Wow....You´ve got a lot stuff going on Sheila!!!!! Post pictures!

I just hope I can do the furniture justice. It belonged to my grandma. The one piece I want to refurbish is my grandmother's first entertainment center - TV and stereo from the early 40's, still intact. It's inside a wooden frame with doors, very pretty already but needs work.


Happy Thursday! Waiting to see what the workload will be like today.

I have my flu shot. Germs and viruses, back off and stay away!

With the damp, cool. cloudy weather, I'm still wishing I could be home working on Christmas playlists and making gingerbread and watching movies. Oh, well, I can do some of that on the weekend---which will be here soon!

P.S. Got some cinnamon-cream creamer at the store last night and tried it in a cup of tea. Mmmmmmm. Very nice!

Oh how I wish I could be baking today!!! 94 degrees and no AC is not a good recipe for baking. Ha ha!

I've been watching CNN this morning and it sounds scary that they have now legally ordered the 4 people who had the most contact with him to stay inside there house until the 19th. Hope they have it contained!!!


(((Hugs)))

Yes they do and a good idea. Let's just hope they don't have the virus then they will have to isolate everyone they came in contact with. Big mess!!!
 
House is cleaned. Dad just came over and we played some cards with Kandice...I told her to try to nap a bit now....She says....Mom.....I´m too big for a babynap.....lmao.....I told her that I know that, but that the nap is because she is sick....and the sleeping/resting helps the healing.

A friend of ours daughter was real upset about having to take naps at school and asked, "Mom, do they make you take naps at work"? Her response, "I wish they did"!!!! :lol:
 
My grandson is quite the thinker and is always coming up with the best questions and thoughts. Here is the latest conversation with his mom.

"Hey mom, I know how to see if the tooth fairy is real or not." She asked, "how?" He said, "I'm going to put a tooth under my pillow and not tell you."


:lol:
 
That is so frustrating!!!
I hate painting the ceiling, next time we do it we will use that one that goes on blue but dries white.

I wish I would have bought that!!! We used it on the ceilings upstairs, but when I bought the paint this time, I didn't even think of it! NEXT TIME I won't forget!

Good evening,

It was one of those nights where the clock seemed to moving backwards, for some reason it just was a slow moving night even though I was continuously keeping busy.

I have a rare Thursday off, not much planned except some laundry. I may head out and check out Goodwill, to see if there is anything new that I could use.

Looks like I may be closing up here at The Pines tonight, not to much going on this late.


I hope you all had a good first of October.

Goodnight, everyone.

I don't like nights like that! Enjoy your day off!!!!!

Oh yeah, if I was dressing up for Halloween this year I found the perfect costume for me.

Today will be cleaning day in my house....at least somehow......arranging...throwing things, vaccuuming, mopping......when that is done...we will go to the store and buy paint.....before Christmas I want the house to look different!!! Kandice wants some blue in her room....I want the living room to have a warmer color then white...maybe some apricot.....heck even cappucino color would look nicer.....we might also move the furniture in the living room to give the place a whole new look......so many things

Exciting!!!! Let me warn you - the people here will tell you they will come to help you paint, but then noooobody shows up!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Good morning, friends~
Wishing you a blessed & beautiful day!

Good morning everyone!

The Pines was fun. Hard to believe we have just welcomed the final month before the beginning of the Christmas Season in November! So exciting! Of course, we will have plenty of sights and maybe a few sounds to get us there.

I am at passport again today. The call never came. At least I have teaching tomorrow.

It is supposed to be a nice fall day with temperatures reaching into the low 20s and mid 60s. Not bad! We will see if it gets there.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday. The weekend is so close!

Merry Thursday!


Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

It's been a busy morning. I had to put together a box of food to take to take to the school. We organise a collection and donate it to the local homeless shelters every year at harvest time. Tomorrow is the children's harvest morning.

I spent the morning cleaning, now I need to get some work done before I pick up my son from school in a couple hours.

Have a great day!

Nice! Have a great day festive!

Good Morning Christmas Friends!

I never heard from the repair man yesterday so we are still without AC. It's our central air out but we still have our window units in our bedroom so we can at least sleep! The rest of the house is like a sauna so I have to lock myself up in the bedroom just to keep cool BUT I am thankful for that! Can't complain too much at least I have some air somewhere! =)

Oh no! I hope you have a tv in your bedroom so you can watch some CHRISTMAS!!! Stay cool!! Hope the repairman comes today!

