Good Evening FS
Beautiful pieces, you lucky girl!
Where do you buy this?

And I just LOVE the episode this morning with the tree, and the rain, and the mud, and the PJ, and the hair. Magic moment!

It could be taken right out from a movie scene, or the book I'm writing.
I like that sense of humor

Im truly sorry I had to laugh.
And it was a GOOD thing you where home girl

You saved the day, and maybe lives too!

Hahahaha it's ok that you laughed! I laugh at it too
Always great to meet another writer!!! Yay!
Good luck with your book!! MMC can be a terrible distraction when writing can't it

I bought the houses online from Notcutts. It is actually our local garden centre but they have an online shop as well. I love the houses too. I just need a bigger house to fit it all

Have a lovely evening.

P.S. Hope your daughter is recovering well after her injury.

Thank you
3 hours at the ER is finally over.
The finger was broken.

Makes me angry at the teacher throwing the ball.
He didnt even care that she was hurt, never asked her if she was okay.
Even though she was crying.
My poor girl.

Now we are grabbing some late dinner before driving home.
We are starwing!

Poor girl....I hope she heals quickly and is not in too much pain!

Merry Wednesday! Happy Pines Day!

What a morning!!! Funny story ... and it's okay to laugh so go ahead.

Early this morning some random guy turns up with a chainsaw about to cut down the tree in my front garden. The one that houses the Christmas robin that visits every year. I was dumbstruck as to what was happening at first. I ran out into the rain, still in my pajamas and fell over into the garden which is a muddy pool these days due to the heavy rains. The guy informed me that he was here to cut the tree down on the request of the owner who claims it is on their property.

After much arguing and me throwing myself in front of the tree (wet,covered in mud, twigs in hair) the guy makes a phone call only to discover he has the WRONG tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is meant o be doing the neighbour's tree two houses away!

He seemed scared at that point and made a very quick exit.

Can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!! I shudder to think what could have happened! I would have been devastated!!

Here is a photo of the robin. It's not a very clear shot but hopefully you can see him. He spends ages near the window looking in at us. He comes every year around mid autumn. He has become one of our signs that Christmas is coming.

Wow Festive that is a story!! I am so happy you stopped them from cutting it down! I love that the robin comes back every year!

Halfway through the week! Happy Pines Day!

Off to work. Husband's car is going to be finished at the shop today--about a $380 repair, which isn't really that bad for us since we saved like crazy last year--and considering what it could have been. So, that's a blessing. It's a chilly 17 degrees here this morning though! Yikes!

Hope everyone has a great day! The Christmas season may officially be over for me today, but that spirit is always in my heart!

Happy Pines DYHWIH!! Have a good day!

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! You forget how long a 5 day work week is when you haven't had one in about 3 weeks! I feel like today should be the end of the week already lol. But it's all good. I'm ready for the pines today and it should be interesting to see how the first one of 2016 turns out. It's cold here but not as cold as yesterday. Thankfully, the rest of the week appears to be at or above average temperatures again. If we can keep going back and forth all winter I'll take it over the deep freeze from last winter which was relentless. I'm gonna buy a slice of buffalo chicken pizza for lunch today. That is something to look forward to all morning! Had a couple of Christmas cookies last night. Delicious!
I hope you all have a great mid-week!

Have a good day Edge! The pizza sounds so good!

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines Day! the 1st Pines Day of the year. Woo Hoo! We have a lot of Pines Days ahead of us this year yet. (That should help with the PCB's)

My hubby was on his way to work this morning when he got a phone call telling him they had too many drivers if he wanted to take the day off. What the heck? How does that happen?? Lucky duck! So he gets to season ribs for smoking tonight & take Gracie to the groomer! That's about the only excitement around here! Ha ha!

Have a great day MMC!!!

Jealous of your husband Holiday but ribs sound really good for dinner! Happy Hump Day!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends! And Happy Pines Day!

