Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!!! It's a chilly, rainy day in Ohio ~ supposed to rain all day! Makes me want to take a nap! It was another late night last night - working on the house, but today is carpet day!! Finally! I'm drinking my coffee, Christmas Apple candle is burning, it's almost Friday - ahhh, love it!



We caught a mouse in the office this morning. UGH! I was sitting here at the computer when I heard the snap! YUCK!!! I guess it's that time of year!



Have a great day everyone!!!

Have a great weekend, Holiday!
The candle sounds heavenly!
Hope all is going well at the house.

(((Hugs)))

Happy Thursday!



Looking forward to a long weekend. Mr. and I are taking off from work tomorrow and our offices are closed Monday. We'll be celebrating a special wedding anniversary. No particular plans---we'll just hang out together and do what we feel like---eat out, maybe go to the fair, whatever. We're just as happy together as the day we wed. It's an incredible blessing to spend your life with the one you love best in all the world.



And the fall weather today, and predicted for tomorrow---perfect. Cool and bright, with colorful foliage sprinkled all around.

Happy Thursday & Happy Anniversary to you & Mr.~ [emoji92]

A quick note: The Blossoms thread hasn't been updated in four days. I'll do my best to find some Christmas in Cornwall this weekend. Hopefully everyone else has their phone/cameras ready for any signs of the Season, too!

I picked up a few photos at the little Christmas shop we stopped at on the way back from the beach last Sunday.
Will be posting them soon.

Good morning, everyone!

Happy Thursday! I am especially happy today since I am teaching for the rest of the week. A perfect way to lead me into the long weekend!

I must say, the countdown looks astounding! As Crown said, there is less than a week remaining before we reach that hidden milestone of a month until the beginning of the Christmas Season! Hooray!

Temperatures in Ottawa today are a little chilly for this time of year. Highs are to reach the lower 10s/50s. It was fairly close to reaching the freezing mark last night. The forecast calls for an increase in the temperature to begin on Sunday and last throughout next week, but I am sure we will reach that freezing point soon enough.

Despite the Kings loss last night, it was great to see the 2013-14 Stanley Cup Champions banner raised to the rafters of Staple Center. Watching and reliving the highlights of the magical playoff run was a little emotional. I could not stop smiling. Such a wonderful feeling!

As for tonight, I don't quite know what I will be doing... Kim and I don't really have any plans, which is nice. I expect the weekend to be a little busy. We're driving to Cornwall after the gym tomorrow. Introducing Simon to Kim's mom's two cats and dog should be interesting. The dog already doesn't really get along with the cats a whole lot. We'll see how it goes! Oh, and not to mention Simon already doesn't enjoy car rides a whole lot...

OK, well, I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday. The long weekend is barely over a day and a half away! I, myself, am more than excited to celebrate (Canadian) Thanksgiving. I am sure I will be envious of the American Thanksgiving in about six weeks, but for now, I will be thankful for the delicious meal and treats put in front of me!

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

Exciting times ahead!!!! I hope Simon does well on the car ride & "everybody" can get along!! :smile: Have a safe trip & a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Right now I must say I'm a little envious of your Thanksgiving being right around the corner! :grin: ENJOY!

Since when is 29 years old considered, old age?!

Gee, thanks, C-A-H.
I feel a bit younger, now!

Excellent! Thanks, Crown. I just don't want the Blossoms thread to get too lonely! Looking forward to those photos.

At least the rest of the week! Thanks, Stacey! I am sure I will provide you with an update on Simon's introductions on either Friday evening or Saturday morning!

Good afternoon, MMC!

Gorgeous day here, but a bit windy. I had a few minutes the other day and I thought I would check in here, but when I clicked on the site, I found out I had logged out and of course, I couldn't remember my password. Figures I would do something silly like that! There is a lot going on here right now with both family and work, and there is a lot of stress, so I have been operating on automatic pilot, so to speak. So glad I finally remembered the password because I couldn't Chrome in like the last time I forgot!

No time to catch up, unfortunately. I hope this finds everyone well! Praying for all!!!

Have a MERRY day!

Hi Meceka, thinking of you and keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending lots of hugs and love to you.

Thanks, buddy. We are enjoying the drive and all the pretty fall colors! Going through a lot of resort towns, and seeing lots of cute log cabins too. You would love it!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a chilly rainy day here in central Indy with a high in the upper 50's. I have some stuff to do around the apartment this morning and then I have to head out to my sister's house. She blew me off yesterday so I should do it to her today but I'll be the nice guy. I'll have to be on the lookout on my way out too. A prisoner escaped from the local jail this morning and they have closed down part of the town while they are looking for him. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Your sister better be nice after all you done for her! Do we need to hit her with a candy cane??? In the most loving way, of course! :lol:

Be careful with that prisoner on the loose!

Maybe he IS the bear!

I think you are right! =)

Happy Thursday!

Happy Anniversary, MerryCarey! I hope you both have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Oh I feel your pain! It is SO hard to leave town and leave the furry family members behind. We just got our chihuahua, Niles, in March of this year. I have traveled twice since we got him and he refused to eat while I was away. As soon as I walk in the door he greets me and suddenly very hungry! I guess since he was a rescue from the shelter and he is so bonded to me now he might be afraid he will be abandoned again. Breaks my heart! He is in good hands when I leave but then I feel awful worrying about his anxiety.

Now that story probably didn't help you a bit! I am sorry if it stressed you out but just sharing what happens with my baby when I leave. I am sure Harlowe is doing very well! Have a wonderful time!!!

Good Afternoon ... we have been enjoying this fall weather. Finally got the outside decorated for Fall/Halloween. Still working on the inside of the house. I love fall /winter and all the holidays but for some reason I am just not really into Halloween this year. Not sure if its been because we have been so busy that we are behind on decorating and baking butttt my thought do keep turning towards Christmas!!!

We have been busy repainting some rooms that are long over due and we are havingnew carpet installed in the living room next week. Hoping by the end of the next weekend the household projects will be done so we can relax and really enjoy the season.

Oh my gosh! That drive sounds beautiful! I can picture it all right now. That is amazing!!!

I remember our drive to Maryland October 2011. Wayne was freaking out on my reaction with all the "oooh's and awww's". I have traveled a lot but it was my very first trip up north during the fall. I was like a little kid in total amazement. I told him I couldn't believe how beautiful Maryland was and other states we traveled through. Wayne admitted he didn't realize it was all that special until he moved to Texas. He saw Maryland a little different with that trip back home. You can see photos all day long of fall but it just don't do it justice until you see it for real!

Have fun!!!
