Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!!! It's a beautiful sunshiny morning! Not much going on today, just work. I did get ALL my flowers planted last night! That's a good feeling!

Everyone, have a great day!!!!

I never watch QVC except for the Christmas in July Sale. My wife always laughs at me for watching it. I never buy anything, I just like to watch. It really puts me in the Christmas spirit!

You sound like me! And if I try to turn it on at work in July - the bosses laugh! Hmmm!

I just finished mowing the lawn and weed eating. The temperature is great today, not too hot at all. However, the pollen or something is really bad, so now my eyes are all red and itchy!
Of course I was listening to Christmas music while I was mowing.

Yes, allergies are going crazy!!
Great idea to listen to Christmas music while mowing. I'll have to try that next time!
Have a great day!

Am I sensing a trip to Wisconsin in your future???

Merry Morning and a Happy Pines Day to all!

The rain has stopped! Woke to a beautiful sunny dry morning and I look forward to making the most of the day with the kids. I may take a break from packing today. Moving date should not be far away now. We are hoping by mid june.

Last night we drove by the new house and I noticed that roses were in bloom along the garden arches! So pretty. Can't believe I'll be living there soon. These days I am focusing on all the positive things to keep me in good spirits.

Well I will pop back later. Have a beautiful start to you day everyone.

P.S. One of my American friends has been sending me funny British summer jokes ...

Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day and Last Day of May! Another month ending already? What I normally refer to as the nicest weather month of the year has turned into anything but that. It was chilly again yesterday. Today we should see temps at least get into the 60s so it's better but still below average. Of course, it's cloudy as usual and was even raining when I got up! Looks like more of this weather ahead as we go into early June. Next week they are already lowering the temps they had previously forecast and showing several days more of clouds and rain. Crazy weather...have a great day!

You all are having crazy weather!! We have had some nice days - we still need a sweatshirt & sometimes long pants at night but we have been having some nice days. It's forever & always windy, but the sun is nice! Hopefully it's here to stay!
Have a great day Edge!

Good Morning, Everybody!

Continuing our push to Christmas Season 2017, we but turn another page.

Days to the Season: 166
Days to Christmas Day: 208

Well. what do you know about that?
We seem to be down to just EIGHT days to the 200-day Christmas Day Window and the beginning of a 100's level number sequence for BOTH of our counts.
ONE LONE WEEK from tomorrow!
(Time is slipping away, Guys!)


It was a bit on the humid side yesterday, but the temperatures were not real high so it wasn't uncomfortable. No rain fell despite the prediction that it might.
Should be dry today, but this morning has started off somewhat cloudy, at 72 degrees here in our sector of the MMC Nation.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!
Hope to see you at the 'Pines this evening for the final open house of the month.
(Hard to believe it will be June tomorrow!)

Can't believe it's the final Pines night of May already!! See you tonight!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning all! Another rainy morning and they are saying we may get some storms this evening we'll see...tomorrow is supposed to be dry and pleasant..I hope so! Just my regular work today and I need to catch up on laundry tonight. I just put ribs in the crockpot for dinner. Hope you all have a great day!

I hope your weather improves soon!!! xx Ribs sound good. Since our neighbor made them for us the other night I'm wanting to make some in the smoker again! One of these nights...
Have a great day SFM!

Good morning ~
Merry Pines Day!
It's going to be cloudy with highs near 65 degrees. I have to do some shopping today, I'm looking for a birthday gift for my father. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be spaghetti and chicken Parmesan. I guess that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!
xx

Good luck finding a gift for your dad! Your dinner sounds good too! Have a great day HMG!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

Nancy and I finally went to see Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 last night. It was pretty good! We went with her sister and their niece. Two movies in two days...a new record for me! Thankfully, they had fixed the A/C yesterday. It was hard to sit through a movie in that 80° theater on Monday.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Glad you finally got to see the movie AND that the AC was fixed. Whew! Have a great day Brad!

Good Wednesday morning! I woke up early with hubby but went back to sleep after he left for work, but I was woken up by a thunderstorm. Now it's partly sunny and muggy. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift, so I'm getting a few things done this morning before heading into work. Have a great day everyone!

Have a wonderful day Martine!

The last couple of years from mid-May till mid-September I basically lived in shorts and wasn't really freezing at any point. This year it's a struggle to wear them. I'm shutting windows and my a.c. isn't up still.

Am I sensing a trip to Wisconsin in your future???

Well I have been craving some really good deep fried cheese curds. Lol!!!

This funny thing is, I'm working on planning two trips and they are both to places named Altoona.

I actually purchased a couple of Bethlehem Lights goodies for my workspace, last Christmas in July. This is not the norm for me, but it was fun. Not to mention my humble abode away from home was well visited during Advent.

July Yuletide weekend is creeping up fast! Soon to follow with my pig in the ground weekend bash!!
