Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Crown 84]

Well, well, well! Look what I saw at Crabtree this afternoon.
One guess as to what will occupy this space when Halloween Alley leaves in early November!

And what an attractive corner space, too!

Lucy can't let Jackson alone!!! This morning I think Jackson was glad when I left for work & Lucy went in her cage. LOL!! Yes, they will go to the lake with us. I'm sure Jackson will want to spend some time at his trailer to get away from Lucy. Ha ha!!

Puppies will do that. A coworker showed me a video of his puppy who totally wore out a Labrador. Poor dog was lying on the floor and the puppy was still tugging at its ears/tail etc. Sounds like Lucy loves her new friend.

Good afternoon all.

After another hot day with a high of 83. Tomorrow's forecast high is 71 and Saturday's is 69 with a low of 46. Its about time fall arrived. Unfortunately temps are expected to go back to upper 70s next week. We'll enjoy the nice temps while we can.

Have a blessed evening.

Good evening, my dear friends.

FALL WEATHER IS BACK!

We are 15 degrees cooler today than yesterday (it was 91 yesterday) and it sure is a welcome change. I was outside on our deck yesterday and all of the sudden the wind picked up, the temp dropped like 7 or 8 degrees in a few minutes...and about 15 degrees within an hour. I just smiled and enjoyed it with a nice glass of apple cider from my Keurig and felt as if fall came to visit me. It was so nice.

About to head home and enjoy some pizza and Thursday night football. See y'all tomorrow!

Finally got the windows back open and the AC off. Such a wonderful cool breeze coming in the windows. Stopped in the grocery store today and as soon as you walk in they have a whole wall up front filled with all kinds of goodies for the holiday baking season!

Snowflake sent me a picture of this last week and I've been stalking my Walmart every day since, waiting for them to put one out.



I'm not sure where it's going yet but I had to have it.

Merry Friday all!
Is it really Friday??

I am looking forward to a nice cosy Friday evening and weekend in with the family. We will be making some seasonal cookies , watching some Halloween shows and toasting marshmallows on the fire Love this time of year!

I am catching up with some stuff today most of which is on the PC. After that I will be ordering some floor samples and browsing some stone cladding and rustic mantle shelves for the fire place. Considering a very nice chocolate brown wood for the floors and old castle stone for the chimney/fire place. The messy work is pretty much over so just floors, fireplace and painting now to complete our family room. Then we can finally take a break !

What are you all up too over weekend?

Happy Friday MMC! Today we expect a beautiful day with a high of 70 under sunny skies. Just looking forward to an early Autumn Weekend here. Can't wait. And starting to focus on Halloween with October right around the corner. Just amazing how fast September has gone by. I hope our Holiday Season won't go this fast. And other than that, not sure what to order tonight. Maybe a sandwich? A burger? Suggestions? Have a great Friday!

Lots of work but sounds like the family room is really coming together. I love chocolate brown floors, such a rich colour. Enjoy your day Festive.

Thanks Martine. It feels good to reach the fun stage of the work like choosing colours! How are you guys? How's Lokai? Hope all is well and you have a great weekend.

Good morning ~
Happy Friday!
The temperatures cooled off a bit, we're currently at 52 degrees but will warm up to a high of 68. I don't have too much planned. I need to work on a menu plan and grocery list and run to the butcher. I also plan on taking a ride to The Christmas Tree Shop with my mom. I'll be working on daily chores in between. That's about it. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Eve-of-the-Weekenders!

Can it in fact, be Weekend Eve once again so soon?
(Seems like it was just here this time last week. Gee!)

Well, while we cogitate that mystery, let's look at today's figures:
Days to the Season: 45
Days to Christmas Day: 87

And here's another "can it be?" -- Can it really be just EIGHT days until we enter the 90 percent, Home Stretch point to Christmas Season 2017?
Well, according to the Count chart, the above statement is true.
And as we all know, the truth can set you free. (Or in this case, begin to stress you out a little!)


OK. The heat and humidity are now supposed to be behind us, with fall-like days ahead for the next several. We shall see if that plays out.
This installment has commenced here in central NC at 66 degrees.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And enjoy the anticipation of the Wonderful Weekend ahead!

Happy Friday!! We made it through yet another week! Just work for me today and my oldest daughter has a soccer game today at 4 so I will go to that. Not too many plans for the weekend. My youngest has a softball game on Sunday and that is about it. I am so excited for this fall weather! Hope you all have a great day!
