Just to update all of you. My mother passed away on Saturday, Nov 23 at 9 in the morning. She went peacefully with my brother, my wife and me at her side. We will have the funeral Tuesday.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts during these last few years as she bravely battled cancer.

I will be away for several more days as I spend time with my family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family~

Good morning everyone!

As Crown said, can we really be so close already? One month from today, we will all be gathered around our Christmas Trees, cherishing the most wonderful moments of the year. Yes, it is our final Rudolph Day of the year, let's make sure we commemorate it with something Christmas!

Kim and I had a decent time in Cornwall. Her nephews enjoyed their birthday and it was good seeing some of her family. We returned home yesterday just in time to watch some football.

As for today, well, it is quite a chilly day! Temperatures are currently -10c/10f or -17c/1f with windchill. Yes, even the temperature agrees that December will come on Sunday. Unfortunately, I did not receive a phone call to teach this morning. Monday is a difficult day to receive an assignment, but I awoke and dressed anyway. Perhaps I will take a nap shortly!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! The Christmas Season is still in full-swing. Christmas Specials will start filling the airwaves and the rest of the world is filling with Christmas Spirit. Have a great Monday, everyone! It may be the work week, but it helps us get that much closer to Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Glad you had a good time this weekend!!!! Hope you get called tomorrow!!!

Good morning my wonderful Christmas friends~

It's Monday, but, the last one in November, which is a good thing because that means December is on our doorsteps and knocking on the door....

It's a cold one here in the outer parts of Baltimore County this morning with temps in the teens....Oh boy did that warm bed and lots of covers feel soooooo good this morning, it took all the effort in the world for me to roll out of bed this morning.

I got all my Christmas cards filled out last night for the exchange, today, I'm heading out to the post office to get some stamps and tomorrow I will get them all in the mail. We are in full packing mode at home, but have yet to nail a new home. We have been unsuccessful so far in all of our attempts of putting offers in on a home to purchase. Last night, we put a contact in for house that we saw, visited and liked a lot, wish us luck.

Lisa has been walking around the house singing; "I'll be homeless for Christmas....", not really, but that's what's she's singing, I think it's funny. Our settlement date is Dec. 27th on our home, oh this will be fun.... Watch, we haven't had any snow for 2 years and we will get a blizzard on the day we move, lol...

If we don't get this house or find a home, Lisa's parents have offered for us to stay with them for a little bit until we do so; that was nice of them....

Well, have a good Monday, wish us luck and have a good day....:yahoo:

Good luck with your offer!!

Praying for you guys =]

That is nice of the in laws to let you stay with them if you need it.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!! It's going to be a cold day here with a high of 34 degree's. Right now we are at 27. So we won't be warming up to much. Not a whole lot on the agenda for today but what I do have to do, is going to take a while. At least the tree is up and I can do it by the glow of christmas lights. If I get done early enough, I'll take some pictures of my decorations and get them posted. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Did I tell y'all about the tree I saw at Costco that had both white lights and multi-colored lights? I think you could have it cycle with white, then multicolored or do all white or all multi-colored. I didn't check the price, but it might be worth looking into.

Balsam Hill has one similar to that. It's pre-wired with both multicolor and white lights. It has a remote control that allows you to choose either or both. But, as has already been mentioned, you pay premium prices at Balsam Hill. (My tree is Balsam Hill, but it's only 4-1/2 and non-lighted.)

Yummo for the cookies. We went to KFC last night and bought the 10-piece bucket special to have for tonight. The weather has been pretty nice here in northern California. We are still working hard to be ready for the concrete contractor. Timing is everything and the wind and rain has not been kind this past week. Cuddle up with your afghan and do some relaxing and reading. Have fun. Glad Mr. is better. Take care, both of you!

Thank you kindly!

Orange anything sounds good to me. I love it! I don't really like to eat oranges per se, but I do love the flavor.

We must be related ... when given my choice of something like hard candy or a popsicle or Kool-Aid, I ALWAYS have chosen orange.

So funny, Made. Either she has been watching too much Valerie or she just wants to drink up!

Knowing Palmer I'd say both! :lol:

Good morning, Christmas family!

It was nice to sit down with coffee and catch up on the boards here - the rest of the day is going to be so very busy.

Have a MERRY day!!!
