Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Edge612]

Good Morning, People of All Holiday Persuasions in General and Christmas in Particular.

And here in this thread, we are quite particular and precise about the relative proximity to our holiday of choice.
It is reflected in the daily numbers.

Here are today's:
Days to the Season: 216
Days to Christmas Day: 258

And our Milestones. Let us not forget the Milestones and their importance.
Two are pending on back-to-back days later this month.
1) The 200-day Season Window is now just 16 days away. Two weeks from the day after tomorrow!
2) The one-third point to to Christmas Day is now just two weeks from tomorrow!
(It's going to be exciting around here the last week of the month!)


Well, a warm Spring has settled in for the time being. Dry and sunny, too.
As mentioned before, the only drawback is the heavy pine pollen everywhere, but that seem to be moderating now.
An inspection of our thermometer this morning reveals we are at 60 degrees, here.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown! Loving this spring weather Easter week!

Hmmmm anyone up for Easter Opera??? The creative juices are flowing or is that the chemicals in my blood stream. Hmmmmmmmmmm. OPERA.

Hmmmmmmm. The Opera. Part xxxiiivvv. Coming soon. Yabba!

As the crowd chants, "Opera, Opera, Opera!"

Opera, Opera, Opera!!

Happy Tuesday all. I'm hoping you have a great day!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

I ran Elizabeth to dance practice yesterday afternoon, and made a Walmart run while I was at it. Since it's the last week of tax season, Nancy couldn't go. What? You didn't know that tax season is the most important season in the world, you say? Silly reader. Well, at least now you know.

Anyway, this morning, as I was getting in my truck, I noticed that the pool pump sounded different, and the water wasn't circulating. I turned it off and opened the skimmer lid to find a drowned squirrel clogging it. That's a tough way to go, bless his heart. I had time for a quick burial.

I think we're taking Elizabeth and her cousin to a movie tonight to celebrate their Spring Break.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sunny and warm today ... we're supposed to match the record for high temp on this date, around 80. The radio says we didn't achieve that last year until well into May.

Morning MMC! It's Tuesday but feels like Wednesday with Friday being off. I didn't realize the kids were off all week. I noticed yesterday driving to work no school buses. Kind of was thinking it seemed like yesterday they were starting in early September and now they are heading towards their home stretch pretty soon towards their summer break. It's going to be warm (almost 80 today!) and feeling early summer-like instead of spring-like. Cooler temps but still nice after today. Have a great Tuesday!

Have a great Tuesday, Edge!! I am loving this weather too but like you I don't want to head straight into summer!

Thanks Crown...I can't believe we are getting so closer to the 200 day mark!!

Have a good day, Merry! Enjoy the nice weather!

Happy Tuesday Friends! My kids are on spring break this week and they are actually headed to my MIL's tonight for a sleepover. I am just working away so I can take Friday off. The weather is beautiful and I am hoping to get a workout in today. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning MMC! Merry Tuesday!! Not much going on today, just work! Sun is shining at the moment. Yesterday we hit 77º, today a high of 66º is predicted.

Our neighbor has invited over a few neighbor ladies tonight. She said she has wine & cider from Fl, Ga, Va, In, Oh, & Qn (not sure what state that is supposed to be ) She's also having cheese. Should be fun.

I didn't sleep worth a hoot last night. I might have to catch a nap before going to the neighbors tonight.

Everyone, have a Terrific Tuesday!!!

Good evening,

I haven't been here since Thursday, just not enough time in the dsy. We went to the Black Wolves game on Friday night, they lost badly, but by the time we got home and having to get up the next morning for work I got about 3.5 hours of sleep. Been too tired to pop in the last few nights. I am now a week behind on the posts, hopefully I will be able to see what everyone is up to.

Goodnight, everyone

Hope you can catch up on some sleep soon!!! xx Have a good day xmas!

Hmmmmmmm. The Opera. Part xxxiiivvv. Coming soon. Yabba!

Greetings on this fine Tuesday morning Holiday. It was nice to hear that your weekend went so well and that you may have friends by you more often at the lake. I try to get away once or twice a year just to kick back, but like so many others, I find that there is just too much I need/want to do and not enough time to get it all done. Not that I never relax (especially being over 60), but I have a hard time doing it when I know there are things that need to be done. Must be that tiny work-aholic portion inside me...
Have a great Easter week...

We always say the lake is like a vacation - every weekend! It just makes us busier through the week getting things done at home, but after so many years, we have a pretty good system down!
Hope you are having a great day!

Always crazy how fast that school year goes - for me - now! LOL!! Hope you have a great Tuesday. Looking forward to a 3 day weekend!

Good Tuesday morning! After bright sunshine yesterday, rain is back. I have to do some grocery shopping and I already started a load of laundry. It's weird because for 3 weeks, I'll only be at the store max 3 days each week. I have first aid training two days this week, then next week I took 2 extra days off and the next, I took an extra day off and I have to attend a new course on loss prevention. I just hope that doesn't mean I'll have to work longer hours to make up for it. Enjoy your day everyone!

Fingers crossed for you that you don't have to work extra to make it up!!! Enjoy your day & stay dry!!! Hi Loki!!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

I ran Elizabeth to dance practice yesterday afternoon, and made a Walmart run while I was at it. Since it's the last week of tax season, Nancy couldn't go. What? You didn't know that tax season is the most important season in the world, you say? Silly reader. Well, at least now you know.

Anyway, this morning, as I was getting in my truck, I noticed that the pool pump sounded different, and the water wasn't circulating. I turned it off and opened the skimmer lid to find a drowned squirrel clogging it. That's a tough way to go, bless his heart. I had time for a quick burial.

I think we're taking Elizabeth and her cousin to a movie tonight to celebrate their Spring Break.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I'm betting Nancy is pretty happy this is the last week of tax season!
I hope Elizabeth has a good spring break!!
Poor squirrel!
Have a good day Brad!
