Christmas Countdown - 2017

[CGYager]

Good Friday morning! A 4-day weekend for me. It's so cold this morning, a measly 7°C/44°F. First time in a long time that I'll have to wear a jacket to walk Loki. As much as I look forward to the Christmas season, I wish Summer would last longer. This will be a day for chores and running errands, trying to get a lot done so there will be less to do this weekend. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi there Martine. I still have tonight and Saturday to work, but then I'll call it quits Sunday - Tuesday. Not quite as chilly here with temps in the upper 70's for highs and upper 50's for lows. May get a bit more yard work down before I hit the sack, but still time to wish you a very nice day (Loki too)...

Right back at you Solice and have a fun 1st Day...

Welcome to the Bers!! We made it and this year has certainly flown by! It feels like fall out there for sure this morning. Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!!

Morning SnowflakeMom. I trust your 1st day of Sep is going well. I love the feeling of Fall, especially early morning walks (usually down to Bagel Boys). Have a fun Friday and a wonderful weekend...

Glad to see the 'ber' months have arrived. Yesterday was payday. We are paid monthly and I'm counting them down to retirement. 10 more to go.

June 2018 will be a bittersweet time. I retire but our son gets married and moves out.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Happy 'BERs, Christmas friends!

Been, busy, busy here at work again, but I had to drop a note about the first day of September!

And hunting season starts tomorrow!! Woohoo!!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Enjoy your upcoming retirement! I'm sure your son leaving is tough, but maybe you'll have grandkids soon!

Happy FriBERday?! I don't think it works like that, does it?

As many of you have already said, we have reached the 'BERS! It's that time of the year where everything seems so much closer than before. It's wonderful!

I'd love to stay and chat, but I still have far too much happening. I need to do some cleaning, hopefully go to the gym, pack my clothes and a few other things, pickup some groceries... I'm sure there's more. Kim and I are heading to a campground setting for yet another wedding. Our friends Cassie (who lived with us for about five months) and Craig will be getting married tomorrow afternoon. They've rented an entire summer camp/plenty of cabins for the weekend. It's going to be a different wedding, that's for sure. Anyway, about 50 of our closest friends will be there, so it's going to be a wonderful time. The only real issue is the weather. It's going to be chilly! Temperatures yesterday and today are in the mid teens (upper 50s). Tomorrow, we should reach the lower 20s (70s) with plenty of sun. Phew!

Have a great Friday, everyone! The 'BERS are here! Keep an eye out for some pre-Blossoms! I've already found some... and my excitement was very high!

Retirement? Well, you will have me beat by a bit. I have 2 years, 6 months and 27 days to go until 66 and my 2nd retirement. Enjoy...

Hi,
Wow next year will be a big year for you. I remember when your son was starting college. How time flies. Congratulations to you all on the engagement and best wishes on your upcoming retirement.

It's not long till those blossom threads blossom into being!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the wedding.

Happy 1ST day of the 'Bers all!!

Happy September 1st everyone!!!

Happy September 1st! I hope all of you will have a wonderful autumn season!
The weather here knows it: it's crisp and breezy today. Nevertheless, I'm wearing an aloha shirt today. It's my custom to wear one to work each Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day!

Welcome to the Bers!! We made it and this year has certainly flown by! It feels like fall out there for sure this morning. Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!!

Good Morning Festive. Yes, when I went to work last night at 10PM, it felt somewhat different knowing the time was almost upon us.
Welcome to September and all the fun and good times that go with it...

I forgot to mention that this morning that I saw an informercial for the Winter Wonderland Projector. It was a 1/2 hr one. Just another sign we are getting closer to the season!

This day is full of random Christmas sightings. First were those ornaments which showed up in an unrelated web search and now an out-of-nowhere Christmas episode of Pioneer Woman on Food Network.

Afternoon all

I hope your all having a good day. I have so far stuck to my early morning walks with Bruno my boy and today there was a definite nip in the air so the colder weather really did make me feel all festive this morning.

Holiday - glad to see your little newbie is keeping you busy......Ive attached a photo of our littlest newbie who comes home in 18 days - we took the kids to meet her today and she is a little sweetheart - tiny - but definitely the boss we have chosen to name her Nicki

 

[CRace57]

Ahhh September. The Holiday pre-season as I like to call it. Pumpkin Spice Lattes Came back today, Walmart's Holiday layaway starts next week, and QVC will slowly turn into all Christmas all the time. Right now they are doing a Holiday show once every couple weeks, but in early october it will go to every other dayish.

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Greetings HMG. Any special plans for this weekend? Mine looks to be very relaxing and thus far, the weather looks like it will be very cooperative (good Lord willing).
Have a fun Friday...

Awwww Nicky is soooo cute. What kind of breed is she? Your whole family is counting down the days 'til she's home, I'm sure.
