Have a great vacation and hopefully that will include at least one day to really kick back and relax. But whatever your plans I pray the weather will cooperate with them. In other words... ENJOY!

Aside from August, I knew there was a big reason why I had to return today. Christmas Blossoms 2017!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited for it, Crown. I've recently caught myself wandering around a few stores and marvelling at the autumn decor. Although I wish it was Christmas, I'm going to enjoy it for now. Our time will come! :)

Yep. And likely sooner than we think!

Welcome, August!

The 'Bers are so close, friends. Hello. It's been a while again, hasn't it? My July was absolutely crazy. I had three weeks of summer school. It finally ended last Thursday. Let's just say that teaching the same students from 8:30am until 3:35pm with a couple 15 minute break and 45 minute lunch period can be exhausting. Lucky for me, however, my students were amazing! We managed to fit pretty much all of the Grade 11 University level English curriculum into their time in my class and had fun while doing it.

I've certainly been enjoying the fact that I have had nothing to worry about since Friday. Relaxing is nice. With that said, I had to do a few wedding related things today. Even so, it's much less stressful than planning and marking and everything else I'd been doing since the beginning of July!

I don't want to talk for too long, so I'll just leave it there. I'm excited to return and countdown with everyone. Our time of the year is so close!

Happy August, everyone!!

Happy August 1st!! So hard to believe that we are here! I think it will hit me more once vacation is over. I started packing last night and think I am pretty much ready to go. I had the girls lay out theirr outfits as well. I am just wrapping up stuff for work and getting ready to get into vacay mode.
Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Merry Tuesday! The next 3 days we have a high predicted of 80 - 81º & then we aren't supposed to get out of the 70's through August 15th! That's crazy!! And I'm sure it will change! We have a chance of rain now through Friday....but right now it's a gorgeous morning!

Gracie has me worried. She hasn't eaten since Sunday evening & she threw up this morning! :( That girl! Could be too much medicine & not enough food. She goes to the alternative meds vet on Thursday. xx

I got to meet one of Mom's new caregivers, Dena yesterday. She seems very nice! I sure hope this all works out! xx

Everyone, have a great day!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Gracie isn't feeling well. Praying her appointment goes well. I will keep the both of you in my thoughts.
Prayers for your mom as well, I hope her caregivers work out.

Poor Gracie not feeling well. My in-laws' Basset Hound (pictured below) hasn't eaten in 3 days and threw up as well. The vet thinks it might be gastroenteritis, we'll see if the treatment works.

I sure hope the alternative therapy helps Gracie. I'm sending positive thoughts your way and a hug from Loki and me.

Happy Pines Day MMC! It's a warm and humid summer morning here. I decided to change from a leash to a harness for Rollins. Been reading up on the breed and the way he lunges and pulls I think he's going to wind up hurting himself. What do you guys who own dogs use, leash or harness or switch between the 2? Other than that, just looking forward to everything ahead of us. Hope everyone's August is going ok so far!

It's funny you're mentioning this as we were just thinking of switching to a harness as well, because when Loki decides to pull, he can pull to the point of getting really out of breath and that's a concern. Have a great day Edge.
 
Good Wednesday morning! It's going to be a real scorcher here. And they say that we should have great weather up until October, but I hope not as humid as it will be today. I have my last physio appointment this morning (insurance coverage is done). I know my tendon is not 100% healed, but at least I can walk longer distances without pain now. I'll keep doing the exercises she prescribed and hopefully it won't flare up again in the future. Other than that, I'll be working the afternoon/evening shift and still trying to catch up after 2 weeks off. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Morning Gunny. Still doing the Wally thing, but now (at least where we are) they are no longer allowed to use trailers. That makes for a very full back room and a lot of it goes out into the lexon of L&G for storage as well. Still get some great deals at the end of Christmas, especially when a box or two falls behind others and is not even discovered until February... ;)
Have a fun start of August...

They had tried that here CG..when they brought back Layaway in the fall now it was just to much for the storeroom. The store I worked at wasnt originially built when they had Layaway year round so its missing a second floor in the back.
 
Good Morning, Guys.

Really closing in now.
And I do mean REALLY closing in!
(Explanation to follow.)

Today's data, ready for public consumption:
Days to the Season: 103
Days to Christmas Day: 145

Can it be?
Can it truly be?
Can we be just 3 days away from the 100-Day Season Window and the start of a DOUBLE DIGIT count to Christmas Season 2017?
(Why.......that would be less than HALF A WEEK away!)
But, my Friends, it's truly true. You can check our Countdown chart for confirmation.
(Or just take my word for it.)


A delightful day here weather-wise yesterday to commence the month of August.
Normally, it would be hot and humid but it was pleasantl most of the day.
Today, we are supposed to reach 92 for a high, but with humidity readings still in the 40's, it should feel OK.
We begin things here this morning at 70 degrees.



OK, Folks. First 'Pines open house of August.
This should be the final summer-themed month of open houses before the 'bers arrive, at which point Carl really starts to get excited as the holidays begin to approach.
Hope to see everyone at the inn this evening for more summer fun, Carl style.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!
