Last year I dressed up the top of my spinet piano, and found a place to put Santa's Quartet, which hadn't been out for a couple years, so the front of the house near the Christmas tree was festive. I have to clear off the piano so it can be tuned Saturday morning---I'll probably just put the Christmas stuff out after that! I also have a "peppermints" afghan to put on the back of the sofa.

I have fantasies of buying yards and yards of holly garland or lighted garland and putting it up around picture frames, bookcases, etc. like they did in the olden days. But I can't really invest in that just now.

I think you have a great plan going there (decorating after the tune up!)
I hope some day you get all the garland your heart desires!! :) I have some garland around the banister & on the mantle, oh & around the posts at the front door! I'm getting so excited to start!
I bet you are excited to get the beautiful peppermint candy afghan out again!!
 
WOW ~ I got caught up just in time!!! Quitting time! Have a wonderful evening MMC! See ya at the Pines!!!

I just received EXCELLENT NEWS about my sweet girl!
Her lab work came back clean and all normal values. I am so relieved!! God is good!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Harlowe. They have meant a lot to us.

So, we will continue with the antibiotics until they are gone, and go from there.
I guess there was a small amount of bacteria that could have hinted at the beginning of an infection on her Urinalysis test.

If it isn't that, it could be a physical issue that some female dogs have when they hit middle age. In that case, her vet would prescribe a medication to help her.

Thank you again~God bless!

Hey y'all! Hope all is well! I just wanted to drop in and say all of the special posts have been amazing. I've been keeping up!

My Dad had a stroke two weeks ago. Sunday morning, he had another. We have been in the hospital until today. Don't fret! All is good! My Christmas gift came early. He is lucky to be here and we are lucky to bring him home! See y'all tomorrow and I can't wait for Thursday night!

Special Post Day 4

I stumbled upon MMC a few years back by accident. I had wondered if there were others like me, who looked forward to Christmas all year, who listened to the occasional holiday song in July, and who even went “hunting” for seasonal merchandise once Autumn rolled around. I figured there weren’t many. One day I happened to search for “Countdown to Christmas” and came across this special place, Crown’s daily updates, and all of you. I simply “lurked” for a while, checking the countdown several times a week for an update of how long I had to wait for that magical day, and browsing some of the articles Jeff and the others posted. But then something happened: I started to care for people I didn’t know…people I hadn’t even introduced myself to. I started to pray for people who needed prayers and rejoice with people who shared good news. So, I finally decided it was time to introduce myself and I’m glad I did. I’ve made some wonderful friends here who are now part of my daily life and I can’t imagine a year without you all! When my dad was fighting his life-ending battle, you all were there. When the May 2013 tornado devastated my hometown, you all were there. When I celebrated a new job, you all were there for that, too. You’ve been there through good times and bad, because that’s what family does. And it’s been noted before by others, far more eloquently, but it bears stating again: we’re a family.

The Mighty Jay Isherwood once made a comment that in recent years he’s felt that old Christmas Spirit in July more than he has in December. I have to say I agree with that. When the rest of the world has moved on to other things, MMC keeps the spirit alive, putting forth those values associated with Christmas such as love, peace, and goodwill. So, please accept my heartfelt thanks. Crown, your service to us means so much as you provide joy each day with your countdown. Thank you for what you do! Christmas Crew, MerryCarey, Brent, and so many others who give of their time and efforts to make this happen, Thank you! And of course, thank you to the one and only Made who I have relied on so many times for technical support, as well as friendship. And thank you to you all for being here and being a family. There’s not another bunch in the whole world I’d rather share Christmas, or Christmas in March, July, or September with, than you all. Merry Christmas.

Thank you!
I talked to a dental office yesterday that is VERY highly recommended by a friend of ours. They at least take the new insurance on an out-of-network basis, which is more than our current office does. And they treated me with the consideration they would give an established patient, asking me to get back in touch when we get our new insurance cards so they can estimate what our pending dental work would cost. So I'm feeling better about that. It'll still be expensive, but at least we'll have SOME coverage. And it's not far from our current dentist, so that's another plus.

I'm so happy for you it all worked out in the end!
