Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

The Menards in Tipp City does the Enchanted Forest. Lots of trees with beautiful lights and a path through them. It sits in the middle of the store where they usually have summer furniture.

If I get down that way, I will have to check it out!

Hello all,

Not much going on today really. I think Henry and I going to go to the pond in the neighborhood and do a little fishing. We usually go quite a bit in the summer but this year we have not gone as much.

Tomorrow my wife and I are going to a Blues Festival with my dad and his wife. It is the Bacon Blues and Brew in Batesville Indiana. The big attraction is a younger blues star, Samantha Fish. She is really good and is getting more and more attention, so my dad really wants to see her before she stops playing festivals and smaller venues. The weather is supposed to be quite nice, sunny, low humidity, and 70s.

Nathan and a friend of his went up to Cedar Point Amusement Park today. He is trying to make the most of his extra week. lol

Everyone have a great day!

Sounds like a nice weekend! Enjoy the festival!
I hope Nathan has fun at Cedar Point!!
Have a great weekend!

I forgot to mention, Lulu got herself in a bit of trouble last night. She destroyed a whole 6-roll pack of Charmin in the bathroom! LOL I don't know what she was thinking, but Nancy flipped out. Lulu spent the night in the mud room!

Good morning, y'all...

Kinda of going through some bittersweet times. We are getting ready to demolish our old high school and my Mom is moving out of the house I grew up in....life is changing...and even as an adult, that can be pretty tough.

We spent last night taking down Mom's Department 56 Dicken's Village and her North Pole Collection. We put them in a box...and she gave them all to me. The hours I spent looking at those over the years around Christmas is amazing. I knew she was going to let me have the North Pole, but not Dicken's Village. My favorite is a piece where Scrooge is standing outside of the place where he danced with his girlfriend...there are moving pieces inside of it. We plugged it up and Bambina just sit and looked....amazed.

More of the same today. Right now, I'm sitting on the deck in 70 degree weather drinking coffee and have my fan on...it sure is pleasant. Y'all have a good day!

Keeping you in my thoughts, coach.

How wonderful about the village collection, I can tell how much it means to you and I know that you and your family will cherish it.
I can just picture Bambina~
Is the piece Fezziwig's Holiday Dance?

Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate!! Have a wonderful time with them!! Xo

She was thinking party time!! Sorry-I’m trying not to laugh
Hope all is forgiven, you can’t stay mad at that sweet face for long I’m sure!
Hugs to Lulu, from Har & I.

Good Afternoon, friends!!

It’s been a crazy morning here~ So glad that this work week is almost over. I need a break.

Jazzie was sick again this morning. Adrian slept in the living room with her so I could get some better sleep.
My parents are nearby, visiting a friend. They will be at the house by the time I get home from work. It’ll be great to see them, and hear about their trip.

What are your weekend plans?

We are catching up with Mom & Dad tonight, making dinner at the house. Tomorrow night, we are taking them out to dinner to celebrate their 50th anniversary. And then if it’s nice, take the girls for a walk down by the river. They haven’t seen the new park since it’s been completed.
Sunday will be a day of catching up around the house.

That’s about it for me, going to go grab some lunch and head back to the office for a few hours.

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!!

Oh, I'm a sucker for the face she makes when I'm in my recliner. She puts her face between the cushions and makes her eyes as big as she can. LOL, she knows what she's doing!

 

[Meceka]

Interesting. I've never heard of anything like this ever. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

Thank you both!

You're welcome!

Hope everyone is having a great Friday evening. Not too much on tap for the weekend, which is just the way I like it! Making baked lemon pepper cod and baked potatoes for dinner. We are going to break out the smoker and smoke two large pork shoulders Sunday. Then we food save them into meal sized packages and into the freezer they go! I love having the option of smoked pork sandwiches in the winter time!! Hope everyone has a great Friday night!
