Christmas Countdown - 2016

[SnowflakeMom]

Merry Monday!

I hope this finds everyone doing well!

Congrats to Victoria on her upcoming graduation!
Happy Birthday to the 10 year-old!
Welcome back, CAH!
Yay, Harlowe!!

Yesterday it snowed ~ lovely way to celebrate the half-way point!!
Frost on the trucks this morning ~ hopefully the fruit trees will be okay. Lots of blossoms on the pear and early apple tree. Could be a bumper crop this year. The lilacs are opening up ~ gorgeous here at this time of the year.

Busy week ahead of me work-wise. I also have to find the time to do some spring cleaning/organizing. Should be fun! This week is also the big city-wide garage sales I like to go to every year. Can't wait!!

Have a Merry day!!

Thanks Meceka..have a wonderful Monday!

Good morning, MMC!

Merry Monday!

I am starting the week off on a high note, I'm so happy that Harlowe had a good weekend & is tolerating the new heart meds so well. God is good.

Bonus that I got to relax some, too.

When we stopped by the house, we found our wood & tile floors, kitchen cabinets, counter tops, doors, window ledges, lighting, bathroom vanities, and laundry cabinets all installed. Holy Toledo! That all happened since Tuesday. It was so exciting! It's really starting to feel cozy, and that it's ours.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend~

Hope you have a blessed start to your week!!

Merry Monday Snowflake...wonderful news about Harlowe.
Your house sounds like it is coming along great!!
Have a great day!!

The cold has returned here too with hard frost the last few mornings. Some parts are seeing some snow. I love lilacs. Please post a photo when you can.

Good luck with everything this week.

Have a great day Festive!

Good Morning MMC! Ol' frosty forgot he has a day job now and stayed up far too late drinking beer, working on a Christmas playlist and watching game of thrones. Now it's time for lots of coffee! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Hope you get some caffeine Frosty!

Good morning all. I wasn't on the computer yesterday so I didn't see all your cold/freezing posts until this morning. I am so sorry you all are dealing with unseasonably cold weather. Winter is long enough with it protruding into spring.

I almost reget to say we had near perfect weather on Sunday. 80F and a little breeze. We went to church, out to eat, grocery shopping, fishing (again), swept the pool, played cards with the kids, and relaxed in the evening. It was a most wonderful day.

I hope your weather turns for the better very soon. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Have a great day Rich...sounds like you had a great weekend!

Good Monday Morning MMC! Happy mid-point day of May! 15 days behind us and 15 ahead of us after today. 2 weeks till Memorial Day. Now that I laid those stats out there for you all (in preparation of posting the count momentarily) I have the heat running on May 16th. This is late for us to be using heat. Usually by now we start to think about putting the aircondition up soon. Not this year. Anyway, I have the day off and we're taking my mom to IHOP for a late Mother's Day gift.
I hope you all have a great Monday and keep smiling knowing that we're heading towards summertime (even though the weather does not seem it)!

Happy Monday Edge...enjoy breakfast with your Mom.
We had the heat on too...it was freezing in my house!

Hope your weekend was as awesome as your plans sounded!! Happy 10th Birthday to your daughter!!!

Thanks Holiday..hope you have a great Monday!

Umm, it is May right?



I won't complain though. High of 61 and a low in the mid 30's, this is my kind of weather.

Merry Monday!! I did not sleep well last night at all...I was up tossing and turning. Caffeine will definitely be my friend today and tonight my daughter has a softball game @5:30. I will be dressing warm for the game that is for sure...it is very chilly! Hope you all have a great day!

Good evening,

Finally a little down time to catch up on and actually do some posts.
I woke up this morning not feeling like myself, I felt like I was in a fog all day and couldn't shake it until earlier this evening. I think we've been burning the candle at both ends for too long and it is finally catching up to us. I work tomorrow, and after work we will be heading down to Mohegan Sun for game one of the Eastern Conference Final for the NE Black Wolves vs the Buffalo Bandits. (after complaining about burning the candle at both ends) I have Tuesday off, and the kids have a half day so it shouldn't be too bad. Can't wait for the game!!!
Just finishing up the evening doing a few of my favorite things, perusing MMC and listening to Quo. The wife is watching a movie I just couldn't get into so I am sitting with her, but doing my thing.

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Goodnight, everyone

Hope you're feeling better Xmas. Have fun at the game tonight!

Merry Monday!

I hope this finds everyone doing well!

May 15th at 5 p.m. we sat at the kitchen table and watched it snow. I was so in awe that I never even snapped a pic! Crazy weather.

Good morning NcGunny ~
Such crazy weather. Hope it warms up soon!
Have a nice day!

Good morning everyone. It's Monday? Yes. We are now heading downhill towards the Christmas season? Yes. We have a new milestone to look forward to? Of course yes! Let's look at the numbers this morning to start the week.

Days to the Season: 181
Days to Christmas Day: 223

What is our next milestone you ask? It's actually going to happen on June 8th and it will be the 200 day window to Christmas Day! That will happen 3 weeks from the day after tomorrow (on a Pine's Day no less).

It's sunny but chilly here. But it's all good because summertime is almost here. And I wish you all as the great Crown would a Marvelous Monday my friends!

Thank you so much Edge!
Hope you have a Marvelous Monday as well!!!

Good Morning all my Christmas loving friends !

Monday morning, a nice sunny but cold one.Lots of frost last night. I am hoping by months end I can finally get my plants out in the garden.
Have to take mom for her post op appointment today(she had laser surgery last week for her glaucoma). Also going to stop at costco, I need more flour.

Hope you all have a great day.

Good morning CS, Happy Monday!
Hope mom's appointment goes well ~
