most roads in area are still closed because of so much blowing snow.

So another day of staying inside trying to keep warm.
I need more candy canes for my hot chocolate!

Hey everyone! The day is coming to an end and it was a great day. Jordan's party was so much fun we are all full of cake and ice cream. We will clean the house in the morning!!! We are heading into the heart of winter now. Jan 10th through feb 10th is generally classified as the "dead of winter" seems like I read that on the weather channel blog..lol...I am looking around my house right now and honest to goodness I have not taken down one Christmas decoration. I have thought about it and on the 2nd I even got the boxes down..but I looked for an excuse to leave them up. I could care less what our company thinks about it. I have taken down the outside decorations but the inside are still up and will be up for the next few days at least.With 5 inches of snow on the ground and a Holiday season that seemed to last 3 days and came and went so fast I find it impossible to take them down and put them up for 10 months!!!
Did anyone notice that Hallmark Channel announced Christmas countdown 2014 will start on November 1st this year. So I guess it is official that the Holidays season will begin the day after Halloween which is fine by me!
Our weather is beginning to get more interesting! We have 50 to 80 percent chances o snow until sunday with the total amount measuring 3 inches which will be great to replenish the old brown snow that has been on the ground for the last 2 months...Lows will be in the mid teens to low 10's with highs in the mid 30's so it will be slushy wet snow but snow nonetheless! Well goodnight everyone we are halfway through the work week...talk to everyone tomorrow!!!

Glad you all had such a wonderful time!!

Yes, I saw that they are already advertising for the 2014 Christmas movies on Hallmark-so exciting!! Something to look forward to =)

Good morning!
In the car on our way to the city.
Chiropractor and some shopping.
(Hope to find some more Christmas gifts and calendar gifts on sale&#128521

Have a great time in the city, Solice! Hope you discover some great sales!!

It seems like our Norwegian winter is in USA..
We have no winter here, for the first time ever!!
But they say it will be colder..
Our first Christmas and winter with no snow or no cold temperatures..
Even flowers starts blooming!!

Well, I hope you have a great day!
Take good care❤

Before I go to bed I just have to sign up for the Bronners email newsletter! They ship to Australia YEAH!!!

"There's no place like home"

Sweet!! Placing an order?!

Goodnight, Virginia~

I hope you stayed warm and cozy last night. When I took Molly and Maggie out before we went to bed, I was actually yelling at them to hurry up, lol. It was painfully cold. I put their coats on but I still worry about them.

I made pulled pork and coleslaw for dinner last night!

Yum!!

I was telling Har to hurry up too! Lol. She spends too much time sniffing around. And then she's down for the count.

Hope the girls stayed warm!

That is an adorable picture, I love it!!!

Thank you, HmG :smile:

Good Morning, Second Wednesday Friends!

Yes, hard though it may be to believe, we have completed a full week of 2014 already and have begun week #2.

This may also be hard to believe, especially to those who have not caught on to and adopted a "Season Count" mentality:
Days to the Season: 309
Days to Christmas Day: 351

And you read that right, Folks.
We are already down to single digits to our first 2014 Milestone marker, 300-day Season Window.

BRRRRR!
We awoke to 10 degrees yesterday morning and it's only improved to 17 degrees this morning. Thank goodness there was no precipitation.
A warming trend should start today and carry us into the weekend.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Vivacious Visit to the Shispering Pines this evening!

And speaking of that, rumor has it that Carl has whipped up another questionable coffee blend after hearing that there was champagne
left over from the New Year's Day open house bash last week.
(Sigh! What won't that camel do, especially with encouragement from der Binger?)

That crazy camel!

Made, looks like the word exchange corruption will begin tonight!

Good Morning! Whew, It's getting warm, the temperature was up to 9 degrees this morning at the house. It's supposed to get up to a steaming 25 today!

Seriously, can you believe that they are saying by Saturday, it's supposed to be in the 50's around here....

It's Hump day, I love hump day...It reminds me of a slide on a swing set, and were half way down it now heading towards the bottom and I just love the thrill when you reach the bottom (Friday)~cheesy

Good Morning, MMC!!

Happy Pines Day!!!!!!

It's still -16 right now, but we may actually hit 1 degree for the high. Fingers crossed.

Hope you all have a blessed and fabulous day!!

See you at the Pines tonight!!

Good morning MMC! Y'all have been a chatty bunch the last few days. I haven't been able to be on here much due to work and the renovation we have going. After some dry walling and sanding I was helping my wife do some dusting and on our entertainment center the dvd's of The Grinch and Its a Wonderful Life were still setting out. I hated to put them in the drawer for another year. So glad our first milestone is upon us.

Oh joy :/

Thanks, but unfortunately he has quite a few calls ahead of ours. Going to be this afternoon sometime.

Praying it's quicker, somehow!!
IMO, they need to call more people out in a situation like this.

Don't burn up with that heat wave.

All joking aside, quicker than we realize, we will all be complaining about excessive heat! Summer will be here before we know it...years seem to get shorter and shorter each year.

I know , some days I can't keep up on here. I hope the renovation is moving along nicely. I also put away some Christmas DVDs yesterday. I felt sad to put them away but also a little excited when I think that I'll soon be putting them back out again.

Good morning MMC. Hope you have a great Pines Day. Anyone heard what that crazy camel has planned tonight?

Oh dear , I hope it gets sorted soon! Hopefully he can pop by sooner than expected and if not then I hope he doesn't get delayed....

I find that as I get older the years get shorter. I remember when I was a child a year felt like such a long time but now I realise how fast it can go.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's another cold day down south, too, starting at 18° here in Bellville. But, it's supposed to get up to 50° by the afternoon, so I guess I have to do some work...when I get off work. It'll be in the 60's tomorrow & Friday, then the 70's this weekend. What a change!

I need to walk out in the plant for a minute. I'll be back soon.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning, friends! I had a busy night at work again and I'm pretty tired this morning. I hoping to catch a 2-3 hour nap, then DH, the kids and I are going to head out and go grocery shopping. Oh joy! My favorite!

I will be back later to get caught up! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Happy Pines Day!

OH NO!!!! Why does it always seem that the heating systems craps out just when you need it the most... :-?

I hope and pray that you can get someone out there right away so your you, your house/ pipes, do not freeze up!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a cloudy dreary day here with some snow showers moving through this afternoon. It looks like we may see another inch of snow but nothing major. The good news is that we are going to warm up to the upper 20's!!!! Talk about a heat wave!! My plan for today includes more shoveling. I have one more neighbor's car to clean out around and then I want to get the mailboxes shoveled out. I'll probably go ahead and put some salt down too now that it's warming up. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
