Christmas Countdown - 2017

[made582]

Good Pinesday morning, Christmas friends!

I still have a truckload of shrub trimmings in the back of my truck. I haven't been able to find the time to drive out to the farm to unload them since I filled the truck on Saturday. My neighbors obviously think I'm crazy. Two of them watched me ride by this morning LOL.

I'm going to have a talk with my son about being quiet at night. At 4:30 this morning, he stomped through the house to the bathroom, slammed the door, and stomped back. I've been awake ever since. Grr. I really considered throwing a cold cup of water in his face at 6:30, and yelling "GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE!" LOL

I hope y'all have a great day!

LOL!!!! Tell him he better get used to those late night bathroom trips. They are going to happen more and more as he gets older.

Merry Pines Day!! Just a usual work day for me. My daughter's team won their softball game so the next game will be on 7/5. The weather is beautiful outside...I am looking forward to sitting out on our deck tonight and relaxing for awhile. Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning everyone.

My wife and Henry have been trying different pancake recipes every Wednesday. Today was a German pancake with a butter. It was amazing!

I cannot believe that June is almost over. But in just a few days... Christmas in July begins!

LOL Brad!! Your post made me laugh this morning!! Hope you can catch up on some sleep tonight! Have a great day!!!

It was 70° when I went out for my walk this morning, and I could almost convince myself it was October. That was nice!

We had 62 this morning - it's 66 now! We better enjoy it, huh??

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's been a beautiful couple of days here in Central Indy but the heat is starting to work it's way back in starting today. Mom flew out to seattle last wednesday and i've been busy getting stuff done around here that's hard to do with her in the way. I've also been having fun at our county fair and enjoying the peace and quiet. Oh and there's been that whole getting stuff ready for my trip thing too. i'm already dreading how quickly it's going to fly by. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Sounds like you've had a busy week!! I'm sure you all will have a blast while on vaca! It always goes too fast...
Have a great day made!

Merry Pines Day MMC!
My oldest has been on vacation for the past week and will be heading home later today. I can't wait to see her! Typical day otherwise. I hope everyone is well!

Hope your daughter had a great vacation. But it's always nice to be home. Enjoy your day HMG.

Congratulations to your daughter and her team! The games are sure spaced out. Have a great day as well SnowflakeMom.

Good Wednesday morning! A gorgeous Summer morning but rain might move in later today and stick around for a few days. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift so I cleaned up the appartment this morning. I hate dusting with a passion. Now I'm just relaxing for a bit. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Greetings on this 28th of June 2017. This will be kind of quick, as I have much to get done in these next few mornings (I sleep in the afternoon). I hope everyone is having a great Pines Day and hopefully one of these times, I will take a Wednesday evening off to catch up on all the activities there. For now, I can only hope as many of you as possible can make it and that you all have a good time. One thing I am getting done today before the Sandman calls is cooking a turkey. Yep, a turkey. I defrosted the large freezer on Monday and it was the one thing too large to go into either of the freezer spaces above the two refrigerators we have, so I defrosted it and now it is in the over. The old fashioned way, in a roaster @325 degrees and basted every half hour until it is done. Which right now should be about 11:30AM CST.
First night back went okay, but I can feel the effects of not getting to bed until around 3PM yesterday, so I'll get a few things done and when "Tom" is ready, so am I... lol.

I'm only a fan of 85 + if we are moving in the convertible or on the boat! Today is a perfect day!! 70º & nothing but sunshine!
I love that you keep tree's up all year! So festive!!!


I hope your party all goes smooth & you have a great time!


Enjoy your nice weather!! I hope you have some time for relaxation coming up & also time for visits here! Have a great day!

Good morning Holiday and thank you for all your well wishes. The more I hear from you, the more accurate I find your name... You truly bring a Holiday spirit to this site with your heart, your thoughts and of course, your words...

I'm a vegetarian but I admit that turkey roasting in an oven is one of the best scents ever. Enjoy the big bird and hope you get to rest some today CGYager.

Good morning to you Martine. So I have to... really have to ask. What does your Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinners consist of? Happy Pines Day as well...

So our downstairs neighbours have a large water stain on the ceiling of their shower stall. Landlord came by this morning and it looks like the drain from our bathtub is leaking. Loki was going crazy the whole time while our landlord was here. He is so protective and acts like he owns this place and barked non stop (sigh). Thank goodness that when the plumber comes tomorrow morning, he'll mostly work from the downstairs appartment.
