Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Good morning ~
Merry Pines Day!
Not too much going on here, typical day of errands and chores. My youngest doesn't have work today so she'll be keeping me company, I told her I'd take her out to lunch.
Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hope that you and your daughter have a lovely time together today!
Enjoy your lunch <3

Absolutely beautiful picture MerryCarey, thanks for sharing. Glad you had such such a great time with Gloria.


Have a great day snowflake22.


Hope your day will go by quickly. Usually when we are busy, time flies (at least it does for me). Enjoy your day Rich!


Have a nice day Edge. Let's hope for sunshine and clear skies on Friday, fireworks are so much fun.


SnowflakeMom hope you have a great day. Your daughters sure are keeping you busy with sports. Nice for them to be so involved.


It rained a lot yesterday and temps have cooled down but it's still humid. Supposed to rain and thunder all day today. I hope Friday will bring nice weather, our management team is meeting up at a colleague's house and he has a pontoon, would be nice to get on the water a bit. I don't know why but yesterday I kept thinking that it was Wednesday, threw me off all day. Enjoy your "actual" Wednesday everyone!

You too, Martine!
Have a blessed day!

Hope you guys can get out on the pontoon on Friday!

Hello everyone. I am already in holiday mode this week, and am ready for the extended weekend. It's tough to be at work.

Hope you all have a great day.

I agree!
Hope you have a great day, buddy!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Not a lot happening around here today. I'm not trying to get caught up for vacation next week. It seems like I haven't worked a whole week for a while. Actually, I haven't! Not much of a company man these days, eh? Even today, I have to work through lunch and leave early to get the oil changed, and do some banking. Grrr.

Vacation next week!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope you have a great day, Brad!
Bring on vacation!

Good morning, everyone!

It is officially the final day of the school year! After today, the grade 12 students will be on their way to their next adventures. I came to Russell when these students were in Grade 10, and having taught them for three school years, I really am going to miss them. They are a great group! It will be nice to say good luck tonight at graduation. They deserve it!

It's the final 'Pines Day of June. I can't wait to see what type of special that Carl has in store for us tonight!

Not much else is happening today. It should be a busy one after school with getting some food and preparing for the graduation ceremonies. I'll probably be at the school for about 12-14 hours total today. It's all worth it, though!

Well, I have a few things to share from a recent trip to Tinseltown... They should be up shortly. I hope you enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing them, friend!

Congratulations to the graduates!

Happy Wednesday MMC! I hope you all have a great day! I'm dealing with a horrific zit on my face, it looks like a spider laid eggs in my face! Eeeps! Just thought I would share.

Happy Pines Day, Frosty!
Hope you have a merry day!

I cant see the pics!!!

I can't see them either, BOO!
I'm sure they are magical, as always!

Love all the pics. Thanks so much for sharing. An early taste of the Blossoms thread!

Wish I had a Christmas store to visit during these hot days. And that's pretty cute about Simon.

It's a shame that everyone doesn't have a year-round Christmas store to visit during the hot days! Great Blossoms reference. The Most Wonderful Thread of the Year is now less than three months away!

Thanks about Simon. He is pretty funny while watching the video.

I know you love the Blossoms thread and I always look forward to your contributions! You have some great stuff up your way.
The Blossoms is one of my favorites, too. Can't wait.
I may need to browse through last year's to get a taste.

Enjoy your day!

Yeah I was just looking through last year's too. Nice little preview of what's to come!

That is strange?

Where were you hosting the pix? I know I can't see Facebook images when people post them here (my work blocks all FB stuff), so I figured yours were from there.

And can you believe.....it's only about 3 months until this year's thread begins?

Good Morning, Folks.

Approaching the two week mark.
(To our next Milestone, that is.)

Days to the Season: 137
Days to Christmas Day: 179

That two week mark will arrive tomorrow.
And the Milestone is in fact the TWO-THIRDS MARK TO THE SEASON!
(So far -- so fast!)


Quite rainy here yesterday morning (1.5 inches to be exact) but we had a nice and clear afternoon/evening. We could get more rain each day for the remainder of the week, according to the weather service.
This morning has commenced here precipitation free at 74 sunny degrees.


Wednesday -- mid week -- Pines Day -- the last Pines day in June.
This one could be low-key this evening as Carl prepares for the big Independence Day bash to be held Monday.
Red white and blue frosted fired twinkies are a staple, of course.
Fireworks naturally, and there is a rumor our friendly activities director has commissioned at least one firework to explode in the shape of a camel.
(This I have GOT to see!)

Can't miss that!
