Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Okay I just had to jump in here and post this... LOL



Earlier today we got a call from a boxing, martial arts coach we've worked with on several occasions. She is going to Thailand, Japan and China for three months starting mid-October, training at different gyms and filming the entire thing for a Sundance independent film. She wondered if Noah would be available to go. She wanted people with her who already had a strong martial arts background, could be respectful of others in different countries, people she could trust and had experience filming. Noah just turned 18 this month. It's an incredible opportunity. We told him when he got home this evening to see if he was interested.



At first he was over the moon excited, then things started to settle in. After about 20 minutes of elation he suddenly drew back and said, "But what about my pups? I don't know if I can stand being away from my dogs for that long. Man - I've never been away from home completely by myself for more than a week, I was several states away, but still in the country. (Long pause while he's thinking - then it dawns on him and he blurts out), WAAAIT a minute!!! If she's leaving mid-October for three months - Does that mean I'd miss Christmas at home with you guys?? I CAN'T MISS CHRISTMAS!!!"



... and my little Christmas-ite heart swelled three sizes that day. *snickers*

:razz:

That is really sweet, he'd miss his dogs & Christmas with his family that much! You raised him right =]

So, did he he make his decision, then?

We had rain (and wind) yesterday! Yoohoo!
And now my terrace is full of brown leaves
It's been so dry here, so many trees have yellow and brown leaves on them..

I guess Autumn is near! ♥

I wish you a wonderful day!
The last one in July! ♥

Good Morning, Solice!!

Your weather sounds beautiful, like FALL!!

Have a lovely Thursday!!

Hi my Christmas friends. How r all of Y all doing? This is Kandice´s first week of summer break....she´s been a good gal...playing playmobil and legos....and she can sleep in since yesterday, since I caught a summerflu...so we don´t have to go anywhere......coughing and sneezing.....it hasn´t gotten worse since yesterday...not better, too....but at least not worse....so i think maybe by tomorrow I´ll be on the rise.....at least I had a little more energy this morning and was able to tidy up a bit, fold some clothes and stuff like this....but I feel the energy leaving again somehow...and will lay down a little after vaccuming the house

 

[snowflake22]

And I hope that Kandice enjoys her summer break!!

Good Morning, Post-'Pines People Perpetually Preferring Permanent Partying.

And what better party to have than one of celebration.

And for that, we need something to celebrate.
Such as this, for instance:
Days to the Season: 105
Days to Christmas Day: 147

And as a further party favor, we have the fact we are now barely FIVE days away from
the 100-day Season Window Milestone and the launch of double-digit count figures to the Season.

Par-tee!!


Real nice weather is holding in this part of the great state of North Carolina.
Precipitation has held off and the humidity has been kept low.
Today, we have commenced at 69 degrees here in this sector of MMC.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
(And, once again, we have Weekend Eve to look forward to tomorrow!)

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Nancy's mom had cornea transplant surgery yesterday, and I think everything went as planned. They let her come home last night, so we took supper to their house. It's not often that I eat at Mrs. Hilda's table that she hasn't cooked the meal.

After supper, I went home and sprayed my yard to kill that crazy @#$%& Bahia grass. I could go two weeks without cutting my grass if it weren't for that stuff, and every time it rains, the Bahia grows 6". Grrrr. But I finally sprayed it down yesterday. That's what you get, Bahia!!

We're still preparing for the long weekend with Elizabeth's Oliver Twist play. That should be fun!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Awe! What a great offer but so sweet to think of all those things first before leaving. =)

Ha! What an exciting offer, though. That's great!!

 

[snowflake22]

Good morning to you!! Great pic! Hope you have a great day!

Thanks, graywolf!!

Hope you have a fabulous day, too!
