Another travel alert.
I am taking my father down to Florida to visit my uncle and will need a countdown volunteer (or volunteers) to post the count from this coming Saturday morning through Wednesday morning (5 mornings). Any takers?
(It's an easier job now that we are down to double-digits, you know.)

I can take care of it.

Good morning all,

Missed the celebration on here yesterday....Hubby was sick with a stomach bug yesterday so I was tending to that. Did manage to to get out my fall and christmas tarts yesterday morning and DD wanted to me to put in the gingerbread scented one so the whole house smelled like gingerbread yesterday. I make a batch of homemade chicken noodle soup and brownies yesterday too.

Sunday we will be bring down the fall and halloween lights to test them so we can get them ready to put up outside sometime next week.

My counter says 98 days. Well, 98 days and 14 hours and 25 minutes... Is that rounded up to 99, or is my counter wrong?.....

Yes and no.
Yes, we are rounding up since the count is normally posted in the morning.
No, the counter is not wrong.

It's Friday!!!

Good morning all.
Friday again, that means I get to dive into lots of packing and cleaning this weekend. Hoping to get the basement all wrapped up by the time the weekend is done.

Tea! The greatest energy drink!

Good Morning, Fellow Friends (um....and also tea disparagers).

A new day, a new count number:
Days to the Season: 56
Days to Christmas Day:98
And on we move back toward Christmas Season 2009!
You my be wondering what our next milestone is.
Well friends, I must warn you, we are only 8 days away from it.
That's right.
Just one week from tomorrow, our next Milestone arrives - the 3/4 mark to Christmas Day!
Don't believe me? Can't believe it's so soon?? Well, just check out our handy post #1 chart.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks.
Will see you here next on Thursday morning, by which time the count will be so low, I'm afraid to think about it!
Oh! And have a Wonderous Weekend, while you are at it.
