Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Meceka]

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

The pool is open! I worked all day Saturday (I have the sun-burned shoulders to prove it), but it's now clear as a bell. I have a 4-day weekend coming, and I plan to run the grill and the smoker all weekend on the deck. Y'all come!

We went to our church service, which is 9:30 - 10:30, then to the church where Elizabeth participates in their youth group from 11:00 - 12:00. After that, we went out to lunch with Mama and some other family members. Then Elizabeth's boyfriend graduated from high school, so we went to that. It was a full day in my "church clothes". I was glad to get home to my stretchy pants yesterday.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Congratulations to Elizabeth's boyfriend and best of luck to him in his future endeavors!

Have a merry day!

Good morning MMC! "Merry" Monday!!! So I get into work this morning & the AC is set at 65º!!!

Needless to say, it's not running now cuz I bumped it up! It's chilly out this morning - 60º & very breezy. Why is the air even on??? Brrrrrr!!!

We gad SUCH a fun weekend at the lake. It was so nice knowing mom was taken care of & I went to the lake Friday & didn't come home until Sunday evening! Friday night we had snacks at our trailer ~ I made stuffed jalapeno's. YUM! Saturday morning I watched the Royal Wedding, then 4 of us girls went to Amishville, Flower shopping. We filled the truck again! SO FUN!!! We met the boys at a local pub & we had cheese curds. OMGosh!! So, so good!! Then we went to another place where we split an order of brisket fries & we tried their bbq brisket pizza. Such yummy food!! We will be going back! We had lots of laughs & yesterday we had a flower planting party at the lake. Just a fun, fun weekend!

Then, I got the sad news yesterday that my moms youngest sister passed away. So sad. She is such a neat person & will be missed by many! She was really struggling towards the end of fighting pancreatic cancer, so she is now at peace & no more pain!

I just pulled "A Christmas Prince" up on Netflix. Might have to listen to that on Netflix this morning. Seems like a good thing to do today!

Everyone have a good Monday!!!

Holiday, I'm so sorry for the loss of your aunt, but I am glad she isn't suffering anymore. Keeping your family in my prayers! {{{HUGS}}}

So happy to read that you had a nice weekend at the lake! I hope your upcoming holiday weekend is even nicer!

Thanks, Everyone!!! After an hour and a half, they finally decided that having someone who's had three strokes and 22 mini strokes on a treadmill wasn't a good idea. So we get to go back tomorrow morning at 7am for a drug induced stress test.

How frustrating that it took whoever decided to change the test so long to make that decision. Praying tomorrow's test goes well and that your mom gets a good report! {{{HUGS}}}

Good morning and Happy Saturday!
It’s going to be another rainy day with a high of 60 degrees. I’m just having my coffee and I’m watching the royal wedding. I’ll be heading out later this morning for Rocky’s obedience class. I don’t have too much else planned for today. I’ll just be working on the laundry and a couple of other chores around the house. I’m taking a break from cooking tonight, we’re going to order pizza for dinner. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

So is Rocky a graduate?

 

[Holiday]

Good Afternoon MMC !!!

I'm back at last !
I have missed you all so much !

Once again I have a computer and can be here

Star!! Nice to see you! I was just thinking about you this morning & how we haven't heard from you for awhile. Welcome back!!

 

[Holiday]

Mimosas, donuts, and dream books. Not a bad morning at Hallmark. Lol!!!

Now for Indy 500 qualifying, the Preakness, and the Nascar all star race.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday!!

Sounds like a darn good morning!

 

[Holiday]

What did you both think of the royal wedding? I am just now watching it on dvr as I worked all day. I think it’s a lovely ceremony and I loved Meghan’s dress, very simple and elegant. The veil with the Queen’s tiara was spectacular. I’m a sucker for these types of ceremonies.

I agree - I thought it was beautiful!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Sunday!
Another rainy day! We’re expecting showers this morning, chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon with highs near 70 degrees. Rocky does not like this weather at all, the poor thing doesn’t even want to step on the wet grass. Not too much going on here, I’ll just be working on the laundry. I’m making lasagna for dinner and we’ll be watching the American Idol finale later tonight. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone has a great day!

Poor little guy!!!

 

[Holiday]

oh yeah, we have a new family member....this is Speedy

8 weeks old and he is very fast ! Penny is not impressed but I am sure she will grow to love him too.

Speedy is adorable!! I hope he & Penny become good friends!

Sorry to hear about your Aunt

Hope she had a good time at prom!!!

Thanks, she had a blast .. according to her lol

Good Morning, MMC!!! I'm just sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. Mom has been having some chest pain so her doctor ordered a stress test for this morning. Which her walking on a treadmill after her strokes should be interesting. At least we are already here if she falls and breaks something. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Praying for her and you.

 

[Holiday]

Morning MMC. Can't believe it's the week before Memorial Day! Looking forward to the long holiday weekend all week long. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We should have a nice day today here. Had a good time at the uncle's yesterday and now just focusing on working for the holiday weekend. Have a good Monday!

Bring on the nice long weekend!! I have mom this weekend, so it will be a different kind of Memorial weekend for me, but that's ok! Hope your Monday is going well!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning ~
Merry Monday!
We’re going to have lots of sunshine today with highs near 75 degrees. Not too much going on for me, just a Target run and daily chores. I’ll definitely get outside with Rocky to enjoy this beautiful weather. I hope everyone has a nice day and a great week ahead!
xx

I hope you & Rocky are enjoying a nice day!!!

Good Morning, Friends.
A new week has arrived quite dependably, right on schedule.

And of course, as always, so have our count figures.
Here they are, proudly presented:
Days to the Season: 176
Days to Christmas Day: 218

That 200-day Christmas Day Milestone marker? Well, it's getting closer and closer, Folks.
A scant EIGHTEEN days away, now. Barely over 2 1/2 weeks up the road.
Then a DOUBLE-100'S count, as we begin to move into faster track territory!

Not so warm yesterday and we had a respite from the rain, however brief. We have a stronger chance of precipitation today and tomorrow.
At this hour, we show 71 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone.
And a great week, too!

Thanks crown!! Hope you had a good weekend & your house is coming back together!

Merry Monday!! So nice to have the sun shining. Typical day of work for me and then my daughter has a softball game tonight. Looking forward to the upcoming 3 day weekend...hope you all have a great day!

Hope you are having a great day too SFM!!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Monday!

Almost all the fog is gone now and the sun is shining brightly ~ what a great start to the work week! I'm planning my week out this morning and then I might do a bit of gardening before working on a few projects for the store. I never did move the apple mint yesterday as it was way too wet out there for me. One of these days I need to buy some gardening boots!

Have a merry and blessed week!!

Hope you were able to play in the dirt today!! Have a great day Meceka!! Merry Monday!

Congrats to Elizabeths boyfriend!
Hope your sun burn doesn't hurt too bad! Nice to have the pool up & running!!
I will be over for some grilled & smoked food. YUM!! What are you going to smoke?
Hope your Monday is going well!!

Oh gosh. I'm surprised they had her try. I'm glad she's ok & sending prayers for good results tomorrow!
