Christmas Countdown - 2016

[MerryCarey]

Happy Thursday (aka Friday Eve) to all!
Chilly day here, for June---it MAY reach 70F today. (Festive Spirit, come on over, you'll feel right at home!) A stiff breeze makes it feel even chillier. The weekend sounds like it will be pretty nice, though!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning Ryan! Merry Friday Eve!

How awesome to spend that time with your brother. Hope you get to see him again before he leaves! Enjoy your day!

Thanks!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning Holiday!
I hope you have your concoction maker in time to take it to the lake.
Have a blessed day!

Thank you! Yes, it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow! It's THE ONLY THING in the shipment, so there better be a concoction maker at my door!
You have a blessed day too!

I actually woke up cold this morning...just wasn't expecting it to feel that chilly.

LOVE to see the double 100's! Thanks for posting the count!

Oh yeah it's going fast isn't it?

 

[Holiday]

That stinks, not receiving your icy-drink maker because of some light-fingered employee somewhere! At least the merchant is making good and rushing you a new one free of charge. You'll have it in time for the weekend!

I agree! Thanks Merry! I'll bring it to the Pines next week!

 

[Edge612]

It's a shame you guys live so far apart. I can't even imagine that! We all live within a few miles of each other. I hope he has a safe trip home!

He moved about 3 years ago out there. The rest of my siblings/family all live within 15 miles of each other. The good thing is when he does come it feels special and we enjoy our time together.

I agree! Thanks Merry! I'll bring it to the Pines next week!

Oooooh, that'll be great! Does it make frozen hot chocolate??

It has been "chilly" here the last 3 mornings & evenings!! I think we better enjoy this though (here) b/c Saturday is 93º! Whew!
Have a wonderful day Merry!

YES! Always does!

Oh my! Good luck!! Must be a really fancy wedding! I've never been too a wedding where I needed a formal. (unless I was in the wedding of course) I would be in trouble if all our weddings required formals! (and broke!) LOL! Hope you find something soon! xx

Thanks again Holiday ~
The wedding is fancy schmancy, it's at a beautiful waterfront country club here on the island. Should be lots of fun!
Hope you have a great day!!!

Good morning everyone. Crown is out for today but should be back tomorrow. In his absence I shall post the count this morning. Let's look at the numbers today.

Days to the Season: 157
Days to Christmas Day: 199

And after yesterday's milestone of the #200 till Christmas Day it is an honor and a privilege to announce today for the first time in 2016 we have a DOUBLE "100s" count! Unreal. I will save the next milestone announcement for Crown on Friday.

I hope you all have a Thrilling Thursday everyone!

Thanks, Edge!
Have a merry day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!

1st of all I need to apologize for not bringing the "concoction maker" to the pines last night. Apparently there is a store employee enjoying an icy drink out there somewhere! I rec'd my flip flops, but no drink maker! Grrrrr! Long story short, they are sending a new one UPS NDA free of charge, so I should have it tomorrow! Don't ever order a pair of flip flops with an expensive item! You get the flip flops, store employee gets your expensive item! (I have never had this problem before, I'm sure it's an isolated thing, but darn I was so excited to get that thing yesterday!)

Anyway, hope you all have a Merry Thursday!

Happy Friday Eve, Holiday!
That is ridiculous! LOL!!
Happy to hear they are sending you one next day air, though!
Have a fabulous day!
