Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

Lucky! Can I come? my wife doesn't camp so it's been a long time since I've gone.

Sure!!!! I'm going light though. No tent and no sleeping bag. Just a hammock and light blanket.

It cleared up a bit last night so I went out. I did not see any shooting stars, but I wasn't outside very long as the bats were flying too close for comfort! Did you have any luck spotting any? Yes, I am very busy with the garden - it is fun at times, esp. when I try out new recipes.

I saw one as soon as we took off on our walk at the lake this morning. Since it's still dark at 5:30 (grrrr!) I could see it! LOL!!

I'm just going on a quick overnight camping trip tomorrow.


I'm going to be somewhere around the Allens Creek State Recreation Area.

Have a GREAT time!!!

Good evening, friends~

The trip to the Twin Cities was interesting, bad fog just about the whole way there- left little visibility. Ahhhh!

The classes were okay, gave me a lot of things to think about.

It has been a long day!! Thinking of you all and sending lots of love your way!!

I need to crash early, I have our weekly meeting in the morning.

Have a great night!

Ooh, driving in fog is the pits! Glad you made it safe. I just heard an old wives tale this morning that the # of foggy mornings we have in August - that's the # of heavy snowfalls we will have in the winter?? I had never heard that before. We could be in trouble if there is any truth to that!!! Hope your meeting goes well tomorrow!! Sleep tight!

That's "roughing it" :lol:

Ryan - prayers going up!!!

Welcome back Brad!!

That would be great...just sitting around the camp fire talking, watching stars.

I love cooking breakfast over the camp fire!

Nah, if I was roughing it, I would only take my knife and canteen. I decided it wasn't worth all of the effort to build my own shelter and everything for one night though.

Ryan, just wanted you to know I was thinking about you....good luck on the tough decisions....

Yep!!! I've been longing for the smell of a campfire.

Camping sounds nice....what's the temps like there, Made?

There is a cold front coming through tonight so the high's are going to be in the mid 70's and low's in mid 50's. Perfect!!!!

Good Monday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

I usually make my main post earlier in the day, but after having been out of the office for a week, I was slammed with emails and post-it notes that demanded immediate attention. I'm finally caught up.

We had a great vacation! We got home yesterday afternoon about 6pm. It was 92° and 100% humidity. Yikes, it never got over 78° in Maggie Valley last week! I wanted to give Mgramsey a call to meet for a cup of coffee while I was in the neighborhood, but my family kept me on the run all week.

Still, it was good to see Bellville. A week is about as much time away from home as I want at one time. And it's good to have full-time access to MMC, too!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Glad you had a great vacation!

Float a couple of duck decoys on your pool when you get lonesome for them! cheesy

LOL. Who knows, maybe they will come back one of these days.

Thanks for thinking of me, friend.

Hope you are doing well!!

Good evening, MMC!

I have to make dinner and then do the dishes but after that, I intend to spend the rest of the evening reading until it is dark enough out to look for shooting stars. A little Vince Guaraldi Trio will be my accompaniment. cheesy

Goodnight and MERRY dreams!!!

That sounds wonderful Meceka, enjoy your evening!

Sounds like it was a nerve wracking ride there, so happy you had a safe trip!
I hope you have a good night Snowflake!!!

I do not camp either. I went once when I was a teenager. It was my first and last time!

Have a fun and safe trip!!!

Time for some TV and butter pecan ice cream! Have a great evening, everyone! TTYT

 

[ballcoach]

Butter pecan ice-cream.....yummy.....that's Wifey's favorite!

My favorite is cookies and cream....I love a cookies and cream milkshake from Baskin Robbins.....

We went to sonic to get a blast.....storm went through a couple of hours earlier....they couldn't serve us ice-cream....just my luck!

High here this weekend is supposed to be 71 degrees...perfect weather for sitting on the deck and drinking coffee....
