Christmas Countdown - 2008

[Holiday]

HAPPY HUMP DAY!! Good morning!! What a BEAUTIFUL day!!! Sunshine w/ a high of almost 70º! Yah Hoooooo!!! We're having friends (who lost their son in a car accident last month) over tonight for pizza & wings on the grill ~ should be a good night for that!!

Hope you all have a GREAT day!!! (sure wish I had the day off work)

 

[mammaduke]

Good afternoon everyone,I hope everyone is having a great day today on this beautiful hump day.
The weather here is sunny & warm with temps in the 60's.
The casino was great, didn't win, but we had a great time. The room was on the 19th floor so we could see over the Niagara River to the canadian side & all the beautiful lights from all the hotels.

Have a nice afternoon & evening everyone.

Beleive it or not, that tune is in my i-Pod! Try again?

Actually, I don't believe it - but if you say so - I'll take it as fact.

How about?
Ella Fitzgerald ~ It Don’t Mean a Thing

Maybe not that exact one, but you must have one from her younger days.

:hello:And thanks for the eggnog!

Glad you had a good time Mamma - did you see me waving from across the border? Do they have computers in the casino or do they have wireless access and you have to bring your lap top?

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

cheesy Holiday - I wish you had the day off too. It's great being on holidays and not worrying about the Wednesday hurdle. Although being that it is Wednesday reminds me my holidays will come to an end bright and early Monday morning.


Crown I think I'll swing on by and take a gander at those azaleas.

I finally cleaned out the guest room closet. One bag of garbage and two bags for the Salvation Army thrift store - some good stuff too - just not anything I want to wear.


Another offering ...

Eric Clapton ~ Cryin Christmas Tears - for all the Christmas music enthusiasts

Alabama Train ~ Lech Świątek - a little somethin' extra for RJD.

I heard Louisiana Red’s version coming back from Ottawa via Sirius Radio in the rental car. Love me some blues, baby!

Stay cool! Think Christmas!

How about?
Ella Fitzgerald ~ It Don’t Mean a Thing

Maybe not that exact one, but you must have one from her younger days.

:hello:And thanks for the eggnog!

That's it! Of the thirty-two Ella songs in the i-Pod, "It Don't Mean A Thing" isn't one of them. It's not that I don't like the song, just ain't run across it in a pawn shop yet!

You're welcome for the egg nog!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:hello: Double the order of eggnog then! HaHa.

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:hello: Wow! I got a Bud and eggnog treat - double thanks!

 

[auntieclaus]

Mmm...eggnog. Our local small market offers it all year!

 

[mammaduke]

Sure did Auntie wondering if it was you waving, hoped it was since we were waving back. They have internet connections in the rooms but I don't have a lap top.

Actually, I don't believe it - but if you say so - I'll take it as fact.

Good morning!! It's ALMOST FRIDAY!! (man, the weeks really do seem to go so fast!) It's supposed to be a beautiful day again today! I think the high is supposed to be around 70º & sunshine! This darn work thing is in the way of basking in the sun & drinking margarita's! ;-)

I'm glad you had a good time yesterday mammaduke!

Have a great day!!

~That's my girl! Now you're talkin' my lingo! Don't you just love that sun? Ohhhh the heat, the warmth...

It's ALMOST FRIDAY Thursday! I like that!

:rudolph:

 

[Cedarfarm]

Hey Ms. Debbie...Love the Niagara Falls...breaktaking beauty. Glad you had fun!

*Auntie, I'm calling your boss...you can't go back to work just yet. I'm sure she'll understand when I tell her we need you here. Don't you think? heehee!

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ding-a-ling-a-ling babe!"
( I threw in alittle Sammy Davis Jr. hey, that's what he would do!)

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:hello: Did I ever tell you - I love double digits.

I love single digits much more, but I'll wait since the nice weather is on the way.

Listen to the creek gurgling ~ sounds like I should be able to see a kayak or a canoe paddling along ~ nope just a bit of a rush, a little high, but not enough to grab sand bags.

Here's a new one for you to enjoy!
Step Into Christmas ~ Elton John ‘74
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs4OkFZWmfs&feature=related

And Cedar ~ my boss is already missing me BIG TIME. Ah well, not to worry, I have two days off after Mother's Day.

Think I'll pop in on Wednesdays with a song for all just for the fun of it.

AuntieClause ~ you have access to eggnog year round? Awesome!

Toodleloo!

 

[Crown 84]

It's ALMOST FRIDAY Thursday! I like that!

Hmmm.... Me, too.
As such, have a Thrilling Almost Friday Thursday, Folks.
(Are we having a "Virtual Friday"??)

Days to the Season: 210
Days to Christmas Day: 252
The sun is shining but it's only 42 outside at this hour.
Not to worry, 70's and 80's are promised just around the corner.

Ah! "It Don't Mean a Thing"!
Fine old 1932 Big Band tune by the great Duke Ellington and his orchestra. The version I have was recorded by the Ellington band on May 14, 1945.

Have a great day, everyone!
