Well I can understand how you feel!
Brent I am so pleased to hear that all went well for you and Kim. Congratulations to you both and I wish you both all the happiness in the world! That is a truly stunning photo, even better knowing the inner joke. Best wishes from my family to yours.Good morning, everyone.
I have time to post! I think everything is finally starting to wind down. Kim and I just have to tie up a few loose ends and everything should be back to normal.
Yep. Our wedding is over. Saturday was a very surreal day. Everyone was smiling, the food was excellent, the music was fantastic, the ceremony was very short and to the point. I don't think we could have asked for anything more. On top of this, the weather was 39C (102F) with humidex! Thankfully, we were able to hide in the shade for most of the day.
Our photographer was fantastic and even caught one of my favourite moments of the day so perfectly. Kim and I walked back down the aisle together to Todd Rundgren's "Bang The Drum All Day." A different choice of song, I know, but it's something that only Packers fans would get... Kim is also a Packers fan (so is her brother and mom), as with my entire family. A few years ago, I asked if we could walk down the aisle to the Packers touchdown song (Bang The Drum...). She said agreed it would be pretty cool. Anyway, most people were slightly confused or unaware of their song choice... In the photo (below), my friend Luke couldn't believe our song choice. He thought it was perfect and had a massive smile on his face as we passed him. Carley (our photographer) captured the moment perfectly. It should be noted that Luke is a Steelers fan, but a huge football fan and familiar with mostly everything Packers.
What a day. Now, I'm excited to focus on everything Christmas. I really need to get back on my game!
Wow those are so beautiful HMG!
Morning MMC! Where is September going? Can't believe we only have 4 days left of this great month yet the greatest 3 months are still to come. We have another warm 85 degree day here expected under partly sunny skies with the chance of a shower later today. Our weather guy said it's possible this will be the warmest day we see until next spring. That's pretty crazy to think about but somewhat realistic as it's rare to get this warm during October and beyond. How's everyone's week going so far? I'm starting to slowly think about the weekend. Right Holiday? Have a great day!
Merry Wednesday and Happy Pines Day!
We are warm here with the return of summer like temps this week. It got to 20C yesterday ! We didn't even hit that in August! I am enjoying it while it lasts and making the most of the dry weather.
It is incredible to think October is only 3 days away after today! It's the month I look forward to most all year. It feels like it's the start of everything. The anticipation of all to come is such a great feeling knowing it is within reach and blossoming everywhere and on the minds of everyone else too. So exciting!
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning MMC !!
lots of small things to get done around here. With fall rally next month, aprons to sew and vacuuming to do. Going out for lunch with a friend as well.
Our temps are supposed to be going down to actual fall temps starting today. It will only feel like 30c (86 f) !
Penny wants her breakfast
so I guess I should head down to the kitchen.
have a great day everyone !!!

Good Wednesday morning! I'm working the afternoon/evening shift for the next two days. I'll have to go in Saturday for half a day to train new hires, so I'll work only half a day on Friday. One last day of high humidity and temps should be back to normal tomorrow. My in-laws who have been on vacation through the Canadian Rockies going to Vancouver escaped the worst of this heat wave and will be back sometime tonight. Hope everyone will have a great day!
What an amazing show. He played for over three hours without taking a break. Billy Joel ended up joining him on stage for a couple of songs. Great crowd. One of the most enjoyable concerts I've been to.
Thank you so much <3

Good morning MMC ~
Happy Pines Day!
It's going to be cloudy today, chance of a shower with highs near 80 degrees. We got in pretty late last night, thankfully there isn't too much going on. I don't think I have to run any errands which is good. I have to do a few loads of laundry & clean the bathrooms. Dinner will be chicken piccata, roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach. We missed the This is Us premiere because we were at the concert last night so we'll catch up with that later this evening. I guess that's about it. Hope everyone is well. Wishing all of you a great day!

Good Morning, Everyone!
My, My! The air smells so fresh and clear this moring.
And darned if I don't detect the faint odor of blossoms.
<< What kind of blossoms, Crown? >>
Seasonal ones, little voice. Seasonal ones.
The count status:
Days to the Season: 47
Days to Christmas Day: 89
In just TEN days now, we will reach the NINETY PERCENT point and enter the long-awaited and ultra-exciting Home Stretch run up to the start of Christmas Season 2017!
Yes, single digits from tomorrow and all the fun and excitement begins as we advance on November 13.
Two more days to go until the start of promised fall-like weather this Friday, with temps in the low to mid 70's and low humidity.
(Sounds like heaven!)
For now, we begin this mid-week day at 72 degrees here in the capital city of North Carolina.
Well, now. Can this really be the last 'Pines Day of September?
The calendar says so, therefore I will not dispute it, but it just seems to have arrived too soon.
Regardless, Carl says everything is ready for this evening's open house and that the latest fired twinkies batch turned out extra good.
And funny thing. There are so many flowers at the 'Pines today for some reason. Blossoms everywhere. Mysterious.
Wonder what Carl is trying to say??
Well, while we try to figure that one out, you have a Wonderful Wednesday Folks, OK?

Thanks Crown! Hard to believe we'll be heading towards 90%!
Another day off the countdown! Have a great day everybody!
Most specialty beers are small local brewers. We have a big supply of "cottage industry" brewers atm, a coffee house I visit when I get to a nearby town has a huge supply of specialty beers to pick from. I will have to look for the cherry flavor.
I love everything!!
Looks great...I love fall decorations!
Have a great day, Festive!!
Oh wow...that must have been an awesome show!
This is Us was good...I am so happy it is back on. Such a great show!
Happy Hump Day!! Just work for me today and I am going to go to the grocery store later and need to catch up on laundry tonight. I was at Dollar General last night and saw a few Christmas items! Hope you all have a great day! How is it we are almost into October?

Saw a couple more Halloween-bedecked houses ... one with a couple of GIANT spiders clinging to the outside. The local stores are bursting with Halloween candy and decor. Once October 1 arrives, I expect even more Halloween to appear all over!
I'm not a huge Halloween fan, but seeing the decor and the candy is a reminder that the first holiday of the holiday season is only a month away!
