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!

Good morning DYHWIH, Happy Thursday!
So glad you stayed safe in the storms, sending up prayers for everyone affected.
I hope you have a nice day!

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!

Good morning Edge, Happy Rudolph Day!
I'm ready for Spring as well. It's coming, the days are getting longer!
My daughter is doing better and I'm hanging in there, thank you.
I hope you have a Happy Friday Eve!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

I'm sorry to hear that, friend
Glad you stayed safe, though.
Prayers, love, and hugs continue to flow your way To Maggie, too.
Harlowe is sending you all extra hugs.
Thinking of you, hope you feel better soon.
How is your daughter?
Xoxo

Thank you so much Snowflake, sending big hugs back to you and Harlowe ♥
My daughter is doing better, she's going to head back to work today for a few hours. I would have liked to see her stay home one more day but she was getting nervous about missing so many days. Thank you for asking!

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!
Have a fabulous day~

Glad Harlowe is doing a little better. I hope they are right about the early spring!

Good Morning, Folks.

Down to barely over HALF A WEEK until our next Milestone Marker.

Days to the Season: 262
Days to Christmas Day: 304

And indeed. As of February 29th -- Leap Day -- we will open that 300-day Christmas Day Window and step through it into double-200's territory.
(We seem to be moving right along, don't we?)


Looking forward to a calmer, drier day today after yesterday's stressful vigil, as the weather service issued one tornado warning after another for our area of NC.
Homes were destroyed to the north and northwest of us with more tornadoes to the south. Fortunately, nothing like that happened near us. Just a few branches and pine cones for me to pick up in the yard today.
This morning has commenced peacefully, at 44 sunny degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, my Friends!

Good Morning all my Christmas loving friends !

Taking mom for her regular appointment with eye specialist this afternoon. Of course we have to stop at all the thrift stores too.
Rain had turned to snow but not nearly as bad as predicted.
Hope you all have a great day !!!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!! TGIFE! We got some snow last night - it's all white when I look outside, but blades of grass are still poking through. Still snowing though! xx Windy too! The roads had enough heat in them, the snow is all melting on the roads. I hope it snows all day! xx
Mom is home & had a good night. Took her 1st real shower in 2 weeks this morning. Can't imagine how awesome that had to feel. I'm feeling jealous of my sister who is there with her today, baking cookies, watching it snow! Wish it were me! Ah well... Thanks for all the thoughts & prayers for her! Home Health is coming this afternoon. Hope that goes well! xx
Have a fabulous day MMC!

And then it gets colder again…

Merry Morning!
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.

Merry Thursday MMC! The storm we had last night was crazy! I could barely sleep with that wind...all I kept thinking is that a tree was going to fall on the house. I definitely will be having an extra cup of coffee today. Just think 10 months from today will be Christmas Day!! Enjoy the day!

Glad you and your daughter are getting better in time for the weekend. Hope that trend continues. That was some storm last night!

Thank you so much!
The storm was pretty wild, definitely nerve wracking.

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

I'm not a big fan of driving in snow, but for looks, I'll take it over rain.
Tuesday night we had some snow before the temps rose and it changed to rain. We were picking up a few things at the supermarket, and it was so pretty as it fell. Mr. wondered if I had any Christmas music to go with it, so I turned on Kringle Radio for the ride home. That was great! Of course none of the snow was left by morning ... it was just a wet mess.
