Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

Not being able to drink coffee...yikes!

No kidding - my Keurig wouldn't work this morning. It kept blinking "add water" - water reservoir was FULL! Hmmmm! Had to go to the Quick Stop for a coffee before work today!

Good Morning...we woke up to another 2 hr delay for my kids. Just work today and hopefully I can get in a workout. It is so cold out there, I think I am going to turn on some Christmas music. I was watching TV last night and I saw my first Christmas commercial for the Tree Dazzler. It was so nice to see it! Hope you all have a great day!

That looks pretty cool!! And how exciting to be seeing a Christmas commercial - in April! (although the weather feels like Christmas they probably figured they would take advantage of that. ha ha) Have a great day snowflakemom!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

All this talk about snow and cold weather from you guys, and it's supposed to be sunny and 75°F today. Not bragging. Ok, maybe a little bit, but when you guys are enjoying a nice summer, I'll be sweating through 100°F and 100% humidity LOL.

Elizabeth's garden is still looking nice, and I plan to stay on top if the grass & weeds this year. Of course, the best laid plans of mice & men, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Rub it in!!! Glad to hear Elizabeth's garden is looking nice! Good luck keeping it that way!!

It's coming this week! The sand is already in the air.

Oh no!!! Stay safe!

A wit once described rhubarb as "celery with high blood pressure." And that's exactly what it looks like!

My grandma always put rhubarb in strawberry pies. I kinda doubt it would do very good in Ga. growing. I always found it sketchy because even deer wont eat rhubarb at home..lol

Ha ha ha!!

The only thing I know about rhubarb is the quote from the Michael Keaton Batman movie, where Jack Nicholson's Joker admonishes, "Never rub another man's rhubarb!"

HA!

LOL!!
Strawberry rhubarb pie. Mmm, Mmmm! And Rhubarb Dump Cake is even better! (IMO)

 

[Holiday]

Yes, but he disobeyed and didn't wake me as soon as he came in!
Unfortunately, only six people came for the show. And about twice that many people called before the show asking if it would still be held, and he told them Yes! Oh, well, just bad luck with the weather.

Well, I'm glad he made it home safely. Too bad it wasn't a good turn out. Blame that one on mother nature!

LOL! LOL!

Rhubarb pie and crumble are quite popular here. I'll swap you some for an RC cola and mud pie




You will need a scoop of Cornish ice cream to go with it ...

Glad he got home safely. Shame about the turn out though.

100 temp and 100 humidity must really make you dream about Christmas.

If that could be used outdoors, I think I'd get one ... I have just the tree in mind.
I'm amazed that they would run the commercial in April! Usually us Christmas nuts are the only folks thinking about Christmas in April!

My mom (closet Christmas freak) says they are starting earlier and earlier every year.

That would be terrible! If my Keurig stopped working, I'd have to take the morning off to go buy a new one!

may simply need a good cleaning. Fill water tank half clear.vinegar and half water let sit for a couple of hours, then run 2 cups worth through machine and let sit for another hour. keep running through until water tank empty. Fill tank with water and run through machine until empty again and you should be good to go again. I used to work for the company and learned it there.

Thanks for the tip CS!

Hopefully at lunch I'll have time to mess with it!!
