Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Holiday]

Good morning MMC!!! What a beautiful day!!! In 1 1/2 hours it will be even more beautiful!!! :lol: Sun is shining, light breeze & a high of 77º today. Bring it on!! Hoping to work in the garden this afternoon, then head to the lake & hop on my bicycle! My friend Missy was over at 5:45 this morning & we got a 3 mile walk in! It felt great! Need to do that every morning!!! Tomorrow morning I have to take pictures for a 5k run, so have to be up early again! Hopefully I'll get my own 5k &/or a bike ride in after that!

I'm off to read some more posts. Hope you all have a nice weekend planned!

my brother is at hospital with possible broken ankle. He was at work and it got pinned between a post and an electric pallet. ( he works on a berry farm in the lower mainland in British Columbia)
He is the supervisor and the first aid guy so he had the authority to treat himself !
Please pray for him that it will not be to serious.
Thanks

Sending up prayers CS!

Are you speaking of Leinenkugel's Lemon Berry Shandy? If so, you better buy lots b/c I am on my way!!!!! :grin:

We actually went on a tour of their brewery when I went to visit Snowflake and did the sampling at their store. The Berry Weiss is my favorite. I can live with the Lemon Berry Shandy though!!!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

Bellville Railroad Day is finally upon us! I still haven't written my speech, but I don't think it'll be too difficult. I'm not one of those long-winded mayors who likes to hear himself speak. Besides, we're riding the 10:30am passenger train excursion from Bellville to a town about 20 miles away, then back.

And after that, I'M PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!!
:???:

I hope Nancy will take some pix of us playing so I can post them.

Y'all have a great day! cheesy

Best of luck tomorrow. I am sure it will all go well, you're a pro after all! As for playing with your band - break a leg ( well not literally) LOL!

I demand photos!

Good evening,

My foot, blah, blah, blah, hurts. Work as a long day, I walk very slow right now but I am still accomplishing almost all I need to. School ends here in two weeks, the kids are starting to lose focus, I remember how excited I use to get at this time of year. (it wasn't like Christmas excited though)

I went very quickly through tonights posts and I am very tired. I kept missing the letter I in the word recital and started laughing until reread it in the multiple posts it was in. (I know, I need to grow up) cheesy

5:30 gets here waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to soon.


Good night, everyone.

Hope your foot is feeling better every day!! Hope your having a good day!

The dinner turned out great. I am not bragging but it really was good. ^^ My friend is back to the capital city for her work placement but she will be back in two weeks so I hope to meet her then. :]



Praying because today's world scares me sometimes, especially when things like this happen.



Glad to hear things are getting better for you. Best wishes!



I am sure they won't face any bears and will have a wonderful time instead. :]



I hope the pain will relieve soon. :]

Good morning everyone! Another beautiful day here. Finishing my cup of coffee (I love our coffee machine. I miss it when I am in Scotland) with soya milk and looking for a ticket to book for the flight to Scotland. I've found few of them for reasonable price so I might buy one today before the price increases.

These are few snapshots from railcross European challenge we went to last Sunday. My mum got a VIP ticket since she works at the bank which sponsors the challenges. There are two more coming up. I will miss the one in July but I hope to see the final one in August. I am not a fan of autosports in general but things definitely get excited when the races are seen live. It was a good fun. ^^

I wish everyone a happy Friday!

What did you end up making? Looks like you had a great time Sunday! FUN! Good luck on your ticket search!

I could live with that too, though it will knock you on your hiney quicker! :lol: Someone told me if you mix Berry Weiss with a regular beer, you have lemon berry shandy. I tried it. Close, but not the same - I didn't think! :smile: We have talked about taking a road trip in our convertible to the Leinenkugel brewery! I think that would be awesome fun! :grin:

We are VERY busy here in northern California, known to some as the State of Jefferson. We plan to have an inspection on Monday morning and then get busy with the next phase--working on the inside area. Hubby has been checking and rechecking his cabinet calculations and placements.

