We will go for some autumn walks along the nature trail and the parks, some hallloween baking and of course lots of halloween viewing. Mayeb a trip to one of the farms for scarecrow building and hayride.

I also plan on having an indoor camp fire night with them. I'll set up their tent in the living room, put up fairy lights and jack o lanterns, make some smores, hot dogs and read ghost stories.

Good Monday Morning MMC! It's a vacation day for me so Rollins and I are hanging out this morning while I get some stuff done around the house. I'm going to IHOP with my brother and mom later this morning. Should be fun. We always like to go there every couple of months. Hard to believe 2 weeks from today is Halloween guys. I feel like this time of year we just go from one thing to the next and each thing gets bigger and better. It's such a great feeling. Trying to take it all in day by day and make time to do the fun things that we love to do this time of year.
I hope you all have an awesome and at least tolerable Monday :)!

Saw on TV that IHOP is promoting its special holiday pancake flavors. Enjoy!

A Merry Monday Morning to you Snowflake. Now that we are done chasing each other in What we are listening to, I'm so glad your weekend went well and sorry to hear that Harlowe is having problems. I'll be sure to add his well being (along with you and yours) to my morning prayers. Busy but good day today. It is my daughter Amber's birthday. She and Connie are going to Iowa (yes people do actually go there) to pick up a "mate" for one of her many songbirds. While they are gone I will clean up and decorate the living room area in "Hollywood Premiere" night fashion for her and the feature presentation of the King & I. Believe it or not, she has never seen it. That along with dropping off a 4' Sully to the Children's hospital and a few "silk" trees to the zoo should keep me busy. At least it gives me an excuse to stop by Red Robin when I'm in that section of town.
Have a beautiful day to go with your beautiful spirit.

"The King and I"! She's in for a treat. Some wonderful music in that.

I saw it live on stage in the 1980s during Yul Brynner's last tour playing the King. I think he was already ill, but he was still amazing.

Hey Gunny. Did not know breakfast burritos were a staple of the Corps... ;)
Enjoy the meal and take stock in the time you can spend warm and cozy inside. It has to beat the bivouacs from the day.

Lol..some people take a nice comfy bed for granted but I dont. You know we used to carry burrito wrappers with us to dump everything into and the all important Tabasco. Or while vacationing in the middle East you better learn "Samoon","Khuboz", or "Naan-e Afghani" I prefer the Khuboz and Naan breads because they were more flat and user friendly. Guess that ends our bread roll up for today.

@Holiday how is Gracie handling her new medicine and probiotics after a few days? I hope all is well.

She's doing pretty well, thanks! She didn't eat much over the weekend though. That's not always unusual, but we'll keep an eye on her eating pattern. She doesn't act like she has an upset belly, but it's hard to tell. She sure had fun playing with her boyfriend Jackson this weekend at the lake! ;)

Good Morning, Christmas Chasers and Season Stalkers.

And along the way, we also pursue those Milestone Markers.
(But, of course, there are now none left between us and Christmas Season 2016!)

Today's numbers:
Days to Halloween: 14 (Two weeks from today!)
Days to the Season: 27 (UNDER Four weeks remain!)
Days to Christmas Day: 69 (UNDER Ten weeks left!)
Like sand through the hourglass, the days slip away at a steady rate.
(But unlike the days of our lives, on January 1 of each year, we get to tip the glass over and start afresh!)


Another really nice day here yesterday, still with low humidity, no rain and moderate temperatures.
Should start to get noticeably warmer over the course of this week, though.
This new week morning has commenced clear, at 61 degrees here in our territory of the great MMC Nation.


Have a Marveous Monday, Everyone.
(And I for one, hope it's better than Sunday was, when BOTH the Panthers and the Packers lost!)

Thanks, Crown~
Have a blessed Monday!

Happy New Week to all!

Only two weeks until Halloween. How did it get here so fast, when we've been keeping such a close eye on it? Somebody blinked!

Good morning MerryCarey. Yeah, time really flies during this portion of the year. I'm sure Amber will love the movie and I am envious that I never got to see it on stage.
Have a beautiful morning and week.

Good Monday morning! David is feeling good this morning but now it's Loki not feeling so well. How do I know? He refused the piece of banana that I give him every morning. That, and his stomach is making noises and he hasn't eaten. Hope he'll be better by the time we get home later. Have a great day everyone!

Sending up prayers for Loki, I hope he feels better very soon <3
