Christmas Countdown - 2017

[FrostyKnowsBest]

Good morning MMC! I guess we're almost to afternoon. It's been one of them days! Mom is struggling this morning. She's very weak. Nurse is supposed to be there before noon to check her over! xx

I hope you all had a nice weekend!!! Yesterday was the only day of the weekend we saw sunshine. It was a little chilly, yet a beautiful day. Today the clouds returned... for the week...

Merry Monday!

Praying for your mom! I hope she gets her strength back.

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

We had another whirlwind weekend filled with dance and music. Jacob was feeling better Saturday, so while we took Elizabeth to dance, he went to work. Later that night, his band played nearby, so Nancy and I went to see the show. Awesome, as usual! Yesterday evening, Elizabeth and her cousin sang at church (while I accompanied on guitar), and they sang beautifully! And Elizabeth has prom this weekend. And that boy came to hear her sing last night. Grrr.

I've been nervous all weekend, though. Lulu is having surgery again tomorrow for bladder stones. Bless her heart, she can barely go, so I know it has to be done. I hate leaving her there alone, though. She always cries, almost like a child. It might be different if they would start the procedure as soon as she gets there, but they always want her to be there 2 or 3 hours before the actual start time, so she has to be scared all that time. She has to be there at 8am tomorrow, and they'll keep her overnight. I'd appreciate a quick prayer for Lulu in the morning.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sending lots of prayers for sweet Lulu! I hope they start the procedure early so she doesn't have to be so scared for too long & I hope it goes very well & she's back home, doing well in no time!! Poor sweetie!! Hugs & prayers for you too!!
Sounds like you all had a nice weekend!
Have a good day!

Turned out half way decent today...for a change. We got in a walk and checked out the previous mountains of snow that are almost gone now. Tomorrow is suppose to be in the 60's and thats it for the week. Rain and more rain...with a extra helping of RAIN!!..lol

Stay dry!! LOL

Excited for the Sox season beginning, so much sports to follow right now. I remember my senior year in high school (1993) waiting outside on the Friday before spring vacation and it was snowing. People were so upset that it was snowing in mid-April.

Looking forward to Reds opening day today...maybe just maybe they'll have a good season?? Between the Reds & the Browns, my teams haven't had many wins in the recent years. LOL!
Have a good day!

Happy Monday MMC! Happy to me because my supervisor is back today which I'm glad about. Also, it's April now and well it just feels good saying that knowing we're really into spring. Looks like this week we will have a couple of more rain storms. At least we won't have a drought this summer most likely. Just a Monday at work and should be busy this week as I always am the 1st week of the month. Have a great day!

Going to be a rainy week here too. I'll just about bet by July/August we'll be begging for rain again.
Have a great day!

Good morning ~
Merry Monday!
It's going to be a pretty nice day, partly cloudy with a high of 57 degrees. I was going to put my food shopping off until tomorrow but we have some rain moving in so I think I'll get it over with today. I'm also going to take a ride to Hallmark for Easter cards. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be shredded chicken tacos. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well. Wishing all of you a wonderful day and a great week ahead!

Dinner sounds yummy! Maybe I'll have to make taco's for tonight too. Hope you're having a great day!

Good Morning, April Aficionados.

And that is indeed incredible, isn't it? APRIL already!
I step away for a couple of days, come back, and it's another month entirely. Where is the year going, for heaven's sake?
(Hey, we know, don't we. It's slowly dwindling down to Chrsitmas, that's where!)


First up this morning: The count did not lag. It stayed intact while I was gone.
Not surprising, really. After all, we have the Edge here, don't we? And not just the Edge, the one and ONLY Edge.
Many thanks, my Friend!


And now to the count. (And I'm afraid to look. But I have to.)
Days to the Season: 224
Days to Christmas Day: 266

The 1/3 point to Christmas Day 2017 -- only 23 days ahead!
The 200-day Season Window -- just one day after that!
BOTH counts getting close to the 3 week mark.
(We are so moving, Folks. It's scary!)


Real nice weather for our trip to the coast. The winter was kind to the cottage and there was not too much remedial work to be done. Just a bit of brush cutting and minor repairs. Had a nice dinner out Saturday evening at one of the fish restaurants.
The weather forecast for here shows good days ahead. Not too hot. Not too cold.
(Now if only it was not so polleny!)
We are at 52 degrees here right now.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!

Welcome back! Glad to hear you only had a few minor repairs at the cottage!!
Hope your Monday is going well!

Merry Monday! My daughter is feeling better, no fever this morning and I think she just has a cold. Just a regular work day for me and I am going to make a roast for dinner. Looks like tomorrow will be a wash out with all the rain we are going to get but oh well! Hope you all have a great day!

Hope you are having a great day SFM!! Merry Monday! Stay dry tomorrow!

Good afternoon/evening Solice! Nice to see you!

Good Morning Holiday. My prayers for your Mom and you this day. I hope it is something very minor that can be taken care of quickly. Weekend went well, but that is also due to Saturday night still being a workday. I was off yesterday and today.
Have a nice week and enjoy the Spring season...

Praying she feels better!

Praying for your mom! I hope she gets her strength back.

Thank you all! She was a little better at lunch. Nurse was there - she has a low grade fever & some fluid build up on her left side. She started on Tylenol & Lasix this afternoon. She see's her heart doc on Monday next week, so hopefully they can get something figured out for her. Unfortunately, her heart is just not good!

Afternoon MMC! I hope you all have an excellent week!

Hi everyone.
Cooking dinner and thought I would stop by and see how everyone is doing.
This is testing week at school. You know, the week when we give students a bunch of senseless exams, taking away valuable class time when students could actually be learning.
In better news for students, this week is also National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. Thursday, we will induct 16 new members. I am the NHS advisor and this year has been difficult to organize because of a lot of factors outside of my control. But, the ceremony will occur no matter what at this point. It is great for the kiddos, and I am super proud of those we are inducting, they are all great and deserving students.

How is everyone today? I know it is Monday.

Wish they would start thinking about quality over quantity.
