Christmas Countdown - 2016

[SnowflakeMom]

Good Tuesday Morning MMC! Happy Last Day of May. It was a great and relaxing long holiday weekend. I really had time to just do nothing for a change. Sometimes that feels good. The bbq was delicious and the best part about a big bbq is the leftovers for the next day aka tonight. It's my busy week at work and with it being only 4 days instead of 5 well this week is really gonna move. Can not believe we're in the last day of May. March, April, May have gone so fast it's just mind boggling.
Have a great last day of May everyone!

Good morning Edge!! Nice that you have leftovers! Can you believe we are in the last day of May?? It is crazy!

Good Morning, Enthusiastic Fellow Christmas Supporters!

Rise, shine, pour yourself a cup of tea and open today's copy of The Daily Countdown.

Ah!
It says that our next Milestone, the 200-day Christmas Day Window, arrives exactly ONE WEEK from tomorrow.
Not only that, but immediately following, we will be in a double-100's count mode.
(And if you read it in The Daily Countdown, it must be so!)

Days to the Season: 166
Days to Christmas Day: 208


Warm and humid with off-and-on rain is the order of the week.
This morning has commenced rather cloudy at 73 degrees here in central North Carolina, the heart of Panther country.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thanks, Crown! Have a great week.

I ended up ordering a stone to put by Dads tree & I just got notification it was delivered today. Prefect timing for Memorial weekend! It looks like this:

But obviously my Dads name is not Emily Walters.

That's a wonderful tribute. I'm so glad it came in!

Good Morning MMC..Looks like it is going to be nice today. Just work for me today and I need to catch up on folding laundry tonight. I hope you all have a great day!

Is your shop located near Frankenmuth? It's so awesome to meet a fellow Michigan Christmas fiend on here! We got married in Frankenmuth at Sullivan's and go back every year for our anniversary.

Yes, the antique mall is in Birch Run. I agree ~ awesome to find a fellow Michigan Christmas fiend!! So very happy to have made your acquaintance on here, FKB!!

Hey hey. A rare visit from one of the old gang. And by old, I mean Jayish. Life continues to get in the way of my getting here. Starting a new job in three weeks for the first time in 32 years. Hope everyone is having a groovy kinda life. Yabba!

Good luck on the new job!

Good morning Snowflake!
Hoping and praying Harlowe will have a better day today and you will have a wonderful "short" week.

I hear those quotes ... why is it that the four-day weeks after a Monday holiday rarely feel shorter?

 

[MerryCarey]

Good morning everyone! SHORT work week this week! Yay!
I think I may have found the last post-Christmas sale yesterday.
Yankee Candle had their Christmas candles on sale 60% off.
I bought the Sparkling Cinnamon candle.
How many days till the Christmas season so I can start burning this thing?

We were at the local Christmas Tree Shop this weekend, and they had a BIG display of all sorts of Yankee Candles. So if you're a Yankee Candles fan and there's a CTS in your neighborhood, check it out.

Good Morning, friends~
Merry Saturday!
I'm off to a late start today. I was up most of the night with my sweet girl. As I suspected, she hasn't gotten rid of her infection or there's something else going on. I did call the vet today, and of course neither of her docs (primary or secondary) were there today. However, I did press for the vet on duty to look at her file. She did agree to fill her antibiotics again for half of a prescription, so we had to go pick that up. Hopefully she'll at least be comfortable for the weekend. Still needs to go out every two hours, poor girl.
Anyways, I'm finally having some breakfast & a some coffee before getting back to packing.
Hope you all have a blessed day!

Praying Harlowe is better now! (((HUGS)))

 

[MerryCarey]

Happy New (Work)Week!

Good Morning, friends~
Merry Tuesday!
Harlowe is doing okay, still drinking a lot and needing to go out every two-three hours. I'm concerned that this infection isn't going away/and her meds aren't doing their job. I will see what her vet says.
Thank God for a short work week.
Wishing you all a blessed & beautiful day!

I hope the infection goes away very soon. Keeping the both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs ♥

Good morning, Happy Tuesday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Back in to the swing of things today. I'm heading out soon, I have to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to work on the laundry, I definitely slacked this weekend and it really piled up. I have a couple of other errands to run this afternoon so I'll be in and out today. I'll pop back in when I can. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

It has been a nice relaxing day so far. Just a little "light" cleaning around the house, playing some video games, watching "Animaniacs" cartoon, and lounging about. My youngest (Henry) was outside playing this morning and came across two giant moths in the backyard. The were just laying on the grass. They were stuck and could not really fly away. We moved the grass a bit and got one on a stick and it flew away. The other refused to fly, so Henry kept it on a stick and moved it over to the woodpile for shelter. Good thing, because about 20 minutes later, we had a huge storm move through.
Hope everyone else is enjoying the day!

I love this ~ compassion for all animals is a wonderful trait to have!!

 

[Meceka]

I'm so sorry to hear that Harlowe had such a rough night. Hopefully the antibiotics will do their thing and you will both enjoy a better night coming up. Keeping you in my thoughts.


We have a portable air conditioner which we brought out last Wednesday. We can finally sleep again. How is your tooth doing today? I hope the pain is manageable.

What a perfect Summer day. After planting our flowers, we went shopping a bit and then went for a drive with Loki, looking at really, really rich people's houses. One can dream. But even if I were a millionaire, those houses are much too big for me.

Here are our flowers this year. We change it up each Summer.

Gorgeous flowers!
