Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Morning MMC. Happy May Pines Day! It was perfect here yesterday and today will be warmer. Low 80s and sunny. Just taking it all in. Ran in shorts this morning. Felt good. Been too long to have this weather. Other than that just a regular work day. Rollins is loving this weather too. Hope you are all having a good week thus far!

Glad to hear Rollins likes this weather. Lucy would prefer cold & snowy. She doesn't seem to be a warm weather dog at all. Gracie really wasn't either!
Have a good day!

Good morning ~
Merry Pines Day!
It’s going to be sunny and warm today with temperatures in the mid 70’s. I’ll definitely get out side to enjoy the weather with Rocky. I may take a ride to a local park to take a walk. Not sure if that will be too much for Rocky so I’ll have to take his stroller. Other than that it will be a typical day. I’ll run a couple of quick errands when I get the chance and I’ll be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be baked ziti. That’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day. See you tonight!

Enjoy your time outside!! Love this weather!! Have a great day!

Good Wednesday morning! Temperatures will rise above 20°C/70°F today but the skies are grey and threatening rain and it's windy. I have the day off to attend a brunch thrown for all employees in our district who have been with the company for 5-10-15-20 years. I'm celebrating my 20th year (technically later this month), I have no idea where time has gone. I had to take medication this morning to try and contain my cold symptoms, I hope it doesn't knock me out like it did on Sunday afternoon. At least I will be home early to rest. Hope everyone will have a great day!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy your lunch & your day off today!!

Good Morning, Comrades of the Christmas Persuasion!

And there is nothing that persuades us more that Christmas is well on its way than our steady march of Milestone markers.

Let's look at the daily numbers, then we can tackle the pending Milestones.
Days to the Season: 195
Days to Christmas Day: 237

OK. We are now drawing nigh to a truly major marker.
It's the HALF WAY point to the Season.
And it is now LESS than 2 weeks away. A scant 13 days.
(Wowzers, Guys!)

It just keeps getting warmer and warmer. If it wasn't for the still low humidity, it would have felt like summer outside yesterday.
Today is supposed to be even warmer and the weather service says we could potentially hit 90 by tomorrow or Friday.
(OK. Enough is enough. Too early for that kind of heat!)
We have begun this mid-week morning at 62 sunny degrees here in the state capital.

And speaking of mid-week, that means 'Pines Day, of course. And that in turn means that Carl gets his weekly chance to shine. (And that camel LOVES to shine, as we all know!)
Be sure to show up at our inn of choice this evening to see what our friendly and zany activities director has polished up for us.

Until then, each and every one of you have the most Wonderful Wednesday of your lives.
And let the spirit of Christmas motivate you to shine, too!

See you tonight!!!

Happy May everyone!

I haven't posted much, but I've been keeping up to date with everyone. This past Saturday, I was invited to a party, and this is what transpired from it:
View attachment 44035 View attachment 44034
That's my son, Cameron, and his fiance. They are making me a grandfather! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it because I turn 45 in 26 days, but I cannot be any more excited. I normally don't want time to rush by as I get older, but I cannot wait for August 20th to get here.

Elizabeth was my mother's name and Kay is my son's fiance's maternal and paternal grandmother's middle names. I never thought my heart could hold any more love than I have for my children, but what I have now for little Ellie way surpasses that, and she isn't even born yet. My heart is going to explode when she gets here.

Congratulations!! So exciting!

My pups love this weather too....they love basking in the sun and Leo of course loves chasing the ball. Have a good day!

Your right! I actually heard that they (government/ powers that are un-seen in conjunction of tech companies, have invented a chip will be implanted under your skin and it will have your new ID number on it.

That, is one freakishly crazy idea that they have plans to actually do in the near future.

Well, we already do that for our pets ... still, that seems so Big Brother-ish, doesn't it?

 

[MerryCarey]

The temps are supposed to hit the mid to high 80s (F) today---first time it's been over 80 since last October 5. It's a bright, sunny, summery day! I dusted off the ice shaver so we can have some shave ice tonight (like a snow cone, but more like snow than crushed ice).

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

I went to Lowe's last night and got a replacement sprayer hose for My Precious pressure washer. I just love my pressure washer! I plan to wash more stuff today!

It's another beautiful day here. I hope y'all have a great day!

There were SO many jokes about the ice man that you just can't make about refrigerators.

Never cared much for those gags. They just leave me cold.
