How is everyone? I have not been on here since October 17. I appreciate the messages from some of you since I have been away. It will take a little time just to get caught up here around the house and get back in a routine. I hope I get some time to pop in here more often!

I really miss you all!!!!!!

Welcome Back!!!

Here we are in my signature. We had an unlimited internet plan onboard the ship. (Very slow but nice to have!) I sent this picture for my grandchildren to see and they got excited thinking I got a job as a cop onboard the ship. I also got my picture taken with Santa in my cop uniform. The kids asked what did Santa do wrong? Ha ha! I will get that picture on here soon.

I love the costumes CAH!
Sounds like you had a great time!!!

Merry Christmas Friends

Congratulations!

Afternoon guys....or morning to my friends across the pond. Happy Pines Day!! Big night at the Pines later I imagine!!

I am just getting a few things done online while sipping a hot mug of Christmas tea and Mistletoe Over Manhattan is on the TV. As I am typing this I just saw the Christmas ad for Debenhams, I have been looking out for it!

Walked to the shops after dropping my eldest to school this morning. There are a lot more Christmas things out. I have seen a few things I want to get, so perhaps next week! It's a big week here. A lot of places are switching on their lights and decorations for the season at the end of this week. The city switches on Friday and I think my town does to.

Well I hope you all have a great day. I am just finishing up something on the PC and then I have a few things to get done around the house before picking my son up from school.

See you all at the Pines tonight! I hear there is a special surprise entertainment in store.........

I hope you're having a great day Festive, it sounds Christmassy :grin:

Yeah, the whole site went down for about an hour last night. Coach was the last person to post before it happened so I blame him!!!! LOL!!!!

Keeping Maggie in my paryers.

LOL and Thank You!!!

Good morning!
It is going to be beautiful today, sunny with a high of 61 degrees.
I am heading out to visit my parents in a few minutes. My mom wanted me to come over this morning, she called to tell me she baked me some gluten free zucchini bread. Sounds good to me. I have a few errands to run after then back home to catch up with chores.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!
Talk to you later!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks, sugar!!

We are going with a few friends of ours, my uncle and cousin will also be there so we will meet up with them for a beer and a brat too!!

Sounds like a GREAT time!!! ENJOY!!!

First time in awhile I have has time to actually read and respond to some posts.
It has been crazy here, everyone is on edge. It is kind of like a bad storm rolling through and all you can do is sit and wait for it to pass.

Sending hugs & prayers your way! I hope things get better soon!

Hey friends!!

How are you all this evening?

I had a busy, but nice day at work. I created a display of Christmas dinnerware, and another of Yankee Candles!

My favorite new scent is one called Santa's Pipe- the scent reminds me of a pipe that my Grandpa smoked. I will have to pick one up!

We have employee appreciation coming up, and we get an extra discount!!

Seriously?? A pipe?? LOL!!! I would have never expected that. I will have to check it out. I love pipe smell...just not sure about in a candle?? LOL!

Good evening everyone!

Just thought I would come in for a quick hello. My mornings are a little interesting now. This morning, I began my first official day as a supply teacher. I received a call this morning, but it was too late for me to make it to the school on time. I also had to spend $300 to fix my car. That really hurt. At least the car has now been fixed and it should not give me any problems for a while... I need it to last since I will probably be driving about 45 minutes (on average) to work everyday.

Anyway, I am really hoping to get a call soon for tomorrow. I need the money and experience! Have a great Tuesday evening, everyone! The final 'Pines Day before the beginning of the Christmas Season is nearly upon us!

I hope you got that call!!! Good luck on your new adventure. Hope your car is done giving you problems too!!!

Thank you Snowflake!
Enjoy your visit with your parents and Jazzie!
I wish we could all get together, lol!

Good afternoon everyone

Bitterly cold here in Ireland today :wink:

I wish it was bitterly cold here. It is almost like spring here today with a high in the low 60s. At least the forecast low tonight is in the upper 20s.

Holiday, I've been praying for your dad!

I am back home and I can barely keep my eyes open. It was a fun day, though. I found some items for the store and a few items for myself at the Mission store. I love buying items there as the store is run by volunteers and all proceeds go to local charities such as the food pantry. I'm getting to know some of the regulars there - good people and a great cause!

MERRY dreams!!!

Thanks Meceka! Sounds like you had a wonderful evening! NICE!

It's snowing!!!!! .

AWESOME!!!! Hope you were able to watch it for awhile!! 66º here today they say. And rain! I just saw a salt truck go by though - I'm wondering what the heck?? LOL!

Good Morning MMC Gang!

As life would have it, I'm too busy to check the forum everyday. so this is just a short notice that I'm healthy and as already said very busy.

Unfortunately I doubt life will calm down any until right before christmas. So I'll drop in if I have time. Just to share some of the happy things that happened the last two or three weeks:

My work team and I celebrated the birth of a healthy little daughter to one of my co-workers. Her name is Aylin (which is the turkish version of Eileen, but they pronounce it like Eileen), she was born on October 28th.

My sunday school team meeting went very well. We have the childrens christmas church service well covered.

I was babysitting two very energized two boys (age 8 and 12) last thurstday. Who made the couple hours I watched them, very entertaining. I just love those two!

I hope you are all well and happy.

See you later!

So glad to hear things are going so well for you! Thanks for checking in & come back when you can!!! Congrats to your co-worker!

Sorry Snowflake, I walked away for a few minutes last night and Tapatalk wouldn't let me log back in when I got back!
Anyway, Maggie is still coughing. The poor thing. I am supposed to call the doctor back when she finishes her medicine. She has three more doses left. She's taking it every other day so I will be calling soon. It looks like she may be going back for another xray of the lungs. I will keep you posted, xo.

Prayers going up for Maggie!! She's so sweet!

We are back!!! Just got in from a wonderful cruise aboard the Carnival Cruise Ship. We went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. I thought our other cruises was fun but this one was the best.

Look who we saw on Halloween Night in the Main Dining Room on the ship! Santa was enjoying himself on vacation! I was so excited that I jumped up and ran over to his table. The people we were sitting with started laughing but I was very for real. Ha ha! I told Santa that he is my hero and could I take a picture of him. He was very happy to do so. I am not the only one, everyone was going up to him wanting pictures. Wayne and I were selected as finalist in the Costume Contest onboard. I was a cop and he was my inmate. There were hundreds of people dressed up and they selected 31 people as finalist. Santa was selected too! We didn't win but we got a medal. It was fun!

HOW FUN!!! Great picture!!!! Which ship were you on? Welcome back!!

I'm fine thank you x

Haven't really done much yet but our local Christmas store opens tonight so I'm really looking forward to that

I have picked up a few thing but having moved into a new house I have to start buying all over again

How exciting!!
