Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Holiday]

********** TRAVEL ALERT!! **********

I should have phrased that ********** MAJOR TRAVEL ALERT! **********

Yes, it's that time of the year when the Crowns travel to Florida to visit relatives for a week.
And that in turn, means a dedicated volunteer, with time on his/her hands, will be needed as a guest counter!
The time period is for this Sunday, May 14 through Saturday, May 20.

First come first, first accepted! (Or it could be done as a team effort if one person can't take the whole period. I think it worked out that way at least once before.)

We are looking forward to our trip.
There are two remaining members of my parents' generation left living, an aunt on my mother's side who is 95, and a cousin who will be 94 in July. Both live near each other in central Florida.

Thanks in advance to whoever steps forward!

Have a wonderful trip!!! Safe travels!!! That's awesome that you do that every year!!
Have a great day crown!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

I was too full to make it to the Pines last night. My father-in-law sells a hand-made burger at his store called a Bernie Burger, and it's almost more than I eat. Boy, it's good!

It's supposed to be dry and mid-90's today. I think the pool needs vacuuming again...from the inside!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning Brad! It's hard to imagine being INSIDE a swimming pool right now. Brrrrrr!!
Glad you enjoyed your Bernie Burger! I have no doubt it's delicious!!!!
Have a great day!!!

Happy Friday Eve, Edge! Hope you have a good day!
I am not sure what the plans are for Mother's Day. My Mom passed away 5 years ago and I actually called me MIL to see what/if she wanted to do anything on Sunday but have not heard back from her. Honestly, I would be fine staying home and having a nice dinner since I saw the weather does not look too great at all.

I hope you have a nice Mothers Day - whatever you end up doing!

Happy Friday Eve!! Just work for me today but at least it is a nice day! I am just working today and my daughter has a softball game tonight. Hope you all have a great day!

Have a great day SFM!

Good morning MMC!! Merry Friday Eve! I'm late getting here today! It's been a dreary/drizzly/chilly morning!! Yesterday's 80º spoiled us!!!

Boss had some computer issues this morning, which is always a treat! Other than that, not much going on around here today!

Last night I made Chow Mein Noodle Candy, Peanut Butter Haystacks, & Choc. PB Haystacks for the wedding. This was a last minute decision as my sister was worrying we didn't have enough. Now with all the cookies, mini pineapple upside down cakes, cupcakes, Oreo Balls (which Emma helped me dip last night) & cupcakes, we will have over 900 pieces of sweets to choose from. I say when they are gone, they are gone! I'm not making anymore! LOL!

Everyone, have a great day!!!

Wow...that is a lot of desserts and they all sound delicious...I bet you will have more than enough!
Have a great day, Holiday!

Been there many times as a kid. We went about 10 years ago, and it's a pale comparison to its former self. Still, it was fun for nostalgia's sake!

My sister forgot something for work this morning so I had to go and get it and take it to her. So I let Ella get out of the house and ride along-

Another dreary day here. I'm trying to take advantage of it though by doing all my laundry up before it heats up next week. I need to scrub the kitchen too and figure out what to make for Mother's Day before I go to the store tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!

I hope so! Like I said, when they're gone, they're gone! I think there are around 280 coming to the wedding.
Hope you are having a great day too!
