Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Bradmac]

TGIF, Christmas friends!

It's another BEAUTIFUL day here in southeast Georgia! We're still trying to decide if we should stay or go. It's tracking a little west of us now, but who know where it'll be by Sunday morning. Still deciding...

I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning and Happy Friday!
It's going to be a beautiful day, sunny with a high of 74 degrees. I have a chiropractor appointment this morning. I'm going to stop at the butcher afterward. Other than that I'll be working on my daily chores. My mother is stopping by this afternoon to visit as well. I'm getting the girls pizza for dinner and I have a marinated steak out for my hubby. Thats about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Lol..I never seem to have enough counter space for an electric opener. I havent owned one in probably 15 years, and I figure by the time I dig one out,plug it in,open a can,put it away...I just lost 5 minutes.

I was used to an electric opener, but Mr. always preferred the manual type, so that's what we use, too!

Good morning MMC !

i get to be on a computer for awhile !!!
Oh how I have missed you all.
Still off work, hoping in a week the doctor will approve my return, although she only wants me to do 2 hour shifts for the first few weeks.
At least I am getting some canning and cleaning done.
Amazing the way the Lord had looked after us with $ for bills, people dropping off fresh items for me to process and can.
Our fall fair s coming up in 2 weeks and I have a few things to enter in that. LittleCS is also working on some lovely crafts to enter. I am entering canned and baked items. (I know, that surprised you right ! LOL)

Hope you are doing well, hope to be able to get on the computer more often now

Have a fantastic day !!!

Hi Star....hope all is well and good to see you!!

Stay safe, Brad...no matter what you all decide to do. I just watched the latest update and poor FL...breaks my heart.

Happy Friday, MMC!! Another work week almost done. Just work today and my daughter has her first soccer game today so I will be going to that at 4pm. We have plans tomm night to go out to dinner with some friends. Sunday should be pretty quiet. Last night I was in Dollar General and I saw 2 big Santas on display so they must be getting ready to take out the Christmas stuff...yay!! Hope you all have a great day and weekend!!

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday!!! YAY!! It's another chilly/cloudy morning! Just work for me this morning & then I'll be heading to spend a good portion of the weekend with Mom. There are a few ladies coming to relieve me at different times so I can go to a Fall open house at a country craft store, I'll go watch the Buckeyes at the lake tomorrow night & there is a lady who comes at noon on Sundays & stays until Marie (Amish caregiver) comes on Monday morning. Hopefully mom is having a good weekend & we can snuggle in & watch something festive on tv!

Everyone, have a wonderful FRIday!!

Here are pics from the craft store we are going too - these are from 2015:

See why I don't want to miss this open house??

Love the picture. Enjoy your steak.

Thank you! Our steaks were delicious!!! Complimented with potatoes & corn on the cob from the garden. YUM-O!

Signs of the season!

A) Hallmark has their Halloween merchandise out.

B) So does Rite-Aid!

Very exciting!!!

When our electric can opener died a couple of years ago, we bought a manual one and have never gone back.

When we bought our park model at the lake a friend gave me a manual Kitchen Aid can opener as a house warming gift. I love it so much when my electric can opener at home went out, I bought another manual KA!

Morning MMC! Happy Friday! Glad it's almost the weekend. Even 4 day weeks seem long enough to me! A week into the Bers and I can see the changes really starting to happen. More and more Halloween stuff out in the stores. I have plans for this weekend on Sunday going to my Uncle's. Saturday should be a typical errands day. Today will be work and then relaxing. It's going to be a beautiful day at 72 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Perfect September weather. Hope you all are doing well as we head towards the weekend!

It sure is feeling more & more like fall! Have a great weekend ~ have fun at your uncles!

 

[Holiday]

That's exactly what I said! We too are in the path of Irma it seems (SC close to GA) and I thought heading to Cherokee, NC would be a good idea if it came down to it.

Stay safe!!!

So nice to see you CS!! Continued prayers for your healing! It sounds like you have kept busy!! The good Lord & people are amazing! Take care friend!

Thanks for all the comments on my list making / preparation.
I have a disease called Menieres (think of unbearable vertigo, nausea, tinnitus, light sensitivity and ear fullness) which rears its ugly head when I get stressed so I figured the best way to avoid it happening at Christmas is to be as prepared as I can be. Hence the lists

Im also into my own single digit countdown until our little newbie Nicki comes home. We had a call from the lady who has her that because of her size , her litter mates have been picking on her a bit and shes been bullied away from mum at meal times so we are picking her up on the 14th when she is 7 weeks old. She is still tiny and is by far the runt but she will be well loved. I have the 14-18th off and then my MIL has offered to puppy sit her when I am in work for my shift (I only work 3hrs at a time though) so she will get to settle and the kids will be with her.

Husband has put his back out so have him laid up on the sofa today smelling of Deep Heat, and so any Christmas prep has taken a backseat today but I have found my daughters old Christmas list which Im going to price up today.

Hope all of you affected by Irma are ok, stay safe!

So exciting for Nicki to come home!! Sorry to hear she's being picked on - the big bullies! (((HUGS))) to her! I hope she holds her own until the 14th when she will be so loved!!
Prayers for quick healing for your hubby!
Have a great day!

Happy Friday Friends! Boy is the weather fall-like here. Time to switch out the wardrobe and decorate for fall today with my husband! I'm really excited. Just have to get through work. Also, at noon, Mike on WLQT-DB out of Dayton, OH is flipping their online radio station to all Christmas music at noon today! Really feels like the changes are coming quickly now. Taking the time to enjoy every second!!!

Thanks for the heads up about WLQT-DB switching to Christmas.! So exciting!! Have a great day DYHWIH!
