Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Ryan]

Good morning friends. I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

I'm back at work after taking off last week for the funeral. It was good to have days off after the service so I could just take some time to think about things and grieve. But I'm back in the office and trying to get back in my routine.

I do have a picture if my Ol' Pappy up by my computer now, so he's at work with me and keeping me company. It's a great pic of him with my son on his shoulders.

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Milestone Day, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be an overcast, rainy, cool day here in central Indy. While I don't really want the rain, I'll take it over weather like CAH is having. Not a whole lot going on here today. Just need to do some cleaning and then my niece's are on fall break so I think my sister is bringing them in for a while. I'll also be helping my neighbor figure out how to use the Iphone his son sent him I'm sure. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you miss your dad terribly, but your wonderful, upbeat attitude is a blessing for your family.

You're a good man, Ryan, and I'm still praying for you and your family.

Quick question. I purchase something from the 'Shop' with experience points but can't figure out how to pass it on to someone else. How do you purchase or pass on gift to another member????

When you go under the shop tab, there is an option that says "You purchased/received 21 item(s). Click here for a listing." Click on it and then it will show you all of your items and the option to give them away.

Thanks! Hope you have fun, too!

Thanks, Friend!!!!

Hmmmmm coffee anyone? Fresh Market has several blends .... Yabba!

Yes!!!! I need some to help wake up!!!

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!

Off to work soon, I'll be back later this afternoon.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Have a great morning at work, HMG!!!!

Warmer yesterday than the day before, but still a tad coolish. That should change over the next few days
and we are supposed to be in for nice run weather-wise through the remainder of the week.
This morning has commenced at 58 degrees here in our little part of the MMC universe.


Have a Terrific Tuesday and the Merriest of Milestone Days, Folks!

Happy Milestone Day, Crown!!!!! Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great day!!!!

The repair guy will be back on Saturday to fix the air conditioner. The high will be 94 degrees today and right at 90 the rest of the week. Our first cool day will be on Saturday when I won't need the AC! Oh well, just gotta make the best of it! At least I have a roof over my head! cheesy

I want to get those Halloween decorations out on my porch but waiting for cooler weather to do that. Maybe I will do that early this morning before it heats up.

Yikes!!!! That is a long time to go without A/C in that kind of heat!!! Glad you have the ones in the bedrooms at least!!!!

Take care of yourself, friend!!!!

Good Tuesday (Final Milestone Day!) morning, my Christmas friends!

I had a busy afternoon yesterday, working on my business, then a city council meeting. Mrs. Hilda (Nancy's mom) cooked supper for us, though, and that's always a treat.

I was beat last night, so at 9:30 I took a shower, then a Tylenol PM, and went to bed. Much better today!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I can not do any of the PM pills. They don't really make me sleep. Just make me groggy for days.

Hope you have a great day, Brad!!!!!

Good Morning, Ryan!!!! Hope you have a good day at work. I'm sure your dad is looking down on you and smiling at that picture right along with you.

Keeping you and your family in my prayers friend.

Cute!!!


That is how Turtle is most of the time...ZONKED! He is truly a champion sleeper. Between him and Alex (since we brought out the soft Santa Claus blanket) I don't know who sleeps more.

Lol! Awe - what a sweetie! I asked Gracie last night what the deal is...she is either 100 MPH or sleeping! :smile:

Good evening,

Finally was able to get here and read the posts, late like usual.
Been listening to quite a bit of Christmas music tonight, I wanted to start fiddling with my MP3 player but we didn't even sit down to eat until 830.

Day off tomorrow, I am hoping to get to Goodwill tomorrow, and the DVD trade store, hoping for some Christmas stuff at both places.

Time for some shuteye.

Goodnight, everyone.

Have a great day off! Wish I could join you at goodwill!!! Have fun!!

Merry Morning all!

