Thanks Minta!
LOL - we have a couple cool days & by Saturday we're back up to 80º! I don't mind a boat ride in October! Hope you are having a great day!

Well, it is uncommon that I get time to visit on a Tuesday. Most of the time, my first visit on the week doesn't happen until Thursday. However, I had to speak at a community event this afternoon and my Mom was my babysitter....and she took off to a town about 30 minutes away to go do stuff with the girls.
No kids....
No wife....
It is eerily quiet....
That makes it the perfect time to look at Christmas stuff!!!!! Has anyone been on one of those Polar Express Train rides? I was curious as to what it is like....

Good morning Minta. I always seem to miss your posts on the day they arrive. Guess our "Daily Clocks" are not on the same zone.
Fall weather is certainly here in the great upper mid-west. I can handle it and I'm even keeping up with those pesky leaves. Enjoy the remainder of your week...
Morning! Looks like today we'll see a high of 72 with afternoon showers. Not the nicest day but not the worst. And we do have a cool down starting at least for a couple of days. Just trying to relax here in Mid-October. It's starting to go too fast already. And I see a lot of Halloween items out now which is awesome. Have a great mid-week Pines Day!
Greetings and welcome to the community. Early indeed! Glad to see another anxious member, but for now, I'll wish you a great week and a nice Halloween...
Hang in there Bear, the words will come. Enjoy the current festivities, but remember the calories come off a lot slower than they go on... lol.
Greetings Edge. A cool day on this end, but Fall is here and so it is also welcome to me. A bit of raking, some hot chocolate and a nap before the work week begins tonight. Have a fun day...
Morning Ballcoach. They have one in Idaho that I have been on a few times when I visit my in-laws. Not very long, but you can also get one where they have a meal fixed at the apex of the ride (outside under a shelter).
Time to look at Christmas stuff? You bet, just went through the Lakeside Collection Christmas edition.
Christmasstar... how are you doing? Looks like you are getting into the Halloween spirit. Out of interest sake does Canada have any Halloween style events that are unique to your wonderful country?
Have a fun day and a better tomorrow...
Good morning all. My short work week begins today. Nice and quiet in the morning hours and I will be out and about just after 8AM to start delivering Zoo Boo Posters around town. That will take up the majority of the morning and should have me tired enough for a nice afternoon nap before the shift is scheduled to start. Not much else on the plate for today. I trust you all have a nice Wednesday and a fantastic end to the week.
Not much into politics between the parties, but this one did bring out a smile from me...

Canada's halloween style would be to make sure kids costumes fit over their snow suits. Generally we get our first snow fall around that time. However, this year I do not think that will be happening. Generally you guys in the States have copied all of our traditions around Halloween.
we do have this giant spider in Ottawa...

Good Morning, Folks!
Hey. Nearly down to one month.
<< Until what, Crown? >>
I think you know, but we will have a refresher course after the presentation of today's numbers.
<< Thanks, Crown. >>
Days to the Season: 33
Days to Christmas Day: 75
And indeed, Friends.
The ONE MONTH mark to Christmas Season 2017 is closing in on us.
That point is just TWO days away, now.
WOW!
Still the heat.
Still the humidity.
Still the daily threat of rain.
(Is this fall or summer? I'm confused!)
Today's installment has again commenced very humid, at 75 degrees here in the capital city.
Carl? He's ready.
The 'Pines? Spic-and-span clean.
The fired twinkies? Hot off the griddle.
The southern iced tea? Sweetened to perfection.
The choice? Do you go or not?
I am. How about you?
And while you decide, please have a Wildly Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown! See you at the Pines!
Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!! The hump day here appears that it's going to be a dreary ol day. We started off at 65º & that's pretty much going to be the high - ok 67º is actually the predicted high! 
It's spitting rain & dark. I don't mean to be a Debbie downer, but this weather makes me feel even worse for our friends who lost their son! I don't care what anyone says, sunshine helps! We went to visit them last night - we were there most of the night. I was "happy" to see how well they are doing. Their younger son worries me the most - he was the only one home when his brother committed suicide - he heard the whole thing. So, so horrible! He's a senior in high school, it's going to take a lot of time. My heart aches for all of them!
And on a much happier note - life DOES go on & tonight we have Miss Emma's pre-wedding party! I'm very excited to see how the Amish host a wedding! My family is meeting at my brothers & we'll all head over at the same time. Looking forward to it!
Everyone, have a Pleasant Pines Day!
