Shispering Pines Day!
LAST 'Pines day before Christmas!

Carl is ready and waiting at the front door under the giant wreath with complimentary egg nog and those ever-popular red and green frosted fired twinkies.
Can't wait to see the Christmas movie screenings in the theater.

And have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!!

Good morning, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well!

What a lovely day! It is raining out, but for some reason I would rather that than snow. I want a green Christmas this year!

Today I am staying home and cleaning house and working on more store stock for January sales. The first of the year we are going to rearrange the displays in the booth - take out a few shelves and add a few different ones. Lots of dusting and lemon oiling of the wood to be done, too. It will be a long few days, but well worth it in the end. I am trying to come up with different display ideas. We seem to sell a lot of children's literature - I need to make that more of a focus. It really makes me happy that some of the books I have had are finding a happy home :-D

I am going to put on some happy Christmas tunes and later on, I might make a batch of lemon cookie bars, too. I will be popping in and out at the Pines, too!

Have a most MERRY day, Christmas family!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! We are off to a warm start here in central Indy and it appears that most of the rain has moved out for now. I have a few things to do around my apartment this morning and then it's off to the Pines. I can't wait to get some fired twinkies with the red icing. Those things are delicious. I've also been working on a special song to perform on the karaoke stage later. I hope to see y'all there and I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Just popping in to say hi! I am not caught up on here but will try later. I have a cold again. Yay! :-? Anyway, going to sign off of here and try to get some rest.

I hope you all have a great day! :-D

Merry Wednesday, everyone! We're just full of Christmas decorations and treats here at work, and even though we're very busy we're having a good time.

I forgot to say that my Chorus had their last Christmas concert last Sunday, and it was a great success. We had a large audience (for us), and they were very enthusiastic. It was lots of fun, and then my Mom, my Sister and I went to Pizza Hut for a late supper. We were very rowdy for our age, and had lots of people looking at us (especially at my 80 year old Mom, who was the rowdiest of all). It was a great day, and a great end to the concert season.

Have a good day, everyone!

Well darn. I needed a dishwasher today. I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!

 

[kerstig]

Oh my Christmas is so very near! Today a gift appeared under our tree with my name on it!
I spend some time at my parents entertaining my little brother and helping them to decorate and plan for christmas, since they did not have much time for that! I am in a very great mood, still need to do a lot, but it's fun, because it's the most wonderful time of the year!
Hope all of you are enjoying as well!!

Good morning,

The Pines was hopping this morning, I brought the boys there and WOW! I got a couple of pictures of them with the lampshade on their heads, the festivities are hopping now. 4 days to go! I cleaned up the red room where the cats ransacked the tree, it took me hours to do everything, replace lights, fix tree, move furniture around, I passed out on the couch until my wife and kids got home yesterday, we then went to Friendly's for dinner. I had a heck of a time trying to get on here this morning. I must get ready for work, I got to go deal with my problem head on now. Have a great day!

What's it called...Braxton-Hicks, or something like that? Yeah, I remember those. Too many fast trips to the hospital! Best wishes for all three of you!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Last night was very busy. My father-in-law, my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law all have their own businesses, and they always plan the repective company Christmas parties together at Mrs. Hilda's restaurant. Last night was the party, and it was great! We had fried shrimp, crab stew, roast beef with rice & gravy, and lots of sides.

Bernie, however, had booked someone else's Christmas party in the coffee shop on the same night by accident. It's upstairs in the store. And they wanted us to cook dinner for all 22 of them. So I was cooking steaks, salmon, shrimp, chicken fingers, whatever they wanted, right up till it was time to be at my own party. We just locked them all in the store and left the outer upstairs door unlocked for them to leave when they were finished. They were all local folks and friends, so we weren't worried about security. We went back after they left to lock up...and they had cleaned the entire place up! Usually, folks make a big mess and leave it, but not these people. I hope they come back next year!

And I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon, everyone!

Great to be heading to the 'Pines today. One last time before Christmas! Have I been busy! Yesterday, I had to cross the border into the U.S. with my dad. He had a few things to grab for Christmas. Then, I spent a bit of time with my brother... Then, I visited my 97-year-old grandmother with my dad and uncle. Her mind isn't as sharp as it used to be, but she's wonderful!

Yesterday evening was nice and quiet. The celebrations will probably start on Friday. I am hosting a Christmas Sweater & Shrimp Ring party at my mom's house. There should be about 20 people here. We will gather, enjoy food and drinks before heading out for a good time. Most of my friends here range from about 24-32, so there will be a great mix of people and fun! I'm excited!

I wish I had time to reply to a few messages, but I am afraid that I have to get dressed and head to the gym! Hopefully I will have some time to stop by later and enjoy the final day of Autumn, and last day before Winter Solstice! Have a fantastic day at the 'Pines, everyone. It's truly a magical time of the year!
