Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Seawaters]

Your wish is our command, Your Highness!

I just noticed I have been given the label of "Christmas royalty!" I feel pretty big, right now! :wink:

Yesterday my daughter was singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" while she got ready for bed. It made me proud!

Hello all.

My grandma's husband is in the hospital recovering from a surgery related to prostate cancer. My great-grandma went into the hospital last week. My cousin had her twins four months prematurely, and yesterday we lost one of my other cousins. So, my grandma has her husband, her mother, her great-grandbabies in the hospital, and lost a grandson yesterday. Prayers for grandma would be appreciated! She's an amazing woman and I have a tremendous amount of respect for her and love her dearly. It breaks my heart all that has gone on, and breaks my heart to see her with so much on her. She's strong and is surrounded by family, and she's one tough woman!

I'll move on but just had to give a shout-out to grandma because she's my hero!

Well, in spite of everything, I am excited about July 4th! We bought things for our annual cook-out over the weekend...and I can't wait to make some boneless beef ribs, brats, hot links, and some other stuff. Our neighbors come over, and we can see a great fireworks show from the front lawn. Moore is continuing on with the celebration and I think it's awesome for the community since this has been such a hard summer with the tornadoes. Moore needs some fun and by golly we're going to have it Thursday come hades or high water! :wink:

Alright, sorry to rant. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

rant away that is why we are here, to support in good times and not so good times.
You have been through and continue to go through some rough situations.
Many many ((((HUGS)))) to you and your family, and also many many prayers.

So glad you are able to take some time out and relax and celebrate that life continues and there are still many things to enjoy and laugh about.

I love Monsters Inc! I want to see the new one. My kids saw it with their grandparents, but me and their mother weren't invited! Pretty rude, if you ask me. :lol: Enjoy your day with Kandice!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

Prayers going out to Ryan. I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend.

And healing prayer requests for Merry's Mr. I hope all goes well for you both.

Jacob finally came home from the Christian retreat, and is very, very intense about his convictions now. He got out of the car and hugged his mama and hugged me...in public...for longer than 1 second! It's all he's talked about since he got home. Bless his heart.

Our family vacation keeps getting pushed out for other things. Now we can't go when we planned because Elizabeth has auditions for the Nutcracker. Last year, she missed the audition and went to late auditions and only got a small part. She wants a larger role this year, but has to be here that week to get it. I doesn't look like vacation is in the cards for us this year. Oh well.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Glad to hear that your son enjoyed himself.

That's nice of you to give up your vacation for Elizabeth's audition. Hopefully you can squeeze in some weekend trips to the mountains.

Well, I have to throw something out there...

My grandma's husband is in the hospital recovering from a surgery related to prostate cancer. My great-grandma went into the hospital last week.

So, my grandma has her husband, her mother, her great-grandbabies in the hospital, and lost a grandson yesterday. Prayers for grandma would be appreciated!

She's strong and is surrounded by family, and she's one tough woman!

Praying for your Grandma and the rest of your family, friend.

I'm not working right now

Sure you are!!!! You're acting as my shrink!!!!!:lol::wink:

Mr. had some breakfast and was up and around in the hallway this morning with his I.V.-on-wheels, but his incision is very sore. When I talked to him this morning on the phone, he sounded good, but hadn't been examined yet by the neurosurgeon. I'm anxious to find out whether the shunt system was contaminated by the infection, because if it was, that might mean more surgery and a few weeks in the hospital. I'm going to see him on my way home from work tonight---hoping for good news.

Praying that he got good news from the neurosurgeon and that he will be headed home shortly!!!

It is hot here--well over 100. Our weather report said it was 120 degrees in the areas south of us. (Death Valley was 136). I think it was 107 here yesterday.

Either sit in front of the A/C all day or craw inside of the freezer!!!!

Parade and Fireworks? I'm There!!!!!

Canada Day or Christmas in July?

Hey MMC Forum-goers!

My first check-in of the year, I accidentally triggered my Christmas-switch when I was showing my GF some old home-movies of me as a wee nipper at Christmas time -- and since then, Christmas has been on my mind. Naturally I thought I'd check in to the forum to see what is happening! Hope you're all doing well.

Elizabeth saw it Saturday with Nancy and my mom, but I wasn't invited! Seems like a conspiracy is a-brewin'!

What a special moment for you and your wife. Retreats are wonderfully refreshing, and a Spirit-filled one can truly extend the experience.
