Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Holiday]

Oh they had to do that too. I don't know how I could forget that. I had to adjust seats, handlebars, and training wheels for them.

FUN!!!!! :grin:

I was hurting like crazy when those ants were biting me all up, screaming and was kicking my flip flops off in the yard. I ran like crazy in the house then as I stood in the bath washing all the ants off my feet I started laughing thinking how I must have looked out there. I live across the street from an elementary school, I bet the kids were watching me too! That was probably the best entertainment they had all day!

I just seem to find humor in just about anything even if I get hurt! Ha ha!

Oh my! :lol: Not funny that you were getting bit by ants, but I can just see the kids looking out the window watching you jumping around. Makes me chuckle!!! Glad you are able to laugh about it!

Aw, it is awesome that Jay made an appearance! I'm glad you had a lovely Easter!

It was awesome! Thanks! We did have a lovely Easter much like many others here - egg hunt, bike ride or walk, ham,& too much other food - Cincinnati Reds on tv, then golf... sitting outside in lawn chairs, corn hole games going... beautiful day!



You all have been chatty!!! I have a lot of catching up to do! Lol

I gave our grandchildren their Easter Baskets yesterday. You would think I gave them gold! I didn't give them a ton of stuff either! They kept thanking me over and over and over! I kept getting tons of hugs too! They thanked me off and on for nearly an hour then again when they left. I just love the way they appreciate the little things in life! It warms my heart! cheesy

You just have to laugh at things in life! Things happen and if you are not seriously hurt physically or emotionally, laugh it off! Life is way too short!

At the time it was happening I was freaking out a bit but I am okay!!!

Good Easter Monday evening, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone having a great day!

I spent a busy day at home catching up, or I should type, trying to catch up on things. Still so much to do, but that is good as I like to be busy!

Dishes are waiting so I will talk to you tomorrow!

Merry dreams!!!

Hope you had a good night & wishing you a good day today!!!

Thank you so much!
I will keep your mom in my prayers, I hope she continues to improve.
My daughters doctor appointment went well. She had fluid in her ears but it has cleared up. And he still thinks we should hold off on taking her tonsils out. So we really don't have to follow up with him again. For now!
Thankfully my youngest found prom shoes today, she also picked up a little purse to match.
I hope you are having a wonderful day as well!!!
xx

Sounds like you had a darn good day. Glad daughter is better & that your youngest found shoes!!!

Happy Monday everyone!

We are getting rain! The western half of the state, where I posted the pics from Saturday, needs this. Our farmers and ranchers are desperate, so this is a blessing.

I finished mowing the yard just in time. Highs in the high 70s to mid-80s all week.

Hope you all have a great week!

Happy to hear you are getting the needed rain!!!! Hope you get some more!

I am tired, not feeling good and my feet hurt. Did I say I am tired? I would go to bed but dancing with the stars is on. .
I was around to many Easter lilies on the weekend, I am allergic to them. I tired real hard to avoid them, but they were everywhere!!!

Ok, enough feeling sorry for myself, back to the show!

Hope you are feeling better today CS!

Good evening, MMC!!

It was a crazy day! LOL!! Just got caught up at work, and now I'm home relaxing a bit before bed.

My Mom just called me and unfortunately, she lost her balance last night and injured her left knee now. She is in even more pain, and went to urgent care- Torn ligaments
I feel so bad for her. She can't catch a break lately! Two steps forward, two steps back. I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and messages. Can you please continue to pray for her?
Thank you, friends~

Work is going really well, and I'm still loving it! The doctor I work for is showing me more things each week, and being a CA for him is so much more in depth than being one in Vegas. Very interesting & challenging!

Well, better go spend time with my little peanut, she wants some attention =]

Have a great evening!!

xx

Awe - I am so sorry to hear that about your Mom! Sounds like she needs to come see the doctor you work for! Maybe he can whip her back into shape. The poor lady!! I'll send up prayers that she heals quickly!

Thanks, Buddy!!!! Bill is a funny (and annoying sometimes) guy even if he is convinced that I am going to die in a couple of weeks!!!! :lol:

Tomorrow he will probably be planning my funeral and trying to sell me his burial plots in Cincy that he isn't going to use now!!!

xx

Um - we would like to keep you around a little longer than a couple weeks!

I am laughing right now because I thought of you when Wayne mowed the lawn the other day. I remember you saying you had a certain way to mow the lawn. When Wayne got done I thought of how you would never want him to do your lawn! :lol:

Jacob can mow ours! We don't care how it's done, we just want it done!

When we first moved to Bellville, the lady who lived next door to us (God rest her soul) was very specific about how I was supposed to tend to my yard. I guess it stuck. :lol:

That would be a fun celebration! I love traveling by train, sign me up!!! =)

It will be pretty cool. They're taking passengers about 30 miles up the tracks, then back for the next group.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be another lovely day here with a high in the mid 60's and hardly a cloud in the sky. Not to much on the agenda for today. Just more cleaning to do and then hopefully I'll get to spend some more time out of the porch tonight. I can't stay out there to long though. Deadliest Catch starts back up tonight and they said this is going to be one of the most drama filled seasons yet. So I have to watch it!!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

Good morning, MMC!!
Hope you have a blessed & beautiful day!!

