Oh ... and Happy New Week, everyone!

Hoping for a workweek that's a bit less hectic. We've had some major presentations in the pipeline recently. I'm hoping there aren't any this week.
 
Good Morning, Folks.
We have reached another Milestone Week.

Yes, on Wednesday ('Pines Day!) we will open the 200-day Christmas Day Window and commence our journey through a double-100's count.

The fact this falls on Wednesday is, of course, not lost on Carl and no doubt there will be some theme for this week's open house that will integrate the marker.
Stay tuned.

Days to the Season: 160
Days to Christmas Day: 202


A good soaking rain fell yesterday evening and we have commenced this new week damp here in central North Carolina at 73 degrees.


You have a Marvelously Merry Monday, Everyone.
And I hope and trust your week is off to a fine beginning!
Looking forward to it, Crown! Thanks!
Have a fabulous Monday!
 
Love the picture snowflake! Good morning to you! Have a WONDERFUL week ahead. Good luck today with the continued move preparations!!
Thank you, DYHWIH!
Good Morning & Merry Monday!
Hope you have a fabulous start to your week!
 
Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a weekend!

I tried to open the pool Saturday afternoon, but it took all afternoon just to get the crazy pool cover off. It was covered in pecan leaves & rain water. By the time I got the cover off, the 95° heat and 100% humidity had almost killed me LOL. And by that time, the pool store was closed, so I couldn't buy any chemicals. So now I have an open, GREEN pool. LOL

We went to mom's after church yesterday for lunch. While we were there, a storm came up, and lightning struck the tree in the front yard. Then her power went out. She called later to say that the power was back on, but the lightning had busted a water line in the front yard. I went back and dug until 10pm last night. We found the damaged pipe, but we didn't have the right fittings to fix it. I got it ready to easily fix for her, and she capped the pipe this morning. After she turned the water back on, another water geyser appeared farther down the line. Darn that lightning!! I think it's my brother's turn to dig!

Then, there was no power at my house this morning, so I had to wear a hat to work. Grrrr.

Other than all that, things are great! LOL Seriously, thanks the Lord for this day!!

Oh, and today is Nancy's birthday!

I hope y'all have a great one! :D

Let me just start by saying I don't know how you manage to even move in 90 degree weather. Bet you guys will enjoy the pool when it is up.

Thank goodness no one was hurt by the lightening. Scary. Sorry you had al that work to do over your weekend. Hope your mum's pipework gets sorted soon.

Bets wishes to Nancy. Have a good day !
 
It's been one heck of a year already for us in my family...currently two members of the family in the hospital, another recovering from a broken leg, and another in and out of the hospital. Also, last night a family friend we've had for generations passed away. I'm a chaplain and had been at her retirement community before moving to my current community, so I've been asked to do her service. An honor but also so difficult!

I'm ready for some Christmas cheer. Who's got some today to share?! :rolleyes:;)
Sending some your way, as well as strength and prayers~
Thinking of you and your loved ones.
{{{hugs}}}

Good Morning, Brad~
Happy Monday!
Sounds like some frustrating challenges this weekend, so glad no one was injured.
Love your positive and grateful attitude, though :)
Sending positive vibes your way! Hope your week goes great from here on out.
Happy Birthday to Nancy!
Have a blessed day!
 
70s is hot? :) Enjoy your heat. Hope your thunderstorms aren't too bad!

Merry Monday Festive!
It will only reach 78F here today and we consider that a big cool down.
Weather is so relative. :rolleyes::D

I had an awful headache yesterday due to the heat as well-it's going to be about 90F here today. Summer is here, and that's just fine, because it means fall is that much closer! I hope you feel better today and have a good week with your kids!


Yeah I guess I must sound like a wimp but this is HOT for us! 60s is our usual summer average if we're lucky.
