Oh look it's September!!!!!
Yeah I'm with you on both!It's a bittersweet time indeed. Although autumn is my favourite season, I am always sad to see summer go too.
Just like that huh?Oh look it's September!!!!!
If everything doesn't get done, you can always elope!Yeah!!! And the realization that in 17 days, I will be marrying my best friend!! It seemed so far away, then I blinked... (cue the maniacal scream for getting everything done on time!!)
Merry Morning all,
Mum is now safe and sound back home. It was tough saying good bye but we are both adjusting back into things and looking forward to our next visit hopefully next summer again.
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. Things were somewhat overwhelming for a while so I needed to take some time but you all were never far from my thoughts. It was helpful having Mum around and I am feeling better.
Now it's time to focus on what's to come! Can you believe we are welcoming the ber months tomorrow!!!! We are one month away from my absolute favourite month of the year - October. It is the biggest milestone month for me.
It's all about to start and I look forward to catching up with everyone ad celebrating our favourite time of the year together.

Morning everyone!! Last day of August and "its about time!!"
It's hump day! 3 more days of work and then 3 days off! I'm working the afternoon/evening shift, so this morning I'm relaxing for a bit but I'll go in early, I have tons to do. Have a great day everyone!
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!!!
Good Morning, Mid-Week 'Pines Patrons.
(Can it really be 'Pines Day again already?
Wow!)
Can our count really read like this:
Days to the Season: 74
Days to Christmas Day: 116
And can we really be down to only SIXTEEN days to the 100-DAY CHRISTMAS DAY WINDOW and the beginning of a double-digit count?
If your answer is an immediate "yes!" to these questions, then you are a dedicated regular follower of our Countdown Thread, not to mention a good MMC citizen.
(And we appreciate your support!)
Another fairly nice day here yesterday considering it's still August, although we are monitoring a couple of tropical systems that could brush past our cottage.
Currently, it is sunny and 76 degrees here in the capital city of North Carolina, in the heart of Panther country.
OK! Last 'Pines open house of the month. Next week's installment will have a 'ber theme.
Wonder what Carl's entertainment will be this evening?
Only one way to find out. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.
Until then, you have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks!
Good morning MMC! Happy Hump Day, Merry Pines Day, Happy last day of August! (how did that happen?!)
I had a fun night last night doing a little grocery & dollar store shopping! I was at the dollar store to pick up a few things for Mom when I decided to take a little stroll down the "Fall" aisle. It's not much but I picked up a few little things to add to my collection...

I thought they were pretty cute for a couple/few bucks!I'm not decorated for fall at home yet, but of course these things are out already - I wasn't going to put them away at this point in the game!

Everyone, have a wonderful day!!!
Just got word our neighbor lady at the lake passed away this morning! #@&^ cancer! Her significant other has had a trailer close to us for years. They started dating probably close to 10 years ago. He left a message on my phone this morning wanting me to let everyone know. He was so upset. The poor guy! Hate it!![]()
Good Afternoon/Evening christmas friends....We are heading into our best time of the year tomorrow Woo-Hoo....![]()
Good Afternoon, MMC!!! Well I spent the morning booking a hotel and renting a car so we can go to our family reunion next weekend in PA. My aunt, my sister, and my nieces are going to. So it should be an adventure. It'll be my nieces first time back and our first time in 14 years. So it'll be good to see everyone. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!
