Christmas Countdown - 2009

[Crown 84]

Top of a great April Spring morning to everyone!
Birds are singing, dogs are barking, children are sceaming, Jay is dancing, Maureen is plaiding, Auntie is rhyming.....Binger is percolating - oops, I mean their coffee is percolating - no, wait - I was right - Binger is percolating.

A muted sun is out here in Raleigh at this hour where we stand at a cool 53 degrees. A high reading in the 60's is predicted for this afternoon, then in the 70's or above from Thursday into the foreseeable future - and no rain (not counting the yellow kind, which continues to fall freely).

The mid-week count:
Days to the Season: 205
Days to Christmas Day:247
The 1/3 Christmas Day milestone arrives this Sunday - a mere 4 days from today. Getting so close!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Magnificent Mid-Week, Friends.
And Holiday - see you on the roof of the Shispering Pines for another wonderful view of the Weekend from the peak-of-the-week!
Carl will serve sweet southern iced tea with all the fired twinkies and Mauradio sugar cookies you can eat.
(How he's going to get up on the roof I don't know - that might be the best entertainment of the day!)

Happy Earth Day my fellow Christmas lovers!!

It was in the high 90s here in Northern California yesterday, and we should see a repeat today. I hate the hot weather. Plus, it adds nothing if you are walking around in a hot cast on your leg!!

 

[Bradmac]

Wow, that is mighty hot for this time of year. Try to stay out of the sun!

That cast should give you a good excuse to lie in the easy chair today. cheesy

Good Afternoon All!! cheesy

The days are speeding by......

 

[made582]

Wow the days are flying by and I can't wait for it to get here or at least for november to get here. I have never been a fan of hot weather so I would prefer to just go ahead skip summer if at all possible. If it would just stay between 25 and 60 here in Indiana I would be happy but I don't think that is going to happen.:

Hey All...A beautiful day here. Been busy with yard work and cleaning up around our project today. Looks as if we may get some rain this evening. Hope everyone is doing well?! =)

 

[Binger]

YABBBA

[ballcoach]

Hey Guys! Hope all is well where you are. Beautiful weather has set in here and should stay that way until middle of next week. However, I wouldn't know...I have a sick wife! I'm doing the good husband thing! I stayed here this afternoon and made sure she took her medicine and ate her soup (which she didn't get to keep very long....ugh)! Think she's got a little virus, although she doesn't think it's little. I believe she could be out for the night, so now it's time to take care of our dogs! Hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

 

[ElfSpirit]

Get well wishes for your wife, ballcoach. Being sick is so fun at all...

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone!

I'm waking up with a cup of black espresso...ahhh...have a busy day ahead of errands, ballet class and a CPR refresher course this evening. Yoga class last night was good, and afterwards we went to the storage place to pick up some things we need for our Ibiza trip - like suitcases! LOL

I hope you all have a great day!

 

[Undrtakr]

[Christmasstar]

Got to make a cup of tea and be off.....have a great day everyone! cheesy

.....Got to make a cup of tea and be off.....

Good for you, Christmasstar! None of that coffee stuff. Southern Tea! That's where it's at.

Hi, Folks.
We move again into the latter half of the week and it's once more Friday Eve. Wow, the time sure moves fast these days!

Last cold morning, where we stand at 44.
Seventies by this afternoon, with 80's to follow by the weekend.
(Straight from winter to summer happens often in these parts.)

The count:
Days to the Season: 204
Days to Christmas Day:246
Golly, Gee! Less than half a week to the 1/3 Christmas Day milestone!
Then the 200-Day Season window the following day.
(So many milestones, you could build a fort!)

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends!
Keep that Christmas song on your lips and may the Spirit of the Season be with you.

 

[Laney]

Oh how I do love to see these days tick away! I've got my eye on the countdown to the season. You know that is about the time where other people quit thinking we're crazy for listening to our Christmas music! I got some weird looks yesterday as I was driving with the windows down and had Christmas music blasting from the stereo LOL.

Gonna be a great weekend here! 80's every day! Yay!!!!!!! I may love Christmas, but I sure do hate the cold LOL.

Everyone have a merry day!

 

[Bradmac]

Good Thursday morning, all!

I just had a cup of fresh ground columbian...and mean fresh! It was just roasted last week and ground a couple days ago. WOW, that's a good cuppa joe! Second cup coming up.

Ballcoach, I hope your wife is feeling better today!

ElfSpirit, I've never been man enough to drink straight espresso, but we have an espresso machine for mixed drinks like a macchiato. And yoga?? I can barely scratch my own back. There's no way I could bend the way you guys do!

8 months to go till Christmas Eve Eve!cheesy

One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had was from Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis. They roast their own and it is great. They also have the best rosti (not sure of the spelling) potatoes. Their sausage bread is out of the world, and they make marvelous homemade catsup. Man, I wish I could be there for breakfast this morning!!

 

[Meceka]

Good morning and a very Happy Thursday to all!! I still haven't had my morning coffee - feeling a wee bit grumpy so I had best get me some caffeine and soon!! Today is garage cleaning day - at my cousin's house. She lives in town and next week they are having city-wide garage sales. I'm putting a bunch of books in it and whatever else I can find. It should be a lot of fun!! Talke care!!!
