Good Morning, Holiday!

Cute Autumn finds!! Love them!
Have a fantastic day!

Thanks snowflake! Hope your day is going well!!!

Excellent grocery store finds!! Score!
Adi brought me home some more Harvest Patch Shandy last night, too!
Cheers!!!

Awesome! If the weather is nice I'm hoping to sit on the patio with some chips & fresh salsa & a Harvest Patch Shandy tonight! *Cheers*

Sounds delicious!!! Enjoy!!!
BTW - I was up at 3:30 also, letting Gracie out since we had storms roll through last night & she wouldn't come out of the basement to go out at a normal time...but I went back to bed! LOL! It is a peaceful time though!
Have a great day!

Poor Gracie, hope the weather is decent now. Please give her a hug for us <3

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Merry 'Bers Eve to you!
Thanks, hope you have a great day too!

It really did go fast! And I bet it went even faster for you having your mum there! I agree - the next few months can slow down - a nice, slow, beautiful, relaxing, yet fun filled fall would be nice!
Mom is doing well, Miss Gracie too! Gracie is ornery as ever!! xx
Hope your kids are doing well too. Are they ready to go back to school?

Don't know about them but I'm ready for them to go back hahahaha! My youngest starts full time school from September. Can's believe it! It will be a huge change. Having him start nursery (half days) last september has cushioned the transition somehwhat though. Remember how nervous I was. He loved going though and is excited about 'big school'

Glad to hear your mum and gracie are well. I bet Gracie was up to all sorts this summer!

It just doesn't seem possible!!
Emma just told me yesterday that Monday was her 6 month Anniversary of staying with Mom. (Since Feb 29) She mentioned it seems like 4 weeks ago we asked her if she would stay - I had to totally agree! She said she remembers it was colder that day but sure doesn't seem like 6 months ago!

No, it doesn't!

Wow, time sure flies. I'm so glad that your Mom has such a sweet lady there to help out.

Poor Gracie, hope the weather is decent now. Please give her a hug for us <3

Thank you! I will!! I found a piddle spot on the carpet in the sunroom this morning. She SO rarely does that! I'm thinking & hoping it's just b/c she wouldn't go outside last night b/c of the storm & she really had to go & not that it's something else. I'm blaming it on the storm but will keep my eye on her.

Happy Pinesday, Christmas friends!

I thought I was through with my after-work business for a couple weeks, and I wound up working till 10pm last night. And I have a little more to finish up during my lunch hour today. Whew! Why don't these people just send me a check, and quit making me work for it?!?

Of course, I did get my yard cut, and I cut the grass at my brother's business. He's been in a dispute with the city about the appearance of his business. LOL He doesn't really put much stock into appearances. They actually sent the police chief out to see him. Luckily, I was there at the time, so after Jim blew up, I told him to take a break and I settled things down with chief.

It's not really that serious. We're a small community, so we've known chief since we were kids, and he wasn't really threatening Jim. He was just letting him know that Terry (the mayor of Claxton) wanted him to clean up. Small towns, right? LOL

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Pines Day, Brad!
You have been busy!! I'm tired just hearing about it!
Hope things slow down soon, so you & Lulu can watch some more Star Trek
Hope you have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Merry 'Bers Eve to you!
Thanks, hope you have a great day too!

Good morning everyone. Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes yesterday. It was a wonderful service! My wife's uncle was a retired firefighter and lots of folks from the force showed up and supported his family. Very moving.

I hope you all have a great last day of August and I'll see y'all at the Pines!

Merry Pines Day, Ryan!
Glad that the service gave you guys some comfort, it sounds like it was very touching. Hope you have a blessed day!
Continued prayers being sent~

LOL!!! Well I hope they both have a great year at school! Hope he loves "big school" Too cute!

Yes, Gracie has been in rare form all summer. She truly thinks she's human!

I've seen almost all of our 100+ employees to invite them to write a message in the album. I've had 5 former employees write something on Facebook. And yesterday I downloaded the trial version of Paint Shop Pro to edit photos and make collages. My boss has an idea he wants to discuss with me but he's being super secretive about it. I'll find out tomorrow when he's in. So it's going fine but I'll take a day during my long weekend to really finalize everything.

Glad to hear it, it sounds like it will be lovely~

 

[Holiday]

No, it doesn't!

Wow, time sure flies. I'm so glad that your Mom has such a sweet lady there to help out.

It's such a comfort knowing Emma is there! They have so much fun together. Thanks!

Dogs Understand What You Say

I guess I'm a scientist and didn't know it! I could have told them that!

I thought the same thing when I read that earlier!

Happy Pines Day, Brad!
You have been busy!! I'm tired just hearing about it!

Hope you have a great day!

Too funny!

It makes a BIG difference in the workplace when the management recognizes and rewards the special efforts employees make. I'm in such a place now. But I remember all too well working in a place where my supervisor expected me to make up sick days, complained because employees left at closing time, yet would try to avoid having anyone charge overtime! Being appreciated makes up for a lot of hectic days, and makes you want to do a little extra to help when things are crazy. (I think today's going to be one of those days, BTW ...)

Hope your day goes well, Merry~

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day! Most importantly Happy 'Bers Day Eve! The last non-Bers day until New Years Day. Let that sink in for a minute. Think about all that we will experience in the next 4 month. It's the stuff people like myself wait for all 8 months long. Not to say I have not appreciated the summer (and spring). Winter not so much but I'm working on that for 2017 . My boss sent us a really nice email yesterday about how we covered for each other this summer when everyone was in and out on vacation. She told us she wants to take us out to lunch one day soon. It was nice to hear.
Have a great LAST NON-BERS DAY EVERYONE!!!

Sounds like you guys deserve it!!
Happy last day!

 

[snowflake22]

Good morning and Happy Pine's Day to all here at MMC!

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Pines Day!! My kids went back to school today and my oldest is starting high school so I hope everything is going well. They only have classes for 10 mins each and then they do a huge celebration welcoming the freshman. They have waterslides, food trucks and a bunch of games so it should be fun!
Just working today and my husband is making me stuffed shrimp tonight for my b-day dinner. He is an awesome cook so I am looking forward to that! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hope your girls have great first days back at school!
That's really neat that they welcome the freshmen like that.
Enjoy your birthday dinner!
