Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Crown 84]

if no one else has stepped up I would love to do this for you while you relax and enjoy your road trip

Edge already beat you to it (but has left open the door to sharing the days if someone is interested).
Thanks for the offer!

MMC is my happy place! Hope you get enough rain.

I guess I have two happy places!
"enough rain" is a bittersweet statement!!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you Holiday, I appreciate the prayers!
Maggie had a pretty good stretch of sleep last night, probably because I kept her up late last night watching the game!
Hope you have a good day too!



Nice! So exciting! I think my husband is going to open up our pool soon, I can't wait. I hate looking at that pool cover!

You're welcome! So glad you both had a good stretch of sleep. Maybe she needs to stay up late more often!
How exciting to open up the pool! I hope he is able to do that sooner rather than later!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

It's still rainy this morning, and it's supposed to stay that way all day. Yuck. But at least it's Friday!

Tonight we're taking Nancy's mom out for her birthday to an annual production called "Tales From the Altamaha." It's pretty popular around here, so I'm looking forward to it. Of course, Nancy's sister is insisting we go to the fanciest restaurant in the area before the show. I don't like going to restaurants that recommend men wear coats. Too fancy-pants for me. But she won, so I have to dust off the old sport coat, I guess. LOL

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Birthday to Nancy's mom! Enjoy dinner & the show!
Have a great day Brad!

I hope you have a great day too!

Let me know Star if you want to do a couple days and I'll do a couple.

I want to be outside right now. It's too nice to be inside.

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Thank you!
We spoke to her yesterday by phone, and although she's physically frail, she sounded great! She has ongoing physical therapy, and her walking is improving, but she's still using a walker at home for stability.

We gave her the good news---on her birthday---that we're going to pay her a visit this summer. Now all three of us are pumped about it! Money-wise it's a scary thing, but we haven't seen her for 2 years, and now that she's 90, we can't let the opportunity pass. (The way she sounded last night, though, we wouldn't be surprised if she reaches 100!)

That's wonderful MerryCarey, I'm so happy for the three of you!

Totally agree!!! It won't be long now....

 

[MerryCarey]

Enjoy your 3 day weekend! Hope the Mr. gets the day off too! xx

Heard from him ... he says no, he doesn't. Rats. We were going to have lunch out and go to the "book fair" (a warehouse-type place that sells overstock books). But four other readers are out that day where he's temping, so he'll have a chance to show his best stuff. (Still hoping he may get a perm offer one of these days ...)

 

[MerryCarey]

Love it!

I swiped that from someone else who posted it here before.

Lunch break for me at least will be a start!

I would stay up later if she didn't wake me up all night long! It's a vicious cycle.
I was just looking at pictures of the ducks that used to go in my pool. Maybe they'll come back this year. The cats would love to see that!

 

[Holiday]

I'm off to stop at Moms, then pack up & head to the lake! YIPPEE!!
Have a fabulous weekend my MMC friends!!! Enjoy the beautiful weather!!! (hopefully you all are having beautiful weather!) xx

I remember your pics from last year. I hope they do come back!

Our local pair of Mallard Ducks have returned right on schedule to nest somewhere near our yard. The nearest open water is about a mile away, but they come back year after year.

That's so cute. We usually get a pair when my husband opens the pool. I'm curious to see if they come back!

Woohoo weekend is almost here!

I feel so unmotivated the last hour on a Friday at work lol.
