Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Evening, friends~
Have a MERRY Pines night!

 

[brent]

Good Morning, 'Pines Piner Persons.

'Pines Day indeed!
More about that below, with a warning about tonight's open house.


OK. Today's numbers......and the prelude to a shock:
Days to the Season: 51
Days to Christmas Day: 93

Nothing look shocking to you?
Well, perhaps you haven't considered this -- that we are down to just 2 days to the THREE-FOURTHS Milestone marker to Christmas Day.
(Don't know about you, but I find the speed with which this year has passed to be little short of shocking!)


Right comfortable here yesterday, with enough cloud cover to mute the sun and hold down the temps without any rain actually falling. Easy on the eyes without the glare!
This morning has begun at 67 degrees with clear conditions.


OK. Visit the 'Pines at your own risk this evening.
Today is the first day of Autumn and Carl recognizes it. A "harmless little game" is planned called "Don't Fall For It". (I believe the title contains its own warning!)
Regardless, whatever entertainment is to be presented you can rest assured of frantic fun and fantastic frivolity.
I'll take the chance and plan to attend. How about you?

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, a Happy Hump Day and a Practically
Perfect Pines Day, Everybody!

Excited for the 'Pines tonight. I think I can handle myself as to not falling for Carl's game. The only thing I can think that might get me is if Carl tells me that Crown has debuted the Christmas Blossoms thread. That would certainly make me jump for joy and run to my computer! ...It's so close!

Maybe your furnace guy has some way of adjusting the high setting so it isn't so strong? It doesn't seem right that your shiny new system can't be adjusted and is uncomfortable.

I should have phrased that better. I was referring to the old boiler not being able to go from high to low.

WOW! I just read some "exciting" news! Wright State University was chosen to host the 1st presidential debate next September. That is the university my brother Mike who passed away was the "Senior University Planner" (architecture) at. Holy Hannah he would be SO proud & excited!! (not that he was a big political man, but... still kinda cool)

Very exciting Holiday (((hugs)))

Remember to share it in the Recipes thread!

Will do!

Summer is gone and Fall is here
It's that special time of year.
There's pumpkins, colored leaves, and mums
And after that, well, Christmas comes!

There you go. It's such a great day I broke out in poetry. Have a good one, everybody!

Love it MerryBells!! Thank you!

Snowflake, I forgot to tell you I got another witch figurine at JoAnns. It was the last one. The Halloween decor is 50% off, there will be all Christmas in its place before we know it!

It is amazing how quickly those numbers are dwindling, before we know it we are going to be welcoming the season in together.

Goodnight everyone, see you in the morning!

Awesome! Glad you found one, and got a great deal, too!
I saw two aisles of Christmas there last week, one really cute area of bottlebrush trees and miniature glitter houses. Did you see those, too?! So exciting!

Good Morning! Interesting and eventful morning that is for me. Coming into the office this morning, I got into a three car accident. One of those chain reaction types, some moron in a silver SUV, was driving like a nut in a SUV and when he changed lanes, (without a single light) the traffic stopped so he had to slam on his brakes. The guy in front of me slammed on his brakes; locked them up, I slammed on my brakes; locked them up, swerved and missed him. The lady behind me slammed on her brakes; locked them up, swerved and missed me. The elderly lady behind her, driving a Hyundai Elantra, must not of have been paying attention and she slammed into the woman behind me; full force at like 45-50 mph, pushed her sideways and forward into my left rear and then the elderly lady hit my right rear. She was shaken up real bad, she got out of her car limping, her car is in awful shape, had to get it towed, she apparently just bought it last Thursday and has liability insurance on it only. The Acura MDX behind me was pretty bad, 4 years old and it had to be towed. My damage to my Toyota Sienna, is to the rear, broken light, bumper, rear door, rear quarter panels; but drive-able.

Well, I'm not upset with anyone involved in the accident, it wasn't intentional, that why they call them accidents!!! However, I would like to put my foot up the rear bumper of the idiot that was driving the silver SUV, who caused all of this mess....

Glad to hear you are okay, and the others are too. Wrecks are so scary.
