Christmas Countdown - 2017

[made582]

Went to Walmart for cough drops and came home with a pressure cooker. Darn them and their displays.

Happy Tuesday! My kids had a 2 hr delay due to some down trees on some of the roads. We started off with sleet and changed over to rain overnight but that wind was so strong. I will take the rain over snow..lol Hope you all have a great day!

Glad you didn't get sleet the whole time!!

Good morning to all my MMC friends. Got a very early start at the laundromat (3AM). Yes, I have a washer & dryer, but some things are just too big for those appliances. While there I got the constant updates for the upcoming snow storm. Here in Sioux Falls, we can expect 6" - 10" over the next 24 hours. Then a break in the action, with cold, but no more precipitation.
Going to try to get to bed a few hours early today, so that I can get up earlier and shovel some snow. But hey, all you guys have a great day and don't forget the coffee (along with a piece of apple pie).

Stay safe in the snow!!!

A little follow up from my other post. I thought I might share with my Christmas friends but while going through my cancer, surgery and upcoming treatments I tend to worry once in awhile. When the worry starts up I put on the movie Elf. That movie has the innocent childlike Christmas dose I need! It sure does help! Ha ha! Overall, I feel very confidant about a full recovery but I'm human and worry kicks in from time to time. Christmas has always been therapy for me and go to it year round if needed!

I hope you are all doing well! Sure miss it here!

We miss you too, Friend!! Glad to hear that you are recovering well from the surgery and that Christmas is helping to keep your spirits high!! Lots of prayers are still flowing your way!!

A movie that has a special message for you in tough times helps. Mine throughout chemo was Buster Keaton's "The General." (There's more to that story, but it's not Christmas-related, so I'll omit it here.)

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

I am glad you had a movie to lift you up! Overall, my spirits have been good but you know, we have those times during a health crisis!

Woo Hoo! Great to see you!

Yep! Tagging my name sure got me wondering what was up! Thanks for that! Made had already sent me a message recently to return!

We miss you too, Friend!! Glad to hear that you are recovering well from the surgery and that Christmas is helping to keep your spirits high!! Lots of prayers are still flowing your way!!

Besides Christmas, it's friends like all of you who keep me going too! Thanks!

Greetings, MMC!

Hope you're all doing well~

We are doing pretty good, enjoying the winter weather in Northern Wisconsin =]

Things continue to be busy on our end.
We have filled a position at work, but one of my bosses recently had surgery and is out for a few months, so not much slowing down in the future.

Harlowe is still having health issues, fingers crossed she gets relief soon.
We are going to try her dental surgery again next month. A bit worried about that but know it's very important for her.

My FIL is still struggling, but we are grateful for his good days.

Adi has been traveling a lot for work, but he is home now so trying to spend as much time as possible with him before he has to leave again.

I keep in touch and updated through messages & e-mails. You all remain in my thoughts & prayers daily.
Sending hugs!

Peace & blessings ❤

Good morning MMC!!!! It sure is Monday!!!! (but that's ok, right?!) A very rainy Monday!!

What a weekend. We got my Mom home yesterday! YAY!!! I stayed with her last night, overnight. She went to bed shortly after 8:00 and within about 20 minutes she was ringing & ringing & ringing the bell on her walker. I went RUNNING in her room & asked what she needed?!?!?! She said "nothing, just thought I would see how long it takes you to come!!" Little sh*t!!! She's full of PNV!!! Trouble maker!!!! (I like it!)

On a much less happy note, our friends Dad who was admitted to the same nursing home my mom was in on Wednesday - also a neighbor & relative to my hubby - passed away.
One of my very good friends (the one I Christmas shop with every year & have "cookie day" with) - her Grandma passed away (which was probably a blessing) but also her cousin - 21 - committed suicide! 2017 is not starting well!!!

Despite all the sadness, there were some very happy moments as well! I do hope & pray you all had a great weekend too.

Have a great MONday!!!!

(by the way, I'm loving changing the number of days to Christmas on my countdown chalk board every day!!! )

Very happy that your mom is home and that she is full of PNV ~ good attitude for healing!

Oh my, many prayers going up for the families and friends of those who passed away. (((HUGS)))

I hope and pray you have a merrier-rest-of-the-week!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

It was a crazy-weather weekend, but we made it through unscathed. It's still raining a lot, and it's supposed to be windy this afternoon, but the brunt of it has passed by. There were several deaths associated with the storm, and I pray for their families.

When Jacob was very young, he used to like a kids show called Little Bear. They did a show about bad weather, and Mother Bear taught him a quote: "Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot, we'll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not." I still love Little Bear, and I'll stop and watch a minute of it, if it's on TV. It reminds me of the early days of our life together.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I'm so glad you and your family "made it through unscathed"!
Have a merry rest-of-the-week!

Merry Tuesday!

Relaxing a bit before I do a few chores. Then I am going to finish the book I am currently reading and if I'm not sleepy, start a new one. Great way to spend a rainy evening.

Be safe and merry!

Went to Walmart for cough drops and came home with a pressure cooker. Darn them and their displays.

A long time ago my wife sent me to Walmart with a list. I came back with a new car. To this day she tells everyone that I am a typical man because I never stick to the list.

Good Tuesday morning! Freezing rain and snow on the menu today. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift, not looking forward to going out. Seems I caught my husband's cold. His lasted only 4 days, hope it will be the same for me. Have a great day everyone!

Sending get well wishes, feel better Martine!

Holiday-Lots of prayerrs for your family and friends.

HMG- I hope your daughter feels better soon.

Martine- Hope you feel better soon.

NMC- Still praying for your family as well.

Thank you Made! Things have seemed to calm down a bit thankfully. Hope you are well

Happy Tuesday! My kids had a 2 hr delay due to some down trees on some of the roads. We started off with sleet and changed over to rain overnight but that wind was so strong. I will take the rain over snow..lol Hope you all have a great day!

Glad they got to school safely! The wind was terrible here too, was afraid I'd see a tree on top of my car this am.

Hello all! Been awhile!!!



Thanks so much for the prayers! Bradmac and a few others know the details but I have no idea how much info has been shared on here with others about my health. Had cancer surgery Thursday and the good news that it did not spread to the lymph nodes! I will have to have radiation treatments starting in a few weeks. I must say, I feel pretty darn good for what I have gone through. Everything is going to be just fine!

Thanks to all who have sent messages of support, prayers and love!

You are in my prayers for a full recovery and successful treatment.

@HmG, praying your daughter is better. xx

Sounds exactly like what I am doing. Reading anything good

Greetings HMG. Hope you were able to weather the storm okay. Sorry to hear about your daughter's illness, I pray they find out the cause and (with God's help) are getting her back to tip top shape. I have a small dog that always presents a problem when the weather turns (like it will today). He doesn't like have to wade through the snow and really despises the rain.
Have a Happy Tuesday...

HMG- I hope your daughter feels better soon.

I hope your daughter is feeling better quick! So many bugs hanging around this year. Stay safe in the storm.
