Sorry to be so late today (no, Binger, I was not asleep) but the "server" kept telling me it was "too busy" and I could not get on!

Days to the Season: 47
Days to Christmas Day: 89.
Days to the 90% Season Milestone:10.
(Wow! Single digits tomorrow!)

A nice 70 degrees outside with some clouds.
Chance of more rain today. (We had some light rain yesterday.)

Have a Stupendous Saturday, everyone.
And I hope your Weekend is off to a Wonderous start!

Don't forget to keep that Christmas song in your heart and the spirit of the Season with you this weekend!

Wow! I was typing as you posted.
Had not heard about Paul Newman! Sad.

Good Morning Everyone... Well I browsed around the farmers market today. Sounds as if they all hope to be there next weekend and then that will be it. A cloudy day here today with the hi being in the 70's. Looks as if we may start getting some cooler temps. and rain by next weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Christmas friends.

Another beautiful walking-weather-day! (Although about a 30% chance of rain is present. We had some yesterday evening, but not until after dark.)

Days to the Season: 46
Days to Christmas Day: 88.
Days to the 90% Season Milestone: 9. (Single Digits!)

Hey! The "A Christmas To Remember" annual Christmas shop just opened this week at Crabtree Valley mall.
You know what that means!
Time to launch my annual "Christmas Blossoms" thread.
Will be posting it shortly, with a pix or 2 of the shop.

Have a Super Sunday, guys!
Rest up to begin moving another week closer to the Season.
And as Dom pointed out, October comes on Wednesday.
......And that means the holiday season is almost here!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Annette · Sep 28, 2008

Good Morning. Lovely day here...hi will be 70. The leaves are changing color more and more everyday. While driving home last night I had noticed 3 houses all decorated for Halloween. Have a good Sunday!

SparkleNana · Sep 28, 2008

Greetings to all! Dom - thank you for reminding us all to relax today, before going into the new week. Sometimes we get so intense... it is good to just relax and enjoy being alive! And enjoy talking Christmas with friends!

AuntieMistletoeDear · Sep 28, 2008

:hello: Hurray, Crown! I'll try to scout around more and take some photos to add to your annual "Christmas Blossoms" thread.

:tree:

Honestly, I'm not very impressed with the local decorations at malls and stores, but I'm hoping for better this year.
