Here's another Merry Monday! I got my yard lights put up over the weekend. That's the good news. The bad news is that half the decorations are old and refuse to light. I guess I'm looking for sales, now.
Merry Monday, MerryBells!!
Good for you! =]
And that is frustrating! I went through that with my tree this year.
Good luck on finding some good deals!
Have a nice holiday week!

It's funny how that happens. You put up the lights and they don't work. Happens to us all. Good luck finding some decent sales on lights.
 
Good morning MMC! So - it looks like I have 370 messages to catch up on & work too. Whew! Not sure if I can get that all accomplished! ;)
Hope you all had a nice weekend! My nephews wedding was just amazing. We get to church & sit down & I read the back of the program which is a thank you to our family for allowing Adam to wear my Dads wedding ring.

"We would like to give a special thanks to Adams family for giving him the honor of wearing his Grandfathers wedding band. As we exchange vows we will be remembering him & will always keep him in our hearts. We hope to have the same love, faith & hard work that the ring has witnessed. Let it be a reminder of Richards strength & let us carry that with us as we begin our life together here today." ... and that's where the bawl fest began. LOL There was a lot of eye wiping going on the whole mass! It was all good. Very beautiful ceremony! The reception after was so much fun. Breakfast at my nieces was also fun after that....long day, late night! Needed to re-coop yesterday but that didn't happen either. We had Jims extended family's Thanksgiving for lunch & then it was off to my Moms for pizza - my brother/sil leave this afternoon to head back to Cape Cod. The time just went too fast!

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week! :eek:
Have a good Monday gang!

I never told you all - Gracie had her apt on Friday morning & her blood pressure was a little high. I'm not sure how they can possibly get an accurate reading - she was SO excited. But anyway - they sent her samples to a lab & now we wait for the results! The vet feels they will probably up her BP medicine pending results of her tests. :( I'm just praying those tests come back good!!! xx

Merry Monday, Holiday!
Glad that you had such a nice weekend~
What a beautiful sentiment that Adam & his wife wrote on the back of the program, how very touching <3
{{{Hugs}}}
Congrats to them on their marriage!
Hope that your brother & SIL have a safe trip back to Cape Cod.
Have a blessed day!
 
Before I try to get caught up I have some pictures to share. 1st of all from the wedding - this is my little buddy, he was the ring bearer....he is SO stinking funny!!! It's not possible to look at him w/o smiling!!

Next up ~ my Mom decided she doesn't want the little tree that she had up In her basement anymore so she gave it to me, along with all the snowflake ornaments she crocheted. This is a pre-lit tree & of course, now the lights don't work! So I added my own....


I don't know how well you can see it, but notice the "vintage" (lol) plastic angel on top the tree & also the very old elf under the tree ~ which looks a lot like the modern day "Elf on the Shelf" It just makes me happy to have it, though bittersweet we no longer have Christmas Eve at my parents! Do you have any idea how many hundreds of presents have been under that tree over the last few years??!! :D

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

The Nutcracker Ballet premiers tonight! I look forward to this every year, and tonight is even more special...it's Elizabeth's 15th birthday, and our 21st anniversary! Our anniversary has taken a back seat for the last, oh, 15 years ;), but our daughter is the gift that keeps on giving!

After the ballet, we're taking her out to eat, then to the late-night premier of The Hunger Games. She's a big fan, and we're taking her best friend with us. It's going to be a looonnnggg day. Whew!

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Happy belated Anniversary to you & Nancy...happy belated birthday to Elizabeth! Hope your weekend was wonderful!
 
Sorry that I have been away, I was sick all last week and still trying to get my energy back. Been online some but didn't get time to spend here. I just wanted to stop by to say hello to all, how much I miss you all and hope all is well! I have a lot to do this week getting ready to host Thanksgiving at my house, expecting 17 people so far and a few others might show up as well. If I get a chance to just sit still I will try to catch up with some of you!

Thanks for the emails checking on me! I should have at least posted here to let you all know what's going on! Hugs to all!!!
