Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Holiday]

Good Morning and YAY for double digit countdowns!!! Yesterday I picked up a few small Christmas gifts for my little guy, love when you can find things on his wish list in the clearance section. Today I will be busy making and canning apple butter. Some will be used as Christmas Gifts and well the rest for us Also going to make and can more apple pie filling and applesauce. Once those are done my canning will be done for the year. Well better get off of here and get busy. Have a great day!

Good Morning, Day-After Friends.

Yep. In case you were away or just not paying attention yesterday, we passed a major Milestone marker, the 100-day Christmas Day Window.

Which, of course, leads into this:
Days to the Season: 57
Days to Christmas Day: 99

And let me tell you, seeing that "99", and realizing that now BOTH of our counts consist of double digits, is as exciting as reaching the 100-day point. Perhaps even more so!
(Now, things will really start to move quickly, Folks!)


Still warm but not uncomfortable, thanks to the lower humidity.
We had lots of sun yesterday and are predicted to get plenty more today, with highs in the 80's.
Right now, it is 70 degrees under calm, sunny skies here in the central part of North Carolina.

Can the Panthers win against Buffalo this afternoon? We will start to find out at 1:00 PM!


Have a Super Sunday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown! 99 days really hits me as to how close we're getting!

Glorious day, yesterday. Hobby Lobby and pizza, just like we planned. Then....

Both little ones woke up about 3:00 a.m. terribly sick. Their Mom followed about an hour later....

I've got a fever and I'm fighting, so say a prayer or two for us....

Ohh..I love apple butter!! I never tried it until I had moved north. I believe I had seen it before in Waffle Houses or a House of Pancakes in the lil jelly tubs.

Yes, just if the weather would turn to fall it would be that more closer

Love milestones, but this one brings Christmas on way to fast. Love the anticipation of Christmas and all that leads up to its coming.

I agree Rennabelle! Love the anticipation the most! So glad to savor it with you and the MMC crew!

Morning!
Happy Milestone to everyone! Wow 100 days!! Can't believe it!

Just a quick check in as I am rushing off to work soon. I will reply to posts tonight or morning.

@Holiday thank you for thinking of us. We are fine on this end and friends close to area are all okay too. I don't even have words anymore The city centres are inundated with uniformed officers and military on patrol. Hard to put at back of your mind but life has to go on.

Have a great day all. Hope to catch up a little more soon.

Have a great one FS! Thinking of you. It's not easy to have things like that happen around us. Glad you're here to celebrate with us and find happy thoughts with us.

Good Morning MMC !!

its morning again.....going to pick up my girls around 9:30, head off to church then home for a nice Sunday brunch together. Not much else planned for today. might head down to the river and go for a walk. They are having dragon boast races this weekend.

Penny is wanting her breakfast so I guess I will head down to the kitchen and get it for her.

hope you all have a great day !!

Have a GREAT one CS!!

Good Sunday morning! I awoke at 5am but managed to fall back asleep and stay in bed until 7am. I can tell this day is going to be a real scorcher, it's already 24°C/75°F with the humidity and it should reach 33°C/91°F by midday. Getting laundry out of the way early so it can hang outside to dry and then we have to go grocery shopping.

I have to say that It was a good movie, as long as I closed my eyes during the scary/intense parts. The test for me was if i would be able to sleep last night and I did, with no Pennywise the clown dreams. No movie on deck today but surely continuing to watch Homeland season 6 in our air conditionned bedroom after our errands are done. Have a wonderful day everyone!

I would not be able to sleep watching that!! Hope you have a good night's sleep tonight!!

Morning MMC! Today we expect a high of 79 under partly to mostly cloudy skies and the chance of a shower. Saturday felt very summery. The forecast was wrong as they said mostly cloudy but the sun was out most of the day. Had to run my a/c some last night. Just a relaxing Sunday today with a few errands. Trying not to go too crazy today. Rollins decided he wanted to get up early on a Sunday but during the week when I have to get up early he wants to sleep. Go figure! Have a great day!

We've got our AC going here too. Soon enough it'll be off and the heat will be on! Have a great evening!

Merry Sunday MMC ~
I hope everyone is well and has a beautiful day!

I agree with you, Crown! Just enjoying every second of it and soaking it in because these days will get shorter, the nights and mornings chillier, the holidays more plentiful before we even know it. Have a wonderful evening!
