Good morning to everyone.
I could just go for one of scoobie's turkey sandwiches for breakfast!

Dont get me going on turkey sandwiches again!! cheesy

The old Crown is slipping - forgot to post the count yesterday!
(Not enough sleep, I guess. Or maybe those coffee fumes are affecting me)
No matter. The count will just drop by 2 today!

Days to the Season: 302
Days to Christmas Day: 344
(Two days to Milestone #1!)

Colder yet. We were at 25 this morning......and the precipitation is still predicted for tomorrow. We just don't know its form, yet.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.
It's the "peak of the week". From this summit, you can see all the way to the weekend!

~Mornin'!

I lived in a wonderful fantasy for a short while this morning....woke up thinking it was FRIDAY...tumbled downstairs, made coffee, turned on the computer and read these words from Crownster's Countdown...from this summit, you can see all the way to the weekend"...POP!! My fantasy bubble disappeared. It's....Wednesday, oh...ok.

A beautiful Wednesday...bright sun, above freezing today.

Hey Scoobe, guess what I'm making this week-end? Does the word GOBBLE mean anything to you? Oh Yum!

YABBA!

~Hey There HOL....WHAT a game last night huh? It was a riveting basketball game, the kind that keeps you pinned to your seat. We would have been toast if Nitzel hadn't kept making those 3 pointers.

(Fox is fine - a little overweight, but fine)

Good evening! It was a beautiful (but cold) day here in Ohio...winter weather supposed to be movin in tonight!!!

Cedar - I didn't get to see any of the game last night, but from what I hear it was a good one (besides the outcome ;-)) Congrats to you on the MSU win!! :smile:

I woke up yesterday & thought for sure it was Friday!! What a let down when you realize "it's only TUESDAY..."

I started watching "Beyond Tomorrow" last night! Anybody ever seen it? So far it's a cute Christmas movie...I'm trying to catch the end tonight! I really need to start movies before 10 PM! Lol!! Sure could use a little snack to go with my movie...turkey sounds good....

Have a great night!!

[scoobie]

Wooo! Happy first milestone everyone! Just 300 days until the season! You know what that means? It means that its just 26 days until the 1/4 way mark! I dont know if it's just me, but it brings a little joy to my morning!!

I suggested to my other half last night that we have a Christmas dinner on the 25th, and she agreed! YAY! Turkey sandwiches after the 25th for meeeee!

Anyhoo, have a good Thursday everyone!

Days to the Season: 301
Days to Christmas Day: 343
The 300-day window is tomorrow. WOW!! We are really moving along!
(A note to our eager reader above. I know the milestone chart says Jan 17 is the 300 mark, but recall that this is a leap year.
Sorry folks, but we have to wait one more day this year.
No matter - an extra day to sleep, dance, hang out under the shispering pines and firs, eat fired twinkies........get zonked out on coffee)

Cold and rainy this morning with the temp at 37 when I left for the office.
The predicted frozen precip did not materialize. Since it was supposed to be freezing rain and sleet, I am happy.
Wouldn't have minded a little snow, however!
And we need the rain - lots of it!

Have a Thrilling Thursday, my friends.
The weekend is just around the corner!

This is Thursday, right? ~Hey you Nutters...Good Morning!

Turkey Feast at my place!! Bingster is bringing the Elvis Special Blend Coffee, Crownster is bringing super FOX, and the Tea, there will be the coldest beer in the cooler and mulled spice wine on the woodstove. I'll make sure there is a barn full of fresh, aromatic sweet alfalfa hay in the barn for sleepy heads zzzzzzz and lots of homemade bread for sandwiches...pumpkin pie, mince pie, chocolate cake. ~You's comin? Be Here....

Or would you rather be at the "Hannah Montana" concert? lol!!


Crownster, Bix is just dandy, he tends to gain weight this time of year too. He can be a very naughty puppy though...especially when we go out to do our chores and he slips under the paddock fence and starts "mining" for frozen golf ball...(that's horse poo)..must be like a frozen Snickers bar for dogs!! Sorry, didn't mean to make you lose your breakfast! I yell, "BIX!!!" and he drops it, giving me that look...'What did I do?' Heehee.

Tomorrow....High Five Friday! AND the 300-day milestone!! YEAH!! It's lookin' up!

 

[Cedarfarm]

Hol~ Haven't seen that movie. Thanks on the congrats..we always worry when we play Ohio State, you guys rule!

~Hey, where's that Jay?

Doh!!!

 

[Maureen]

Hey Cedar - I'll be there!!! I'll bring enough plaid picnic blankets for us all to sit on (unless you've a tire swing in the barn because if you do, that's where you'll find me!)

I'll have a bit of stuffing on my turkey sandwich, please! Jay, don't drop anything on your new tights and Binger - I'm impressed; I've never seen anyone balance 4 mugs of coffee AND a turkey sandwich at the same time.

Respect!!

Aaaagh! That remided me. Fox used to do that too! Dogs must have cast iron stomachs.
Glad Fox doesn't do it anymore.....not that he doesn't still try for most every road kill he finds.
Thank goodness for those retractable leashes!