Because of the "mess," I have not been able to get on to the house computer. Well, that means my iPad has been my main choice for almost all my computer work lately; and then the unspeakable happened! I dropped my iPad, not once, not twice, but three times and shattered the screen along the top portion!!! As you can probably guess, the iPad is really giving me fits! My screen is a showpiece for "spider web" cracks all over. Therefore, it takes forever to do any typing or to "like" a post or even to share a recipe!!! Is my iPad salvageable at all? Can a person replace just the screen? It just is not like it used to be, and I am so frustrated!

In addition, we came home from an overnight trip, and Hubby smelled smoke! He went into the add-on section to the house and discovered a black, sooty streak at the outlet for the fridge! Talk about scary! Kane was here while we were gone, and he discovered the burn mark after he, too, had smelled a burn smell. He reset the breaker for the fridge and then turned off all unneeded stuff: lamps, microwave, and the air conditioner to the travel trailer! Today, Hubby and Kane replaced the plug and moved the fridge to another socket just for the fridge. Now Kane will be able to have AC for the rest of the time he will need it until he moves the trailer. The high temps made Kane need the AC this week, and there was only one outlet for his use until all the plugs have been installed. So scary!

I hope all of y'all are well. I am working on scrapbooking a wedding album for my niece and a baby album for her sister. I am still the gofer around here, too. Take care, and I will check in when I can. You can email me if you can help me with my iPad problem. Thanks!

SEAWATERS! Nice to see you!!! It sounds like you are busy as ever! How scary about the smoke/outlet!! So glad it was caught! Good luck with the rest of your renovation! Hope it goes smooth!!!! Take care! Check in when you can!!

Yogi & Skittles are doing great. I'm going to take them out of their cage soon so they could run around and get some exercise. They're so cute. Skittles is still being a little nippy with me which makes me very nervous! Molly & Maggie are doing well too. They're not happy about the screaming parrot though. It's been fun bird sitting but I'm looking forward to them going back home, lol. It's a lot of work. We have them until Monday so I have a few more days. I took these pictures yesterday -

Good Morning, Weekend Eve Travelers.

And THIS Weekend Eve'er is traveling to the coast this afternoon!

But first, the numbers:
Days to the Season: 160
Days to Christmas Day: 202

Day after tomorrow -- the 200-day Christmas Day Milestone.
Creeping right along, we are!
Closer. Ever closer.


A spot of rain yesterday but nothing significant.
The heat and humidity are inching upward, but it's not bad yet.
(More to come, of course!)
We are at 71 degrees here right now.


Our own Christmas STAR has agreed again to step to the plate to pinch-hit for the count tomorrow and Sunday.
What a relief. No count lapse!
(That would be bad luck, you know.)
Thanks, my friend!


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
See you here Monday morning!

Have a safe & fun trip!

Good morning!
It is going to be a nice day, sunny with temperatures in the mid 70's. It's supposed to be beautiful out all weekend!
My oldest has a routine doctor appointment this morning, I'm going to take a ride with her. We're going to stop at the butcher on the way home so I can get that over with. And then I'll be working on getting my daily chores out the way. I promised my youngest I would go to the mall with her after school, she wants to look for a couple of dresses for graduation day & her party.
The finisher is finally done with our kitchen cabinets. My husband is hoping to start installing them over the weekend. Fingers crossed that all goes well. This project has been going on way too long. It's hard to believe it's finally going to come together!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Good morning, HMG! Sounds like you have a busy day, but I know you tackle it all well! Hope you're daughter's appointment goes well and shopping goes well too! Exciting that the cabinets are done! Have a great day!

How are you today Holiday? I hope that your mum's surgery went well and she is recovering.

I am doing good! Thanks Festive! Glad it's Friday! :smile: I hope you are doing good too? I plan to stop at Moms after work, but as of last night she was doing well!

Sounds like a wonderfully fun and exciting day !
