Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Christmasstar]

Prayers please. I can only post this on MMC because Joshua does not want Tiffany or Benjamin to find out yet, and they both post on Facebook. He needs time to get ready for treatments and wants to concentrate on making arrangements and dealing with his own emotions. Tiff gets quite emotional, sometimes overly so. Joshua met with his oncologist today. Without chemo, he may have up to six months. With chemo, he may have up to 22 months. If you have a prayer list or prayer chain at your church or in your community, please put Joshua Zink's name (and Melissa's too) on it. I believe in prayer and in an all-powerful God. And I truly need physical, emotional, and mental strength.

prayers going up, many ((((HUGS)))) for all of you

Good Morning to all.... It's Friday - Yea!!!!!

Oh boy, I got a lot going on today. First off It's Lisa's Birthday today and were all going out this evening for dinner, because also, Zachary is coming home tonight from his active duty stint...
And we are also getting ready to take Victoria back to school tomorrow, yes, back to college already (man the summer sure did fly by....)!

We finally, just received, the signed contract from the people, who's house we just purchased; so now it's a done deal and we are the only ones that can break the contract now. So now we head into all the inspections of the home; the overall home inspection, pest, septic, well, radon, etc.... hoping that all goes well.

So, Wow, a lot going on with us right now! But, I have a smile on my face and happiness in my heart~

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good Morning, Friendly Friday Folks.

And once again, it's time to enjoy Weekend Eve while contemplating the enormity of the latest count figures:
Days to the Season: 83
Days to Christmas Day: 125

And they tell us most clearly that we are now down to UNDER half a week
until the 2/3 Milestone to Christmas Day.
(Really closing in quickly on this one!)


A distinct warm turn has occurred here and we broke 90 degrees yesterday.
On the positive side, that's only the 3rd 90+ day we've had all of August --
and that ain't bad!
We are at 73 degrees here right now.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And a Wonderous Weekend start this afternoon!

Good evening,

I just want to say thank you again for all the support.

My wife & I had our planned date night tonight, we were originally going to cancel it but we changed our minds. We needed to get out without the boys, and get ready for this rough weekend.

I do want to say that I may be scarce for the next 4-5 days with family coming in and everything else that goes on with the funeral. I will try to pop in at least once a day.

Good night, everyone.

Sending hugs & prayers ~
xx

Praying for all of you, friend. Especially for strength, peace, comfort, and excellent medical care.
Sending you lots of love & support~

I will request prayers from the Franciscan Sisters at the convent near my hometown [emoji171]

Take care of yourself, and get your countdown clock set, because your on the homestretch now.....FYI; My son is back from Sheppard AFB now and is here in Maryland at Warfield Air National Guard Base (175th wing), wrapping up his last week on active duty and is set to come home tonight.

Enjoy your time with him, friend!

Good morning MMC ~
Still no Internet in my house, maybe it will be fixed today. I'm heading out soon to run a few errands. I need to get back here because we have a repairman coming to the house later to look at our dishwasher, my husband realized its been leaking. This is a brand new dishwasher and the worst part is the wood floor has some damage from the leak. We can't catch a break lately. My hubby turned the radiant heat on, he's hoping it will help to dry it out. I have the heat & the A/C on right now. If this floor needs to be sanded down and refinished I am not going to be a happy camper. I already woke up weepy today because my daughter leaves for college one week from today! Anyway, I've got to run. I'll pop back in when I can. I hope everyone has a nice day!
