Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

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!

Sounds lovely! Enjoy your time together!

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF! Just a quick hello before I post the count. It's miserable out here. It's pouring rain and in the 40s. Welcome to MAY! The last time that I have seen the sun in my area was Saturday. Now they're saying cloudy for Saturday here so I'm not even sure if we will see much sun tomorrow either. I'm looking for it though! We got a lot done yesterday so I'm hoping that I can leave on time today and go home to have a pizza burger and French fries. That's pretty good Friday food.
Have a great Friday everyone and let's get to the weekend!

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday! Yippee!! I'm antsing to get out of here already & it's only 8:40! LOL Sun is shining, it's a beautiful day! Supposed to hit a high of 70º! Bring it on!!

We did go out for Mexican last night. The place was packed! I had a strawberry margarita, plenty of chips & salsa & then of course I couldn't eat all of my meal. So yummy! Our friends who we haven't seen for too long met us there! It was nice!

As soon as I get outa here at noon, I'm picking up Emma to bring her back to Amishville. My friend is riding along & we are going to hit the garden centers over there again. Such a beautiful day for that! Excited! When we get home, we'll be packing up & heading towards the lake for the weekend! Tomorrow is Derby Day & then the Cinco de Mayo party at our landing! Hoping the rain stays away!! Sunday is supposed to be very nice for Mothers Day! We are thinking about smoking some chicken quarters at Moms.

Happy Weekend everyone! YAY!

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!

It's true. every where is so packed and crowded. I don't feel comfortable. Have a nice time celebrating with your mum!

Good morning everyone! Believe it or not we are entering the 1st weekend of May. Feels like only yesterday we were entering the Christmas Season and here we are almost halfway back to it starting all over again. Speaking of let's see how close we are to halfway shall we?

Days to the Season: 191
Days to Christmas Day: 233

Just like that we are now only 9 days away from hitting the magical halfway point to the Christmas Season! Unbelievable! 1 week from Sunday we will arrive at that special marker.

Currently in my neck of the woods it's in the mid 40s and pouring rain. Not quite May weather but at least it's Friday. Speaking of...have a fantastic Friday everyone!

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

(((Hugs))) I hope things get better soon! Have fun at the game!

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.

Oh Festive! This made me laugh out loud! I love it!! Enjoy every minute! Have a wonderful day!!

It's going to be a gorgeous, sunny day with warmer temps here. I have the day off but I have to go in to work briefly to set up a contest for our employees. And then I have a ton of errands to run. I'm hoping to get everything done by midday so I can relax and enjoy the weather.

Hope everyone's Friday at work will go by quickly so you can all enjoy the weekend. I will be working this weekend, so no fun for me

Enjoy your day off!!! Happy Friday! Hope your work weekend goes well!

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

Oh gosh CS! Sending big hugs & prayers. So sorry to hear about your friend. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.

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!!!

Sounds like a wonderful plan,and delicious meals!
Stay warm, and have a great day!
xx
