Afternoon all,
I could only catch up a few minutes and now I must dash. Hope your day is going well. See you all later !

Hope you have a wonderful afternoon, Sam!

 

[MerryCarey]

I do, too. Brightens my day!

Thanks for your thoughts, Merry.
You & Mr. remain in ours, too.

Thank you ... always very much appreciated!

Oh my! I didn't realize Maggie was having so many issues again. Prayers for her & for you! I hope the specialist has some answers!!

Thank you so much Holiday <3

 

[HomemakinGirl]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get to feeling better quickly!

It really is a shame that Def Leppard isn't rescheduling. That would be an awesome concert!

I hope your day is good!

Thank you so much Brad!

I am really sorry to hear this. Just when you think it might be under control only to have it flare up again. Very frustrating and worrying for you and so uncomfortable for Maggie. I hope they can come up with something. I have everything crossed for you.

Thank you so much Festive ♥

I hope there's a solution recommended for your sweetie tomorrow~
Praying hard for you both!

I hope so too! Thank you Snowflake <3

That's a bummer about the concert, hope they come back to your area again soon.
Take good care of yourself.

Thanks again. Sending hugs and prayers back your way ♥

Good Morning.

Straight to the count with no preliminaries:
Days to the Season: 263
Days to Christmas Day: 305

And now we are but FIVE days away from the third Milestone of the 2016 Countdown, the 300-day Christmas Day marker.
Then, a double-200's count and a gradually acellerating movement towards Christmas Season 2016.
(You are well aware of just how fast it can creep up on us!)


Chilly and quite damp here yesterday.
The dampness continues today with warmer temps, which are the harbinger of possible severe weather from that system coming our way from the southwest. (We could be in for an interesting day!)
Right now we are at 55 calm degrees here, but there is an unsettled foreboding in the air.
The weather service advises we cannot fully relax until early evening.


But, regardless of the weather, Carl is ready and willing to see to it everyone who visits the Shispering Pines Inn tonight will have a great time, whether or not you try one of his beverage blends.
(My personal recommendation is that you stick with the iced tea. You can't go wrong there!)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks.

Stay safe. I hope the bad storms miss you! See you tonight!

Enjoy your snow...personally I don't want to see anymore till December . The cookies sound good!

Boooo! Lol
I wish I were the one staying with her tomorrow to watch it snow & bake cookies. Ah well... I will just have to eat the cookies. Ha ha

Around here, the gray squirrel is king, but there are a few fox squirrels around. They vary in color, which is why it's so neat to see them. We have one near the house who looks kind of like this:

Very cool looking!

Good Pinesday morning, my Christmas friends!

All this talk of snow is killing me. Yesterday at lunch it was 83°F, and we had thunderstorms last night. Glub, glub, glub.

I'm still swamped here at work, too, so I better get back to it.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Come on over around 8am tomorrow - we have a 93º chance of snow! Have a good day!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you both ♥
Maggie is coughing again, she sounds awful. She was on antibiotics for two months and she was doing pretty good but she hasn't been doing well since she finished the medicine. I'm bringing her in tomorrow to be examined, I'm sure they'll be running some tests as well. I will definitely keep you posted.

Poor sweet girl!! Sending prayers. Maybe a different antibiotic can clear it up! xx

 

[snowflake22]

Thanks again. Sending hugs and prayers back your way ♥

You're very welcome <3
And thank you.

Good morning Holiday, Happy Pines Day!
Be safe out there today!
Continued prayers for your mom <3
Wishing you a wonderful day as well!

Good morning, holiday! Happy Pines day!
Stay safe and dry today~
Hope you get the maximum accumulation expected!! I know Gracie would love that, too!
Continued prayers for your mom and her recovery, I bet she's so excited to be home.
It sounds like your sister and your mom have some lovely plans ;-)
Sending hugs and prayers your way!

Thanks girls! My sis is bringing her home around 1:30 this afternoon! Ya-Hoo! My great niece/nephew made a welcome home sign for her I'll hang on my lunch. She has welcome home balloons in her kitchen. I have her fridge stocked. I think we are READY!!!
And yes, Miss Gracie would LOVE snow! The more the better!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning!
Happy Pines Day!
I don't have too much planned for today. I'm not feeling well so I'll just be taking it easy. I definitely caught something from my daughter, hoping it doesn't get too bad. I was supposed to see my neurologist on Friday, I'm going to call and reschedule just in case I get worse. I got an email this morning about the Def Leppard concert, they aren't going to reschedule the show. It's too bad. Maybe I'll be able to see them another time.
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Love the pic! I hope you feel better & better as the day goes on!
What a bummer about the concert!
Have a good day HMG! Take care of yourself!

I just love checking in with you folks in the morning and joining in the "chatter" ...

Thinking especially of those dealing with bad weather, and of Harlowe and Maggie, and those dealing with winter bugs and other ills.

I love popping in every morning, it's a wonderful way to start the day!
Thank you for the thoughts, you are in mine as well!
xx

It sounds like she'll have the best welcome back home <3

WAY humid. I don't know what it was yesterday, but right now it's 72° with 100% humidity. I've been fighting skeeters!

Oh ugh! I do not like skeeters!! Or 100% humidity! Whew! Hard to imagine!
