Christmas Countdown - 2016

[HomemakinGirl]

this is turning into a not good week.

My friends in Fort McMurray are safe but so many have no where to go.

Yesterday morning a friend passed away very suddenly. She had a stroke several years ago and recovered from that then had some heart issues which she also recovered from. But yesterday morning had another massive stroke that she could not recover from. Pray for her husband and her family please.

Then got my van back from repair shop to find they did something to the brakes that are now alarmingly noisy, they were fine before taking van in. So I have to drop that off before work.

So off I go, being thankful for so much that I have been blessed with.
Have a great day all

I'm so sorry for your loss Christmasstar, I will keep your friends family in my prayers.
Praying for all in Fort McMurray as well.
Good luck with the van, hope it's an easy fix.
Hope you have a nice day (((hugs)))

Merry Friday Christmas!
The weekend is finally near. Just a few more hours to go.

Michelle and I are going to an Arts and Crafts festival tomorrow morning. She likes looking for unique jewelry and I like the food and the atmosphere. We especially like going to the festivals in the fall. Love those BER months.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning everyone, Happy Friday!
Its another rainy and chilly day. I'm going to work on some chores around the house and then I'll run a few errands when the rain lets up. I decided to cook on Mothers Day instead of going out. We couldn't decide whether we should go out for brunch of dinner. Two of my girls are working, one has a morning shift and the other has an evening shift. So either way one of them wouldn't be able to go with us. I'll just stay home and cook both meals. My parents will join us for dinner. I plan on making a bolognese sauce for dinner. I have a great recipe, it's delicious! I'm going to finalize the menu plan today and make a grocery list. Anyway, not too much else going on here. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!!!

Good morning, Holiday! Thank you.
Have a Merry Friday!

Good evening,

This week is so very tough, I have worked 22 hours 9ver the last 2 dsys, went to JP's first baseball game of the season, which they won 10-9. Plans changed so now we are going to the Black Wolves first playoff game tomorrow night, of course after I work again tomorrow. I am possibly going to end up with 15 hours of OT at time and a half.
I am beat, it is time to get some sleep.

I hope to get caught up soon, I hope I haven't missed anything important.

Goodnight, everyone

Good morning, xmas!
That's a lot of hours you are putting in this week ~ I hope you are able to catch a nap or two in between work and the game.
(((HUGS)))

Across the nation Britons are waking up dazed and confused as they ponder weather forecasts with unusual double digit numbers as a mysterious phenomenon referred to as a Heatwave takes hold of the country.

Reports have come in about peculiar behaviour as people attempt to adapt to their environment by wearing footwear exposing their feet and face gear which shield their eyes from sunlight referred to as sun glasses. Men have been seen walking around their neighbourhoods shirtless and in shorts. Women have been seen in attire exposing both arms and legs identified by one witness as sun dresses.

Latest comments include :

"I don't know what to wear" cried Neighbour #1

"I found some shorts I bought back in the 80s. I better shave my legs" said
Neighbour #2

"I slept with my windows open" Neighbour #4 said in between nervous giggles.

"Tomorrow I will barbecue in my back garden."
Neighbour no. 3 spoke proudly on reaching his dream.

" I felt a weird sensation creep over my skin and droplets of water appeared above my lip and I realised this is what it is like to feel too warm."
- Me

"Momma, how long till winter?"
-My son

"I feel exposed without a coat. I don't know if I can do it"
- Mr. Festive.

Residents are expected to flock to their local shops to stock up on specialist equipment such as electric fans, sun cream and cocktails.

Experts advise speaking to Americans for advice and support on dealing with the current heatwave conditions.

this is turning into a not good week.

My friends in Fort McMurray are safe but so many have no where to go.

Praying for your friend's husband and family and friends, CS. Hope the van is an easy fix.

Thank you, Martine.
She started getting sick within an hour of taking the meds, and did throughout the night. Bless her heart.
It's so frustrating that she can't catch a break. I wish I could take it all for her.
Now we don't know what to do, hope the vet responds quickly this morning.
We appreciate the hugs!
Sending them back to you & Loki~

Enjoy your day off

Oh, snowflake, I am so sorry that the meds upset Harlowe. Praying for your sweetie! (((HUGS)))

Good morning!

Late start today because I was up past 9 last night. It was a long day yesterday ~ today should go by fast. I am cleaning/freshening the stock I pulled out of storage today and hopefully getting a pile of paperwork done.

I won't be able to pop again until sometime on Monday, so I wish all of you a safe and Merry Friday/weekend!!

Well think of the extra $...that's what I do if I work overtime.

Enjoy your Friday and weekend HMG.
I would chose a home cooked meal by you over a restaurant any day! I did the same on Mother's day. It was cosy Whatever you do have a Happy Mother's Day!

You're better off actually enjoying the day home. I think going out on Mother's Day the places are packed. I hate crowded places. We're taking our mom out on purpose a week from Monday instead. A lot less hassle!

Merry Friday Rich!
Have fun at the craft fair! Hope you have a nice day and a great weekend ahead!

Thank you. Have a great weekend!
