Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Morning ... sitting here enjoying my coffee. Taking my daughter to a job interview in a little while then got to take my mom grocery shopping. Hubby and I are going to dinner and movies tonight ... date night! It's long overdue. Not looking forward to all the rain this weekend. Hope everyone has a great day.

I hope your daughters interview went well!! xx What movie did you see & was it good? Hope you had a great time!

I think you’d have to go to Philadelphia to find scrapple, if you didn’t want to go all the way back to Maryland.

Where I grew up, there was a little shop that sold the second-best country ham on the world, and other pork products. They sold scrapple, but my mom told me I wouldn’t like it, so I’ve never tasted it. I sure miss good country ham, though.

If you want a REALLY weird look, go to a doughnut shop or bakery and ask for kinklings on Shrove Tuesday. Back home even the supermarket bakeries made them. I miss those so badly this time of year! No one outside of my home county ever heard of them.

I still think you need to learn to make kinklings!

Hi everyone!

You won't remember me I'm sure, I only posted a little around the start of November last year. I got too busy with christmas to post but I kept checking in every once in a while, It was nice to see everyone enjoying the season and it helped give me a little extra christmas spirit. Feeling post christmas blues particularly hard today so thought I'd come say hi. Going to try and post regularly, you have a lovely community here. Hope everyone is well.

I hope you have time to post more often...the more the merrier!!

Merry Sunday MMC ~
We’re expecting lots of rain today with highs near 50 degrees. I’m in for the day, don’t plan on going anywhere. My in laws are stopping by later this afternoon to meet Rocky. I’m making pasta with meat sauce and a tomato & mozzarella salad for dinner. Should be a relaxing day.
I hope everyone is well and has a wondeful day!
xx

I hope Rocky wins over the hearts of your in-laws! How could he not! ♥ Have a great day HMG!

Morning MMC! Just a rainy Sunday and by rainy I mean all day and heavy. Good day to relax inside. Did an errand already this morning early and nobody is out. Going to go for a quick run and then just relax all afternoon and evening. Have a great Sunday!

Hope you are enjoying your rainy Sunday!

Good Morning, Folks.
The second half of our weekend has begun.

We have also begun the LAST day of the first QUARTER of our Season count!

The daily figures:
Days to the Season: 275
Days to Christmas Day: 317

And indeed. As alluded to above, the SECOND quarter of our Season count begins tomorrow, Guys.
Can you believe that?
Seems like Christmas Season 2017 just ended such a short time ago and we have already moved so far along toward the 2018 installment!

In spite of some rain, we got all the way up to 66 degrees yesterday, and today we are predicted to reach 72. Very nice indeed for February!
(If things could stay like this, I wouldn't mind winter at all. In fact, it woul be better than true summer because it is minus all the humidity.)
Our current temperature reading here in the capital city is an incredibly balmy 68 degrees but we are under the threat of more rain.

Have a Super Sunday, Everybody!

Seems so crazy we are about to enter the 2nd quarter! Hope you are having a great weekend crown!

Good morning folks.

Freezing rain here in Ohio today. So I will not be leaving the house. I do not want to take my car ice skating.

Yesterday was a bit busy. I ran a bake sale with the National Honor Society yesterday. Henry had a Destination Imagination competition yesterday, and his team won their challenge! So they are headed to the state competition in March. My wife is the coach for the team also.

I do not have much on the to-do list today. A little laundry, a little lesson planning, and drinking coffee (what I do most of the time).

I hope everyone has a great day!

Congrats to Henry!! Enjoy your day inside!!!

Happy Sunday!
Looks like today will be a washout with rain. We have my daughter’s basketball game this morning and then I am in for the rest of the day.
Have a great day!

Hope you are having a great day SFM!

Good morning, friends. Hope all is well in your corner of the world!

Been a busy week. A lot of moving things around and settling into our new reality. Things are well....

The wife, kids, and my Mom all went to eat last night and buy groceries. Good time. Not much on tap today except to cook for the week and clean the house up. Can't watch football, but racing and basketball are on!

Y'all have a good day!

Continued prayers for you coach!!! (((HUGS)))

Merry Sunday!

The snow has finally stopped. It is blowing off the trees, though, so it is quite messy out there at times. There are huge icicles hanging all around the roof. Palmer is sitting in the window, watching a drop of water fall down an icicle. It is very pretty out, but we are in for quite the mess when it starts to melt in a day or so. I spent a good part of the morning making paths for my cats. Sore does not begin to describe how I feel at the moment. I should never have stopped!

Dinner is in the slow cooker (vegetarian Mexican lasagna) so I can take it easy for the rest of the day.

Be safe and merry!

Hope you are feeling better as the day goes on!! xx

Thank you, Holiday! Enjoy the rest of your "Girls' Day" with Lucy! xx

I have a recipe, but it involves deep-fat frying them, like donuts—-I’m not brave enough to tackle that.

Good Sunday late afternoon! It's now raining, so it's getting slippery. Thank goodness I now have crampons for when I take Loki out on his walks. I crashed and napped for a couple of hours this afternoon. I just realized I didn't even have lunch and now I'm starving. I think we will order some thaï food. And then settle in for another evening of watching the Olympics. Hope you all have been enjoying a nice weekend.

Isn’t though? Ohhhhh man, I would love to try that...

When you travel south do you take the NJ Turnpike to Delaware?

I hope your daughters interview went well!! xx What movie did you see & was it good? Hope you had a great time!

She is suppose to hear something this week. We saw 50 shades LOL .. saw the first 2 in the theaters so we had to see the last in the theaters. It was good.

 

[Holiday]

Just FYI, tonight at 8:00 (Eastern) both A Christmas Carol (George C Scott) AND A Preachers Wife (Re-make of The Bishops Wife) are on tv. Ahhhh! Decisions!

You need something like a fry daddy - very easy. Plug it in & go!