I never have to spend time outside unless it's blistering hot or freezing cold, and last night was no exception to that rule. I had to do some "right now!" work on my sign rental business in the freezing cold wind in the dark, but I got it done around 7pm. Brrr! Then we had supper at Mrs. Hilda's. Great as usual, and she keeps her house around 90°F, so it didn't take me long to get over the cold weather LOL.

What's happening today? Who knows! One thing's for sure; it's going to happen.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Have a great day Brad!

Good Morning ... and a very cold morning it is. Took me a while to scrape all the frost off my car this morning. Hubby and I have been taking about the decorations we want to make for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are getting pallets together so when spring/summer hit we will have them to start working on new decorations. We are looking forward to this project

Bath and Body works is having a huge clearance sale. Good time to stock up on gifts for Easter and Mothers day. They will be here before you know it..

Hope everyone has a great day

Good idea Minta for Bath and Body...I will have to check it out!

Happy Pines Day, MMC!!!!!

Happy Hump Day Made...hope you have a great day!

Good Morning/Afternoon Christmas friends...Hope everyone is having a merry day so far...Its another wet and windy day here today Brrrrrrr....Thats my working day done WoooHoooo....Sitting here with a Caramel Latte in the warmth MMMmmmm...Enjoy the rest of your day Christmas friends

Enjoy the day Prancer!

snowflake, I thought of the church picture you posted the other day as drove past our church on my way to the grocery store last night. Soooo, on my way home I stopped & snapped a picture. (Not the greatest pic, but you get the idea)

This is our church a couple years ago at Christmas (so you can see the whole church)

And here is the pic I took last night:

It looked so pretty!

Love this! Thx for sharing!

Good morning MMC, Merry Pine's Day!
Not too much going on here this morning. I just fried some meatballs, cooked some Italian sausage and have a big pot of sauce simmering on the stove. Smells so good in here. Spaghetti for dinner tonight. I woke up with a headache this morning so I'm going to take it easy today. I just have to pick up a prescription at Rite Aid and work on my daily chores. I didn't sleep well last night, one of my neighbors house was broken in to yesterday. No one was home thank God. And they have a dog that wasn't harmed as well. But the back door was kicked in and some jewelry was stolen. They also stole a set of house keys, my husband helped my neighbor change all of the locks last night. It's just so scary, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Anyway, that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!
xx

Have a good day HMG....a couple of summers ago we were having break ins around our area. They were taking place during the day and it made me so nervous since I work from home. I make sure to keep all my doors locked and my dogs are crazy barkers so I know they would alert me for sure. They caught the guys...it was a few guys in their early 20's looking for drug money. They wanted anything they could pawn quickly.

Good morning, friends~
Merry Pines Day!
We have snow coming this afternoon, and it sounds like it could continue through Saturday.
My car appointment went extremely well last night! They didn't hear the noise I've been hearing, and they checked my brakes thoroughly. They're still looking decent, so they gave me a complimentary car wash, and sent me on my way. No charge on the diagnostics, either. Luck was actually on my side last night =]
Wishing you all a safe, cozy, and blessed day!

Happy Pines Day...my friend! Have a great day and be careful in the snow. Wonderful news about your car!

 

[SnowflakeMom]

Happy Hump Day! Just up to my usual schedule of working and my oldest daughter is back at school back on track so that is good! It is still chilly here but warmed up to 40 today or so. I hope we get some snow at some point! Hope you all have a great day!

Jealous of your husband Holiday but ribs sound really good for dinner! Happy Hump Day!

I'm a little jealous of him too. LOL! The ribs are actually for tomorrow night for my MIL's birthday. They have to smoke for 6 hours, so I won't have enough time after work tomorrow to get them done in time for supper. We're smoking them tonight & I'll warm them in the crock pot tomorrow with a little bbq sauce. Tomorrow after work I will be smoking a boneless turkey breast - that only takes 2 1/2 hours. Should have time to get that done!!

I'm with you. I hope we get some snow too. My car thermometer said 37 when I came back from lunch. Those flurries we saw the other day were not enough!! Have a great day!
