Thanks, I hope Lucy does well too! The vest seems to be working great so far. The 4th will be the true test.

She made absolutely nothing of the fireworks! How did Nittany do?

Prayers for Lucy and lots of (((hugs)))

She seems to be fine & dandy. Once we got to the lake & she saw her friends - no more limping! LOL! Animals?!

Good morning MMC!! Ready or not.....I'M BACK!!!! I know I wasn't ready! (to come back to work!) How can a week off go so darn fast??
We had a great week, just hanging at the lake with friends. Lots of boat rides & cook outs! Mercy was it HOT outside though!! Whew!!! Friday & Saturday finally cooled off...but it was warm yesterday & it's heating up again today!

Family Olympics were a blast yesterday! I'm telling ya - my family 'aint right. I told my mom that yesterday & she said "It took you this long to figure that out??" Ha ha! Too fun!
Lucy had a good birthday party on Saturday! She had more fun in her pool all week ~ she was crazy in there!! I made a cake for the dogs. They gobbled it up! She's 1 year old now! Big girl! ♥

Everyone, have a great day!! Looks like I have some catching up to do!

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Monday!
I have some exciting news to share. Looks like we’ll be planning another wedding, my youngest daughters boyfriend proposed to her over the weekend. My “baby” is engaged! We’re very excited, lots of good stuff ahead. We’re already counting down to my oldest daughter & her fiancés wedding which will be on January 4th. My poor husband lol. It will be funny if my middle one ends up getting engaged soon as well. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Good morning, MMC! How is everyone doing? I slept until about 3:30 and I’ve been up since. I’m hoping that I don’t crash here later - I have a lot to get done today!

I work almost all next week, so we’re celebrating the 4th today. All my family will be coming. We plan on doing chicken quarters, baked beans, mac and cheese, fruit salad, macaroni salad, buffalo chicken dip, and cake. I’m making a special 4th of July Sangria too! I’m running out here a little later on to get the kids a new pool (there’s wouldn’t stay inflated last night), pick up some fireworks, and see if there is anything else fun I can find to do. We’ll put out our cornhole boards, have a campfire, and just enjoy and relax!

Not much else planned for today. DH is working until this evening, but he’ll run the grill when he gets home and I’ll be doing the cleaning and the rest of the cooking here later on.

I’m enjoying some coffee and HMM right now. Stay cool and have a great weekend!

Sounds like a great day! Hope you all had fun!!

Just saw a commercial about this on Hallmark and looked in to it. They are releasing new books each month - they are based on the movies on Hallmark. This is very exciting!

Also - I wanted to inquire - has anyone subscribed to Hallmark Movies Now app and if so, what do you think and is it worth the money?

I've seen the advertisement for the books, but haven't bought any.
I was also wondering about Hallmark Movies Now. I wasn't planning to do it since I already subscribe to Netflix & Amazon Prime, but it's tempting!

How are sweet Rocky, and the kitties?
Sending love and hugs back to you!!

Rocky is doing good. He can be quite the wild man though, keeps me on my toes. The kitty cats are great and Rocky is finally getting along with all of them!

Good Morning, Proud Citizens of MMC.
And we do carry the Christmas torch with pride year round, don't we?

So it is with pride that I present the daily count numbers, to be followed immediately by the latest news of our next approching Milestone.

The numbers:
Days to the Season: 127
Days to Christmas Day: 169

Now, as to the next marker, let it be know that it is now just FIVE days up the road!
Yes, indeedy.
In 5 short days, we will enter the LAST third of our Season count!
(Now I ask you. Is that worth a "WOW", or not?!)

Pretty nice here yesterday with no rain but reduced humidity and manageable temperatures.
Today will see the thermometer start to climb agan, and we will likely be back in the 90's again by tomorrow.
Our reading is 63 degrees here at this hour.

Have a Marvelous Monday, my Friends.
And I hope you have a great week ahead!

WOW!

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

Thanks Crown! I'm not quite ready for the LAST 3rd yet!

All is well. The "Ber -s" are still 54 days away.
