Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Holiday]

Good Friday Morning, MMC! The weekend is finally here. I am going to be at an annual church conference for our state today with my husband (it's nice to both be chaplains and get to do things together!), and that isn't work-it's meeting people and spending time together learning, so I'm considering it a day off! Tomorrow morning I start 8K training-the race is mid-November, when my husband is running--wait for it--THE MARATHON. What? He's out running right now--very dedicated. I'm proud of him! But-5 miles is enough for me-six is my max. Hope you all have some wonderful plans for the weekend!! Enjoy and find time to relax!! I know I will. Perhaps some Christmas music is in order!

Good luck to you & your hubby in the 8k & marathon! Awesome! Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Sam. You, too!
We usually have a pizza & movie night on Fridays, then we may grill on Saturday, and get some things done around the house. Some friends invited us for happy hour at their house down the street, so we'll probably head there, then have a quiet rest of the night. Sunday, we plan to see Ken, and help my sister in law prepare for their big annual rummage sale.
How about you guys?

Sounds like a good weekend. Continued prayers for Ken & you all!

Good Morning!!! Guess what, I am not at work, it's a miracle. Today is the start of a 3 day weekend for me. I actually will be just doing things around the house today like, I have Home Depot coming here in about an hour to install a six foot French door down in the basement and remove the slider that's in there now. Then I have an appointment here at the house at 10, for a contractor to give me a price to look at bringing in a piece of equipment and removing part of a hillside and installing a retaining wall. And the exterminator will be here at 12 to give me a price to spray and treat around my garage, I found termites in it this past weekend. Looks like they just started munching away at some wood that was wet. So, this will take care of them.... Plan to have a work around the house weekend....

Enjoy your day off!!! Good luck w/ them termites. Eek!

Happy Friday MMC! I am happy to report that even after one dose of meds Andre has perked up. Definitely seems like he is getting back to his energetic self! Tonight my oldest daughter has her Starlight Social dance. She is getting ready at her friend's house along with 8 other girls. So I told her friend's Mom that I would come over and help her out, as I am sure at least one of the 13 y/o will have a hair crisis. .lol! Not too much else is planned for the weeked. We have a soccer game tomm night under the lights but otherwise pretty quiet! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!View attachment 13375

Awesome news on Andre! I hope your daughter & friend have a great time!!

** TRAVEL ALERT **

With the rental season at an end, I am voyaging to the coast tomorrow morning to see how the cottage fared.
My plan is to post tomorrow's count and return late Sunday, meaning that a guest poster will only be needed for Sunday morning.
However, if I find major problems that need attention, I might not drive back until Monday, meaning the guest poster would have to cover Monday morning's count as well.
(If I haven't posted by about 9:30 Monday morning, assume I'm not!)

Any takers??

Have a great trip! I hope all is well at the cabin!!

We did have plenty of chips & salsa, but it was just mediocre! Not as good as our normal place, but we wanted to sit outside & that was very nice!!!

Thank you for the thoughts, hugs & prayers!! Much appreciated! Tough morning!

"Happy" Friday my MMC Friends! I don't even know where to begin today! We had so much fun going out with the girls last night. We ate at a Mexican restaurant that is not as good as our favorite place, but it has outdoor seating. Food was ok - atmosphere, GREAT! We stayed out too late - our hubby's met up with us. Great night! This morning I woke up tired thinking "TGIF!" Then I got the dreaded text - my friend from the lake passed away this morning. She has been battling cancer (cancer sucks!) for a long time & was doing well with it until a couple weeks ago, she got results that it had spread into her bones. They put her on new meds & then she went downhill so fast & now it's over. And then to top it off, today is my brother Mike - who passed away 3 1/2 year ago - birthday! Can I just go back to bed & start over??
I never want to be a downer on this Merry site, so please forgive me!! I'm just sad today!

((((Holiday))) I know that nothing I say can take away your hurt, I am so very sorry to hear about your dear friend. I know that today is already tough with the memory of Mike's passing. Please take care of yourself today. Praying for strength and courage my friend.