Dallas local news is flooded with this whole Ebola case. This family live very close to us! Now they have 5 schools in a frenzy because the patient came in contact with 5 kids from 5 different schools. Hopefully it will stay under control and not spread!

They were just talking about this on Fox News. The people they interviewed are down playing it a little - saying there is very little chance of it spreading. I sure hope they are right!!! xx

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be hot here today with a high in the mid 80's. Then rain overnight and a major cool front. They are saying we might not even make it out of the 40's on saturday!! Love it!! It's a pretty stressful morning here. I'm just waiting by the phone to hear from my sister. After I hear from her, I'll explain more about what has been going on. Other than that, not to much going on today. Just the normal daily chores and job searching. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Keeping you all in my prayers. I'm not ready for weather that doesn't get out of the 40s yet. :cold: You keep it. LOL!!! Have a great day made! xx

Sounds like you have something fun to look forward to this weekend. Have a great day Merry!

Good morning mmc! IT's a COLD 40F outside right now...It's funny that the first cool shot of the Autumn makes 40F feel so cold but in 2 months 40 will feel warm! It's suppose to moderate this weekend,lows will still be in the 40's but the highs will eventually get up in the 70's in the afternoons! Perfect early fall weather if you ask me. I was riding around yesterday in the higher elevations around 7000FT and the leaves have aleady begun to fall off the trees, around here at 4000Ft they are at peak but it has happened all in the last week! I remember in the deep south fall lasted a good 4 to 6 weeks where the leaves would change soooo slow! not here, its all donein about 2 weeks,3 tops!

I still have a lot of Halloween décor to put up inside and I will finish it this weekend. Glad this is a 3 day week then the weekend comes....Has everyone been keeping up with there high school/ favorite college football teams this fall? My beloved bulldogs are having a pretty good year so far, we play vandy this weekend, and this past week we played Tennessee and won. Man I love this time of year...Now as I drink my pumpkin spice latte I will go check on the kids, they have been very quiet this morning! Have a good morning everyone!

Funny you mention that how 40 feels cold now, but in January, 40 would be a heat wave!! So true!! Have a great day Dawg!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I know we're all saying it, but I love this time of year, too! It's supposed be really cool this weekend, it's time to close the pool, and Elizabeth is prepping for her Christmas ballet (no Nutcracker this year, sad), and she's practicing with the church choir for the Christmas cantata. Fun!

I'm lighting my first Mulled Cider candle of the season today, too!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Didn't you just open the pool for the season? :-? You reminded me, I forgot to bring my Christmas Apple candle to work today! Darnit! I even have it sitting on the island! Have a great day Brad!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!

I got the ceiling painted last night, a 2nd coat on the dark wall & 1 coat on the 3 lighter walls. It worked out so nice to work through lunch yesterday & have an extra hour of daylight to paint. I may do the same again today! Our electrician friend was over Tuesday night, last night, says he's coming back tonight. I feel like he has moved in with us! :lol: His family probably thinks he has abandoned them! Not much else going on around here. Like made, we are supposed to have temps in the 80's today, then the bottom falls out over the weekend! :cold:

Have a great day MMC!!

I wanted to mention that we have adopted a new puppy! His name is "buddy" and he is a 4 month old "sausage" dog...I use to have one named "pookie" for 13 years but she passed a way a few years ago, they make the sweetest dogs... so I have 3 now... the bulldog snow ball who is 10 years old now. Kylee who is about 5, and now buddy the little puppy. It takes some getting use to but so far so good! I love dogs and always will have one!
 
Good Morning, Folks.

Unexpected house guests delayed me this morning but I'm back on the boards and pleased to present the latest count figures for you viewing pleasure:
Days to the Season: 43
Days to Christmas Day: 85.

And today's numbers come with this bonus bit of information -- we are but FIVE short days away from the Home Stretch Milestone to Christmas Season 2014!
Sweeeeet!


Nice calm day yesterday. A bit cool but no rain or wind to mar things. Should be another good one today before rain moves in tomorrow evening.
We have advanced up to 72 degrees here at this hour.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everybody!
 
TRAVEL ALERT!

The Crowns are off to the coast tomorrow afternoon and a countdowner is needed for Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Anyone want to take the 3rd and 2nd days before our Home Stretch Milestone?
(The count gets exciting around this time of year, you know!)

Congrats on the new puppy! Buddy sounds like a sweetheart. Please give Snowball, Kylee, and Buddy hugs for me!!
