Christmas Countdown - 2016

[NcGunny]

I have never seen or heard about a Valentine's tree before!!!

Our next tree will be Easter, Spring theme,July 4th then Halloween. Btw..I just received a new Kurt Adler tree today from Amazon to do a review. So it will be assembled sometime tonite and will probably become the new holiday tree.

I often look at my baby pics and wonder what happened to me...

 

[Holiday]

Good Afternoon, friends~
Hope your Pines Day is going well!
Can't wait to see you all tonight.
*Hugs and prayers*

So cute! My sisters cat does this in their kitchen window. Adorable!
Hope you're having a good afternoon!

Hoping and praying these new anti biotics do the trick. She is going to come through this. You hang in there my friend and keep courage. We are all sending love, support and strength. ((((Hugs)))

Thank you Festive!!! She just needs a break through to make her feel like something is going to help!! Hopefully these antibiotics are it!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks!
Even though I'm certain it's a mistake, it's hard for me to relax until the doctor's office tells me it's a mistake and to forget about it. I talked to the office this morning, and they say they have been getting complaints from other patients about improper billing, so something's up. Their billing person is supposed to get back to me today. If she doesn't, I may show up at their office tomorrow morning, bill in hand, for an answer, or at least an assurance that I'm not liable for payment.

Hope you get a call today. Something is probably just coded wrong. xx

 

[Holiday]

So sorry to hear that Holiday. Hoping and praying the next round of antibiotics help her. Keeping all of you in my thoughts (((hugs)))

Thank you HMG! I hope so too! xx

Good morning MMC!
Merry Pines Day!
We're going to have sun and clouds today, with temperatures in the lower 40's. Not too much going on here, I have to run to Bed, Bath & Beyond to pick something up. Other than that I'll be working on my daily chores. My friends mother passed away a couple of days ago, we will be attending the wake this evening and the funeral tomorrow morning. The family is pretty stunned, she wasn't even sick. They think she died from an aneurysm. So sad.
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day. Thoughts and prayers for all of you ♥

That poor family! Your friend her family have my condolences and prayers. So tragic. xx

Thank you M! I am much much better. The boys are down with a virus but they are off school this week so at least they can stay in from this dreadful weather and recover. Hugs to you and Palmer. I hope you guys are well and have a nice Wednsday!

You're welcome!
I am so happy to read that you are so much better! It is very good the boys have off this week! Keeping all of you in my prayers!
We are doing well here.
Hugs back to you! xx

It's Weds! Time to dismantle the Valentine tree today. Roads are a wreck outside and lots of flooding around today. We are staying inside. Hope everyone has a good day.

I'm glad you are staying in today. Hope the conditions improve soon!

Thank you Meceka....Twin A is feeling a bit better today but Twin B is still not feeling very well...Have a merry day ahead my friend

I'm glad that Twin A is better. Praying Twin B is, too! You have a merry day, too, Prancer!

Good Morning, Friends anywhere and everywhere in the MMC Nation!

Now sit back, relax, sip some sweet southern ice tea and content yourselves by reviewing the latest Countdown release:
Days to the Season: 270
Days to Christmas Day: 312

And the latter number details just how close we are to SINGLE DIGITS to Milestone # 3, the 300 day Christmas Day window, succeeded immediately by the first of our double 200's count sequence.
(Is it too early to start feeling just a teensy bit excited?)


Well, what a difference a day makes!
Temps well into the 50's yesterday contrasted with the low 30's on Monday.
Clear skies replaced leaden ones.
Sleet and freezing rain superceded by wonderfully dry conditions.
(Mother nature was clearly in a great mood!)
Today has commenced at 43 clear degrees and we are determined to keep Ms. Nature feeling good!


Have a Wonderful Wednesday at the Shispering Pines where Carl, as usual, will be waiting at the door with that first complimentary fired twinkie and your choice of sweet iced tea or a shot of his latest experimental coffee blend.
(If I were you, I would choose the tea but perhaps you're just feeling lucky today.)

Thank you, Crown.

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines Day!!! We got a little dusting of snow overnight. Gracie was excited. She goes to the beauty parlor at lunch today for a bath & a brush out. That's about all that's going on here. Mom seemed to be in a little bit better spirits last night. While I was there 2 of my nephews came, so I snuck out....let her see some fresh faces. I think she was happy to see them. Now hoping for a good morning report today! xx
Have a great day gang. See you at the pines tonight!

I'm glad your mom's spirits were a bit better. Praying she continues to improve. Have a merry day, Holiday!
