Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

Did you end up having to give a speech? Did you wear your special Spock ears that Star "gave" you? I think it was Star who "fixed" you inaugural photo!

it was not me, do not recall who it was.

Well Carl has invited some of his friends over for a party and they are everywhere. They are even down here on the activity field-




The only good thing is, they look like they may give us ride later if we are nice to them.

If they are half as crazy as Carl, we are in for it tonight!

what I want to know is what were they doing that they all need their mouths taped shut??

Goodnight, Ryan!!!!!


You're missing the camel Conga line but I'll try to get some pics for you!!!

Now that is something I would like to see!

Maybe they tried to sing like Carl and his friend did for your birthday last week!

Good Morning, Friends!

The count......and an announcement.

First, the count:
Days to the Season: 62
Days to Christmas Day: 104
And we suddenly find ourselves down to barely over half a week away from our final Window Milestone of 2013, the 100-day Christmas Day marker.

Is it too soon to say our count is starting to dwindle down into a bedpost?

Well, OK then.
But that will come sooner than you think!

Warm and humid still yesterday, and today should be a repeat before we get a nice "Autumn Preview" this weekend.

Which brings me to the announcement.
The beach cottage rental season has ended and yours truly must travel over to the coast to see how the place fared and get the lawn (well, tough coastal weeds really) mowed.
As such, a countdown volunteer will be needed for Saturday and Sunday mornings.
This coveted position does not pay well (in fact it doesn't pay at all) but the fun and prestige is worth it as past vounteers will surely testify(?)
Any takers? Apply within. (Within the thread, that is.)

We stand at 74 degrees here this morning and please - have a Thrilling Thursday, OK?

If there are no takers I will do it...lot of pressure with the job though!

'Morning! Right now I'm just eating breakfast, soo sleepy, glad it's almost Friday yet super concerned about a transplant friend right now (she's received 2 double lung transplants due to Cystic Fibrosis but is currently battling small bowel cancer and, unfortunately, it looks like she's nearing the end of her life). I've got a feeling my tiredness is due to the concern I have for my friend (and her identical twin sister. Yup, she's a twin and they both have received lung transplants).

Sigh.... sorry to be a downer this morning. :-(

I'm sorry to hear about all of this. Prayers for you and them!

 

[Ryan]

Festive Spirit, thanks for the offer of help. I will PM you later. I really appreciate it!

Good morning all.

Carl called this morning with a report. I was right... Made was a "perfect angel" (Carl's exact words) at the Pines. However Snowflake and Sugar...well...not so much, I'm afraid. He claimed you two were a handful all night and "carried on in a manner that had all my camel friends leery of coming back" (again, his exact words). So Made, you stand vindicated!

Hope you all have a great Thursday. Track, get feeling better!

 

[Christmasstar]

Good morning! I'm going to be crashing the party more often now. :-D

I noticed that some of you guys are going through some things. I pray for the sick to be healed. I also pray for good weather since I noticed someone mentioned a tornado. Stay safe and stay healthy everyone!

if no one else volunteers I will do it, for the good of the countdown, I am willing!

LOL!! That is comical about made!!

However, I won't deny that sugar & I know how to have a good time!! In a lady-like manner, of course!!....
We just don't appreciate being spit on, and exchanged a few words

Good morning!
Just walked the dogs, it's going to be another hot and humid day. We are expecting showers/storms later this evening and then cooler temperatures for tomorrow. I dropped my daughter off at school this morning and saw an accident on my way home that involved one of her classmates. Luckily no one looked like they were hurt. We are shopping around for another car right now for my youngest and I'm so worried about her. Its extra nerve wracking when they first start driving! Anyway, I'm going to Target and Rite Aid for a few things, then back home to do some chores. I think I need another cup of coffee before I head out. I hope everyone has a great day!

Have a great day!!

((Hugs)) to you, Molly, and Maggie.

I walked the dogs around the block one time, and they are out cold.
