Christmas Countdown - 2015

How frustrating & scary, yet at the same time a relief they didn't find something terrible! I hope he does well with a CNA there & taking meds regularly!!! Continued prayers!

It is, all of the above! Thank you, Holiday!

Good morning!
Happy Thursday!
Woke up to thunderstorms early this morning, they're supposed to continue on and off for the rest of the day. No big plans here, I have to run to Rite Aid for a couple of things. I also have to stop at the supermarket, I didn't realize I was out of chili powder and I'm making tacos for dinner. Other than that I'll be working on laundry and doing some decorating. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hope the Tstorms weren't severe!! xx Have fun decorating today!!!!

Good Morning, Friends from all parts of the MMC Nation!

Wake up, rub your eyes.......and stare in amazement at the latest figures and what they tell us:
Days to the Season: 64
Days to Christmas Day: 106

And the primary lesson to be learned today is that the 100-day Christmas Day Milestone is now LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY!
That's correct -- a mere 6 days separate us from a twin double-digit count and the fast track back to our much-beloved Christmas Season.


Still a bit too warm and humid, with more moisture added by a brief late evening rain yesterday.
Hopefully, it will be clear for today, as well as for our weekend trip.
We have started the day out here at 75 degrees.


Oh, did I mention a trip?
Well, we are going to see my niece in Charlotte Saturday-Sunday to see how she has settled into her condo.
I will be able to post for Saturday morning, but will not be here Sunday.
As such, a guest-poster volunteer, chosen from the able ranks of our thread followers, will be much needed and appreciated!


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks!

I bet she will be happy to see you!! Have an awesome trip!

Good Thursday morning or shall i say Friday Eve?!!!

I have been super busy this week so i haven't had chance to get on here to catch up with all my Christmas friends. I've missed you all and i hope everyone is doing well.

I'm so glad Monday was a holiday because that was and still will be the only break i get all week. Tuesday was back to school night for my youngest, last night was bible study and prayer night at church, tonight is ladies missionary/fellowship night, tomorrow I'm taking the girls to the ballpark to see the O's game (they are so excited), Saturday we're going to Washington DC for Celebrate America which is a musical program the branches of our military puts on and Sunday is church with the annual church picnic that afternoon. Phew...I'm exhausted just typing it all.

Everyone have a great day!!!

Sounds like a busy week! Have fun!

Good morning everyone!

Seasonal marker: saw pumpkins in the store for the first time yesterday!

Happy to say today is my day off! I'm going to try and find time to relax, but I also have a lot of cleaning to catch up on, so that will be happening as well. I work a half day tomorrow, and then we're off the entire weekend...SO WONDERFUL. I can't believe how great this is after a solid month of go-go-go and last weekend being a little touch-and-go with the in-laws........

Hope everyone has a marvelous day!

ENJOY the weekend! NICE!
I saw our neighbor had pumpkins lined on both sides of every step up to their porch when I walked last night. It's coming...

Good morning friends! I am looking forward to more Fall like temperatures that are supposed to be here for the weekend. September is moving right along. Have a great day everybody!

We have a high of 64 & a low of 45 on Saturday - so they say! Hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone!

After a very busy year so far, I'm back in the Christmas Spirit.

We moved in our brand new flat at the end of July in a new "village" which belongs to the conurbation of the City Lucerne/Zug. Now we are slowly getting used to the new place. While it is very close to two bigger cities, it is still very green and "out in the Country".

Anyway it is great to be in a place that is so much bigger than the old flat and everything is new and shiny. My parents were able to buy the flat (with the help of a early inheritance) and If god is mercyful they never have to move out of it again. There are Elevators in the building and everything is suitable for possible disability.

Don't know how the climate in your Country was so far this year, but we here had one of the hottest summer ever. It didn't quite top the summer of 2003, but it really was close. The average temp was around 96.8° for weeks. Some part of Switzerland had no rain for two month straight.



I don't know what candy corn is, but I really don't like fruit cake. At least if fruit cake is made of tried fruits like raisin.



What is an almanac? In Switzerland there is a very famous group of old men living in a certain part of our Country that are called "Wetterfrösche", they predict the weather according to how the animals behave or how tree and plants look like. My Translation tool says I should translate this word as following: "tree frog as in "means of predicting the weather". Not sure if this is understandable.



Oh my, this sounds frustrating. If you don't mind my asking, with what kind of symptomes was your FIL admitted to the hospital the first time? Does he live alone / far way from relatives? I keep your FIL and your family in my mind.

Congrats on the new flat. I hope you all love it!! Nice to see you!!! Stay cool!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had another lazy afternoon yesterday. I have to stop doing that! I might get used to it!

The news showed a clip of a weather report on the Island of Wales, specifically in a town called...are you ready for this?...Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

That. Is. Amazing. Wiki says it was named that as a publicity stunt back in the 1800's. Oh my!

I hope y'all have a great day!

I'm glad I don't l live there! I hope there's an abbreviation for that if they have to write their address...whew! Have a great day Brad!

Afternoon everyone,

THANK YOU so much for the support today , you have no idea how much it meant and helped! Isaac did great. I stayed with him a few minutes until his teacher distracted him and then I slipped out. Felt bad and unnatural not to say good bye but they thought it best to just slip out instead of interrupting him. I managed not to cry even though I did tear up a little. We both did a lot better than I expected!

Went for a walk to the shops to kill some time. Some of the Halloween stuff is out and I also noticed leaves turning and a few falling.

Picking both boys up shortly

Thanks again, you all are the best!

So glad it went well!! Good job Mom! Hope you enjoyed the shops! Have a good rest of your day!
