Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Bradmac]

I've been thinking...I'm not really that crazy about the BERS, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas...ok nobody on these boards is going to believe that April Fools joke.

You got my dander up for a second there! Them's fightin' words around here, pardner!

 

[Bradmac]

Good morning!

Waiting for daylight so I can start the sump pump ~ it will be the second time today. Things were going great until around 5:00 p.m. yesterday when the rain started. I had tentative plans to go to the first church rummage sale of the season, but am staying home all day.

Continued prayers for all!

Hope everyone has a safe and merry day!

I hope the rain's not too bad on you, Meceka!

TGIF and Happy April Fool's Day, my Christmas friends!

My family was too sleepy to pull any pranks on me this morning. I was the only one up when I left to come to work LOL. I could here Jacob yelling into the headset mic on his Xbox at 2:30 this morning. Grrr.

And Jacob has a gig tonight, so I bet he'll be beat by the time it's finished. That's what he gets!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Oh dear I am sorry you have such a long drive ahead of you in those conditions. Praying for your safe travels. I hope the weather improves for you guys soon. Take good care today. Check in with us if you can so we know you arrived safely.

Thanks, Festive. I'll check in when I get there.

 

[e_xander]

Safe travels!! Take it easy out there, Sean. Will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

I'll be working in it for half the day, myself.
I was hoping for sunshine, and spring weather.

I'd love the sunshine and warmer weather, too. Stay safe and warm today, neighbor!

 

[e_xander]

Stay safe my friend. April is TOO LATE for snow IMO. But we may get some wet snow here this weekend and early next week...hopefully won't stick though.

Thanks, Edge. We had snow in May a few years ago, but I agree, even March is pushing it for snow, but living in the Midwest, it's kind of expected. Hoping you don't get snow, friend, but if you do, hoping it melts quickly!!

I know, it's late. Had an urge to come to mmc tonight. I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you all and that I'm still here. Doing ok, just taking one day started time and trying to live life.

Tomorrow, I have taken a day off of work to help my son move out. He's 23 and wants to do so and so i figure that he has to find out for himself what it's like to pay bills, live somewhere else, buy your own food etc.

Well off to bed. Mimi is already curled up in bed asleep and I do believe that I am going to follow her lead. Goodnight.

So nice to see you xmastidings, you have been in my thoughts.
Best wishes to your son, I hope everything goes smoothly.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers (((hugs)))

Merry Morning.
April!! I don't even know how we managed to be so far into the year already.
What better day to celebrate the start of a new month than on a Friday and the start of the weekend!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy April and a weekend filled with your favourite things.

That Mother Nature one is happening to us today, Festive. About an inch of snow is supposed to fall on us today, and I've got to drive 3.5hrs to Milwaukee tonight. Oh well.

Happy birthday a day late, prance! Hope you had some good wine to celebrate it.

Sean

Sending up prayers for safe travels!

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF! Happy April! Whoa April...I feel like I missed March. Well we go forward into the 2nd quarter of the year. I feel like we got an early spring and now that spring is here we're kind of going back and forth between spring weather and almost borderline winter weather. I'm so happy it's Friday. My brother is coming tonight to hang out, play a few games and have some cake & coffee. Sounds like a good Friday night to me. Saturday I have errands to do and may make nutella pancakes (never made those before). Sunday I'm going to my Uncle's for the walking dead finale as he will have dinner for us and we have fun together with it. Lots to enjoy this weekend despite the up and down weather.
Happy April Fools Day everyone or as I say Mr. T. Day!

Good morning Edge, Happy April!
I hope you have a nice day and a great weekend ahead!

I hope the rain isn't too bad!
Sending prayers back your way ♥
Wishing you a safe and merry day as well!

Good Morning, my Friends.
Ready to see today's numbers?

Feast your eyes:
Days to the Season: 226
Days to Christmas Day: 268

And we are now under four weeks away from BOTH of our next two Milestones, the 1/3 point to Christmas Day and the 200-day Season Window.
No foolin'
Just check the chart!


Lots of clouds yesterday but no rain, as our good weather luck continues.
Today has started out nice too, at 69 degrees, with the promise of warm temps this afternoon, abeit with a pretty strong chance of rain.


Oh. Before I sign off.
Carl wants everyone to know that he would like to see as many people as possible drop by the 'Pines today, but to tell you the truth I might be hesitant to go in light of today's date. He had a glint in his eye that made me more than a little uncomfortable!


Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks!

Thank you Crown!
Hope you have a fabulous Friday as well!

Poor little Maggie waking up at night. At least she is doing well with her medicine. I hope you get more rest over the weekend.


Last day of the week and then I have a 3-day weekend. I need it. Workload is insane right now as we're hiring and it's time to see all of our employees for their yearly evaluations. I'm working the evening shift today, it's rather annoying because my husband is going to see the pre-season game between the Blue Jays and the Red Sox in Montreal tonight with his father and I am majorly jealous and sad that I can't go

Hope everyone will have a good Friday

Thank you so much Martine!
I hope you have a good day!
Wishing you a wonderful 3 day weekend ahead!

My heart was sinking with each word until I got the end. You got me. I was thinking to myself you must fell over night and hit your head!!!

It's always good to hear from you ... thanks for dropping in. Take care of yourself, and say hello to Mimi for me. Email or PM if you want to chat.

Sean

Have a safe drive! And like Festive said, please check in here if you can.

 

[MerryCarey]

I guess that I am missing out huh?

Unless you travel!
Even their BLTs are excellent. Quality varies, though. We visited a Five Guys in Maryland where the fries were underdone. But the one near us is consistently good, both the sandwiches and fries.
