Good evening,

I am not feeling any better tonight, I still plan on going in to work tomorrow, don't know if I should be, but I will push my way through. LC was sick all last night, poor thing only was able to eat 3 crackers and a Popsicle for the entire day. My wife stayed home with him today.
Time to call it a night, I just realized it was 11pm. Where does time go?

Goodnight, everyone

Keeping you and LC in my thoughts, I hope you both feel better.

Good morning!
The storm passed in the middle of the night
And it was only the trampoline we lost...
Even though it was strapped to our porch
The legs just broke, so T was out last night (in the storm)
with his flashlight putting all the pieces under the porch..
I know he had do do it, but it was scary seeing him outside
when things came flying in the wind
Electricity is back, and it's a quiet morning

Thank you all for your prayers.
I was so scared driving yesterday, the weather was terrible.
And suddenly, like magic it stopped. Just like that.
It was so quiet , it was almost scary.
And T's plane landed perfectly with no wind at all.
Thank God! And thank you all for your prayers!
When we came home, the storm started up again

So scary Solice, I'm glad you guys made it home safe and sound. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Morning all and happy Saturday it's the weekend finally. Few hours in work this morning then off to a soccer match, in the snow I might add. If it's still snowing when I get home tonight I'm celebrating with some mulled wine lol. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Saturday Tis the season!
Be safe in the snow. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning, MMC!

My plans for sleeping in were for naught as I woke up before my alarm would have gone off. Since I could not fall back asleep, I ended up watching a documentary on Mary Tyler Moore and doing some research. There are several projects I should tackle today, all of which will take some time getting done. Should be a busy day!

Be safe and merry!

Good morning Meceka, Happy Saturday!
I hope you have a beautiful day!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! Last weekend of January and my tree will come down today. Sorry Holiday I know you wanted me to keep it up till Sunday but my friend is coming over to help my brother and I take it down today. It's ok. This is the latest that I ever had it up but I think going forward I will do that each year and try to keep it up through January. It's helped me out having a good month in my least favorite month of the year. It's chilly out here but nothing crazy and certainly better than last Saturday when we were hit with the blizzard. It's gonna be a nice weekend and no real football . That's a little sad. I have enough to do without football though and I woke up early this morning. I hope everyone has some fun this weekend!
Have a great Saturday and last weekend of January my MMC people.

Good morning Edge, Happy Saturday!
I think it's awesome that you've had your tree up this long. Can't believe it's almost February already!
I hope you have a great day!!!

Thanks HMG. I feel like it's helped me through the month I sometimes feel a bit down in so if it worked for me then that's a good thing. And yeah everyone around me is saying they've never felt January go this fast before. It is crazy but hope you enjoy your weekend here at the end of January!

Good Morning, Friends.

Whew! We made it to yet another weekend.

Now, we can kick back, relax and ponder the message of the latest count figures:
Days to the Season: 288
Days to Christmas Day: 330

And they mysteriously reveal to us that, incredible though it may seem, we are down to UNDER two weeks to go to our next Milestone marker, the 1/4 point to the Season.
(And now you know the whole story, believe it or not!)

Warmer yesterday. Almost comfortable, with plenty of sun and no precipitation in any form.
Today should be even nicer, although it has commenced at a chilly 31 degrees. But the sun is out and I am optimistic about a warm afternoon here in the capital city.

Have a Sensational Saturday, Everyone!

I'm glad it helped. I miss my trees the most, of all my Christmas decorations. I absolutely love the glow of those lights at night.

That's really cool. Robert Stack had an amazing presence & voice!

Yes, even in 1940. Gloria has fond memories of him. She saw him at reunions into the 1980s, and he remembered that throughout the movie his character keeps saying, "For the love of Jezebel!" She was about 14 at the time.
