Good Morning, Everyone.

Another weekend approaches and tomorrow is Weekend Eve again!

Let's take a peek at today's figures:
Days to the Season: 211
Days to Christmas Day: 253

Tomorrow, my Friends -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone,
The day after that -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 200-day Season Window, as our back-to-back Milestone Days approach.
(Is it just me, or does that make it seem like the year is really starting to pick up speed?)


Well, it seemed as if the rain fell almost continuously yesterday, although never hard. Another wet one is on tap for today, but we are suppsedly in for a more Friendly Friday. We shall see.
For now, things have kicked off here in the capital city at 48 degrees, with a light drizzle.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, fellow travelers!


Speaking of traveling.
The following is a

** TRAVEL ALERT **

The Crowns are off to Florida for a week to visit relatives and attend a school reunion. We are leaving early this Saturday morning and will not return until the following Saturday evening.
As such, a dependable and willing volunteer (or volunteers) will be needed for eight mornings begining this Saturday.
Any takers?
(The first to volunteer will not be turned away -- I promise!)

Dad Update: He went for his follow-up appt. yesterday. The PA said she had looked at his file & it looked like the "shock" worked to lower his heart rate, but it will take a while for the new meds to fully kick in so that he isn't exhausted all the time. Mom said his gout is better too.

Now we wait for aunt's surgery on Monday.

Good morning! I know it's early, but what can I say, my eyeballs and brain were up and awake before the rest of me was, so I figured I might as well just get up out of bed and get the coffee pot going and have an early start this morning. And besides, now that I'm up, my tummy is starting to growl as well; so, might as well raid the refrigerator while I'm up also.

Looks like you all had a hooting good time at the Pines last night, I have a very strong feeling that we won't see Made until sometime around noon today, especially with the mix of stuff that Carl was feeding him all might long....

Good Morning, Xmastidings!!!! Hope you found something good for breakfast and that the coffee tasted really good this morning!!!

LOL!!!! I'm definitely feeling it this morning!!!

Sorry to hear that, MC. I hope the pain is subsiding with the help of the Rx.

Thank you ... It's manageable, but uncomfortable. At least I know it will be taken care of next Wednesday.

Thanks for the update---hoping things will continue to improve, and hoping that your aunt's surgery will go as well as possible.

Thanks, buddy!
Praying for you guys, too.

It's actually starting to look and feel like spring around here. At least the snow is all gone, which we wouldn't have thought was even possible a few weeks ago! It'll be gray and wet tomorrow, but outside it looks as though today is trying to make up for that.

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!!! Jumping in here to say good morning before I try to get caught up on posts!

I had a productive (and expensive) night last night - I picked up 8 stackable chairs & a small table for our patio & ordered a patio set from Home Depot! Hopefully we can get that picked up tonight! Also finally made the pork chops & taters on the grill! Delish! Hubby went to the Legion with some of our friends (It was too nice outside for me to sit down there, so I stayed home...) & here our electrician friend won the drawing! $650.00! Not bad! Our neighbor had to come over & sit in a new chair - make sure they were going to work ok! HA! So far today is sunshine & beautiful (windy though) but the sky's are looking funny to the west! Could be "one of them days" as far as the weather goes!!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!!!

Who put the Mr Bubble in the pines hot tub? Who started the Prince little red corvettes koarokee contest? Who left their shoes on the bar? And who drew a picture of Jayish on the back fence? Okkkk it's getting toooo crazy over there ....

I'm sorry!!! You have to blame Carl for giving me all of those drinks!!!!

Have a coach kinda day everyone ... Yabba!!!

Have a great day, Binger!!!!

Good Morning!
Happy Thursday!
I'm just having my coffee, trying to relax for a few minutes. I have to get moving soon, I have to work today. I don't have much planned afterward, I'm a bit headachey again this morning so I hope I can take it easy later today. As of right now I'll just be working on my daily chores, hopefully nothing else will come up. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day. I'll see you all later!

I hope your head feels better soon, HMG!!!! Have a great day at work!!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's still overcast today, but it's about 15° cooler than it was this time yesterday. It's downright chilly...nice!

April 15 has finally gone by, so Nancy and all the girls in her CPA office are off today and tomorrow. I never get to have lunch with her, so I'll enjoy it today!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Evening MMC !

beautiful day here, lots of sunshine, the birds are singing the flowers starting to bloom, definitely spring !
Still waiting for my van to be road ready, a few more days.
Hope you are well, I have a bit of catching up to do here.

Enjoy the spring weather!!! YAY!!! Have a great day CS!

Good evening everyone! I've been on the run all day. I went with the girls to their physical appointments this morning. While we were there my oldest showed the doctor a small bump on her shin that she noticed a couple of weeks ago. She thought it might just be a bruise but the doctor sent her for an X-ray to be sure. We were at the radiologists for quite some time so my day got completely thrown off. Anyway it turned out to be nothing, they said it's the shape of her bone. I think that's kind of weird but I'm glad it's nothing. Never a dull moment. I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up with my errands and chores. I'm still not finished but everything will have to wait until tomorrow. The hockey game is just about to start. I'll pop back in afterward. I hope everyone is well and is having a great day so far. Keeping you all in my thoughts!

Glad things turned out fine for your daughter!! I'm sure you enjoyed the game since they won! Have a great day!!!

Well speak for yourself! I clearly rule the roost at my place. Everyone around here knows I'm boss. No question.

Please don't tell my wife I said that. [emoji16]
