Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Another used - to - er - was Don Pablo's, 20 minutes south of the previously discussed store, is being gutted for repurpose, also.

The Hallmark store that dropped out of the Gold Crown program, last year, is completely no more...

Have a great day, HMG....such a dreary morning here too!

Somewhere along the line Lucy wound up with 2 new elk antlers over the weekend. 1 of them our neighbor gave her b/c their dog doesn't like them. But a 2nd one showed up in our trailer...Hmmm! She's a thief!
I hope you & Rocky have a good day!

Thank you both!
Holiday that’s too funny about Lucy the antlers. I gave Rocky a little antler when we first brought him home. Now that I’m thinking about it, I haven’t seen it in awhile. I’ll have to take a look around and see where the little stinker put it!

Too funny! Lu loves her elk antlers!

A late post from me.

I have a bereavement day for tomorrow. I am currently in Sault Ste. Marie, and will be flying back to Ottawa in the morning. As I have mentioned before, one of the reasons for my love of Christmas - my grandmother - passed away on December 20th (2017). We just had her memorial on Saturday. It was a sad experience. She's finally been put to rest with my grandfather. She is at peace, and I like to believe that we are all at peace knowing that they are finally together on earth and wherever else they may be.

Fittingly, I had a dream about Christmas last night, too. I dreamt that everything was so close to Christmas and I hadn't heard or listened to a Christmas song yet. It's kind of a reoccurring theme of mine. I have the dream a lot, but it's always different. This time, my whole family was around and we were sitting at my grandparents' old house. I don't recall if they were there or not, but it allowed me to awake with a smile on my face.

Losing my grandmother hurts, but I will forever have fond memories of her, especially at Christmas. She helped foster this love that I have now and can share with all of you.

My heart aches for you, friend. Losing loved ones is tough, but you are already clinging to the gifts and memories that your grandmother left behind. I wish I had words or advice...I don't. I just know that the memories have helped me in the past few months....and those mean more to me than anything. Prayers, friend. I'm thinking of you...

My sympathies go out to you and all of your family for the loss of your grandmother. Yes, they are in a much happier place right now; together.

You did good! Our AC has been on since April!

Once ours is on, it stays on! Allergies! It's probably not running much today!

Yup, pretty much the same here too! It's been on since the beginning of May and it will most likely remain on till beginning of October. Allergies are a killer with us as well.

Finally cooled off a bit after the rain we had last night. This whole week is supposed to be in the high teens (mid to high 60s in fahrenheit), so it will be bearable. Feeling a bit anxious today as the FIL will be moving in with us. He's in his eighties and having bouts of dementia. So we thought it best that he stay with us. Spent most of the weekend getting his space ready. There's a separate living area and bathroom, so he'll have his own space. Fingers crossed all will go well.

I hope it all goes well for all of you. Bless you for doing what your doing; it's a very good thing.

Hmmmm, that's interesting, the Hallmark near us, closed a couple of weeks ago too.
And we had a Bertucci's restaurant closed near us as well. I think they closed 5 of their restaurants in Connecticut. I heard they claimed chapter 11.

Morning MMC! At least it's not Monday they say. It was a hectic Monday and should be Tuesday as well. Just that time of the month at work. But I rather have it that way than to be bored. It is beautiful out this morning and hope it will continue. Rollins was acting extra crazy Monday. I'm not sure why but I'm glad it's Tuesday now lol. Have a great day!

I can’t find Rockys antler anywhere, I’ll have to pick up another. I was looking at pictures last night and found this one, can’t belueve how much bigger he is already!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!
We’re starting out with sunshine today but we have showers/storms moving in later this afternoon. Woke up a bit headachey but I’m feeling better already. I need to straighten up the house and start laundry as soon as I finish my cup of coffee. I’ll be running errands this morning, I have to go to the bank, post office and pick up a few things at the supermarket. Dinner will be tacos. I guess that’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Good Morning, Everybody!

We move on boldly into the week, the first full one in June, advancing rapidly on summer which begins on June 21, just 16 days from now.
But well before then, we will arrive at the 200-Day Christmas Day Milestone marker which is now only 3 days away. That's LESS THAN HALF A WEEK up ahead.
(Wowzers, Guys!)

Days to the Season: 161
Days to Christmas Day: 203

Yesterday was really quite comfortable, with the humidty down significantly and the temperatures moderate. No rain, either.
Today should see us into the mid 80's with a near zero precipitation chance.
This second day of the work week has dawned here in central NC at 65 degrees.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks!

Awwww he looked adorable, the antler looks so big next to him. I can’t believe I never knew you could give antlers for dogs to chew on. Hope you have a great day HMG!

Good morning MMC!! Merry Tuesday! Not much going on today besides work. We're supposed to get some rain...although we were supposed to have rain already this morning & so far it's missed us - again! It's a dark & dreary morning, so maybe we'll still get some!

Everyone, have a great day!!

Thank goodness for AC!!
