Maybe I should try this, Merry! I don't like tea, but this sounds wonderful. I've never heard of it. I'll have to look for it next time I'm at the store. Thanks!

It's not in stores---but you can get it from Amazon or Tisano's website. Just got my second tin of it today! You'll need a tea ball or infuser, or just strain out the shells.

Good Friday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

It's been busy busy around here. My son's best friend's dad recently found out he has cancer, and hasn't been given a very good prognosis. Since both of the boys were already out of school, his friend (Mark) asked if Jacob would please come over to his house. I think he's been overwhelmed with worry for his dad, and just wanted to do some regular stuff with a friend. So I left early this morning to take Jacob to his friend's house (about 30 miles away), then I hurried back to the Honors Day program for Elizabeth's class. Now I'm trying to get caught up at work since we're going to be in Orlando all next week. Whew!

I have to say, I'm very proud of both of my children, academically and socially. My daughter worked so hard this year for school, and made honor roll AND received the subject award for english! My son was a little apprehensive about visiting his friend while his dad is so visibly not well. I told him it was up to him, and he said he knew Mark needed him.

It does an old dad's heart good! Who needs a Father's Day present when they give me gifts like this without even trying?

I hope ya'll have a great day!

I am so sorry about your son's friend's father......I will be praying for him....Your kids sound wonderful but then again look at the example they have of you and your wife !! xo

I haven't taken any of my own yet, but I will =) This is what it looks like though:

What an amazing beautiful clock !!!

Okay who is going to get up at 4am tomorrow with me to watch spacex launch the dragon capsule?

Good evening, dear Christmas family

It has been a little while since I was here I think. I am so tired tonight that I didn't really read all the posts.......I am just hoping all are well.

Not much going on here and that's a good thing I think. I am settling down to watch Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban....One of my favorite "Harry" movies.....Okay. I confess, I have a thing for Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) !! But I love all the Harry movies and books also !! Still looking at pictures and vidoes on my iPod of Ivy and crying.... Whoever would think a little 12 pound pup could leave this big of an impact ?? I just hope she is well now...

((((Hugs))))) Everyone ESPECIALLY Ella, Harlowe, Snickers, Gomez, Chico, Victor, Scooby, Sasha, Pocket, Penny, Snowball, and all furkids everywhere xo

XMas - How is Milo ?? xo

Happy weekend everyone! I am just getting in from a late dinner and see that the marathon of Dog the Bounty hunter is on...I use to love watching that show..I guess I will DVR it too. We had a get together with Brandi's work since it was the last day of school 2012!! School is out until August 8th..Summer school will be May 29th -june 22,but that still leaves her over a month off,so Hopefully we will get a good week of vacation late July. The weather here is Beauitful...lows at night in the low 60's and highs around 80,it's the calm before the storm as far the heat goes,although the Southeast is suppose to be below average re: summer temps but I have never seen a "cool" summer down here..maybe that just means it won't be as oppressive!! Well I will try to catch up here more tomorrow,meanwhile have a great night MMC buddies!

Greetings friends! I just returned from a very productive workshop in Pasadena. As much as I love Socal, there is no place like home. Happy to be back in middle America. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Good Morning, Fellow Weekenders.

Indeed.
Can we be here at yet another weekend so soon?
Can we be this far along in our count so soon??

Days to the Season: 178
Days to Christmas Day: 220

UNDER 3 weeks now until Milesone #9, the 200-day Christmas Day Window.
Followed by a double-100's count.
(I can't wait!)

Rain threatened yesterday morning but the day turned out dry and pleasant with still low humidity.
More of the same predicted for today, then possibly a spot of rain on Sunday.
We stand at a coolish 57 degrees here at this hour in the capital city.

Well, Sir/Madam/Indeterminate.
You have a Simply Sensational Saturday, OK?
Keep that Christmas light shining and may the spirit and inspiration of the Season be with you in all of your endeavors.

Hello!
Hope everyone is having a GREAT Saturday!?

I still have back pains so it's difficult walking.
So I just have to stay in, and take things slowly...

Thinking a lot about you!
So, what are you guys doing these days?

seems odd to me to hear of school being out already, ours is not out until the end of June. (but then it is not on again until after labour day in Septmeber)
Have a great weekend!

Good morning, MMC!

yeah, someone else is up!

 

[Christmasstar]

I am popping in and out as I do some yard work and listen to my neighbour complain about how my flowers smell. (sweet williams, violets and marigolds with hosta in the back) But she does nothing with her yard, not even keeping the lawn trimmed. (I live in a row house)
(of course, the clouds of cigarette smoke do not seem to bother her at all !)
