I'm really ready for Fall now! Let the "ber" months begin! And hopefully some evening "brrr" temperatures! Have a great day friends!

Great to see you, frostyman! I'm ready for 'ber everything as well! Can't wait! Hope all is well!

Good Morning, Friends.

And so we begin the last full week of the second third of our trip back to Christmas.

Yes, next week (one week from tomorrow in fact!) will see us to the TWO THIRDS mark to Christmas Day and the start of the FINAL third of our voyage.
(Wow!)

Our numbers, to start the new week:
Days to the Season: 88
Days to Christmas Day: 130


The humidity was up a bit yesterday and the trend will continue this week, as Mother Nature reminds us not to get too smug -- there is still plenty of Summer weather left.
Today has commenced at 72 degrees under calm and sunny skies here in the capital city.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks!
And I hope your work week is off to a great beginning.

Thanks, Crown! Hope you're having a great day!

Good morning MMC from Vermont !
having a heat wave back home with lots of extreme heat warnings out. Yesterday it was 95f there. So glad they have a good AC .
It is going to be hot here in Vermont too, 88f today. We are headed into the mountains, smugglers notch and Stowe area. My brother is going to walk up the hill under the ski lift, we are going to sit at a picnic table and watch him.
I am enjoying this holiday, lots of extra sleeping, learning more crochet stitches from my sister and sister inlaw (so much easier when someone shows you how to do it!), catching up on my reading and visiting.
Hope you all have a fantastic day !

Sounds like you're having a great time, Star! Keep enjoying yourself to the fullest!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had to have some blood drawn this morning for my physical next week. Ouch! As you know, I live in a small community, and everybody knows everybody, pretty much. I was the first person the waiting room, and I had my back to the front door. I heard someone walking in the door behind me and say, "Hey, Brad!" I turned around and had a conversation with him, then he went in the back. A few minutes later someone else walked in and said "Good morning, Brad!"

Like I said, it's a small town, but everyone knows me by the back of my head? Did I get a tattoo back there without remembering?

Seriously. I'm asking. The 90's were a blur.

LOL I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope all went well with your bloodwork and goes well with your physical next week!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Monday!
I lost my internet connection for a little while this morning but all is well now. Not too much going on here today, typical day of errands and chores. I also have to do some birthday gift shopping for my daughters boyfriend. That's about it for me. I hope everyone had a nice weekend and has a great week ahead!

Good evening, HMG! Hope you're day is going well! Thinking of you guys!

Have a MERRY night!

Thank you! He got in about midnight, but it took him a couple hours to get unwound enough to sleep. Happily, he doesn't have to work today, so he can recover.
Today is a sad one at our office. One of our long-time creatives (who has been working long, hard hours for a pitch that is going on today) lost her husband suddenly this morning---the day they and their kids were to leave on a well-earned vacation. It was a terrible shock to everyone here.

Wow - that is so incredibly sad. Thinking of them. Prayers.
