Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

Hi Sam! I am doing well. My father is too! He just had a follow up appointment with his doctor and he is very pleased with his progress. Thank you so much for asking.
The ducks are in my pool right now. I'm kind of getting nervous, they are spending a little too much time back there. I don't want to have to worry about them when I let my dogs out in the backyard. Although, the ducks are probably bigger than the dogs, lol.
I hope you and your family are well. Have fun at your indoor picnic and movie night. Hope you have a wonderful weekend :-D

So happy that your Dad is progressing so well! That is fantastic news!

Hopefully there's a way to deter the ducks safely? Good luck =]

That's great to hear!!!!!

We are kicking off the weekend with movie night and indoor picnic. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend xxx

That is a great idea! Our weekend---traditionally the first summer of the weekend, with picnics and grilling outdoors---is supposed to be cold, gray, and wet. An INDOOR picnic would be just the thing---broiled hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips, with ice cream for dessert. And movies, of course!

I hope the ducks don't start inviting their friends over, now that they're feeling right at home!

I remember a hotel back in Maryland that had a deer jump the fence, swim around for a while, then jump back over the fence and back across the highway into the woods. IIRC, it happened at my college, too.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here in central Indy with a high of 64!!!!!! Heck yeah, this is my kind of weather. It's going to stay cool here all weekend and there is a slight chance of rain tomorrow and sunday. It's not going to be an all day rain though so there will still be plenty of time to enjoy the cooler temps. I think my plan for today is to get my cleaning and grocery shopping done so I can enjoy the weekend. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Pickle juice is great, I do enjoy drinking that myself. I have to sneak it though my wife thinks it is disgusting when I do that. cheesy

Pickle Juice.....

:lol:

That sounds great! What time do you want us all over? cheesy

When do you think you will get to start your deck? Make sure you take pictures of the progress, and before and after ones, too!

We are not sure about when. We want it to be soon but you know how things go! haha!

 

[Seawaters]

You are so right about time flying when you are not at work! It really happens when you retire, LOL! Why is it that we have to use our free time that is supposed to be for relaxing and having a vacation for catching up on other work? What a cycle!

Morning all!! Hope this finds you all well! Had the week off work to catch up on some jobs around the house! cant believe its friday already! why does it fly by when your not at work ha!!

Have a great day!!xxcheesy

The ceremony was very special. The boys were excited and so were the parents. I was mistaken about dinner afterwards, but they did have excellent refreshments. One was a puff pastry with a filling of nutella, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. It was then drizzled with nutella and chocolate melted together. One of the yummiest desserts ever!

Your plans sound like a nice way to spend the summer. During times like these, I really miss having my kids little. They sure make summer fun, so I am sure you will enjoy your summer so much. I bet they will have you laughing every single day. I hope you and others who have kids or grandkids, or furbabies (CAH, hint, hint; Snowflake and Harlowe, HMG [kids and furbabies], Meceka and Palmer and Mouse, and Made and his neighbor and friend, Brad and his family and car, Coach and Wifey and Baby Coach, [who else?]) will share your summer with those of us who are empty-nesters. I smile every day reading about what is happening with you. It helps keep me young, LOL.

Thank you SW. I appreciate your kind words. Such sadness for this poor man and his friends and family. All soldiers have been warned not to wear there uniforms in public. So far there has been a couple related incidents across the country - ''revenge'' attacks by activists. We just hope and pray that this doesn't escalate into something more.



How lovely, How did it go?



They return to school after the two week break and then break up for summer end of July for 6 weeks. We would like to do some day trips and perhaps a mini break somewhere. Other than that I am going to come up with some activities to do at home and there is a nice park nearby. I also want the kids to learn to swim this summer. Jacob is 5 and a little reluctant. Isaac is 1 so fingers crossed they enjoy it.

TGIF!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

We had some fresh corn-on-the-cob last night, and it's still on my mind. Mmm, mmm! I don't like hot weather, but I sure do love fresh vegetables.

I hope we have an un-eventful Memorial Day weekend. I plan to clean the pool, cut the grass, work on the Camaro...and maybe get 18 holes in! We'll see. Of course, I have to go see Star Trek again!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Your movie night and indoor picnic sound like fun. My sister used to put up "tents" made from blankets draped over chairs and would fix hotdogs and all the fixings for the kids to "camp out" when they were too young to go out by themselves. So fun!

I was thinking of putting together some scrapbooking projects into specific containers so I can just pick one up and work on it when I have time. By having it ready to go, I can work, put it back in its container and store it until I can work again. I will need to do it that way while we have the house torn apart for remodeling. I am going to put together some crocheting projects, too. Merry Carey, do you have your special Christmas afghan ready to start?

Good morning! Happy three day weekend to almost everyone! Thank you for all the kind thoughts and prayers, you are all are truly a special bunch.

It is freezing out, very windy and nowhere near summer temperatures. Ahhh well what can you do. I saw the Christmas episode of Mindy Project last night, made me feel chistmassy. I have started thinking about Christmas gifts. The summer sales are starting here and I'm thinking it would be good to stock up on a few bargains.

We are kicking off the weekend with movie night and indoor picnic. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend xxx

The gas thing is a big deal with me for some reason!

Seawaters that is so funny! We divide the chores up pretty much the same way. I do more cleaning the he does, but he helps me out. And my husband always puts the gas in my car! I have only done it a couple of times too.

 

[Seawaters]

Right you are, Meceka. Ryan made a great choice!

One of my all-time favorites - it is a great movie!

 

[Seawaters]

Oh, yeah, add HMG's ducks to the summer reports, LOL!

Surprisingly, our temps are supposed to be in the high 60s! Weird weather everywhere!

Hello everyone!
It is going to be cloudy with rain showers today and a high of 65 degrees. More rain expected for tomorrow with temps only in the 50's. I can't remember the last time it was this cool for Memorial Day weekend.
Typical day here, errands and chores. I have to work on a menu plan for next week and go to the butcher. I am hoping we will be able to plan a barbeque at least one day this weekend. The weather doesn't look good. We'll see what happens.
I hope everyone has a great day!!!

One of the eerie scenes for me is when the adults who are now kids again, turn and look back. The look on their faces--I don't know if it's wistfulness or what, but pretty eerie.

Such an eerie premise ... the thing you most desire has the power to destroy you. I have the VHS somewhere in the house. Can't watch the scene with the dozens of tarantulas, though.

 

[Seawaters]

You guys are giving me ideas. Of course we have the Lear and could meet up somewhere, LOL!

That is a great idea! Our weekend---traditionally the first summer of the weekend, with picnics and grilling outdoors---is supposed to be cold, gray, and wet. An INDOOR picnic would be just the thing---broiled hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips, with ice cream for dessert. And movies, of course!
