Christmas Countdown - 2015

[made582]

Good evening,

All warnings and watches are done for the night. We had quite a doozy of a t-storm come rocking through here around 730pm. It turned the sky a strange color of orange, and the lightning was bright and often, but at least there was no tornado activity.

I was able to play some catch with JP before all the weather went wild, he is so excited for tomorrow's game.

For the first time in years, I brought out my guitar that my wife gave me for Christmas back when we were first engaged. I was never able to go out and get lessons because of everything that was going on, (wedding planning, rent and bills, and so on) I have decided to give it another shot in this day and age of apps and Youtube I should be able to learn something. I was right, I learned more today than all of the previous 15 years combined. I am a little proud of it, and my wife was so happy I was giving it a go.

I hope you all had a good day, talk to you all tomorrow.

Goodnight, everyone.

Glad you guys stayed safe!!! Congrats on the guitar!! I keep saying that one day I'm going to buy one and teach myself how to play.

Good luck to JP!!

Looks like the storms have passed us by. We had a tornado watch for a few hours and a couple of brief downpours, but not even a rumble of thunder, thank goodness. Xmas, I think you guys are out of the woods too for tonight.

Glad it wasn't to bad for you guys, MerryCarey!!

Hey, friends! Hope thing are going good. Been a few days since i checked in, but I've been playing Daddy with two. Whew! Busy busy!

Things are going great. At work, we are getting ready for the school year to start and it is going to be here before we know it. Although there is just still several weeks, there is a lot to do. Things are rough at work...there is a few issues I could use some prayers on if you don't mind.

Doc and I was talking earlier about Christmas shows coming on next week. I'm ready to watch some. We are going to look at the schedule later, so there will be a little Christmas at our house tonight! Yippee!


Computer friends- I have an iPhone 6 plus. Last year, I couldn't upload to the Blossoms thread and it was a real bummer. Is there a trick that I'm not doing?

Praying for you, Friend!!

Have fun with those 2 little girls!!

Good evening, MMC!

Praying everyone stays safe!

I was up until after 5 a.m. before I heard from my brother ~ he had to work several hours over and that was why the delay. Only heavy rain out where he works and by where the relatives live south of here. Thank God! The tornado that went through near the store was an F2. It traveled over 11 miles and went down both roads that I take to the store.

Chores are waiting as is some work for the store so I will bid all of you a MERRY night!

Glad you guys are safe, Meceka!! Praying for all of those that git hit by the tornado.

Enjoy these times as daddy, coach!

Prayers for your problems.

As to the question, I can't even post here using Tapatalk. I can read, but not post. I must be doing something wrong.

Happy Pines day all. Sorry I've been gone a while. Our son is home from college for the summer so countdowns just remind me of how soon he will be leaving again.

Nothing new here. Just hot weather. We are looking forward to vacation. Our son is a history nerd and is majoring in history. Lord willing, we will be in Philadelphia for July the 4th then driving up to Boston for 5 days to visit all the revolutionary war sites. In a prior career, I've worked a lot in those cities but never visited as a tourist.

Have a blessed day.

We need a picture of the guitar!

I love Youtube videos for help figuring out songs that have stumped me. Enjoy!

Good to see you again! I'm heading to your area next week, trying to escape the humidity of the coast. Y'all have a safe trip!

You picked a good week. Forecast is for cooler, less humid weather. Hope they are right. We drove over to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge last Saturday. Since it was Fathers Day weekend, they let me visit "The Incredible Christmas Place" without complaining. Guess you will be visiting it next week.

Good afternoon!
First day of the Summer vacation is here
So good to not have to wake up to the alarm at 6:30 AM

Wish the weather would have been better though

Today i's 6 months to Christmas Eve ♥
I will definitely watch a Christmas movie tonight!

Have a geat day everybody!!!

Good morning Solice, Happy Wednesday!

Good Morning, Folks.

Wow.
Already to mid-week.
Already to another open house at our resort of choice, the Shispering Pines.

But, as always, there are the figures:
Days to the Season: 142
Days to Christmas Day: 184

And those same figures reveal to us that as of THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, we will be at the half-way point to Christmas Day 2015, incredible though that may be to believe.


Alright Mother Nature. Enough is enough.
It seems like we have already had enough heat and humidity for a full Summer.
How about backing off for a bit?
(Or is it too risky to chide Mother Nature?)
Right now, we record 77 degrees here in our little part of MMC.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Guys.
And Quite a Quintessential Quest to the 'Pines this evening for lots of fine food and entertainment, Carl style!

Thank you Crown!
I hope you have a great day!!!

Have a great day HMG!

Thanks SnowflakeMom, you too!

Good morning! We had a terrible storm and lost power for about 5 hours and we had a tree fall across our driveway so my hubby is going to cut it up this morning. Hope you all have a great day. Can you believe 6 months from today....will be Christmas Eve! I think I will be listening to some Christmas music today!

I hope everyone stayed safe in the storm, so scary!

They did come and spray last night, fingers crossed they are in fact coming in through the patio doors and will be deterred!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Snowflake!
