Christmas Countdown - 2016

[NcGunny]

Happy Weds to everyone. Weather looks better today here. All caught up on my sleep and wondering what I will do the rest of the week..Star Wars or LOTR marathon maybe.

Merry morning, Festive! Thank you ~ lunch was nice, the library had the books I wanted in and the package was at the post office.
xx


Good morning, Holiday! That is a happy plant! Have a Merry day!
xx

YAY for the books being there & a nice lunch with your cousin!
Thank you - I love that happy little plant!

Wow, what a big garden! Too cold to plant here ~ it was freezing last night. Not to mention all the wildlife hanging around of late. Busy place! Good luck with your garden!



Mine hasn't come up yet. This is the year the first cuttings can be done so I have been searching for the shoots just about every day.

We do have a pretty good size garden. It use to be bigger but grass keeps taking over more of it. My hubby edges it every so many years to get rid of it. It's time again!

Your asparagus should be coming up any day. xx I had to cut more last night. Mmmmmm

Have a wonderful day!

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Back to the Pines we go! We're just going round and round these weeks so fast. The last few days of April are coming up already. Yikes. Yesterday one minute it was 9AM at work and the next it was 3:30PM. I got so busy on this one project it was like a total blur. Well back to work today and hopefully I can get some of my own work done cause there's stuff I need to do today. I also will go to the Chinese buffet tonight. Something to look forward to.
Have a great hump day and Pines day everyone!

Hope you get to do some of your own work today!! Enjoy the Chinese buffet tonight!

 

[Holiday]

Halfway to the shops I realise I haven't got my purse. Yep it's that kind of day so far.


Catch up with you all later. Heading out again!!!

Oh, I have done that too many times. Get all the way to the store & no purse. Ahhhhhhh.... Hope your day gets better!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Pines Day!! I am just working and my daughter has a softball game tonight at 5:30 so we will do that and I think we are having pizza for dinner...I hope you all have a great day!!

Have a great day. Enjoy the pizza!

 

[Holiday]

Hello everyone. It has been too busy recently! I think today is going to be calm, thankfully.
Severe weather threatened us again last night, but thankfully just heavy rain and small hail. The tornadoes stayed away. Our chances are higher Friday and we have a lot of nervous kids around here. I'm praying it stays away!
I hope you all have a great day. I'll see you at the Pines!

Stay safe Ryan!! Hope the kids don't get too worked up! I hope all the nasty weather misses you this year!! Have a great day!!

********* MILESTONE DAY *********




Good Morning, Folks.
Hey! A Milestone Day.

<< But, we just had one yesterday, Crown! >>

That's right. And we are having another one today.
Like the rare lunar eclipse, so are twin back-to-back Milestones.

Today's is, of course, the 200-day Season Window!

Days to the Season: 200
Days to Christmas Day: 242

But wait -- there's more!
<< No, No, Crown. I can't take any more! >>
But you don't want to miss tomorrow -- when we start a 100's level Season Count, do you?
<< Well.......no.... >>


Almost too warm here yesterday but fortunately, the humidity has yet to arrive.
Now today could be rather rainy and we have started it out here at 68 degrees, with lots of sun so far.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Particularly Perfect 'Pines Day, Everyone!
Carl is ready and says he has a new game to be debuted at the 'Pines this evening called "Two Hundred Windows". I guess the 'Pines has that many (it's a pretty big place) but how Carl could work that into a game is anybody's guess.
I suppose I'll show up to see.
How about you?

What an exciting week!! See you tonight!!!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning Holiday!
Happy Pines Day!
Keeping your mom in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted.
I hope you have a nice day <3
xx

Thank you HMG! Really appreciate that. Hoping there is nothing to be concerned about! xx

Good morning!
Happy Pines Day!
It's going to be partly cloudy today with a high of 60, we're currently at 48 degrees. Not too much going on here, typical day of errands and chores. My two youngest have off today, we're going to make homemade pizza for lunch. Dinner will be spaghetti and chicken parmesan. Can you tell I'm hungry, I should make myself something for breakfast. The Islanders play tonight, round two begins. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Good morning!! Sounds like you have a wonderful day ahead! Lunch & dinner both sound yummy. And now you have made me hungry too! Enjoy the game tonight!!
Have a great day!

We had the Buzzr channel on last night (old game shows), and there was a 1983 episode of Press Your Luck that had all Christmas-themed questions, plus the Whammies singing off-key Christmas carols! A bit strange, but a nice surprise!

How fun!! I'm sure it was comical!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Weds to everyone. Weather looks better today here. All caught up on my sleep and wondering what I will do the rest of the week..Star Wars or LOTR marathon maybe.

Oh decisions, decisions! Enjoy your days off!!!!

Glad the hotel went well and harlowe slept well too!

Happy Pines Day!

I can't believe we are mid way through the week!!

Lots to get done today. I also need to run a couple of errands and pop to the supermarket quickly. I have no food in the house!

I also need to start thinking about which Estate agent to move to next. Ugh. Mr Festive was telling me about his colleague's experience last night. When they told their agent they wanted to leave, the agent met with them and listened to their reasons. She offered improvements and changes if they stayed. They did and their house sold within 2 weeks after that!

Just shows me that our agent didn't care as she never even asked for any feedback as to why we were leaving. Thank goodness we are moving on from them.

Okay well have a lovely Wednesday all. See you all later.

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines/WednesDAY!!! Someone turned the heat off here! Brrrrr! Had to turn the furnace back on at home this morning! It's a dreary day with wind - not supposed to rain until later tonight! Going to be "one of them" kind of days concerning the weather!

Not much going on around here today. Emma (moms Amish lady) wants to go back tonight b/c she has a wedding tomorrow. So I'll stay with Mom tonight. I don't really think she needs someone all the time anymore, but it's a peace of mind, overnight anyway.
Please keep Mom in your prayers today - she has an apt w/ an oncologist. They found her platelet count very high when she was in with pneumonia in February & that has not gone down yet, though she is clear of pneumonia. So they forwarded her to an oncologist just to make sure things are ok. They don't know what her normal platelet count is b/c unless you have an illness, they don't check that. Soooo?? I'm a little unsure about the necessity of this appointment. Mom feels good, she's getting back to life, going back to the Y....what are they going to do? She's 87! Ahhhh, anyway.... say a little prayer that all turns out good, if you don't mind! Thanks!

You all have a Perfect Pines Day!

Praying for your family

Any trip to the oncologist is scary. I'll be sending prayers for your mom, and for you, too.