Your neighbor would hate our way of tending the lawn! lol

I'm not caught up yet, but I'm going to take a minute to jump in & say Good Morning MMC!!! I hope you are all having a great morning!

Last night was a productive night. I got things cleaned up that didn't get done after the party Sunday night. I met Jim at the garden & we planted 3 types of lettuce, radish, sugar peas, 3 types of carrots, kohlrabi, candy onions, german butterball potatoes & red beets! So glad to be that far along with the garden - FINALLY! We got home around 9:00 & I took off on a 3 mile walk with my neighbor. It was so nice outside, I just didn't want to go in! So I had supper at 10:00! LOL! Today is not going to be as nice with a high of 58º & crazy wind! Sun was out earlier but it's pretty dreary looking now!

Make it a great day everybody!!!

:notice:

Merry Tuesday!

I woke up this morning feeling a little glum. My eldest is back at school today and hubby is back at work. The weather has also turned so it is dismal and raining. But I am already feeling better in spirits. I am so glad I have you all here for company

I have a ton of work to get through so it looks like a day in front of the PC. Fingers crossed my youngest will let me!!!

Ok well I will probably pop in again later. I am sorry if I missed any important news, I couldn't read/reply to all the posts.

Have a pleasant, easy going day everybody!

Good Morning, Festive!!!!! Hope the rain moves out quickly and that you can get your work done!!!

 

[made582]

Found a peep that reminded me of LOVE ... Omggggggggg

Sweet!!!! :lol:

242 till Lovemas .... Omggggggggggggg

WooHoo!!!!!! It's going to be one heck of a party this year!!!

 

[made582]

mornings come to early sometimes, it is still dark out...and its raining. I have to pick up mom at my brothers this morning, she has a routine appointment at Dr. at 8:30am. So I have to leave here at 7:30.

So for now I am enjoying a cup of lemon honey tea, watching cake boss and trying to feel better.

Hope mom's appointment went well and that you are starting to feel better now!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

Ahhh!!! Summer is coming way too early here. It will be almost 90 degrees this Saturday! The low in the morning will be in the 70's. Triple digits will be here soon. I need a summer home up north! =)

I hope you all have a great day!

Yuck!!! Keep that heat down there!!!!!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had to do some work on my after-hours business yesterday, but I really needed to be on the lawn mower. My yard looks terrible! Nancy says I should put Jacob on the mower, but I have a specific way I like the lawn cut (45° to the street), and I can't trust him to do it correctly. LOL

I think I mentioned that this year is the 100th anniversary of our county, and each city in the county has a designated week of celebrations at different times during the year. I wanted Christmas, but the centennial committee didn't plan for a Christmas celebration. :sad:

Anyway, our week is the first week in June, and we're hosting passenger train rides from our historic depot, along with other displays, vendors, etc. It should be lot of fun!

We were remodeling city hall in anticipation of all the people, and our contractor just quit to take a full-time just in Atlanta. Now I have to meet with a new contractor at lunch, so no rest for the weary.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

The celebration sounds fun!!!! Hope you like the new contractor!!!

I would never be able to mow your yard either. It use to look like a drunk person mowed ours when I was younger.

I gave our grandchildren their Easter Baskets yesterday. You would think I gave them gold! I didn't give them a ton of stuff either! They kept thanking me over and over and over! I kept getting tons of hugs too! They thanked me off and on for nearly an hour then again when they left. I just love the way they appreciate the little things in life! It warms my heart! cheesy

Aww, your grandkids are so sweet!!!!!

 

[made582]

Um - we would like to keep you around a little longer than a couple weeks!

I'd prefer to stick around a little longer than that too but everyone around me is convinced that I am going to die when I go camping over the first weekend of May.

I hope you get your cleaning done and enjoy your time out on the porch. I always like it when a favourite show returns on TV. Have fun watching tonight!!

That is wonderful that you got so much planting done? How is your BIL feeling? I hope his recovery is coming along well.

We had a touch of sun and dry weather last week but that all gone now. That might have been our summer LOL!

I remember you mentioning the 100 celebration some time ago. How exciting to be a part of planning it. I hope it all turns out well. Good luck finding a suitable contractor, I would be so stressed!

Thanks, Buddy!!!! I just saw that they are having a new Brian Williams Raps on the Tonight Show so I have to stay up for it now!!!

We watched the first few minutes of it, but I made sure my DVR was set, since the new episodes are coming back on. I did see the rap. It was good!

Good Morning, Drawing-Near-to-Another-Milestone Friends.



Yep.

We are.

We really are.



Just look:

Days to the Season: 205

Days to Christmas Day: 247



In fact, we are just barely over half a week away from the 1/3 Christmas Day marker.

Add a day to that, and we arrive at the 200-day Season Window.

(Getting mighty close to a rare double-day Milestone event!)





Real nice here yesterday with our high in the low 70's, gentle breezes, no rain and lots of sun.

"Enjoy it while you can" they say.

And they're right. Because today sees rain and cooler temps return.

We have started out at 49 degrees here in central NC.





Have a Terrific Tuesday, All!

So exciting!!!
