Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Bradmac]

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

Yesterday afternoon I worked in the yard, finally cleaning up all the downed limbs from the storm last Friday. Some of them were big enough to require the chainsaw, but it made short work of them. I wound up with a pickup truck load, and I was bleeding from my right arm and me left leg, but I got it done!

Later, the kids went to youth at church, so Nancy and I grilled hotdogs and watched the two previous episodes of Fear The Walking Dead. I want it to be as good as TWD, but it really has a looooong way to go.

I hope y'all have a great day!

'Tis the season---What to do if you're attacked by a wild turkey.
I've seen 'em around the neighborhood different times, but I've never met one face-to-face ... yet.

Hard to imagine seeing wild turkeys running around. I have seen pics my brother sent, but I've never seen one! Get that water hose ready!

Nothing like a relaxing night at the Pines. I'm kinda of afraid to try Carl's New blend though. It looks good but he won't tell me what's in it.

Happy Friday Eve!

I'm hoping that everyone's morning has gotten off to a great start. Day 3 of our morning routine went better than yesterday I'm happy to report. Lizzy still over slept but not nearly as much as yesterday morning so that's good. We left on time with all smiles!

I've arrived here at work where I'm sipping pumpkin spice coffee flavored with none other than pumpkin spice creamer and I'm luvin it! I don't have any pressing meetings today so I plan to make sure that all of my ducks are in a row for the start of next week's clinics and scheduling yesterday's patients for their nutrition classes. I also plan to lock down a potluck dish for our annual church picnic. So I'll be browsing Pinterest today looking for inspiration.

Wishing you all have a wonderful day and stay blessed.

Glad to here the routine is working out!
Have a great day!

What a great surprise! PBS is showing a Straight No Chaser concert with Christmas music tonight, because SNC is coming to Boston in November. We've seen them twice---they're amazing. But the ticket prices this year---oof.

Hope you enjoyed it!!

Good evening,

I have made it to my day off, today seemed to last forever.
I am feeling better today, still feeling quite rundown, but I did have more energy.

I am hoping to sleep in tomorrow.

Goodnight, everyone

Enjoy your day off. Hope you got to sleep in this morning & you're feeling refreshed! Happy Friday Eve!

Just catching up on the posts tonight before heading to bed. All my free time since Monday has been spent finishing the album for the store's 10th anniversary. Happy that it's done, that leaves more free time for MMC Good night everyone!

Nice! Hope it turned out well!!!

FTWD is a good "hold me over" show when TWD isn't on. I like it but I'm not as invested in it as I am in TWD.

Oh my goodness I hope your arm and leg is okay!!!!

LOL I should have clarified; the blood was from scratches I got from wrestling with the limbs, not the chainsaw! I just bleed easily. Thanks for the concern!

Morning all and a happy Friday eve.

Merry Thursday everyone,

It's very dark and windy out. Still very warm though in the 60s. I think it may brighten up later.

I have some things I need to get done so I'll pop by later. Have a lovely Thursday.

Hello everyone It's been about two years since I've been on this site but I always get a little nostalgic once September rolls around. I hope you are all doing very well and enjoying your last stretch of the summer!

Nice to see you snowangel! Hope all is well with you! Don't be a stranger - exciting things are ahead!

Happy Friday Eve and actually your Friday!! Enjoy the day!

Good Morning, Everyone!

And here we are again. As we are every morning. Fulfilling our obligations by attending to the all-important count.

Thus we present today's installment:
Days to the Season: 66
Days to Christmas Day: 108

But every day sees a change. A change in the numbers and a change in our proximity to the next Milestone.
As a matter of fact, the next marker, the 100-day Christmas Day Window, stands just EIGHT days off. That's ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW, after which both our our count numbers will be in double digits and we can really begin to feel that inevitable acceleration starting!


A bit warmer yesterday as the heat builds back. The weather service says we could again experience triple digit heat index figures by this afternoon.
(Of course, since we are now in September, we know that can't last too much longer.......right?)
Currently, our back door thermometer tells us it is 72 degrees outside.


You have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
It will be Weekend Eve once again tomorrow!!

Thanks Crown!! Hope you can stay inside in the AC!

Thursday already? How did that happen? I hope you all have an awesome day! I haven't said it in a bit so I will say it now, I love you guys!!!

This week is flying by....have a great day Frosty!

Happy Friday Eve!

Thanks, Sam~
Tomorrow starts my weekend, and I'm extra glad of that as I am feeling rundown. Plan to relax , sleep, read, and watch movies.

Sounds wonderful! I am staying with mom tomorrow night & not a lot of lake neighbors are coming up this weekend, so we may just hang at home. Our HS Football team has probably their biggest game of the year tomorrow night, so Jim is going to the game. It's supposed to be rainy so a relaxing weekend is sounding pretty nice! I hope you get to relax & do just exactly what you want to do!
