Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Morning all. Monday is a bit different for me this week. My Son Jonah was born late Sunday night. After a bit of a panic and about 20 doctors later he arrived into this world and he's perfect

Congratulations to you & your wife, 'Tis!!
So happy for you guys! Much love and many blessings to you and your family! (((Hugs))) Jonah!

Well, I got back this afternoon. There wasn't too much to do at the cottage other than cutting brush.
We have a good rental clientele who come back year after year and take good care of the place.

Thanks, Brent, for once again taking the reins and guiding us forward in the count!

And good news for all (and especially Brent, our biggest Blossoms supporter).
Sure enough, the Neuse Sport Shop (about half way from Raleigh to the beach) did indeed have their Christmas merchandise out and I have now secured three nice photos with which to open the Blossoms thread!
The only issue now is when to open it. These things must be done delicately or you'll hurt the spell.....er.....spirit.

Glad you had a safe and easy trip, Crown.

And, a Blossoms thread to debut soon!? Really?!? Traditionally, it does come within the next four days. It is so soon! Don't worry, I have a few photos ready in the cannon for whenever you decide to make its debut! No rush. This magical time of year is ready to begin shortly!

I am filled with anticipation!

Good morning, Brent!

We needed that win!

((((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.

Thanks so much Festive!! I really appreciate the prayers!!
I hope you all are feeling better by now!!!

Good Morning, Folks!

Onward and downward.
Marching forward. A goal in sight.
It gets closer....closer....closer.
Maybe not close enough to make it out yet, but we have the numbers to warn us of its proximity.

Days to the Season: 53
Days to Christmas Day: 95

Now down to barely over HALF A WEEK away from our next Milestone, the three-quarter Christmas Day marker.
And look at that Season number. Almost half way from 100 to ZERO.
(Wow!!)


Near perfect weather at the coast Saturday and Sunday and I got finished with what I needed to do. We will likely go over once more before winterizing the place.
Today has dawned here in the capital city at 69 degrees with the promise of clear skies and moderate temps.


Have a Marvelously Merry Monday, Everyone!
And I trust and hope that you week is off to a great start!

So sorry it's such a lousy day. But DON'T feel like you can't mention it here. No one in the human race can be Little Mary Sunshine all, the time. Life doesn't work like that. We want to know so we can help, or at least feel with you. Spider Robinson said, "Shared joy is increased; shared pain is lessened."

Awe - thank you Merry! It's true!

A hectic week. And we're working all weekend.

I hope your weekend went well despite working....hope you were able to relax some!! Have a great Monday!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

My Sunday afternoon was filled with working on a project that my little brother started. He got a good deal on a used tractor implement that just needed a little work. We wound up at his shop for hours, covered in grease. And it still doesn't work. LOL

Maybe today will go better. I hope y'all have a great day!

You didn't miss anything and thanks, Brent.

There is a place I always stop at about half way between here and the beach. It used to have a year-round Christmas shop but in recent years, only has it during the season.
I am hopeful they might have something out by now.
If so, it could provide the launch photos I need for the Blossoms thread!

I hope they had some Christmassy things out!!! xx Hope you had a GREAT trip!

 

[Holiday]

I am so sorry for your loss, you never have to apologize to us here for being sad. We are a Christmas family and we stand by each other when times are tough. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Awe -thanks so much xmas!

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams!
