Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Friday morning everyone! Yes FRIDAY. Who doesn't love Friday (well I guess those who work on the weekend might not). I'm looking forward to this first weekend of October. It should be a good one. I'm going to get Wendy's for dinner. Yes not quite a steak fancy dinner but I'm a simple kind of guy. I always say I'd rather have 2 slices of pizza any day over some expensive fancy restaurant meal. I guess that's why I'm single lol. It is currently 50 degrees with some light rain here in the suburbs of NY.
I hope you all have a great Friday. The anticipation on Friday is kind of like the anticipation those last few days before Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. It's exciting. Although, I do like my job and feel fortunate for what I have. It's still always the most fun on the weekend.
Talk to you guys later.

Happy Friday, Edge!!
I feel the same way, I enjoy my work and feel very fortunate, but I love my weekends!
Have a great day~

Good morning everyone, Happy Friday!
We're expecting lots of rain today, heavy at times with gusty winds. Cooler temperatures as well, we will only be in the 50's today.
Typical day of errands and chores. I need to work on a menu plan and grocery list as well, think I'll look up some new recipes. I'm so upset that my butcher never re-opened after they had the fire. I pass by every once in a while and it doesn't even look like they started any work. Not sure what's going on, maybe it takes a long time to get money from the insurance company. I was really hoping he would be open before the holidays, I've been getting fresh turkeys from him for over twenty years. Anyway, that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Stay safe, cozy, and dry today friend!
Hope that your errands & chores go well today.
Fingers crossed that your butcher will rebuild and reopen soon.
Have a happy Friday!
xx

Good Morning MMC !!!
Friday already and also into October, wow...soon we are going to be into the start of the Christmas season, so exciting. !!

I so miss getting to be here more often, but know you are all often in my thoughts and prayers. I at least read through posts when I can so I at least get to keep up with the news. .

Work today and I think the weekend off, will know when I see the schedule later today.

One week till thanksgiving, just have to pick up the turkey yet, but with turkey price wars going on in town that will be fairly cheap !

Have a fantastically wonderfully Christmassy day everyone !

Happy Friday, CS~
Have a great day, and enjoy your weekend!

Morning and a happy Friday to one and all. I hope everyone has some great plans for the weekend or at least some relaxation planned.

Merry Friday, 'Tis!!
How is Jonah?
Hope you & your family have a fabulous weekend!!

Good Morning Christmas Friends!

I got busy making Christmas ornaments a couple of days ago and a fall banner all made from a burlap bag I got from the Feed Store for $1.89. I made 5 ornaments and one banner and still have some fabric leftover. Hoping to get more made today.

I sure miss keeping up on the post on here. If I miss a day on here it's hard to catch up. Hoping everyone is well! Will try to go back and read a little before I have to log off and get things done around here.

Have a wonderful night! Eat some pizza and hug Gracie for me, too!

I did all three of those things!! Except I'm not sure how "wonderful" the movie was. It has 2 different endings & we couldn't get moms dvr remote to work to watch the "happily ever after" ending. We watched the theatrical ending & it was so sad! I watched the other ending when I got home & it was much more Hallmark like! I hope you had fun last night!!!

By the way, if anyone has any craft projects involving burlap, I highly recommend finding a feed store. You can get very large burlap bags for a good price. Of course check to see if your local feed store carries them first before heading to one. Craft stores charge quite a bit more for burlap!

Good Morning, Festive Friday Friends.

And as the Season approaches, it's easy to feel festive, isn't it?

Well, let's look at the numbers for today, shall we?
Days to the Season: 42 (Six weeks from today!)
Days to Christmas Day: 84 (Twelve weeks from today!)

And our next Milestone?
Well, it's the 90 percent home stretch marker and it looms just FIVE days ahead, at which point things will REALLY begin to accelerate, as we well know from past experience.


The weather?
Don't ask.
But whether you did or didn't, let me tell you it's no better. Rain, rain, and then ........ more rain. And it is supposed to continue right on through the weekend.
I can only hope there is no wind as the tree roots are saturated and many would fall. Fortunately, the hurricane track predictions have shifted far east and we can relax in that regard.
This morning has dawned (if you can even call it that) at 54 degrees with a light drizzle falling and more on the way.


Well, you try to stay dry and have a Fabulous Friday, Folks!

Good morning MMC! Happy, Happy Friday!!! YAY! Even though it's a chilly one!! We are starting off the day at 47º! I wore jeans to work today - 1st time since probably April! Booo!!
We had a good time at Moms last night, despite the ending of the movie. Pizza was delish! My niece brought our new great nephew to snuggle with. What a cutie!
My hubby took the day off work today to shell corn, so he was going to get some things done at home this morning! (Awesome!) That's about it from me!
Have a great day MMC!!

Stay safe there Crown. Hoping for that track out to sea for this storm also!

It's a dreary chilly cloudy Friday...but I'll take that over a sunny Monday any day .

Good morning
Hope everybody is doing fine?
Can't believe we are in October already!?
Next month Im going to New York!!!
Have some NY tips for me? Christmas stores? Places to eat? Must do's?
Please send me a message
And is it possible to have an American Thanksgiving dinner out
some days before Thanksgiving somewhere?
We are going home again on the 23th.
Happy FRIDAY!

How exciting!!! We went to New York last December and we have also been there in October 2011. My absolute favorite thing to do there was, Winter Village in Bryant Park. It's not too far from the Rockefeller Center. If it will be ready for the Christmas season by the time you go you will love it! They have an ice skating rink and lots of little shops and places to eat. I have a feeling there is a restaurant somewhere in New York that will be serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner since you will be going in November. Have a wonderful time and cannot wait to hear a report from you when you return!

Praying for all who are in the path of the storm!

Good evening, MMC!

Happy October 1 !!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well! Been trying to log on here for a few days now, but nothing but trouble for me with this site and this site alone. Ugh!

Other than Saturday when one of my outdoor cats, Tiggins, died, things are going good. Very busy with work and projects. I just might have bit off more than I can chew. Time will tell! Chores await. I was planning on spending a bit of time on here today, but it took over a half hour to load this one page so I won't be able to now. Hopefully the next time things will be quicker ~ miss you guys!!

Be MERRY!!!

Happy October Meceka!! I hope the problem with you logging in here are fixed quickly. Frustrating! We miss you here! I hope things calm down a little for you soon! Take care & have a great weekend!

Glad to hear you had a fun night! Which movie was this?
Happy Friday!
Thank you, we did have fun! It was a perfect fall evening!

here is our first one for this season...

3:28 PM EDT Thursday 01 October 2015
Frost Advisory
Cool air continues to settle in over Southern Ontario as an Arctic high pressure area builds over far Northeastern Ontario. Clear skies and cool conditions will prevail tonight with temperatures bottoming out close to the freezing mark near dawn. Somewhat breezy northeast winds are expected which will minimize the risk of any widespread frost. Only patchy frost is expected in sheltered or low-lying areas.
it has been chilly here and thought we had some frost this morning, but looks like it might well be here tonight

Brrrrr! Not ready for that quite yet - though I do love the 1st frost on the roof tops!! So cozy thinking of it being nice & warm inside!
