Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Good morning to all.
I'm looking to have a wonderful Wednesday and I sincerely hope you all have one as well.

Merry Pines Day, Ladybugkisses~
Have a blessed day!

Top of the Morning, my Friends!

And at the top of our agenda is the status of our count, which grows more interesting by the day.

Days to the Season: 88
Days to Christmas Day: 130

The TWO-THIRDS Milestone to Christmas day is now in sight and in fact looms ahead just ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW!
(I know that's hard to believe but don't take my word for it. Just check out our handy-dandy Milestone Marker Chart located at post number 1 of this thread.)


But you will have to take my word concerning our oppressive weather, as day after day of heat and humidity take a toll on us.
I am SO looking forward to September. (And not only for heat relief --- it's also the month "Christmas Blossoms 2016" will be released!)
We are at 80 typically humid degrees here, currently.


Well, Carl is well aware of the weather situation and so this evening's entertainment is centered pool side. Drinks are free at the pool IF you are willing to sample Carl's latest blend recipes.
(Based on past experience, you should think before you sip!)
Anyway, I'll be there. Hope you will be, too.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Thanks, Crown~
See you at the Pines!

Good morning everyone. 1 week until the first day of school. I went into my school and classroom this morning to drop some things off and Nathan had cross country practice. The new elementary/middle school looks great and they have done some renovations to the high school. Looking forward to the start of the school year!

Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Pines Day!

Good morning Iteachpercussion, Happy Pines Day!

Good morning everyone ~
Happy Pines Day!
I'm heading out soon, I have to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to work on my daily chores. My husband just called to tell me he bought two tickets to see Black Sabbath tonight. Yes, we were totally in to that kind of music when we were teenagers. Ozzy is touring with them and I really want to see him, I'm sure he's going to retire sooner or later. The show will be at Jones Beach, thankfully the weather is going to be beautiful tonight. I'm excited!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good morning, friends~
Merry Pines Day!
We lost power again last night, so I was up a bit trying to find a back up alarm.
Wasn't out for very long, maybe 45 minutes. The storm clouds were beautiful, though. Came out of nowhere.
I am hoping to hear from Harlowe's vet this morning before she starts to see patients, that would be ideal.
Wishing you a blessed & peaceful day!
See you tonight

Praying you get a call early today with good news! xx
Have a wonderful day!!

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day! My "emergency" vacation day today after being off 2 days last week, a few days in July, going in a couple hours late tomorrow, etc...think I need to get back into the work groove. Anyway, I'm not mentioning you know what until it happens lol. I'm not gonna jinx it again. I do hope everyone is well. I have some things to do today on my day off...and I think you know by now what I HOPE that is. Other than that, my brother had a good birthday with pizza and cake (and a friend came over for it). It was nice. 2 weeks from today guys...the EVE of the BERS!!!
Have a great Pines Day everyone!!

I hope by now you are being smothered in puppy kisses!!

Losing power is such a pain even if it is for a short time. Hope you hear from the vet today? How did she sleep last night?


Thanks Crown..have a great day!

It is! After I said goodnight here, it went out yet again Jinxed myself!

Thank you~
Har was restless in the middle of the night, and that was after it stopped storming. I feel so bad, as there's not a lot I can do but talk soothingly and try to calm her down.

How is Andre doing?

That is awesome you get to see Black Sabbath! Have fun at the concert!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Pines Day too!
My conference was a huge success. We had about 1000 men show up. Mike Huckabee said it was one of the smoothest conferences he's been to. Looking forward to doing it again in 2018.

I hope you all are doing well. My shoulder surgery (scheduled for yesterday) was postponed a week due to the air conditioner going out in the O.R. So now I'm back at work with everyone asking me why I'm here.

See you at the Shispering Pines tonight.
Have a blessed day!

Glad to hear your conference went so well!
Sorry to hear your surgery was postponed. I'm sure you were ready to get it over with. Frustrating. Continued prayers for a successful surgery & a speedy recovery!

Good morning to all.

You're making me hungry! You can never have too much homemade pizza sauce as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy the pizza tonight!

AWE!! Good ol made!
That reminds me of when Gracie started with all her issues & she had to go to the vet everyday for a week for IV's....her little wrapped paw made me feel so bad!

That looks pitiful but oh my word, she is such a cute baby!!!!

Good afternoon, MMC~

Adrian spent an hour & a half at the vet's office today. Harlowe had an exam, and a few different tests run. They did full labs, and an x-ray on her heart as well. So now we wait for results, and should hear back sometime tomorrow. I hate the waiting game.
I stopped to see her over lunch, and she was pretty stressed. But I'm still happy I checked in on her.

Thank you for all of the kind messages & texts. We appreciate you thinking of us, and for keeping Har in your prayers
