Good morning. Cooler here after some storms over night. Should be a decent enough day but the chance of more showers later.

Single digits now till we hit the big 100 marker me thinks. Good job with the count Bing and you were right about how it flies when we hit the "1"s cause it seems like you said that yesterday and it's almost 100 days ago.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult but I don't understand.....???:? The countdown at the top of my screen shows more than single digits until the 100 marker...???? Maybe I've inhaled too much plaid:cry:

As promised, here are a few pics of my friend's Christmas in July tree.

The Tree Topper - haha

Full view

I have two more, but you get the idea. When I saw the sand and water toys amidst a few ornies and Christmas lights, I smiled HUGE!

Enjoy your Sunday - tomorrow (for some of us) the work week begins.

Very awesome Christmas in July tree Auntie! I love it!!!

You know, putting up those lights didn't seem like "work" at all. We had a ball doing it! I ended up putting a 6' tree up under the awning (between the 2 sets of stairs) & that set it off! BUT I took it all down last night.

I did leave the garland up around the cupboards & entertainment center...it's just garland w/ clear lights & I think it looks nice up there! I also left Santa out there & my 1 1/2 ft. tree...I just couldn't totally take down Christmas! We had a good turn out for the party. There were over 60 people there. We had turkey, bourbon pork loin, dressing, christmas cookies & all the fixings! (there was tons of food & lots of variety!) We all think we should make this a yearly tradition! It was very fun!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend & are off to a Marvelous Monday!!!

Good Morning! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It's been getting hot here now...in the 90's-100's. Makes it hard to sleep at night that's for sure. I had "little ones" Birthday party on Saturday. Everyone had a great time. We got a pinata' and the kids just loved it. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mistleto - the food at your Christmas in July party sounds wonderful!

There was a 2 for the price of one book sale at our library on Saturday, and I got some wonderful Christmas books from the 80's and early 90's. I love to find them. I think I will share some with friends this year. Keep passing good things around. Maybe that is one of the ideas of fung shia. Fung shay. Fung ......

Good morning! (almost afternoon!) It has been pretty quiet around here! What is up with that??? :? I hope you are all having a great day!! Almost lunch time here! YAY!!!! We are having supper at the lake tonight w/ my sister, bil, my niece & nephew. I made a smoked sausage dish w/ taters & carrots. I'm going to stick it in the oven at lunch. Should be fun!!!! :smile: I'm also bringing a meal over tonight to my niece who just had the baby (they live by the lake too) ~ round steak in the crock pot w/ taters, carrots, celery & golden mushroom soup, chees-y (have to put the hyphen in that word or it try's to make it a smiley...lol) noodles, homemade hawaiian bread, & an ice cream cake (made w/ ice cream sandwiches) for dessert!! I am getting hungry! Lol!!! Our house smells so good after cooking all that stuff...

Have a good one.....

Yum! That cooking sounds delicious, Holiday! Happy almost end of July to everyone! Did I mention that I saw lots of adorable Halloween fabrics in Wal-Mart yesterday? They were just mixed in with the regular fabrics! And some of them looked like they were almost all gone! The great holidays are getting closer!
