Christmas Countdown - 2015

[sugar142286]

Good morning, friends! How are you doing? I know I've been MIA for a few days, but I've been doing some overtime, and today is the day, we'll be leaving for the beach tonight around 11:30 pm. I can't wait!

I still have some packing to do today and gotta run and grab some snacks, but as for any groceries we want to get, we'll get those when we get down there.

Hope you're all well and having a great week so far! Happy Pines Day to you all!

Good Morning everyone!!!

Well little league season came to end last week. That only leaves the hubby playing softball for a few more weeks. My kids are done school tomorrow and my daughter's 8th grade graduation dance is tonight ... sniff ... cant believe my little girl is going into high school. Time sure does go by fast.

The other night I scored 2 indoor animated christmas reindeer on an facebook yard sale site. They are pretty big too and I cant wait to use them this year.

Have a great day!!!

Well, the moment is upon us. What started off 9 months ago concludes tomorrow morning.

Our little girl will come.

A lot of nervous energy...nerves are pretty much shot. I'm sure you all remember the worries...I'm having all of those. We have to be at the hospital in 5 hours and 30 minutes, but I don't think I will be sleeping.

I'm ready, but scared all at the same time. But it is the best kinda scared I can imagine.

I will be back soon. Hopefully, I will get to check in at some point.

If you don't mind, prayers and good vibes are appreciated.

Exciting times, Coach, cherish them! I'll be praying for your family!

Thanks everyone.
We talked to the doctor for quite some time. He explained how he, and the radiologist, came to the conclusion that Molly had a tumor that needed to be removed. What he showed us and the way he described it made sense. However, I'm still not comfortable with the fact that they never discussed the mass could have been something other than a tumor.
One thing is for sure though, Molly was definitely sick. There was a lot of lung damage. I don't know. Everything happened so fast. She probably would have eventually gone in to distress and that would have been a very bad thing if it happened at home. I keep telling myself that maybe it was a blessing that she was under anesthesia and went peacefully.
It's so hard to say goodbye.
Thanks again for the prayers. Can't tell you how much I appreciate them.

Thinking about it as Molly went peacefully rather than going into distress & suffering is a good way to think about it. Still stinks, but hopefully you found a little peace after meeting with the doctor! Continued prayers!

I will be praying Holiday. It's incredibly heartbreaking, I can't even imagine (((hugs)))

Terribly heartbreaking. Thank you HMG!

Holiday, praying for your mom, your friends and Rosie. I hope you are having a MERRY day!

Made, keeping your mom in my prayers and that the doctor visits/tests will finally provide answers and the right treatment. I hope it isn't as muggy for you today, too.

Ryan, have a MERRY vacation!

HmG, ((((HUGS))))


Good afternoon, MMC!

Busy day again, but I am taking a bit of a break before I start on my next project. BTW, if I read the guide right, there is a Christmas episode of Gilligan's Island on Me TV at 6 pm Eastern this evening. I intend to watch it!

Farm news: with all the rain of late, the tomatoes have grown over 8 inches and are loaded with blossoms. The arugula, spinach and collard greens are all growing like weeds. The pepper plants are starting to get some good growth, too, as are the potatoes and zucchini.

When I checked the kittens to see how they did after all the rain last night, I found another one.

The blue jay eggs hatched some time yesterday afternoon ~ there are three baby jays as well as the mother in the nest now. In about three weeks, the babies should be ready to leave.

There is also a nest on the downspout which is just to the right of the bathroom window. This nest has a family, too, wrens, I believe.

Have a MERRY and safe night!

Thanks for all the prayers Meceka!!! Sounds like things "down on the farm" are just awesome! cheesy How exciting! After all this rain it looks like the San Marzano tomato plant I ordered is going to snap out of it's dead looking state! :smile: Have a great day!

I am listening to Jethro Tull's Christmas music as we speak, it is different, but enjoyable.

Jethro Tull's Christmas? Hmmm???!!! :lol:

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

What an evening I had yesterday! I took Jacob to his guitar lesson, and went to Wal-Mart to pickup a few things. That's where I went wrong.

Elizabeth's phone is one of the Straight-Talk deals where you buy a monthly card at Wal-Mart. Anyway, they scanned this card 4 times at 3 different registers before they realized that their internet connection to Straight-Talk was down, so it wouldn't "authorize" the card. In the meantime, Wal-Mart had charged my debit card 4 times!! They reimbursed me for three of them, and they thought the 4th was automatically reimbursed. But when I got home to check my account, it wasn't returned to me. So, I have to go back to Wally World again today. Hopefully, they won't give me any trouble. Grrrr.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good luck with your chores & shopping today!

I need to finish up on my Father's Day shopping, too.
Thanks for the reminder =]

Thinking of you [emoji258]

Thank you so much! :-D

Good Morning, Fellow Voyagers.

Sailing on, we now find that we are only 9 days off from the 50 percent marker to Christmas Day 2015.
SINGLE DIGITS!

Days to the Season: 149
Days to Christmas Day: 191


Well, we did it yesterday.
Hit 100 degrees. (100.8 to be exact.)
The weather service says we should reach 100 again tomorrow with today being a cool 97, as our bone dry weather continues.
We stand just half a degree short of 80 here at this hour in the capital city.


But now the good news, straight from the camel's mouth at the Shispering Pines.
In light of the weather, Carl is holding a pool-side party at our resort of choice this evening. Along with the usual entertainment, fired twinkies and sweet southern iced tea, we are promised a dunking contest with his truly volunteering to be one of the dunkees.
(There is a rumor floating about that Carl has rigged the platform not to fall when he's on it, but it's just a rumor. Carl wouldn't do that..........would he?)
Regardless, it should be another fine evening at the S.P. Hope to see you there!


In the meantime, you have a Wonderful Wednesday, OK?

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning, Brad! Happy Pines day!
That is frustrating about Walmart and your debit card, hope it gets worked out today! Good luck!

Hope you have a blessed day [emoji4]

Thanks Holiday.
I definitely feel better after speaking with the doctor. I obviously still wish it didn't go down the way it did but I understand now how they came to their conclusion. I was too distraught last week to even comprehend it. The doctor answered all of our questions, did not rush us and was very compassionate.

Sorry about that Brad, hope they take care of it for you without any problems.
Hope you have a great day as well!
