Christmas Countdown - 2016

[SnowflakeMom]

Merry Pines my Christmas Friends! Just my usual work today and my oldest daughter is going to talk/discussion tonight on the use of heroin among teenagers. Our Youth Center in town is sponsoring it and she gets extra credit for it. Apparently it is becoming a more chosen drug in high schools/colleges. Very scary! We are supposed to get heavy rain this afternoon and tonight. I am trying a lasagna soup in the crockpot today. I have never made it before so hopefully it comes out ok..lol
Hope you all have a good day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines Day!!! WOW did it rain last night. I'm not sure I have ever heard it rain like that before. Creeks are nearly out of their banks. I'm surprised there aren't more puddles around. Now we have a warm & sunshiny morning. Temps are supposed to start dropping around noon!!

Have a wonderful day MMC! See you at the pines tonight!

We're supposed to get that type of rain later today and this evening. It's gloomy here right now...imagine if that was snow last night?

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 fancy & delicious!!! 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!

LOL! Yay! For single digits!! Have a great day! See you tonight!

It just so happens I took her picture last night. Last year my sister won a fleece blanket at my nieces bridal shower. She asked me to crochet a border around it. This was in March of last year, & it is a Valentines blanket. I just realized Valentines is 11 days away & I still haven't put that border on for her!! I decided to buy another blanket & crochet 2 of them together. I picked up the 2nd blanket last night, I laid them both out on the floor so I could line them up to crochet around them & ...

When I tried to shoe her off, she thought we were playing & started biting at the blanket! So I gave up until she moved on. LOL If my sis doesn't like it, Gracie does!!

LOL it suits her

That is VERY scary. It is one of the worst out there. Great that your youth centre are talking to kids about it!

I have never heard of Lasagna soup. This is another one I must google!!! You guys on here have been giving me lots of new ideas lately! Let me know how it turns out!

Have a beautiful day Snowflakemom!

Welcome to my world! Glad it has stopped now for you. I hope you don't get anymore as it sounds like your creeks are ready to overflow and you don't want that!!!
See you tonight.

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!

Did you get your sub ordered? Have a great day Edge! Enjoy the pizza!

Have a great day Holiday!! Love the pic of Gracie and the blanket! Such a cutie!

Happy Pines Day, SnowflakeMom!
Adi measured out by us, and it's only 9 inches. Some areas are more, because of the blowing & drifting, it really seems like it should be so much more. Probably because it has been non-stop and low visibility for 24 hours!
Hope you have a GREAT day!

Thank you Festive...I have some hot pancakes here to share too
