Christmas Countdown - 2018

['Tis the season]

View attachment 46297 Hello friends! I’m back! What an amazing vacation and beautiful weather we had. I’m so glad to be back though in my own bed, drinking my own coffee, and seeing my pup. No place is better than home!

Today is DH and my 10th wedding anniversary and 15 years of being a couple. We plan on going out for dinner tonight.

Not too much planned during the day today. I’ve gotta go to the dentist after lunch. I chipped my front tooth while I was on vacation, so I’ve gotta see what he can do about that for me. I’m going to unpack and maybe try to catch a Hallmark movie. I head back to work tomorrow evening. Boo.

I included a pic of the beach! Hope you all have a great day!

Congrats on the anniversary!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

Tonight is the night! Opening night for The Little Mermaid, and my little mermaid! I've been praying for her, for calmness and fun. I CAN'T WAIT!

I hope y'all have a great day!

I hope it all went well. A star in the making!

Good evening everyone. We are back from a few weeks away on vacation and I looking forward to getting a read through the forums. It's always hard getting back to the grind after a break but I never mind the summer holiday finishing, good as it was, as we all know the best parts of the year are just around the corner.

I bet your home smelled great!!

Glad you are enjoying the cooler weather, too!

Bring on the weekend

What projects will you be working on?

Oh boy did it ever. I got me a slice of one as soon as it came out of the oven, covered the top of it with butter and whipped cream. Oh my was that ever good! (I had to go get a second piece)!!!!

Am I ever. The heat, it like really just like sucks the life right out of me. Especially, when the humidity is also way up there. The Fall, ah yes... is what I love the most. The cooler temperatures, the colors, smells, harvest time and good eats.

I’m so looking forward to the weekend big time. First thing, that I’m not going to do, is set that alarm clock, lol. This weekend I will install all new towel holders and tp holders (since the previous homeowners were so kind to steal the ones that were in the house. And then they spackled over the holes and painted over them).
Then, we bought a new grill and I am going to assemble it and break it in this weekend. I also got grass to cut, replace a couple of GFI’s, and more.

Hoping the rain holds off this weekend so as to get the outside work done. I want to start sealing up the outside of the house to prepare for the coming winter.

Yum...I love banana bread!!
Have a great Thursday.

Oh me too! My grandmother used to make that, and these peach and apple cakes that were out of this world good. I have her original cookbook, I’m planning on opening it up and looking for those recipes.

You have a Good Friday and a great weekend SFM.

The weekend is here, the weekend is here....

Amen to that Coach!!!!

 

[xmastidings]

I bet your house smelled awesome!! Hope it turned out well!
Sometimes staycations are the best!!!
Have a great day!!

Oh yea, I could smell them baking throughout the whole house. I don’t think they were out of the oven for a minute and I was already into them.

Staycations, I’m with you! Sometimes, I’d just rather do that then go traveling.

 

[xmastidings]

I'm with you ... vacation's over, July Fourth is over, and that only leaves the weekend right now to look forward to for leisure.

I know... i myself, I’m going to make a few of those weekends, a three day weekend.

I agree with you: there is no place like home!

Good Morning, Ever-Excited Eve Enjoyers!

Yes, indeed-a-rino.
It is once again Weekend Eve.
And once again, we settle down at our comfy computer desks to read all about the latest countdown data release.

Well OK, then:
Days to the Season: 116
Days to Christmas Day: 158

And the 100-Day Season Milestone?
Well, that's only 16 days away, now. Practically down to TWO WEEKS, as the year slowly drains away.

Pretty pleasant here yesterday for mid July, with reduced humidity and temperatures that stayed below 90. No rain, either. (I got that lawn mowed yesterday evening!)
Today will see us in the mid-80's but with a 50/50 chance of precipitation.
This day-before-the-weekend has dawned here at 72 degrees.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And an outstanding Weekend Eve!

Happy Friday all. Family is visiting from across the pond, so we're going out for lunch. Then they're off to see the sights in New York.

It's been a quiet couple of days here. The FIL, with his dementia, now believes that he's been in this house before and he was offered a job here when he was younger. Neither has happened, but we know to go along with the illusion. No need to confuse him.

The weather is finally cooling down, but still not enough for my liking. I heard that as you get older your body has a harder time cooling itself. Maybe when I'm finally retired I'll just put myself on the next iceberg.

Enjoy the beginning of the weekend all.

Morning MMC! I need a weekend bad lol. Work has really been so stressful the last 6 weeks I am starting to feel it inside. Not good. I'm leaving on time today no matter what I haven't gotten done. And next week I work 3 days and then am off Thursday thru Sunday. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend? Have a great Friday!
