Good Morning, Friends.

One week to go.
One lone, solitary week to go.....until our next Milestone.

Days to the Season: 265
Days to Christmas Day: 307

And that Milestone is none other than the 300-day Christmas Day marker, after which both of our counts will begin with a "2". Can you believe it?
(Of course you can. Around here, it's all about believing, isn't it?)


Fantastic weather here yesterday. Temps in the low 70's, no rain, and gentle breezes. Felt more like late April than late February.
Should be cooler today and we could get a spot of rain late, then much more of the wet stuff tomorrow and Wednesday.
Right now, we show 55 here on our thermometer.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

I love math...but just tell her whatever she's dealing with isn't too bad. Calculus on the other hand...let's just not go there.

Thanks Crown. I believe in the double "2"s count!

Thank you Crown! I hope your Monday is marvelous as well.
 
Good morning MMC! "Happy" Monday!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm going to try to get caught up on here, but it looks like ya'll were quite chatty!!! :D :p

Mom is still in the hospital & will remain there through tomorrow for sure. From there - she will remain in the same room at the hospital but they will bring in a nursing home bed & give her nursing home care/rehab in that same room for a few days, since there are no openings at the nursing home! Thank God!!!! We were hoping to totally avoid the nursing home! xx (not that the hospital cozy at all....) Saturday morning my sister, myself & another lady from town here took a trip to Amishville to track down the Amish lady who was staying with my uncle up until last week when they put him in the nursing home. She was so ecstatic when we asked her if she would be interested in staying with Mom for a few weeks. She said "this is too good to be true!" :) She would visit my Mom often when she stayed with my uncle. She will be coming one week from today & will stay Monday-Friday. We are all excited for her wonderful cooking/baking...we may want her to stay forever! ;) Mom is getting stronger every day. And her attitude has improved so much after she learned she may not have to go to the nursing home & that Emma is coming so she can go home! We are getting our mom back! I even got her to crochet last night! :D

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!!! (can't believe it's Monday already!)

I'm praying for your mom, Holiday.
Have a great Monday!
 
Good morning everyone, Happy Monday. Just a quick hello from me today. My daughter is still sick, I think she's actually getting worse. I need to run to Rite Aid and the supermarket to pick up a few things for her. We're heading back to the doctor this afternoon. I'll try and pop back in at some point. I hope everyone had a nice weekend and has a great week ahead. Thoughts and prayers for all.
xx

I'm happy your mom is doing a little better and that her attitude is improving. I think that a person's attitude really can influence their health improving.

If the rest of February could be like today, it'd be easy to take: temps in the mid-40s (F) and sunshine!

I know. We really can't complain this winter after the last 2 winters. It has not been a bad winter. We've had several cold shots and a big storm...but other than that it hasn't been terrible. But I'm still looking forward to spring nonetheless :).

Continued prayers for your mum Holiday. I've been thinking about you and pleased to hear there are some positive progress.

Prayers for your daughter to get well soon HMG. My husband had a sinus infection a couple years back and it lasted ages and he also had to see the Doctor a few times. You are doing the right thing going back. Hope you all get an effective treatment and she improvesd very soon.

Our Christmas cactus has at least four buds just starting to swell! We're taking that as a good omen, as Mr. is beginning his temp contract tomorrow.

Good luck to Mister tomorrow!
I noticed some buds on my wild rose bush this morning!
