Sleep well MMC! Boy am I tired tonight! Went to the crafts store and shopped and had a GREAT time...all the fall stuff is 50% off and all of the Christmas stuff is on sale too! Awesome!

I picked up yarn to knit scarves for Christmas, a cute little Give Thanks table turkey ornament, some scarves, new knitting needles that were smaller than my current ones, a new journal and new pens, and a coloring book-yes, a coloring book! Coloring I've heard is a great de-stressor, so I thought I'd give it a try!

Hope everyone has a great night! See you tomorrow morning MMC!

Y'all, I miss Made!

He checked in on this thread for Halloween. He is a very cool unique individual and I'm sure he knows we miss him being around on a regular basis.

Y'all, I miss Made!

He misses it here, too, bud.
He's the best!

He is, indeed. It's not the same without him here. Hopefully he can return sometime.

Agreed!!

Good night MMC! Think about the fact only one more Monday to go until the Christmas season begins. Crazyyyyyyy.

 

[MerryCarey]

I bet you'd be great at it!

I second this!!

You should do it MerryCarey!!!!

Now I'm blushing!
It used to be easier to express myself well in writing, but I'm way out of practice. I've had an idea in the back of my mind for a couple years, but I have so much going on this season that I couldn't get it written in time to my satisfaction. But sometime I'll repay your kind encouragement and do it!

 

[MsRose]

So scary. I'm glad to hear that you are alright MsRose!

Thanks friend xo

I've experienced two mild ones here in New England. The first time I was at the office, and it was just a heavy rumble, as though a huge truck were idling just outside the building. Everyone was saying, "What is that?" We were surprised when the reports came in that it was an earthquake! Another time something similar happened at home, and I thought, "Was that another earthquake?" and it was!

I didn't realize you guys had earthquakes in new England?I learned something new every day!

It's very rare, but it has happened! Some people didn't even feel the ones I experienced, they were that mild.

Good Morning MMC !!!
It is going to be a lovely and warm first week of November.

We ended up with only 4 kids on halloween because it decided to start raining. But we had fun with those 4 who got lots of candy !

Our TOPS rally on Saturday was great, just over 100 people were there. This is an annual thing that is for handing out awards earned during the past year for weight lost, (one member lost 105 lbs !) etc. And just to have fun...Elvis was there to sing...well at least a good impersonation of him.

Still home but have gone from agony to just in pain with bouts of agony.

Today is also my favourites son's birthday! Hard to believe my youngest is already 28 years old. I certainly did not age in all that time...

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Happy birthday to him!!!

I was listening to it to and from Scouts tonight, was loving it.

It's so HOT here. . . I love looking at the Christmas pictures in hopes of cooling off

I can't remember where I saw it ... I once read something about when you make that explanation, you tell the child you are letting them in on a great conspiracy that keeps Santa real, and now he's on the "inside" of that secret and shares the responsibility of keeping Santa real for the younger folk. I think there was even a book about it. Can anyone fill in on what I'm half-remembering?

Was it this one?

"A delightful book with captivating illustrations, The Santa Club transitions your child from receiving gifts to experiencing the joy of giving. With sensitivity, faith, and love, The Santa Club tackles the serious question, Is Santa Claus Real? To be read with your child, this wonderful book not only answers that sometimes dreaded question but it also addresses the questions of why Santa comes at Christmas and who was the first Santa. The Santa Club is a wonderful parenting resource and a stunning childrens book, and is sure to become an annual family favorite."

I have it hidden away and ready for my oldest when he questions Santa.
