Good morning!
I need to get off of this computer soon, I have lots to do before I leave for work. But I want to sign on to Ebay quick. I have my eye on a vintage Christmas ornament. Time is running out and I want to bid on it before I leave the house. See you later this afternoon. Keeping you all in my thoughts. Be safe and have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, HMG! Hope you are able to win the ornament!

Hope work went well today and you're having a great day!

Good Morning, Everyone.



Drawing near.

Barely over half a week to go.



<< To what, Crown? >>



To Milestone number three, the 300-day Christmas Day marker.



<< Wow! >>



You said it.



Here are the numbers:

Days to the Season: 262

Days to Christmas Day: 304





Well, cold weather is back again and our high yesterday did not get out of the 30's all day.

Light snow is falling as I type this with more predicted for Thursday.



(I tell you, this cold, icy weather can get to you. If too much of a good thing is bad, then what is too much of a bad thing??)



We are currently at 24 degrees here in central NC and we are not predicted to get above freezing all day.





But you have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends -- regardless of you weather situation!

Hope you're staying warm, Crown and having a great day!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Another yucky day down here. Crown is above the freezing rain line, but we're below it in the rain belt. That's ok. It'll give me more opportunity to polish the engine chrome!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you're having a great day, Brad!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! I bet you can guess what I'm going to say next, Yep, it's cold!!! In fact, we got down to -6 this morning. We have warmed up a little though and currently sit at -3. If the weather people are right, we should actually reach 20 this afternoon. Since I have stayed holed up at home for the last week, I have a lot of errands to run. So I'm going to wait until we hit 0 then head out. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, Made! Hope you were able to get warm - that's cold! Hope you were able to get your errands done too!

Hope you're having a great day!

Good morning,



Heading to work soon, long day of getting ready for and then taking inventory.

I am watching a very interesting documentary called "Of Miracle and Men." It is from the view of the Soviet hockey team that lost to the USA in the 1980 Olympics. I won't be able to finish it before I leave but wow what a team they had, I see why it was called Miracle On Ice now.





I hope you all have a great day, I'll be back tonight.

Hope work is going well and you're having a great day!

Good morning MMC! We made it back! cheesy I have missed you all!! I'm probably not even going to try to catch up on everything I missed - I can only imagine how many pages of posts that is! :lol: But I do hope all is well with all of you!! xx



We had a great vacation, Gracie had a great vacation & of course ~ it's always good to be home. It didn't have to be THIS cold when we got home, but whatdayado??



My Dad is back in the hospital. He has MRSA! He fell once while we were gone & by Sunday he was in so much pain they took him by squad b/c we couldn't transport him comfortably. From there they sent him to ICU at a bigger hospital, but Monday morning they transferred him to a regular, non ICU room. He was in quite a bit of pain yesterday. I was up there with Mom most of the day yesterday, until my brother came. Then my other sis took his spot staying until after 9pm last night. And yet another sis was up there by 6am this morning & she said he was looking a lot better, he had a good nights sleep, he didn't have pain & hadn't had morphine since 8pm last night. So hopefully he is on the right track now. Still waiting to see the surgeon. He should be in today! My SIL is taking Mom up this afternoon & my sis & I are heading up after work. They are looking to transfer him to rehab when he leaves the hospital so hopefully they can get him up & walking!!



On a lighter note - here are some pics -



Gracies Vacation:





View from our balcony:





View when we got home:





I have to tell ya - Gracie was a hero while we were gone... at 2:30am on Wed she was barking & barking -for 45 minutes - wouldn’t stop until Mark got out of bed. Then he heard another dog barking & he thought “Where is that coming from” So he turned on the outside lights & opened his blinds, only to see 2 Coyotes had a lost dog trapped up by their house. The Coyotes were 4 ft. from the dog. When he turned on the lights it scared them away! So he went out & got the dog & brought it in & fed it & gave it some water. The owner was several miles away - he said the Coyotes had been running her for awhile - she was tired & scared. Poor thing!! It ended up being a veterinarians dog. Good girl Gracie! The dog she "saved" is the black & white dog in the collage of pictures.



Have a great day MMC!

Glad to hear you guys had a great vacation, as well as Gracie! Way to go, Gracie!

Sorry to hear your dad is back in the hospital - hope he is getting squared away and getting pain relief!

Welcome back!

Hello everyone. Well, area schools are closed because we got a whole inch of snow!!!! maybe more but it melts quick. Us Oklahomans shut down at a hint of ice. we just aren't used to it as our winters are pretty short. I found this chart that shows our seasons around these parts pretty accurately:




Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon friends, I just got caught up from reading the posts.

I'm about getting ready to grab some breakfast and get ready to leave for work in about an hour. I have to be on-site at 4pm. Hopefully, I will get home tonight before 3 am, but I'm not sure exactly what the schedule is going to be like tonight. One good thing, at least we are working indoors where it is warm...

I hope everyone has a good day and evening. I'll do a drive by in the early morning hours, before I go to bed, just to check in and see how all my Christmas buddies are doing....

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go.....

Hope work goes well for you! Stay warm and drive safely!

Good afternoon, friends! Not much going on here! Just sitting here with the kids, watching TV.

The kids had a delay this morning. The low was only calling for 0, but it was -9 this am, the lowest it's been this winter. Very frigid! It's 23 right now, so it feels much warmer!

Ella had a groomer today and just got back - she looks beautiful, but is tired - she hates that place! Poor thing!

Hope you're all enjoying your day and staying warm!