It looks set to be a very wet October which is disappointing as I would prefer cold crisp autumn days to the wet, soggy, damp I just hope we have a dry Halloween. I have been soaked both morning this week taking my son to school ...ah well.

I was really excited to find out that the city will be doing their big switch on of the Christmas lights on Nov 07!! It's usually a big deal with someone famous flipping the switch, live music from guest performers and fireworks at the end. It is the official launch of the Christmas season here!!! I love when the city is all lit up and decorated. My town will probably follow soon after with our own big switch on ....on a smaller scale though!

I just love this feeling of anticipation and excitement!

Have a cheerful day everyone, may every thing go your way ...

Sounds so exciting!!!! So much to look forward too!! :grin: Have a great day Festive!

Good morning, friends~
Happy Tuesday!
Wishing you a blessed day!

Losing your dad is tough. Mine died Sept 17. I called him every morning at 9:30 just to see how was doing and chat a little. I choke up every day missing him. Unlike my mom, dad's death was a shock. It's an odd feeling having lost both parents.

Good that you took some time to morn. We are praying for you and your family.

********** MILESTONE DAY **********




Good Morning, Everyone!

Well, believe it or not, it's here.
The FINAL pre-Season Milestone of 2014.
Wow.

Days to the Season: 38
Days to Christmas Day: 80

Today.
TODAY!
We begin the Home Stretch run to Christmas Season 2014.
Yep. It's true.
We are NINETY PERCENT of the way back "home".


Warmer yesterday than the day before, but still a tad coolish. That should change over the next few days
and we are supposed to be in for nice run weather-wise through the remainder of the week.

Happy Milestone day!! How will we get through the next month without another milestone?!

Luckily, signs of the Season should be popping up everywhere shortly. Last night, I had my first anticipation for a Christmas commercial while watching TV. It is almost time!

Thank you. I didn't know your father passed. I'm so sorry and am praying for you too.

Good Morning everyone!! Hope everyone is having a great day! Sitting here enjoying coffee out of my 2009 Starbucks Christmas tumbler, really craving some Starbucks Christmas blend though, hopefully they will have it available soon!

A beautiful autumn morning here in Western Pa, trying to get the motivation to go out and take advantage of the nice weather to do some yardwork, I am probably going to regret saying this now a couple months down the road....but I would much rather be shoveling snow than having to mow the grass one more time this year!! :lol:

Anyway hope everyone has an awesome day!! :smile:

 

[brent]

Good morning everyone!

It sure is fantastic to see that we have turned the corner and are sprinting down the homestretch. Now let us enjoy this final run towards the Christmas Season!

At Passport again today. It is quite a wet day outside, too. Ah well. We will sew how the rest of the week goes.

I hope you all have a great milestone Tuesday!

My favorite is one that Nancy's mom gave me. I bought a new one once, and I tried to "season" it in a hot oven with Crisco, but it never really worked just right. I use it for cornbread and things like that.

But drop an egg in the one that Mrs. Hilda gave me, and it'll slide right out...love that!

Exactly!!! I inherited 1 probably 10 years ago from Jims Grandma & never used it until about 3 years ago. It seasoned right up again! Then I inherited a skillet & a soup pot from Jims other Grandma - nobody wanted them!! THEN when Mom wanted to get rid of her 2 skillets - nobody in my family wanted them either!! Boy they don't know what they are missing!! Pineapple Upside Down Cake is the best in them! :grin:

I am!! There's still plenty to do, but it's getting there!!! (((Hugs))) back to sweet Har!

Holiday, never found the original post but see people quoting the picture of Gracie! What a sweetie!!!

She's something else ~ that's for sure! Our electrician friend told her last night he thinks she's "quite a character" HA!

I am a certified coffee fiend and a certifiable Christmas-nut, but I can't stand the taste of these Christmas blend coffees, of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Blech!

Still, I always use my Christmas-themed "Life Is Good" coffee mug and see visions of sugarplums dance in my head! :smile:
