Good morning Solice!! Wishing you a merry Rudolph Day & a great weekend ahead!

 

[Holiday]

I love it. I bet she would be delighted with it!!!

I think so too. I would!

Merry Friday !!
Hope you guys have made it through the week and ready for the weekend. It's a three day weekend here. I believe it is in the US too? This holiday always feels like an official end to the summer even though the transition will be a bit longer. Usually the kids start school just after the holiday but this year they don't start till the following week. That's when it will really feel like summer is over.

Not much planned today. We may go to the shops, park and grab some lunch with the kids. Game night later. I am also off for the entire weekend : ) Yes!!

Have a great day my festive friends.

I wish it were a 3 day weekend, but it's ok! I can wait until next weekend! Actually next weekend I will have a 4 day weekend. I took off Friday since the Buckeyes play Thursday night - we will hopefully have a nice long weekend at the lake! xx How nice for you to have the entire weekend off. I hope you enjoy too the fullest!!
Have a Merry Rudolph day & a wonderful long weekend!

A very merry day to you all! I was feeling the Christmas jitters so I decided to check in again. I have some Christmas music playing in the background while I prepare some last minute things for work. It's hard to believe that the summer vacation is almost over. Can't wait for the Christmas time to get here, though!

Got bit by the Christmas bug, huh? Have a Merry Rudolph Day!

Morning MMC and TGIF! Off to work I go for the last day of the work week. Anyone believe this...this is the last Friday before the Bers. It's nice out and should be today again like yesterday. We expect partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s. Watching that storm head towards the south. Hope everyone near that area is safe. Have a great TGIF!

Can't believe this is the last Friday before the BERS!!! Crazy! Have a great weekend!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********



Good Morning, my Friends.

And there you have it. TWO thirds of our trip back to Christmas completed with only ONE more third to go.
And we got here so fast.
Scary!

Days to the Season: 80
Days to Christmas Day: 122

Now, let me warn you a day ahead. Our NEXT Milestone is a big one.
(But details on that will just have to wait until tomorrow.)


We did get some of the promised relief from the H&H rut, and mowing the lawn yesterday evening was more comfortable than it might otherwise have been.
Today will see more pleasant conditions continue and we have started it at 72 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks!
Enjoy your Weekend Eve.

Thanks crown!! WOW! WHAT A DAY!!! Milestone Day, Rudolph Day, AND Friday!!! Try to tell me that's not a reason to celebrate!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Friday!
Happy Milestone Day!
I hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful weekend ahead!

Good morning HMG!! I hope you have a wonderful day & weekend too!! Big plans?

Happy Friday and Milestone day! Hard to believe in 4 months it will be Christmas day!! Just work for me today and my youngest daughter has a b-day/sleepover party tonight. I think my oldest daughter and I are going to go out to dinner and finish up getting some school supplies. My FIL is coming this weekend so tomorrow night we are doing a surf/turf night. Hope you all have a great day/weekend!

Hope your youngest daughter has fun at her sleepover & you & your oldest have fun out & about. Enjoy surf/turf with your FIL tomorrow & have a great weekend!

Labor Day is Sept. 4 this year, so next weekend is the holiday weekend here.
School starts next week around here, though. (That means the commute is going to get messier and longer starting next week ... )

I have 1 more week of a quiet commute (And I suspect next week many will take off at least part of the week if not the whole week). And then after Labor Day...all the kids go back...but it will be really cool to see them around again.

Well, I enjoy reading everyone's updates, so I guess I'll add my own. Last weekend, my only daughter tied the knot and is currently on her honeymoon. This Sunday, my son (our third of six children) is marrying his sweetheart. Last evening, we moved our son's belongings from our house to the new apartment. Today, we move our soon to be daughter's stuff to their apartment as well. Tomorrow, I pick up the honeymooners in time to head to the rehearsal. Sunday is the big day! Then, we all breathe a huge sigh of relief.

We have called these past few months, "The Summer of Nuptials." I'll be happy not to talk about family weddings for a while!

HOLY SMOKES!! Weddings, weddings everywhere! How exciting!! Congrats to all!! Hope you have some time for relaxing after all this!! Have fun!!!!

Glad to hear that Gracie had note energy when Jim stopped by!! Praying she gets to come home today!!!

Thanks made! Jim stopped to see her on his route this morning. She had more energy & she ate her food last night! They are planning to send her home today! YAY!! (Can't deny it does make me just a little nervous ~ I hope she continues to do well at home!)
Merry Milestone, Rudolph & Fri Day to you!!!

 

[Holiday]

Morning all!! Not much to do today for us. I have a appt later to get the rest of my tattoo on my back finished up. Just some coloring and a bit of shading and its finally done.

Have a good weekend!!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday!! Merry Rudolph Day! I can't believe we only have 4 months until Christmas. I think it really hit me today. WOW!!! SO exciting!

I saw my neighbor lady out walking this morning - she had a sweatshirt & long pants on. It is still August, right?? It was chilly out there this morning. It's supposed to get down to 48º again tonight!

My sisters, Mom, Dena & I had such a great time last night. What a neat, neat place! We snuggled up close to the fire. Built our own pizza & stuck it in the oven. We had the place to ourselves. So nice & peaceful...and lots of laughs too!

I went to see Gracie after work. She was in the middle of acupuncture so she had to lay still. I was able to bring her outside & she just kind of starred. I got her to walk around the building & go potty. She did chase a bird. LOL! But she wasn't very active. Jim went awhile after me & she jumped up & gave him several kisses. Doc said that's something he hadn't seen before. HA!! Jim said she did not want him to leave. And she ate a little bit while he was there. He said she definitely had more energy. So I guess we'll see what today brings. The plan is for me to pick her up this afternoon whenever they have her ready to go. Hopefully her levels are more evened out today & she'll continue to improve! xx

Does anybody have big plans to celebrate Rudolph Day? Bringing Gracie home would be my best way to celebrate! Hopefully we'll watch some Christmas shows at the lake tonight!

Everyone, have a wonderful Rudolph Day!!! (Does it get much better than a Friday Rudolph Day?? )

Hope you get to bring Gracie home today!! Sounds like she is on the mend!
No real plans for Rudolph Day but maybe I will watch a few Christmas shows!

Hi all, I hope this finds everyone well! Not been around for a while and as it dawned on me that the 'bers' are almost upon us I felt I had to pay a visit here!

it won't be long before I start making my lists planning what gifts to buy the girls this year, it's easier for my younger 2 but my eldest is 16 this year and it's getting harder to know what to get her! Why do they grow up so fast??!

Well I think I a, going to take a look around the forums to see what's been happening! Have a great day everyone!

Thank you SFM! Unless if there's a sudden drastic change, I'll pick her up this afternoon!

Nice to see you Claire! Hard to believe we're almost to the BER's, isn't it! Good luck figuring out what to buy for the girls! Such an exciting time!
Have a great day!

Everyone, have a wonderful weekend!!!!

I just looked the other day. If they dont have candy in the machines they are all stickers or some huge Superball.

Yeah ... darn, those old trinkets might have been valuable by now!
