Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Good afternoon MMC! It's a lovely day in Ohio! Go figure - back to work Monday & the weather turns awesome! :lol: Looking forward to quitting time so I can get outside!
Weekend was good. Too fast as always. 4 graduations down, 4 to go! By Sunday night I am going to be sooo burned out of graduation parties - heck, I'm burned out already! Lol! It's nice to be invited but it's not really my 1st choice of things to do on Memorial weekend. HA! We'll get through it! ;-)
Hope you all had a great weekend ~ I'm off to try to read through some posts!!
Have a great Monday!

Good evening Holiday! I hope you're having a great day as well!!!

I'm worried. Mr. went home from the office mid-morning because of something going on with one of his eyes. From his description I'm scared it could be a detached retina. He has an appointment with our eye doctor (a very good one) at 4:30 to have it checked out, and I've been distracted all day while trying to look normal at the office. We're both proofreaders, so our eyes are our livelihood. Prayers, please.

Sending up prayers!

Good afternoon, HMG! Hope you're having a great day!

I am, thanks!!!

Aw, they are so cute!

They really are, I can hear them quacking from inside the house when I have my sliding glass door open.

I talked to my brother who also has a pool, they used netting , draped it about 6 feet over the pool on poles and no ducks came anymore. He says it is not esthetically pleasing, but does the job.

Thanks Star! Last year we put a couple of tubes in the pool and that seemed to work. My husband threw them out at the end of the season so I'll have to pick up a couple of new ones and try that again.

Thank you both. We found some beautiful flowers and we asked to write some words on the ribbon. At the end, the composition turned out nicely. The Mass was hosted at the honour of our course mate at the church in the campus by the priest who came all the way from Glasgow. We also had a chat with the headmaster and the priest who stayed at the campus until
7 p.m. for anyone who desired a talk with him to come and do that. I think it was very touching of him to stay and offer a personal emotional talk to anyone who needed that.

I'm glad the mass went well Victoria (((hugs)))
I hope you have a good night.

Good evening, all! Hope you're all having a great day. The kids and I are headed out to eat with my parents. Hope you all enjoy your evening!

Have fun Sugar!!!

Good evening, MMC!

There are storms on the way here. I'm so thankful that the water receded in the basement because it looks like there is a lot of rain on the way. Hopefully the storms lose their staying power once they pass over the lake! Chores are waiting for me and then I will be working on some stuff for the store. If time permits, I will either read or watch some episodes of The Lucy Show. I bought a DVD set at a garage sale a few years ago and finally got around to watching one of the discs on Saturday. Some of the episodes were quite funny!

MERRY dreams, my dear friends!

Good evening Meceka!
I hope the storms aren't too bad!
Enjoy the rest of your evening!!!

So jealous!! I will have to turn it on when I get home, if it's still on!!! ENJOY!

Thanks, I did!


:thumbsup:

Thank you! It is going well. Hope yours is too!

Thanks, it's been pretty good.

Minus the rain- it's been torrential downpours all day, and poor Harlowe is a ball of nerves because of the thunder.

Enjoy the rest of your night!

Praying for Mr., and you.
Please keep us posted, friend.

Made, praying your niece is better!

Festive, I'm glad you were able to go out near the sea on Saturday. Hope the week ahead is a MERRY one for you and that the unpredictable weather that is forecast is not serious! My prayers continue for Isaac! {{{HUGS}}}

Snowflake, I hope the rain lets up soon! {{{HUGS}}}

Binger, that is a big duck! Hope the week ahead is a MERRY, java-filled one for you!

Brad, I hope your week ahead is a MERRY one, too!

Holiday, you must need to rest after your whirlwind weekend of activities ~ good thing it is Monday! :wink: I hope this finds Buster doing well and Ms. Gracie staying out of trouble! Have a MERRY week!

Sugar, enjoy your day off with the kids! {{{HUGS}}}

Thank you, Meceka~ I hope so, too!!

Well, there you go! Good idea.

the old or the new one?

The newer one, I love them both. Both charming & sweet.

That was very lovely of you guys. And also very kind & supportive of the priest to stay after the service <3


I hope you will feel better soon. :]



Enjoy the summer! I hope you and your family is doing great as well.



It looks like a busy time for you. ^^ So many graduations at once.

***

After sunny and warm day, the sky is now dark and scary with thunder in the background:

I actually enjoy the sky like this and thunder in the summer. Weird, I know, but I've been liking this since I was little.

I love skies like that, too =]

Have a good night, Victoria.

(((Hugs)))

Thanks, buddy!

Unfortunately, not. Hasn't stopped pouring since it started, around 9:30 this morning. They closed down part of the interstate, even. High winds, rain, thunder, plus accidents everywhere. I pray that it stops soon.

Thank you for the prayers and positive thoughts, everyone. Our eye doctor thinks Mr. may have a torn retina, and has referred him to a specialist. He's going to try to get an appointment this week. Hopefully it can be repaired in the office. His other eye is perfectly clear, so that's a good thing.

Continued prayers & positivity coming your way, friend. Hope Mr. can get in soon, and get it checked out and treated.
