Good morning MMC
Hope that everybody is getting back into the groove after our holiday and yet we still have New Year's eve to celebrate!

I hope that everybody is staying safe with all the storms reaching across the US right now.

This year has been an epic year of many challenges, surgeries, hospital stays,.
I feel blessed that I stumbled across MMC in the middle of July, while I was obsessing with Christmas cards and decorations.lol

I know you were also busy out there but can somebody send some good energy my way tomorrow?
While it's my last surgery of 2015.
I have found out that I have other major surgeries coming.

Thank you friends wishing you all a happy day where ever you may be !!

Don't forget to hug your loved ones and Fur babies too !! Lol

prayers headed your way ! ((((HUGS))))) hoping 2016 is better for you.

we decided to quick take down our outdoor lights today. with storms headed this way no guarantee that the snow will go away before we move to thought it best to do it now while there is no snow.
Looks very bare out there now. But the indoor ones are up for a time yet !!!

Stay safe in the storms everyone.

We have had the heaviest rainfall in history and flooding in biblical proportions in some areas. Many have had to evacuate over Christmas. So sad.

Keep safe, praying for you guys and all communities affected.

off to work I go, leaving early so that I can pop into the $ store first.
Have a great day everyone !

Sadness envelops me with the news of Snowberry's passing. There was this hard core group of us at merrychristmas.com - Jayish, Gracie, Ralphie, Cedar, Radio jon, Snowberry, and me. That truly is where it all began- for me, it was work related research that lead me to that site. Snowberry always ended her posts with such inspiration. Though, I repeat back to my annual refrain, In a world surely gone mad. we have each other. Here's to a great 2016. I will be here more often. Resilient..

and the weather here has been insane... 76 yesterday.... 52 today.... 72 tomorrow.....

I have been thinking about them too since hearing about the tornado, praying all is well.
I love the holidays but also like getting back to routine.
Hoping to get back to crocheting again now that arm is getting better. Amazing how addictive it is !

A couple folks have responded to say that CAH and SIT are fine---their area wasn't hit by the tornadoes.

Crocheting IS addictive! Mr. probably wonders why I can't sit down to watch TV without a hook in my hand and a WIP in my lap.

Good afternoon .. came back from a Walmart a little while ago and picked up Christmas cards for next season and new ornaments for the kids Christmas Trees. Over the weekend we bought them larger trees for their bedrooms. Our daughter wanted a 4 ft white tree with white lights and we got our son a 3 ft tree tree with color lights. Got to love 50% off sales

.. kids have already mentioned they want to string more lights in their rooms next year too. Picked up new light-up garland for inside too. Heading to the grocery store in a few ... Got to figure out what to do for dinner tonight

have a great day!

Oh, no. I had no idea. Bless her heart, I'm praying for her family and friends...including you, Bing.

I am truly sorry to hear of Snowberry's passing. I didn't have the honour of knowing her but she sounds like an inspiring person. Prayers for all who knew her and for her family.
