Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Morning MMC !!!
Last weekend before vacation, time has just flown by !
I have a few things to get done before leaving, most of it baking for VBS next week.
The cake is baked yesterday so want to get it decorated today.
Also have to go to my brothers place and get his roof top carrier put on my van for the trip. I think he plans to buy a lot of stuff while we are there.
Until then I am going to make some breakfast and relax.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Hope you have a wonderful day, CS!

Well, it was a tad chilly here this morning, I love it when the nights are cool and it warms up in the afternoon.

My holidays are coming to a close.

I have 2 long weekends to look forward to, but other than that, I haven't booked any time off until the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
I get 25 vacation days, plus STATS so I enjoy spreading out my vacation time to last the year with plenty of breaks.

I'm happy to report that this vacation afforded me the opportunity to be very active here at MMC with minimal activity on FB.
Not sure where the evenings will take me in the coming weeks, but I trust that I'll be swinging by this merry way more regularly as we climb that merry ladder awaiting the arrival of another Christmas.

Stay Jolly!

It's been nice to spend so much Christmassy time with you!
Hope you've enjoyed your holiday!! We all need that down time.
Hope you & O'Malley have a MERRY day!

Good Saturday morning MMC!

I've been dreading this day all week because of all the cleaning I'll be doing. Not in my home but the home of my neighbor's. I clean her home once a month while she and her husband
are at their beach house for the weekend. I also clean her elderly father's home too and even though his home is larger than hers its easier to clean. Once I'm done with cleaning I plan to make a dinner of salmon cakes, mashed potatoes and asparagus for the girls and I. I also have to make a side dish for the farewell dinner our church is holding tomorrow for two congregation families who are relocating. While I want to attend I'm sort of regretting signing up for go with a everything we have to do before our morning flight out Monday to Florida. But I'm a woman who stands by her commitments, if I've said yes then I'm gonna do my best to keep my word.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Good morning, friend!
Happy Saturday~
Good luck with cleaning today. Hope all goes well, and it flies by for you.
Jam out to some holiday tunes =]
Have a lovely dinner with your girls! It sounds delicious.
Hope you have a blessed day!

Good Morning! Looks like we are going to have beautiful weather for this entire weekend; sunny and high's in the mid 80's Although, I am very partial for the 50-70 degree range, I'll still take it. Wow, Saturday already, hmmmmm, this weekend's plans, not sure yet entirely, I just have some ideas to do some little things in the house and maybe get to some landscaping stuff done on the outside. I would actually like to have a date day with the wife today, since she has been working every weekend and this weekend, she is off. So, maybe I'll leave the planning up to her, and give her the opportunity to do things that she would like to do.....
Not that I don't do that on a regular basis (LOL!!!!)......

Good Morning, MMC!!! Sunny and 86 predicted for here today. I may go see my niece's later if my sister doesn't have any thing going on today. It's been almost 2 weeks since I've seen them. Other than that, I don't really have anything planned. I'll just see what the day brings. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!

How is everyone today? We have some errands to run but not sure what else we will do.

Good evening,

Another day down,one more before my next day off. Sunday we have my family reunion to go to, the 134th annual, so we get to see a lot of family we haven't seen since my grandmother passed away last August. I am 5 working days until vacation, this one I am taking just to use up my remaining days for this year. I can't wait, but I was just on vacation not even 3 weeks ago so it doesn't hold the same excitement as the other one I had anticipated for months for, but it is a week away from the fun-house, that's all that matters.
We went to Friendly's for sundaes after dinner, and I was paying with a card, and the waitress asked for my ID, I showed her and she said "Oh my." She said "do you remember me?"
I said no.
She said she was so and so.
I said oh my god.
I had grown up with her as a child, our families use to vacation together. She still has pictures of us as kids. I could not believe it. Such a small world.
I hope you all had a great day.

Goodnight, everyone.

How nice to run into friends you haven't seen in awhile! It is a small world!

Good morning, MMCers! And a Merry Saturday to you!

The very first signs of fall are all around us. A few leaves on some of the trees are turning light red on their way to being the color of Rudolph's nose on Christmas Eve. The fall decor is blooming in the stores like Christmas will be in less than a month (and in some cases already is!). My excitement is growing like the Christmas trees in the farm just waiting to be cut and put up in someone's home. And our countdown is shrinking like the temperatures will be in just a few months.

How do I count thee, Christmas?
-Yesterday, it was 20 weeks to Christmas Day! This means we are in the TEENS in that Countdown now.
-Our numbers stand as follows:
Days to the Season: 97
Days to Christmas Day: 139
-Our next milestone is just 6 days away...the 3/4 mark to the season!

And, most importantly, our favorite countdown counter Crown84 is coming home from vacation TODAY! It's been an honor to serve as a countdown elf while he's been away. Thanks for allowing me the privilege!

Signing off,
DYHWIH, the Substitute Christmas Countdown Elf

I am doing a terrible job of keeping up with everyone on here and didn't realize Crown was out of town. Thanks for the taking over the Countdown!

Well, it was a tad chilly here this morning, I love it when the nights are cool and it warms up in the afternoon.

I am so happy you are making your presence here again. We sure missed you!!!

I hope the cleaning goes swiftly so you can enjoy your weekend! Dinner sounds delish! What time can we come by for dinner?

Dinner at your house too??? Sounds yummy! What time should we be there?

You're welcome!!
Glad that she had such a beautiful day!
I will begin decorating in a few weeks, full force. I am slowly putting a couple things out along the way, too
I have primitive pumpkins out year round, and harvest prints too. I've ordered some decorations, and as they come in a lot of them are going up. Just because I'm too excited not to!

xx

I hope you post pictures of your decorating. I love your fall decor!!!

Merry Saturday! My oldest daughter had a sleepover last night at a friend's house last night so I have to pick her up around 12. Then we are going to a little BBQ tonight at a friend's house. No real plans tomorrow. I need to catch up on laundry.

I remember the days of having sleepovers at my friend's house. A bunch of us girls staying up all night playing games, talking, eating junk. What fun! I bet she had a good time!

The weather sounds amazing!!!

Here's mine and my hubby's planning. I ask, "what do you want to do"? His response, "I don't care, whatever you want to do"? Then I say, "Okay, let's watch paint dry". He would say, "Sounds good to me"! I am always in charge of plans but would LOVE to have his input sometime. Ha ha!

Good Morning, MMC!!! Sunny and 86 predicted for here today. I may go see my niece's later if my sister doesn't have any thing going on today. It's been almost 2 weeks since I've seen them.
