Christmas Countdown - 2014

[sugar142286]

Good Morning!

Almost there.
<< "There"? Where, Crown? >>
To our next Milestone, that's where.

Days to the Season: 246
Days to Christmas Day: 288

That Milestone being the 1/3 point to the Season.
It's under half a week away, now.
<< Wow, Crown! >>
Wow, indeed.


Ah!
Warm weather.
How I covet it.
And for now, it is here in spades.
Not so by Thursday, however, when we are supposed to dip into the mid 20's with possible precip.
Hey! No fair! You've gotten us used to warm weather now, Mother Nature!
(Oops. It's not nice to chasten Mother Nature.)
We are just under 64 degrees here at this hour.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Vivacious Visit to the 'Pines this evening.
Even with no advance notice (warning?) of what Carl is up to, it's always bound to be interesting and entertaining.
Hoping to see as many of you there as possible!

Can't believe we're almost there! Hope you're enjoying your day and Happy Pines Day!

made quiche for dinner, never made it before, it is actually easy to make. This one had bacon, asparagus tips, onion and cheese in it.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It seems my life has gotten so busy lately, I hardly have time to check-in here. I have to get this under control!

I had another un-fun meeting with the other local governments yesterday. There are a lot of hard feelings going around, and I hate that. The mayor of the largest town in our county is a friend. I worked for him while I was in college, and I learned a lot from him. Now he's the one causing all this grief, and it's hard to believe. Oh well. All I can do is the right thing, and hope we still get along when it's over.

Elizabeth signed up for an intensive ballet camp this week, so it's every evening until 8:30 pm, and all day Saturday. Another busy week!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good evening, Brad. So sorry you're having to go through all that, but hopefully it all gets worked out.

Hoping Elizabeth has fun at camp this week! Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Good Morning everyone!

I miss my daily visits! It seems most the time I "post and run" and I usually like to sit back and read what everyone is up to but just haven't had time. Forgive me!!! Just know that I do think of you all often!

Yesterday was in the 80's and now back down in temp and will be down to 34 overnight - YAY!!! I love the cold!

I hope you all have a Merry Day!!!

Good evening, CAH! You don't need to be sorry - we know you're busy. Miss you too and hope you're well. Hope you're having a wonderful day!

I will take my "office in a box" home with me tonight so I can work from home in case I don't feel safe driving in the morning. I hate ice, too!

I'm so glad you are to work from home if necessary, that's great!

Good morning friends. I hope you all have a great day and maybe we can hang out at the Pines tonight. Crown mentioned there's been no advance warning of what Carl is planning, and that scares me! I worry the most when Carl's quiet!

Have a great Wednesday!

Good evening, Ryan! Hope you're having a great day. Happy Pines Day!

I'm glad your appointment went well. Continued prayers for Maggie!



Happy Birthday to your mom! Have a wonderful time out with your family today!


Be safe, HmG!

Thank you so much!

Good afternoon, MMC!

The snow is almost over here ~ not sure how much has fallen as it is very windy out. White-out conditions at times. The temperature is falling fast and we will hit negative digits for the low tonight. I'm nice and cozy inside so all is good! Propane was delivered today ~ it went down 30 cents a gallon! Yay!!!

Working on the little things that seem to take forever to do and when you have finished them, it doesn't look like you have really accomplished much at all. Busy, busy!

Be safe and MERRY!!!

I'm happy you're safe and warm inside today. I hope you have a relaxing evening!

That is the cutest!!!!!! :-D


Good (FREEZING!) afternoon! Just wanted to jump on here quick to say hello! We had computer problems all day yesterday - go figure - boss was out of town! Always happens that way! A day I could play & no computer. :lol: It's snowing/blowing/freezing right now. Started out early morning pouring down rain, changed to sleet/freezing rain & has been snowing since about 11 am. It's not enjoyable snow - it's wet & the kind that feels nasty when it hits your face (thanks to the 30 mph wind!) Ah well...this too shall pass! : -) Hope you are all having a GREAT Hump Day/Pines Day....see you later at the Pines~!

Thank you Holiday!
I hope you're having a great day, stay safe out there!

Mmm, that sounds good!

I hope you had a wonderful family time. :]



Good evening everyone! I can't believe I actually managed to do it but I did it. I did my assessment in one day! It was crazy. I spent almost whole day in front on my laptop but I finished it way before the deadline. And I guess that's me done with assessments for this semester. :] (I only have a formal discussion regarding to my essay with one of the lecturers in two weeks time but that's not a big deal.) Things should get a little easier from now on.

Your support guys helped A LOT.

I went for another walk (yes, again) earlier this evening to stretch my legs and take some fresh air and I couldn't resist taking few pictures.

I am now turning my laptop of and giving my eyes a little rest. Sending my best wishes to everyone! *hugs*

Thank you so much Victoria!
I'm happy things should be a bit easier now, you've been working so hard!
Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing! Have a good night!

My 9 year old grandson told his mom that he is "grandma sick". His mom asked what he meant. He explained it's the same as being homesick. Awe!!! He misses me but I miss him too as well as the other 2 grandkids! I just saw him Monday and now he should be here any minute with my other 2 grandkids! No more grandma sick for him! cheesy

That's so incredibly sweet! Hope you enjoyed the time with them!

Good evening, HMG! Happy Birthday to your mom. Enjoy your day with her. I am sure she will enjoy the evening and it will be very special to her. Hope you're having a great evening!

Thank you so much Sugar! Hope you're having a great evening too!

That sounds like our forecast. I'm worried about ice on the roads in the morning. AccuWeather says "watch for a rapid freezeup." Ugh!

Stay safe, Merry Carey!

Good evening!
We are leaving soon to go out to dinner. I wish it wasn't pouring out but at least it isn't snowing! I'm hoping to pop back in before bed. I just realized I'm probably going to miss American Idol tonight. Made, you'll have to let me know how they do!
I hope everyone enjoys their evening!

Hope everyone is well and blessed! I'm sorry I haven't been on much. Between taking back over our company from a partnership and getting my son to all of his events (January to June is the high season for his stuff) it's been crazy around here. We've been out of town for 4 days every week for the past - oh wow - 5 weeks. I didn't even realize it.

HMG hope your mom has a lovely birthday!!

Hope everyone's pups and cats are well!

Many blessings and prayers for your families and that you all have continued good weather!!!

I still have one DVRd item from the Hallmark channel I haven't watched yet. LOL I'm saving it for a day when it's desperately needed. LOL

Great to hear from you. Hope you're well!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's a cool morning here with a temp of 31 right now and falling through out the day. We had almost an inch of rain earlier this morning and now the snow has started. Right now it's only sticking to the grass and cars thankfully. I don't think we will get the 3 inches that they were talking about but we may squeeze out an inch. I have lots I need to get done this morning so I just did a quick read through, hopefully I will get back here later this afternoon to reply to everyone. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening, buddy! Hope you're enjoying your day and staying safe!

I hope it isn't yellow. cheesy
