It is one of the last things I do at night, just a way to wind down and relax. Talking to great people.
It also reminds me of when I first joined and played the fun & games at night, most of the time it was just CM3 and I answering the questions back and forth in each fun & game thread. I miss her.

{{{hugs}}}

I have wonderful memories of the game threads with her, too. Lots of laughs!

Good evening,

Wild weather going on here, heavy rain, heavy wind. I hear things getting blown around outside hitting the house. it is very unsettling, the power is flickering, and it just sounds bad out there. It is suppose to get worse before it gets better. I have my tablet set up as an alarm clock if the power does go out.
Work was a slow go today, and another scout meeting for JP tonight. Busy busy busy.

I am going to try to get some sleep, my anxiety is high with this weather going on.

Goodnight, everyone.

Hope you had a safe night, and you were able to sleep decent too.
Thinking of you, my friend.

Hope you have a great day!

Another beautiful winter day here!! We have had 4 DRY days in a row!! Bitterly cold though with hard frost and ice. I think winter only just started for us
I have some work to do before I take my youngest to Nursery and I also need to tidy up before the appointment with the realtor this afternoon.

Good Morning MMC! Happy 10 Months until Christmas! We had a rough night last night-tornado warnings for a large part of the evening. We're safe and sound, but a community where I used to teach lost homes and had many injured, and a few people died elsewhere in the state. Pray for those communities or send them good thoughts if you get the chance! I hope everyone has a great day today!

For the first time ever in my life, here it is a week or so out from the first of March and I still have my tree up, decorated and lit (every night). Well, I guess that is one positive of not having a wife around to keep nagging on me to take the tree down a week or 2 after Christmas every year.... Yes, I'm being sarcastic, but I really do enjoy looking at it every night...

Hey there, just saying hi. Been a bit, yea I know, but I'm still alive. We had some really wicked severe thunderstorms that blew thru here this evening, pretty wild to have that in February with the wind, rain and lightening and all that craziness and such. Some areas in Maryland had reports of tornados...

Just Mimi and I here are here, curled up relaxing and I was thinking of everyone, so I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I haven't forgotten you all.....

Glad your hanging in there! I think it's cool you still have your tree lit...definitely helps you get through these first couple of months of the year!

I would rather have snow instead of this dreary rain we are getting tonight. It is so dark outside tonight.

True it looked like midnight outside today when it was noon!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Rudolph Day #2! Seems like it was just yesterday we said it was the 1st Rudolph Day. 10 months till Christmas woohoo. Happy Friday Eve also. How's everyone? We had a stormy night here with wind and rain. I'm reading the long range forecasts saying we may have chilly weather in early March but that may be winters last gasp. Looks like winter may leave us early this year. I'm all for that! Anyway, off to work I go for another hectic day. Hope you all are well and everyone who isn't doing great hang in there. Hope you're feeling better HMG, and your daughter, and Harlowe and xmastidings and even those we haven't heard from in recent days or weeks like Brent. I like his energy and passion for Christmas. Now that I'm done with all the shout outs lol...
Have a great Thursday aka Friday EVE!

Thanks Snowflake ♥
I wish I could say I slept well last night but I was up for hours. We were in the path of those crazy storms as well. I may have to squeeze a nap in today!
Sending love, hugs and prayers back your way!

I'm so glad you popped in xmastidings, you have been in my thoughts.
The storm was pretty wild last night, glad you are safe and sound.
So happy you're enjoying that Christmas tree, I miss mine!
Hope to see you here more often!

I hope we get an early spring, too.
Thanks for thinking of Harlowe, she had an okay night-was a bit restless, hopefully we can get some answers today.
Hugs to Nitro!

Hope you have a Happy Thursday Xmas.

Thank you so much Sam, I really appreciate the prayers ♥
