Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Rich]

Well, last night I ordered a "concoction maker" for the lake. I was thinking I will let Carl borrow it for Pines nights!

Good morning MMC! Merry Tuesday!!

Gracie threw up this morning down our driveway. UGH! I'm hoping it was just a fluke but I'm worried she'll get sick again. Hoping she's ok - poor girl! I took her for a walk this morning before that & she seemed fine 'n dandy. Maybe when my boss comes in for break I'll see if I can run home to check on her.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Merry Tuesday Holiday ~
So sorry to hear about Gracie. Sending up prayers, I hope she's alright. Please keep us posted (((hugs)))

Good Morning, Wonderful Window Watchers!

And what Window are we watching for?
All together now.
"The 200-day Christmas Day Window, Crown!"
Right you are.
(What smart members we have here at MMC.)

Today's count numbers:
Days to the Season: 159
Days to Christmas Day: 201

And sure enough. Tomorrow. That Window opens!
(Be here.)


More rain last night as Tropical Storm Colin approached the Gulf coast and is supposed to move offshore from our cottage today. Fortunately, the winds are not predicted to be strong but I'm glad I scheduled a trip to go over there tomorrow for a final check.
We are at 72 wet degrees here currently but it is predicted to dry up this afternoon and for the remainder of the week.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, fellow MMC residents!

Thanks, Crown~
Have a fantastic Tuesday!
Hope your trip to the cottage goes well, stay safe.

Good morning everyone, Happy Tuesday!
I am exhausted, I have not been sleeping well the past few nights. Maggie has been waking me up around 2:30 and then I can't fall back to sleep. I'm just drinking my coffee and watching the news right now. My daughter is sitting with me, she's on my cell phone trying to help me with something. Apparently my Instagram account has a virus, I apologize to anyone here who follows me. I hope it hasn't affected any of you. It's frustrating because I'm not even that active on IG, I just post an occasional photo of Maggie or the cats. I guess it happens. My daughter thinks she resolved the problem. Fingers crossed. Anyway, I have lots to do today. More shopping for me, I'm still looking for a couple of birthday gifts and Fathers Day gifts. And I'm still looking for a dress for my nephews wedding. I hope I have a productive day!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well, HmG~
Thinking of you. Hope you can catch up on some rest today.
That's a bummer about IG, technology can be frustrating.
Hope your daughter has resolved the issue.
I don't notice anything different with mine, but will stay on the lookout.
Good luck and happy shopping today~
Have a wonderful day!

Did one of your cats have babies?! How wonderful!!!! They must be so adorable! My boys would love them!!! They have been begging for a cat. I really want to get them a pet but it's not the right time with our house up for sale and our current place is too small.

Great that you got some good stuff for the store! Good luck.

Good morning, Festive!

Yes, Lucy had kittens. You are right, it is wonderful and they are adorable!! I wish I could save one of the babies for your boys! I hope you are able to get your housing situation sorted soon so that you can get the boys their pet and plan for Christmas!!!

Thank you so much!

Have a blessed day, my friend!

Thank you Meceka!

You're welcome, DYHWIH!

Sounds wonderful Meceka! I hope you have a merry Monday and a wonderful week ahead!

Thank you so much ~ wishing you the same!

Momentous occasion today: I moved up from Ornament Craftsman to Fruit Cake Baker here! Anyone hungry?

Congratulations!

It's been one heck of a year already for us in my family...currently two members of the family in the hospital, another recovering from a broken leg, and another in and out of the hospital. Also, last night a family friend we've had for generations passed away. I'm a chaplain and had been at her retirement community before moving to my current community, so I've been asked to do her service. An honor but also so difficult!

I'm ready for some Christmas cheer. Who's got some today to share?!

Praying your relatives are better soon.
My deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your friend. (((hugs)))
My goodness, that is a lot you are going through ~ praying that the future brings you joy!!

 

[MerryCarey]

I have never seen it either.

Me three ...

 

[MerryCarey]

With coffee and/or tea we can accomplish anything!

Slight amendment ...

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a weekend!

I tried to open the pool Saturday afternoon, but it took all afternoon just to get the crazy pool cover off. It was covered in pecan leaves & rain water. By the time I got the cover off, the 95° heat and 100% humidity had almost killed me LOL. And by that time, the pool store was closed, so I couldn't buy any chemicals. So now I have an open, GREEN pool. LOL

We went to mom's after church yesterday for lunch. While we were there, a storm came up, and lightning struck the tree in the front yard. Then her power went out. She called later to say that the power was back on, but the lightning had busted a water line in the front yard. I went back and dug until 10pm last night. We found the damaged pipe, but we didn't have the right fittings to fix it. I got it ready to easily fix for her, and she capped the pipe this morning. After she turned the water back on, another water geyser appeared farther down the line. Darn that lightning!! I think it's my brother's turn to dig!

Then, there was no power at my house this morning, so I had to wear a hat to work. Grrrr.

Other than all that, things are great! LOL Seriously, thanks the Lord for this day!!

Oh, and today is Nancy's birthday!

I hope y'all have a great one!

Good morning, Brad!
How scary! I'm so glad no one was hurt!
Happy Birthday to Nancy ~ hope her day was magical!
Have a blessed day!
