Christmas Countdown - 2013

Good night, friends! Hope everyone had a great Monday and an even better Tuesday!

Well my sister finally heard back about the official results of my niece's echo cardiogram. The tech was right. She has 2 murmur's and a secundum atrial septal defect. So basically there is a hole between the upper 2 chambers of her heart and there is blood going back and forth between the 2 chambers. They got her into the cardiologist Friday afternoon to see what the next step is.

Hoping and praying for a positive outcome, (((Hugs)))

Good evening!
I am back from the prom meeting and I am going to try and go to sleep early. I have been so tired lately. I made an appointment to have blood work and a physical because I am overdue. I couldn't get in until the first week of June, so I will have to wait a little while longer. I'm sure everything is fine, it's probably just lack if sleep.
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I was thinking about them. I hope all is well and I am sending prayers to all that need them!

You 've done the right thing booking in at the docs, even if it's just for peace of mind. Keep us updated.

We had a crazy storm here earlier in the evening ... Thunder, lightning, and about ten minutes of pea-sized hail. I got some video of it. No damage that I know of, but it was something to see. It had been over 80F earlier in the day, but by the time I left the office it had fallen into the 60s. Crazy day, weather-wise.

Had some discouraging personal news today. Time to sleep on it and see how it looks in the morning.

I hope everyone is out from under the threat of violent weather now.

Good night, Christmas friends.

Wishing you strength and courage ((Hugs))

Good Morning and Happy Pines Day! I 've not been to the Pines yet so perhaps I'll pop on by today. Keep an eye out for me!

First of all , I have been thinking of all of you experiencing severe weather. Stay safe you guys.

It is still grey , damp and dull here but compared to what some of you are experiencing, I am not complaining!

Baby Isaac and I are going to try and tidy up the garden today.....which usually means I've got a toddler covered in leaves and dirt by the end of it LOL.

Ok , well have a good day everyone !!!!

Good Morning, Middle-of-the-Weekers and 'Pines Anticipators!

Yes, sir it's Carl Day once again.
Hump Day for the Hump Meister.

What else is today?
Well, let the stats speak for themselves:
Days to the Season: 175
Days to Christmas Day: 217
Now under 2.5 weeks remain until the 200-day Christmas Day Milestone.
(So moving in on that auspicious marker!)

A bit warmer yesterday with less of the wet stuff.
It would be nice to string several dry days together to get some outside work done!
We read 69 degrees here currently and the skies look ready to rain again.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks.
See you at the 'Pines!

I always loved doing stuff with my kids, yes it never looked perfect, the rows were crooked, flowers trampled but it was always the most beautiful garden I ever saw!

My kids were raised by just me and my daughter made me cry the other day when she said "mom, we had so much fun growing up!" This from a kid who never got new clothes or a chance to take those ballet lessons she wanted, who often only had biscuits and jam to eat.

So keep doing those little things with your kids, that is what they will remember when they grow up.

Hope you get a good night of sleep, HmG. And I hope your blood work will give you some answers.

I had the same issue a couple of years ago, fatigue, brain fog, and more. The only thing they could say for sure was that I was anemic. Best of luck to you! {{hugs}}

Thinking of you!

Thank your Snowflake. I was also anemic when I was younger, maybe thats all it is.

Hello everyone!
It is going to be warm today, temperatures in the upper 70's and a chance of a thunderstorm. I was walking the dogs this morning and heard some rumbles of thunder. I got so nervous because I forgot to bring an umbrella. Thankfully it never started to rain.
I am going to Target this morning for some things and then to the Hallmark store for a few cards. Then back home to make a pot of sauce. Every Wednesday and Sunday is macaroni day in our house.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Love the way you put that! My kids are grown and tell me the same. We really did have a blast while they were growing up! We all still do have a blast together!

A couple of visitors stopped by to take a dip in the pool.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Nancy and I have spent the last three evenings till midnight trying to get a birthday present made for my mom. We're throwing her a secret 70th birthday bash (shhh!) with about 100 friends and family coming. It's a Smoky Mountain-themed party, since she and I love it so much. Nancy's mom is a retired caterer, and is designing and creating a mountain-shaped cake, Cake Boss style! It'll be a wonder if we can all keep the secret for two more weeks.

Anyway, besides the party, we've decided to do one of those hardback photobooks that Shutterfly makes. We've upload 200 pictures to Shutterfly of our trips to the mountains with her, and arranged them in the book. I have to say, it's a great present idea! You guys should check it out: http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books

I have another birthday party to go to for my niece this evening. It should give me a chance to get some practical experience with my new camera!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy
