Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning everyone!



It's a wet one this morning in Ottawa. Actually, it's keeping with theme of yesterday. We had a massive downpour at about 4pm yesterday. Heavy rain and high winds knocked down some trees a few blocks away and throughout Ottawa. Luckily, I haven't heard of any injuries. Phew!



I leave for Cornwall in just over an hour. The forecast there seems like it could be overcast for the afternoon. Hopefully it doesn't rain! The wedding ceremony is taking place outdoors, so it can't rain! Overall, I think it will be a great ceremony.



Tonight will be a little strange, neither of us will be with our big guy (Simon). Kim didn't want him to stay alone though, her friend Olivia is coming over to spend the night with Simon. The kitty will be in good hands with her here.



Well, I haven't packed or anything just yet. Perhaps I really should get on this. Thankfully, I only really have to bring one set of clothes and my dress clothes for tonight.



In Christmas terms, I put on some Christmas music this morning while eating breakfast. I think I will continue needing a little bit extra Christmas until the Blossoms thread debuts. I suspect it will be in full swing about three weeks from now... We shall see!



OK, time to get things done. I hope everyone has a great Saturday. More than likely, I will not be here tomorrow, so have a fantastic weekend as well!

That is great that Olivia is coming over to stay with Simon, he will be in good hands.

It is hard for us to leave Harlowe, too. We have family or friends stay with her as well.

Enjoy your Christmas music [emoji319]

Have fun at the wedding!

Good damp morning everyone.

A big storm ripped through our town. Some trees across town were uprooted! Our basement started to flood. Thankfully I came down to check it and it only flooded our laundry room. Going to need some prayers here. I think someone is testing me. Our Van broke down and now needs replacing. The laundry room flooded so I was up all night and found out there are tree roots in the pipe. At work they moved me to another contract because the old one closed. They then lowered my pay back to the rate I was making 10 years ago when I started with the company. I think Carl might have to have an extra party for me at the Pines! As Kermit would say...Sheesh! Well hope everyone has a floating free day! lol

It never rains, but it pours. I'm sorry things are not going your way right now, but as my mother-in-law always says, "now ain't always." I'll be praying for better times for you and your family.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is just around the corner!

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

We took Jacob and his buddy to eat and see a movie last night. My plan was to drop the boys off at the theater, then go with Nancy & Elizabeth to the mall. After I bought their tickets, I realized it was rated R. So, I had to go with them.

Snowflake, we saw "As Above, So Below", and it scared the snot out of the boys LOL. Me, not so much, but they loved it. The R rating was probably for language, though. When things got intense, they dropped the "f" bomb a few times. I don't know why they think people want to hear that. Other than that, it was pretty good.

This evening we're grilling for Jacob's birthday with the family.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Sounds like a fun night!

Thanks for telling me about the movie, I love seeing creepy ones in the theater!
Glad the boys enjoyed it, and that you got to see it too.

Have fun grilling this evening! Happy Birthday to Jacob!! [emoji320]

Everyone is out walking with their dogs & families, biking, roller blading, etc.!

I saw this on FB last night:

I love snow, but I want Fall first

That is crazy, too! 6 inches?!

I remember freezing as a kid, going trick-or-treating, with flurries or rain.
But I never cared! It was too much fun! [emoji316]

Homemakingirl, I saw someone quote you with a wrecked car in the picture. What happened? I cannot find the original post. I know you mentioned your daughter is fine, so that's good!

Nice!

I would be fine taking the snow first. Ha ha! But I know what you mean! I guess us Texans try to take any cold we can get and as much as we can get!

Happy Saturday everyone. We are having what feels like our first autumn day. It is so dull and grey out that you would think it's close to dusk. I also got the first autumn/winter smell of the season - you know that smoky,woody smell. It is really chilly out.

Mr. Festive due back home tomorrow and we are looking forward to it!

Anyway, I hope you all are having a good weekend!

Take care
Sam

P.S. Is Jeff on vacation you think? I messaged him to say I think there has been some sort of mix up with my membership but heard nothing back. I guess he might be away.

I can understand that!

But I just love Fall so much! We get 6+ months of winter, so I really appreciate what we get of Autumn =]

Not a summer person, although I appreciate every season to a certain extent! Just some more than others, lol.

Well I was the lead male vocalist in my Church's choir when I was a kid. Now granted there was only 3 of us, but I was the lead. LOL!!!!

Gradually moderating temps and humidity. And the rain has been holding off for the most part.
Really looking forward to next week based on the weather forecast.
We have started out this first September weekend at 73 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Sensational Saturday, Folks.
And enjoy your first 'ber Weekend!

Have a great Saturday, Crown!!!!!

Good morning!
It is going to be hot and humid today with showers/storms passing through this evening. We'll start cooling down tomorrow, looking forward to that. Not too much going on here today. I'm going to sneak out of here soon and get my food shopping over with. Then I'll be working on a few chores around the house. My parents just got back from spending a week in Florida so I'm going to visit them as well. I hope everyone has a Happy Saturday!

Have fun shopping and visiting with your parents!!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time lately. Keeping you in my prayers, Undrtakr.

Morning, friends! Hope all is well. Late night here with the football game, but we won so it's all good!

Going to be a day of shopping, yard work, and football. A typical fall afternoon, although we aren't quite having fall temps. We will be in the 90's through Wednesday, then it's supposed to start cooling down.

Hope everyone has a great day! See y'all tonight!

Congrats on the win!!!! Have shopping today and looking around Hobby Lobby!!!!!

Enjoy the fall like day!!!!! Hope Mr has a safe trip home too!!!

As far as I know Jeff isn't on vacation. He may just be busy with work. If you don't here from him soon, you might try messaging Maureen. She might be able to look into it for you.
