Enjoy the warmer temps!

She had a rough day on Friday, but yesterday was much better. She seemed much more like herself, enjoyed her walks, are good, and was playful. Fingers crossed that is the way it is again, today [emoji171]

Thank for asking!

Hope you have a wonderful day too, HmG!!

Keeping my fingers crossed as well and continued prayers ~

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

Running late for church, can't stay! Elizabeth's last show is this afternoon, then the family is taking her out to dinner for her birthday.

It's raining, but it hasn't rained in more than a month, so let it come!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Enjoy the show and have a wonderful time celebrating Elizabeth's birthday!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high around 60 degree's!!!! WooHoo!!!!! Of course there is a catch. Heavy rain is supposed to be moving in this afternoon and it's going to continue through tomorrow morning. I'm not quite sure what is going to be happening here today. I have a long list of stuff to do today and tomorrow but today is also my aunt's birthday. So if we can ever decide what we are going to do for it, that will move to the top of the list. If no one can agree, I guess we will just celebrate it on Thanksgiving. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to your Aunt!
I hope you have a great day Made!!!

All showered and ready to go - listening to some Christmas tunes as I prepare to depart. I don't know what I'm worried about, I might be over 50, but my heart is somewhere around 7 this time of year. I'm sure the crowd will feed off of my energy.


Hope all the ailing merry folk and their kin are improving - positive thoughts continue for all.

As I was drifting off to sleep last night the image Made shared of the snowstorm that crippled Buffalo popped into my mind and I was thankful for not having to endure all of that - it was raining overnight and most of our snow is gone, but there's enough to keep it cheery for the parade.

*( Hope the rain holds off until later this afternoon; I'm wearing white. HaHaHoHo

Have fun! :-D

Good morning!
My oldest daughter turns 21 today. Can't believe it, the years have gone by so fast. She's such a doll and I'm so blessed to have her. She went out last night with her sisters and a group of friends to celebrate. Today will be a family day, we'll be going out to dinner and then back home for birthday cake.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday to her. I hope it's well and blessed.[emoji4]

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to your Thanksgiving week in the US.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much. It's just been an awful year to be honest. This past Monday my aunt passed away. She was also my Godmother and lived up to that in every way possible every day of my life. She is the only person in both our families besides my parents who never forgot my son's birthday or our anniversary. Ever.

This past July she was under hospice care, young, but she had a rare form of cancer that doctors are not familiar with in terms of treatment, none the less, her hospice nurse advised her not to try and go out, but she managed to make it to the store just to make sure Noah received an 18th birthday card from her.

She was just everything to me. One of the only people in my life who ever made me feel like I was good enough, as is. She taught me to bake all of our traditional family Christmas cookies, cakes and decorate the house over, filling it with love and joy at Christmas. She dedicated all of her time and effort to care for the homeless and women's domestic violence centers.

I can't even wrap my head around the fact that she won't be present this Christmas. Or that I'll never again receive a Christmas card the last week of November with a $20 check for cookie money, that I never cash and ends up part of the card box that I keep her cards in. I never could bring myself to cash her checks after she went on disability due to the surgeries.

My son isn't well, nor is our business and I feel disconnected from everything at this time. So I apologize for my lack of participation - but like a sick dog , I tend to keep to myself when things are down. I just felt an explanation was warranted, because I love this board and all of you.

Hoping to find some Christmas Spirit to renew things.

Good morning, everyone! I wanted to stop in and say hi! It's been a crazy couple of days at my house - my kids have been sick with cold, fevers, and such, they're both still not feeling 100%, but they'll get there.

We've also been doing a lot of things to keep busy - a lot of things at school, things for Thanksgiving, baton, decorating for Christmas, rode the Santa train yesterday, and we have a Christmas parade today, for EA to march in today.

Needless to say, I haven't had much time to check in. Hope all is well with you! I've been thinking about all of you and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers! Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Sounds like a fun time with the Christmas train, we have one here came as close as Woodstock last year (1/2 hour from here) but i was working so missed it. Our Santa parade is today too!

I'm so sorry for your loss, friend.
And I'm very sorry to hear that you had such a rough year, as well.
Keeping you, your son, your business, and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers~
Sending you all lots of love and strength!

We are always here for you.

O'Malley doesn't know what to make of the snow. whines more than I do about it because he won't go on the balcony if there's snow on it and I think he wants to chase the snowflakes thinking there's a huge flock of small birds flying about. He's getting a carnival-sized dolphin for Christmas to replace the snake I had to throw out because he tore into it's jugular and the stuffing was coming out and when he was sick I thought he might have digested some cotton. He's my special education cat - but I love him.

Like O'Mally, Penny will just stand at the door and stare at it, once in awhile sniffing the air but after on paw touching it will go no further.
Have not found a gift for her yet, but I am sure O'Mally will love the dolphin!

HoHoHo and a pint of Egg nog!

I'm really looking forward to participating in the parade this year instead of just snapping photos. I imagine, I'll be warmer walking about than standing still. When the coordinator heard about my snowman costume, she asked me to be the one to hand out special stickers and fridge magnets to children along the route!

I have to reach back into my drama club days from High School to bring my snowman-self to life so the kids can feel extra jolly! I remember having to toss on a Santa costume one year when Santa was a no-show for my friend's kindergarten party. I had a great time.

Have an awesome day and keep a merry thought in your head!

would love to see some pictures ! Sounds like so much fun!

like reading about all your family is up to, so much amazing talent. I did not go to church this morning, my bright red nose and constant cough was better left at home.
Happy birthday Elizabeth and good luck with today's show !

Thanks for the well wishes, this cold is full force right now, still trying to drown it. Did I say how much I hate being sick, I am not a good patient at all !

She sounds like an amazing and wonderful person, no wonder you will miss her ((((HUGS)))) It is hard to function when you loose someone special, almost like life has gone into slow motion.
I am praying for you as you walk through your grief. Know we are here whenever you feel like talking. ((((HUGS)))))
