Good evening,

Monday down , inventory next. Tomorrow is inventory, a late night awaits. Watching Deadpool for a few minutes before drifting off. At least I get to sleep in the next 2 days. Looking forward to the weekend and the next Black Wolves game.

I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

I hope inventory goes well!! xx Have a great day!

Morning MMC! Another rainy day here but they promise we'll see a lot of sunshine on Wednesday and Thursday. That will be nice after 4 cloudy and rainy days in a row. Although they say Friday will be a rainy day again before it clears up for the weekend. Anyone else starting to think about Easter? It's coming so quickly even though it's later this year than last year. I guess everything comes quickly this year. Hope everyone has a great day!!

I've had my Easter things out for a couple weeks. I was just thinking how nobody has offered to host Easter yet this year. I'm sure someone will step up! Hopefully the weather is nice!!
Have a good day Edge.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Well, here we are, nearing the end of yet another month.
They come and go like ghosts.

And this morning sees us haunted by the latest count numbers:
Days to the Season: 230
Days to Christmas Day: 272

Now, focus on that first number. It tells us, not so subtely, that we are now INSIDE A MONTH to the 200-day Season Window and the beginning of a 100's level Season count sequence.
But even before that -- one day before, in fact -- we will arrive at the ONE-THIRD marker to Christmas Day 2017.
Yes, that's right, BACK-TO-BACK Milestones!
(Folks, this is an MMC exclusive. You will not find it on any other Christmas website!)


Beautiful weather here, yesterday. (If you can overlook the pollen, that is.)
We are getting some rain this morning, which should help out, however briefly, in the pollen abatement department.
Things have commenced here overcast, at 62 degrees.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends!

Thanks crown! Exciting things ahead! Have a great day!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

Nancy had installed a new air freshener in the house after I left for work yesterday, and when I went home for lunch the house smelled like Christmas! I took Elizabeth to dance yesterday afternoon, and made our twice-weekly dreaded trip to Walmart. I did have Panda Express for supper, though, so it was a win for me!

We have customers coming for a visit today, so I better get to work. I hope y'all have a great day!

Oooh, Christmas! You go Nancy!!!
Hope your customer visit goes well today. Have a great day!

GM MMC! Another dreary day but I am working so I guess it is fine. We are hosting for Easter so I need to get planning my menu, usually my SIL helps out with bringing stuff so it is not too bad. Hope you all have a great day!!

Thats what I ended up doing Minta.. used a big roasting pan. The brown sugar turns into granite..lol

Put some baking soda & lemon juice in with the water & boil!

Glad to hear you didn't have any freezing rain!!! xx Melt that snow - bring on spring!!


I made a couple homemade pizza dough's last year - found the recipes on allrecipes.com. They were good. They used yeast, but didn't need to be kneaded or anything. I let my kitchen aid do the kneading for me - lazy man's way! (here's the pizza crust recipes, IF you're interested)

My bread appears to have turned out really well this time. xx We haven't even tried it yet b/c we still had a little bit left from the loaves I made last week. I brought a loaf to Mom/Emma this morning...Emma's the real judge. LOL! These loaves feel lighter than the 2 I made last week so I'm hoping they're good. xx

Thanks for the pizza dough recipes, doesn't sound too hard to do, we'll see how it turns out if I try it this morning. Glad your bread turned out well.

ENJOY Your day off!!!! Give Loki a hug from me 'n Grace!

Thank you Holiday. Enjoy your day as well and hugs right back to you and Gracie.

You're welcome!! I like those "no knead" recipes. If you try them, I hope they turn out good for you! Good luck!

Thank you Holiday. Enjoy your day as well and hugs right back to you and Gracie.

Thank you!

Good afternoon MMC ~
Hope everyone's having a nice day so far! I've been in and out. Had to do some food shopping early this morning. Ran to the bank and post office after I put my groceries away. Just working on the laundry, having a quick bite to eat and spending some time with Maggie right now. We've had some pretty heavy rain off and on. I need to head back out to pick up a couple of more things and then I'll be in for the rest of the day. I'm making chicken cordon bleu for dinner, haven't made that in awhile. That's about it for me. Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the day!

Does anybody know where the recent "Merry Podcasts" are located. I found episode #57 from Christmas and thats it. I thought I listened to a January episode but I cant seem to find it.

Good afternoon ... raining and scattered thunderstorms all day today so it will not get as warm as they first thought. With all this rain the grass is going to grow like crazy. Looks like we may have to break out the lawnmower this weekend. Another sign that spring has sprung We picked up the Easter candy for the kids Easter baskets last night and I glad we did since store didn't have as much candy as they did last week. They already started condensing the Easter stuff into fewer isles. Well everyone .. I hope you have a great day!

The last one I downloaded was episode 57 in December. I treasure these and hope I didn't miss one. The Merrypod and Can't wait for Xmas pods are two of my favorite podcasts.

I noticed that too, Minta when I was at the store the other day. I need to get some candy for my kids too! I need to work on that this weekend.

Several of our neighbors have mowed already. Jim brought our lawnmower home last night. (We store it at the farm in the winter)
Have a great day Minta!
