Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Edge612]

Good Morning, Folks.

We creep closer to Weekend Eve.
(Not to mention our long-awaited, much coveted and ever anticipated Christmas Season!)

The latest countdown release:
Days to Halloween: 16 (Two weeks from the day after tomorrow!)
Days to the Season: 29 (Down into the 20's!)
Days to Christmas Day: 71 (Ten weeks from tomorrow!)

Closing in.
Yep.
We are really closing in.


Clear, calm, sunny and dry yesterday. Moderate temps, too.
(We really appreciate the few days in the fall and spring when it's really nice like this.)
Today has commenced at 53 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, my Friends!

Thanks Crown! The season down in to the 20s...wow.

Brrr . Funny how weather can just change so drastically isn't it! We have a early morning frost this week too. Hope you can make it back to Walmart so you can check out christmas. I'll take a peek at your photos on the blossoms thread. Have a great thursday!



I can't believe how fast everything is coming now. This weekend I have a couple things around the house to get done but other than that I am just going to take it easy and recharge from a very busy week on Sat and work on Sun. What about you?



Sunday sounds so festive and fun! Enjoy!

3 day weekend for me so I plan on catching up on some homework (fun), errands, and taking time to relax because it's going to be a chilly almost cold weekend here. Oh yeah and I'm gonna go out to Ihop for brunch on my day off Monday.

Happy Thursday. The weather here is improving. Looking at the 10 day forecast, today is the last day with temps in the 70s. After that highs in the mid 60s, lows in the 30s with frost this weekend. Finally some fall weather.
Tomorrow our son comes home for 4 days on fall break. We have been waiting for him to come home to watch the 4th season of Longmire on Netflix. We will do some binge watching and see the whole season in a couple of nights, with no commercials. Also plan to sit by the fire pit grilling hotdogs and marshmallows in the evenings. Should be some good family time.
Have a blessed day.

That sounds like a really fun weekend and yeah despite the chill coming for us I'm kind of looking forward to it. Will definitely make us feel like we're close to the season.

Good Thursday Morning MMC. We currently have 43 degrees in the suburbs of NY. We are expecting a high temperature of 63 degrees with mostly sunny skies. More October beautiful weather.
Another Thursday is here. That means another glorious Friday can't be far behind. I'm definitely feeling good about my 85 on my Calculus exam so that's kind of given me extra motivation to get myself to work harder at it instead of feel like giving up on it. Can you believe that 6 weeks from today will be Thanksgiving? That's just hard for me to fathom. 2 weeks from this weekend is Halloween. And of course halfway in between those 2 is...the Christmas season! Crazy...there's really not that much more time to get ready for it. Anyone have any exciting plans for the weekend?
I hope everyone has a great Thursday. Talk to you all later.

Time is flying by! I need to start working on my Thanksgiving menu & grocery list. I like to start buying non-perishable items early, makes it easier on the wallet.
Enjoy the beautiful Fall weather, have a great day!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

That's good news. I hope she continues to improve and you are both having more restful nights.
Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Same to you! I love Thanksgiving Day...might be as good as Christmas Day.

Good Morning Friends! I hope all of you are having a good week! I'm glad the weekend is almost here! We're going to our annual Fall outing this Sunday with potluck dinner and hayride, I can't wait! It's been a very busy week but it's finally slowed down a bit. I tried to upload a photo but it says it's too large, I'll have to figure out how to make it smaller. Have a great day everybody!

Good morning frostyman, Happy Thursday!
Hope the rest of your week goes well and you have a fabulous weekend!

Good morning MMC!! TGIFE!!!!

Last night I took Mom to Walmart - she only wanted to stay 30 minutes (originally she said 20...) - I had a big list & stuff on nearly every end of the store!! Needless to say, I didn't get a chance to check out the Christmas. But we did stop at Ben Franklin so I snapped a few pics quick, I'll post in the Blossoms thread!
Have a Fabulous Friday Eve everyone!!!

Good morning Holiday, Happy Friday Eve!
My mother and I were just talking about Walmart yesterday. The one she goes to closed down and she misses it. I'll have to find another for her.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

[snowflake22]

I will be thinking of you lovely. It's ok to be emotional, it's a lot to handle. You can and will get through this and we are all here for you. x

Thanks so much <3

Thanks Edge. I love Thanksgiving as well, it's one of my favorite days. I host every year and I really look forward to it.

 

[snowflake22]

I know ! I really need to get organised now. I need to decorate my window with web etc. and stock up on candy. I keep thinking I have time but really it is so close.

I've already dipped into the candy Adrian has been teasing me about that, reminding me to think about the kids, ha ha. We'll have to buy more!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Good Morning, HmG~
Thank you!
Hugs & Prayers for you and Maggie as well <3

Thank you so much!

[snowflake22]

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts, I really appreciate it. Maggie did a little bit better last night. She still has another week of antibiotics so I'm hoping she'll continue to improve!



Merry Thursday Festive!
So happy to hear you guys had fun celebrating your sons birthday!
Praying you don't have another cold coming on, hope you're back to feeling 100% very soon.
Have a wonderful day Sam!

Glad that Maggie had a better night!
Praying that the antibiotics really work their magic, and she heals well friend.
(((Hugs))) to you both.

I'm sorry to hear that Snowflake. I know it's hard but try not to panic. Each case is different. Prognosis can be excellent, depending on the cause of the murmur. See a specialist if you have to, there are tests that can pinpoint exactly whats going on so that she can get the proper treatment. I know you'll get as much information as you can.
With that being said, I understand your concern and my heart goes out to you. Sending lots of love and healing thoughts. Praying hard for all of you ♥
xoxo

I will do my best, thank you HmG. I will look over the information she sends me, and continue to do my own research. I need to ask more questions after I learn more.
Thanks for the love & prayers~
