I just realized as I put on my jacket b/c it's cold in here - the A/C is running & the windows are open!

Morning all!! My lack of posts can be attributed to a idea I had to build a scale model of Bag End. The endeavor ended today with a crash, so its on the back burner. Luckily I was able to salvage interior pieces and the figures and most of the furniture. The whole Hobbit hole is ruined....

That's good news about your mother's hip not being fractured. Sounds like you will enjoy a nice get togetjer tonight to celebrate Emma's upcoming nuptials and her last day with your family. Your CIJ party sounds fun as well.
Love hearing about Gracie and her friend Katie. Enjoy your day Holiday.

Thank you, it was a great show. They played classical pieces found in movies. And they played two modern movie classics: My Heart Will Go On from Titanic and Star Wars (that was my favourite!). I want to see the MSO in a more traditional setting in the future. People just kept walking and kids playing all over the place, it took me out of it at times. But such a lovely evening outside.

Happy Rudolph Day and Happy CIJ!!! -reindeer-

I'm out of town for 2 days for work and I'm sure I'm going to receive my first complaint at the front desk at the hotel regarding volume and content of music and merry news bulletings.

I'm indulging in a few merry podcasts without the "shhh-es" from my husband while he's trying to concentrate on the news or sports. (Just dawned on me that I should spend more time on the balcony outside with my tablet when I want to hear Christmas tunes in the "off-season".

I started off with a re-run of the story behind Rudolph and it's been all a spoonful of merry since then.

Picked up a surprise CIJ gift for a co-workers son. Last June, he trekked with me around the Relay for Life track. He only turned 4 in April and is going to kindergarten in the Fall.
He had quite the stride on him; walked more like a soldier marching. He collected a bead every lap and wound up filling his flexi-lace with 27 beads - that's more than some of the other people were able to do. The young lads grandma passed away from cancer before she met her grandson. He stayed until midnight and was a bit sad when it was time to go.

A few times we encouraged adults to "get up" and would say, "Hop to it!" So, I picked up a leap frog game. I remember buying a similar toy for my grandson when he was little, but it was bunnies that hopped into a bucket when you pressed their ears down. This game has frogs of different colours that leap into the bucket. I wanted to surprise him and reward him for being a good little trekker. Already wrapped up with Candy Cane paper ready to deliver on Thursday.

And, hey, Brad - congrats on those 5 years! -mistletoe-

P.S. I had Turkey Pot Pie the other night 'cause I needed a turkey fix.


Keep a merry thought in your head everyone! -merry-

Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!! It looks like another beatufiul day, though a bit warmer than the last 2. A high of 84 is predicted, not bad for July!

Tonight we are having pizza on Moms deck to celebrate Emma! It should be a nice night for that! :)

Mom ended up having her hip x-rayed yesterday. Thankfully it's not fractured, but it does show a change in her arthritis. So happy it's not broke or fractured!

I have decided for our CIJ party on Saturday I am going to make a Smoked Maple Barbecue Turkey. I've never tried this before, so hopefully it turns out good! xx If not, we'll order pizza. Ha ha! The balance of our meal includes dressing, noodles, buckeyes, mashed potatoes/gravy, jello jigglers (Christmas shaped), green bean casserole, 7 layer salad, & brownies. Also my rum balls & egg nog! What a FEAST!!

Other than that, not much else going on. The girls (aka Gracie & Katie) are still having a ball together! It's fun having Katie over. I gave up trying to separate their food. I've been mixing it together & they are both eating! Gracie needs to eat! Katie could afford to lose a few pounds :p Gracie doesn't!

Everyone, have a great day!!

I'm still celebrating... :D

Glad you hear your mom doesn't have any broken bones! Nancy's mom broke her wrist a couple weeks ago, and it makes it that much harder to help her around the house.

Morning MMC! Again it feels more like September out than July but nothing wrong with the 3 day break we've gotten here. No extreme heat in the forecast the rest of this week which is fine by me. I felt a little tired yesterday at work. I guess that I've had too many long weekends this summer. 2 weeks from today I'll be out again the Thursday/Friday for a 4 day final break in summer before we hit Labor Day. My mom saw her 1st signs of Halloween in the store yesterday! Hope you all are having a great mid-week. See you at the Pines!

I found some Fall/Halloween and even some Christmas at Hobby Lobby not too long ago. Nice!

It's always cold in here. Walking outside this morning I almost felt cold cause it was in the 50s and not used to that. Of course, get to work and the a/c is blasting making it colder.

I turned off the A/C! The boss is out mowing now - love that sound/smell! :)
