Morning MMC! We're in Mid-October now and it's still mild. The local weather guy said we have another week after this to go for temps warming up again and then Autumn hits us and stays. I guess it's just arriving late this year. Anyway, we have some showers this morning. I've got to do some errands per usual on Saturday but this weekend is a 3 day one for me and less busy than next weekend will be. Have a great Saturday!
 
Good Morning, Friends.

Guess what!
<< What, Crown? >>
We are now less than a month away from Christmas Season 2017!
<< Oh no, Crown! I'm not read for that! >>
Well, you had best get started because time's a wastin'!

Do we dare look at today's numbers?
Yeah. Why not?
Days to Halloween: 17 (Now under 2 1/2 weeks left!)
Days to the Season: 30 (LESS THAN A MONTH TO GO!)
Days to Christmas Day: 72 (Ten weeks from the day after tomorrow!)

<< Too much, too soon, Crown! >>
Just roll with the punches, little voice. You'll do fine!
<< If you say so, Crown. >>


The weather just keeps getting better as the humidity declines, the temps get cooler and the rain stays away.
Should be a pretty nice weekend, albeit a bit warmer, and it has commenced here in the middle of NC at 64 degrees.


Have a Sensational Saturday and a Wondrous Weekend too, Folks!
 
The ducks are flying south!! Cmon snow!

So, I’m at my step-sons Jr Bowling and I’ve seen this guy here with full beard and dressed in red before today. In talking with one of the coordinators of Jr Bowling, I find out he really does play Santa (he was watching his grandson bowl.) We’ve been looking for a new Santa for our Christmas Eve party at my sister’s because the person we have now is getting up there in age and is having trouble navigating stairs. So I approached him today and told him my story and he gave me the bottom card. Then I told him about being a Christmas and Santa fanatic and then he hands me the top card. This guy is great!
 
Morning all. Well, posters have been delivered and today, after my night shift I decided to bake a couple of loaves of pumpkin bread. That having been accomplished and sampling a few slices to confirm it is good enough for the family, I am getting ready to call it a day. One more night shift and then my "weekend" kicks in. I am hoping the weather cooperates for tomorrow and I can get in one more mowing for the backyard. I am also taking my better half to the big screen, 30th Anniversary showing of The Princess Bride. It is one of her all-time favorites (of course she probably has about 100 of those) and is only at the theaters for a special screening. Nothing else huge going on here. I hope everyone has a fun-filled weekend...

Ooooh I love, love, love The Princess Bride! It'll be fun seeing it on the big screen. Hope you'll enjoy your weekend coming up CGYager.
 
Hello, everyone ... what's your weekend looking like?

Enough of my cold is hanging on to make me feel run-down and tired. I hope I can kick that off this weekend.

Hard to believe that we're so close to Halloween ... and after that my music playlists go 100% Christmas. I'd rather that things started to slow down a little bit about now! There's so much to do before the holidays, and being run-down makes it harder to get them done.

Found a "Big Box of Ragtime" MP3 album on Amazon last night---over 50 tracks for 99 cents. I've been enjoying them while I did the household bookkeeping this morning. They're laid-back, but a bit bouncy, and it's a nice combination.

Well, time to wash out the tea mug and see what else needs to be done today.
 
I'm so far behind. I need to get back to my normal schedule so I can get back in the groove.


I've been hanging out in southern Indiana the last couple of days. The trees haven't reached peak colors yet but they are getting there. The shops in Nashville did have some Christmas out though!! So that made the trip worth it.
 
Hi everyone,

I haven't been here in months. So much going on, trying to get life back to normal, but I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. My wife and I seperated for a while, but we are back together now and trying to work on things.
I hope you all are doing well

I'm so glad you checked in Xmas. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Hope you're able to pop in here more often!

Arrived back home from our 3 day hike this evening. Had a great time. It was hot but loved hiking, fishing, and camping in the GMS national park. The wilderness section of the park is awesome. Bear, deer, turkey, grouse, eagle all around you. Dinners were great with trout caught earlier that day cooked on an open fire. Sleeping in a hammock on the side of Hazel creek. Loved 3 days with no electronics. Now back to the real world...
Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

Nice to hear from you again xmas365. Sending positive thoughts your way for your whole family.
 
Good Sunday morning! Yesterday I slept in until 7am (for me that's sleeping in), but no such luck today. It's rainy but warm, a day to stay inside and relax. But we have some grocery shopping to do first. My in-laws are coming this afternoon, gotta pick-up some sweets to have with tea. Hope everyone will enjoy a great day!
