Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

That's the plan to get out on time Friday. Sun would be nice...I forget what it looks like. It's so damp and chilly out I'm going to buy a hot chocolate today (yes in May).

My boss just said it feels like it could snow!

Morning mmc! Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!

Good morning FKB!

Good evening,

I put in over 12 hours at work today, heading to what looks like at least a 52 hour work week. I haven't done that much in years. Tomorrow may be the same. I am beat, and my alarm will be going off at 4am.

My grandfather had the tests done on that spot on his lung and it came back as cancer, with his age they feel there isn't much they can do. I don't know what the future holds, but my grandfather has said he just wants to see my grandmother again.

I hope you all had a good day.

Goodnight, everyone

My heart is aching with yours. Prayers for you and your family, friend. Rest up and store away some strength when you can.

 

[Holiday]

So do my customers.

Good Morning, everyone!

Another 'Pines Day is behind us. What a wonderful time it was.

10 days remain until we reach that wondrous milestone of Half way to the Christmas Season 2016. The sounds of those magical sleigh bells are getting closer.

Days to the Season: 192
Days to Christmas Day: 234

Of course, we cannot forget that we will be hitting the 180-mark this weekend, too!

As you may have noticed, Crown is in Asheville. Let's hope he has safe travels and enjoys his much deserved vacation! I can't speak for the weather in his parts, but in Canada's Capital, we are at a seasonal 11c/52f this morning. Highs are to reach 18c/64f. The only real downfall is that it is a cool breeze coming from the NE.

Wherever you may be, I hope you are having some fantastic Spring weather. And, of course, I cannot forget about Carl's hilarious antics of "May I" last night. That crazy camel has a wicked sense of humour sometimes.

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

It won't be long now!
As I was passing by Hobby Lobby last night, I started thinking that they will start putting out Christmas decorations in a couple of weeks. Once they do, I usually stop in every week or two just to see what else they've added to the shelves.

Thank you! You do the same! Stay warm!

Thanks! I think it's just getting through the chilly morning.
The high today is 70 =)

 

[snowflake22]

That's almost a rude introductory to go from frost to 85º! But I say, bring it on! We have a high of 77 on Saturday - that will feel like heaven!

Agreed! LOL!!

Enjoy your 77 degrees over the weekend!

 

[snowflake22]

Good idea to savor the sun & warmth! Hope it lasts longer than expected!!
You bet! We are definitely having Mexican for dinner. I'm hoping to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant but it may be packed tonight! If that's the case, I'll be making something at home! But I sure could go for one of their margarita's!
Are you celebrating too?

I'm making Spicy Mexican rice and Mexican chicken with nachos and dip

Yeah I kwow what you mean the restaurant will prob be busy. Home made Mexican will be great too especially if your're cooking!!!!! have fun.

I am meeting @snowflake22 for a margarita later. Obviously I expect you to join us !!!

This time of year I get a charge out of seeing the stars-and-stripes items coming out in the craft stores---a sure sign that summer is on its way!

I made a HC chocolate this morning after my coffee...I could not warm up. It was good...have not had one in so long! Enjoy!

It's crazy. I think that I saw North Dakota or somewhere near the Canada border is going to be 93 today.
