Christmas Countdown - 2015

[DoYouHearWhatIHear]

Hard to believe it's already halfway through the week--very exciting. I'm ready for the weekend, even if I have to spend it with my in-laws.

Listening to the cicadas outside my window and realizing they won't be making noise for much longer and our AC units can finally come out of our windows in just a short month! Our electric bill will thank us...lots of things to look forward to, but not wishing the time away. It'll go too quickly.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, mid-week Wanderers!

Crown is taking a much needed day off. Well, actually, he is moving his niece to Carlotte. Let's hope he has a safe and enjoyable trip! I have appointed myself your Countdown Caper for today.

The 'Ber months have arrived. It means a lot to Carl. The camel's smile is even bigger than usual. I'm not sure if it's because there are FIVE 'Pines Days in September, the cooling weather trends, the debut of the Most Wonderful Thread of the Year, or, perhaps another reason all together.

In celebration of September, Carl is offering a sample of pumpkin flavoured fired twinkies with the purchase of a glass of Sweet Tea at the Shispering Pines. Carl wants to ease into the Fall flavours. so that we can thoroughly enjoy them throughout this wonderful season.

Yesterday, we were five days away from single digits to the 100-day Christmas Day marker. And now, today, we are officially two weeks away from said milestone! What better way to celebrate than a 'Pines Day?

The daily numbers:
Days to the Season: 72
Days to Christmas Day: 114
Four days away from single digits... Two weeks until we meet 100!

If the Pumpkin Spice Fired Twinkies don't get you excited, Carl hopes that you enjoy the Fall colours at the 'Pines. I, for one, can get very used to these for the next month or so!

It may be September, but the humidity remains in Canada's Capital.
We have some fog patches to go along with the 19c/66f or 26c/77 with humidex!
Temperatures today are to reach 29c/84f or 38c/100f. Quite above seasonal.

I hope you all are ready to celebrate mid-week at the 'Pines! Carl has really been working hard at making the first September celebration a good one! I'm sure he won't disappoint. I am off to work now. I look forward to seeing you all tonight!

Have a Wondrous Wednesday, friends!

Thanks, Brent!
Looking forward to those pumpkin spice fired Twinkies!!
Have a merry day!!

Good morning to everyone.
Hope you all enjoyed your first day of the 'ber season.

Today is going to be a long day for me. I've got two meetings at work on top of an already busy day. Then later tonight i have bible study, so I'll have to rush in freshen up and Lizzybeth and i will head back out so as to not be late.
If lasts week's bible study was an indication of what to expect then we won't be getting home till almost nine. I'll be eating late again this week, it's a good thing London makes dinner earlier for her and Lizzy so at least she's not hungry during service.

I pray you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Hang in there Holiday! Are you doing it on the ebay app? It was always a challenge when I tried to change it too!

Good morning SnowflakeMom! I didn't know there was an ebay app. HA! Never thought of that. But no, I'm doing it on the computer at work. Getting ready to dig into it again!

Good morning MMC! Happy SeptemBER! I can't believe it's September already! That means I'm going to get another year older in a few days. EEK! Seems like I JUST had a birthday!!
My in-laws bought a new house (new to them - it's 15 years old) so Mom & I went to see it last night. They got the keys over the weekend. It's a nice house & I think they will like it there. It's hard for my FIL to move off the farm, & I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they build a house on the farm, but we'll see how this all works out!
I walked this morning with my neighbor & my friend. We're trying to get back in the swing of walking at 5:30 am...whew, that's an early alarm! I need to learn to go to bed earlier!
Other than that, not much going on around here. Still looking forward to the holiday weekend & the start of college football!!! Woot!
Have a Super September 1st everyone!!!

I know how you feel Holiday, my alarm goes off at 4:30 so that my neighbor and i can walk at 5am. She'll be gone over the next 10 days - off to enjoy the labor day holiday at their beach house, so I'll be walking alone.
I love it tho, great way to stay in shape and get a bit of socializing in at the same time.

Wow. That's incredible. Finally something that would make me want to visit Cleveland! If I am ever near the area, I will definitely have to see this!

Hey now!!! The best part of Cleveland ~ you can catch a Browns game!!!

 

[Holiday]

Good evening,

I just did a quick run through tonight, I have tomorrow off.
I hope you all had a great day today.

Goodnight, everyone!

Have a fantastic day off!!!

Late night again for me. Just getting to sitting down and relaxing for a few minutes before heading off to the twilight zone... I do have to say how thrilled I am to be in the ber's once again. However I did look at our forecast temperatures here for the remainder of the work week and it will be highs in the 90's, but by Sunday, high of 71! Yes.....now that's more like it..

What is today, Tuesday? I guess tomorrow is hump day, day at the Pines, and another long at the office cranking out one of most complicated products that I have worked on. But, a very, very cool product to be working on.

71! Wow! That's quite a change!!
Awesome that you are working on such a cool project, I hope things slow down soon for you though!! Have a great day xmas!

 

[Holiday]

Finally, the time we all love....the Bers!!!

Hey Coach!

So even though we are still near the 90's, the start of Sept. officially starts the Christmas cd playing in my car for the rest of the season! Love it.
