I love that, we are doing a Thanksgiving prequel this Saturday, with a turkey and all the fixings.

Have fun with that!

We did a small-scale Thanksgiving a couple Sundays ago, and it was wonderful. Just threw it together with a heat-'em-up tray of turkey and gravy, instant mashed potatoes, Stove Top stuffing, and Bisquick biscuits, but it was a little taste of November.

Costco also had a display of Christmas ribbon hidden in their electronics area.

Saw a few Christmas things coming out at Jo-Ann a couple weeks ago when I went in for yarn. Plus a long shelf of Halloween stuff! Skeletons and skulls seem to be pretty hot this year ... thinking about getting a light-up skull for my desk at work ...

There are so many leaves down at the lake already! The bike path is covered in them! I'm pretty sure it's mainly b/c of the drought as opposed to an early fall, but ... not ready, not ready, not ready! LOL! It even smells like fall riding through the leaves! Crazy! (but I do love that smell!)


I will trade my month of February for another month of late daylight too! :D

We think alike in that way ... hang onto summer while we can! But as we've seen, the trees are already giving up. And you're right, with all the fallen leaves, it even smells like fall out there! But it's still August, and I say summer!

Good morning one and all or all for one or four for a dollar...

Are you a Marx Brothers fan? That paraphrases a Groucho line in "The Cocoanuts"!

anyway I trust you are all doing well. Got home from work an hour ago and with coffee by my side, I am ready to relax before calling it a night (so to speak). I'm sure most of you have heard of Santa Claus, Indiana but for those who have not or never been there, here are a couple of photos at the entrance to the town and the town hall... enjoy!

Are you there now, or just sharing and spreading cheer? I'd like to visit there someday!
 
Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

Yesterday I was typing an email to a guy named Christopher, and I typed Christmas twice, before I got it right. Can you guess what's on my mind? :D

I finally got to go see Star Trek: Beyond last night, and it was AWESOME!! You should go, if you haven't already! I plan to go again this weekend.

I hope y'all have a great Pinesday! :D
 
I think they're on my computer at home, but I found these on the internet. It's only 20 miles away, but I almost never go out that way.

Ok, I have been around for sometime and I feel soooo sheepish but I can no longer stand not knowing/understanding and feeling totally left out due to my dumbness so here's my question. What is "Pines Day" and can someone explain it to me without making me feel dumber than I already do. LOL

Agree! I have a feeling we aren't going to have much if any of a fall leaf show this year. Too dry!
