wasn't too much to do at the cottage other than cutting brush.
We have a good rental clientele who come back year after year and take good care of the place.

Thanks, Brent, for once again taking the reins and guiding us forward in the count!

And good news for all (and especially Brent, our biggest Blossoms supporter).
Sure enough, the Neuse Sport Shop (about half way from Raleigh to the beach) did indeed have their Christmas merchandise out and I have now secured three nice photos with which to open the Blossoms thread!
The only issue now is when to open it. These things must be done delicately or you'll hurt the spell.....er.....spirit.
