Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Yes, Winners was bought out by TJX Intl a long time ago, and stores in the US (TJMaxx, Homegoods, Marshalls, Sierra), Canada (Winners, Homesense, Marshalls) and a few places in Europe (TKMaxx, Homesense) and now Australia (Trade Secrets) are all part of the same company.

I used to work at TJX, love their décor.

Good evening, T!
Your night sounds perfect. Please give my love to your sweeties.

I can't believe it's 4 days until October. I sent this picture to my sister yesterday...asked her if it was just not a week or 2 ago we picked up this tiny little umbrella plant in Amish Ville, & this cute little orange Gerber daisy...

Thank you! It was a nice night!! And a good morning! Praying you & Har are having a good day!

Thank you so much, Holiday!
It's pretty crazy, even for a Monday.
But Har was doing alright when I went home at lunch <3

Hope you're having a wonderful evening!

Thank God for that!

Thanks everyone ~
My day is going well, hope yours is too!
My clothes dryer stopped working last night but my husband picked up a part this afternoon, he stopped home a little while ago to fix it. Just catching up with the laundry now.
The weather has been nice and cool here in the morning. I've been taking Maggie for short walks the past couple of days and she's been doing pretty well. She usually can't tolerate the exercise but so far, so good.
I'm going to start prepping dinner soon, we're having stuffed pork chops, mashed sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus.
Oh and I'm really looking forward to the debate tonight.
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day!

Glad that your husband was able to fix your dryer!
It's great that Maggie has been tolerating and enjoying the walks <3
Please give her a big hug for me.
Dinner sounds wonderful, enjoy your night!

I too was a frontline coordinator at one point in my long career with Winners Homesense. I've never been to the US stores though, I'll have to go in one day.

that would be one big party!!!!! :x

I don't
remember it being this sudden in years past. Felt it was more gradual. I'm sure we'll warm up again in October but not sure we'll see that real warm weather we had for a good part of September.

We have 1 day of 80º predicted in the forecast - subject to change. LOL

Woke up to 40's today. High tomorrow is 53!!!
We reached 70 yesterday, but by 7:00 last night it was already 59.

Wow!!! That seems so cold!! 68º with sunshine & wind felt so chilly today!! LOL We actually have a low of 46º predicted for tonight! YIKES!!!

Thank you! I am a fan of the umbrella plant - 1st time I have ever had them. They are festive at the lake! "palm tree's"
