Christmas Countdown - 2016

[HomemakinGirl]

Rained like crazy here all night. It is so disgusting looking outside..lol. But we made it to Weds.

Happy Wednesday NcGunny!
Hope you have a great day!

Good Morning, Everybody.

Well, we've reached one of our single digit points again.
<< What, Crown? >>
I'll explain in a moment.

First we must examine this:
Days to the Season: 284
Days to Christmas Day: 326

Now, as to the single digits comment, let it be known to one and all that as of this day we are down to SINGLE DIGITS to Milestone number two on our Countdown chart, the ONE QUARTER Season marker.
Holy Toledo!


Cooler yesterday but dry. We will get the opposite today - warm but rainy.
In fact, thunderstorms are a possibility as the system that was to our southwest moves on toward us.
Right now, it is 55 degrees here with a heavy cloud cover.


OK. It's mid-week and you all know what that means.
Yes Folks, Carl is ready.

Now, he made a comment earlier that has me confused and a little worried. He said the specialty in the dining room this evening will be ground hog. Or did he say groundhog??
Barbeque pork, or.......
(I don't want to think about it, especially since yesterday was Groundhog Day.)
Regardless, I'll show up this evening as usual.....but I just might skip dinner.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

Happy Pines Day Crown!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Good Morning/Afternoon christmas buddies...Hope everyone is all well today...Its been a morning of sleet and snow showers...Just a few more hours away and my working day is done..Gonna take the girls to feed the ducks then bake pancakes later in the afternoon...Enjoy your day ahead christmas friends

Afternoon, enjoy your time with the girls.

Good morning!
Happy Pines Day!
We're expecting rain this afternoon with temperatures in the 50's. I'm sure any snow that we have left out there will be gone after today. Not too much going on here, typical day of errands and chores. I'll probably run my errands this morning before the rain gets here. I need to pick up some fresh Italian bread while I'm out. I'm making gnocchi with a bolognese sauce for dinner and mozzarella garlic bread. That's about it for me.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Dinner sounds delicious as always. I love Gnocchi! How did your cabbage casserole turn out? I googled recipes for it and plan to make it maybe next week! Goodluck with your errands and chores!

Hope the rain eases up soon.

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! It's a mild and rainy day here. I'll take it over the cold and snow though. I heard we may get some snow next week so we will see. For now I'm at work and just thinking about getting some pizza for lunch. Usually I buy lunch once a week at work. I look forward to it. Starting to get excited for my little Superbowl party on Sunday. I'm thinking the Panthers are going to take it but I'd like to see a competitive game. Ahh well we're almost halfway through the week. Not so bad!
Have a great Wednesday and see you all at the pines later!

It is an MMC tradition resulting from a made up place in our heads. I am trying to find the thread which explains the history behind it but can't find it. Hopefully Merry or one of the guys here can pull the link for you.

Two + hours into the update and it failed ~ frustrating to say the least. On the positive side of things one year's report is done.

My merry break is over.

Be safe and merry!!!

They are feeling much better. My youngest slept through without coughing and his nasal congestion is improving.
Thank you.

I had the special post saved in my "saved posts," but I can't find it in the new platform ... I'll keep looking if nobody else locates it in the meantime. I remember seeing the link in someone's sig ...
