We got back from the shore around 10 last night and I was totally unpacked by 11. I like to unpack as soon as we get home so I can let Mikes grandma know if we left anything behind. Our last day was just spent relaxing and just hanging out. This morning I have work and then after work we have a first birthday party for a former coworkers son.
Happy Sunday everyone. It's the first 'bers weekend and dare I say it, it feels a bit like autumn.
Good Morning Everyone! Happy Labor Day Eve! Labor Day Eve? Wow. We have come so far as we are now into the 2nd day of the Bers. Aren't these 4 months just the most special time of year? And it's ONLY begun. But the countdown? It's far from the beginning now. Let's take a look at the numbers as our great leader Crown is away for today.
Days to the Season: 72
Days to Christmas Day: 114
Now you don't need to be a math person to realize we are sitting at an even 2 weeks (that would be 14 days) until the 100 day marker to Christmas Day. Just amazing! And tomorrow Minta will fill in for Crown on Labor Day. Hope you all enjoy your day and have a Super Sunday!

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Sunday!
Not too much going on here today, it will just be a day spent relaxing with my family. My oldest and youngest are both coming over. The girls and I will be going over the details of my oldest daughters bridal shower. We will be ordering the invitations as well, I have to get them in the mail soon. Eek, I wish time would slow down!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

There are so many steps to think of when planning a wedding and everything has to get done months in advance too. Enjoy your day with your daughters HMG.
Good Sunday morning! The sun is out, it is simply gorgeous out there. But rain and humidity will be moving in later today. I got in a wonderful long walk this morning and after breakfast we’ll go grocery shopping, hopefully before it rains. Then we’ll take care of a few chores around the appartment and this afternoon we’ll just relax and watch some shows or movies. Have a great day everyone!
Good morning all,
Little League Football game today 2:00. I am coaching Henry's team for those who did not know. We lost last week, but the kids tried hard to the end. I wish it was going to be cooler today, but the heat and humidity are going to be high.
I think we are going to see The Meg this evening. It is a movie about a prehistoric shark, the Megalodon, that still lives today. Basically, a Jaws like movie. Should be fun, but I am not expecting much out of the story.
Well, that is my day. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Thank you! A lot goes in to it for sure and the time is getting away from us but I know it will all come together and be a beautiful day. We’re super excited
I hope you have a wonderful day Martine!

I had to chuckle a bit when I read this ... You know you are from Jersey when you refer to the beach as the Shore
Hope you had a good time there.
Good morning .. finally got all the back to school shopping done yesterday and picked up a couple christmas gifts too today is being spent on filling up the freezer and pantry. Got a batch of red peppers going in the dehydrator, going to put a pork roast in the oven soon so I can bag up batches of pulled pork for the freezer and I have a bushel of fresh corn that I am going blanch, bag up and freeze for the winter and the holidays. Hope everyone has a great day.

Thank you! We spend our vacations in Seaside. It's amazing to see the transformation from Sandy and the fire. It was very relaxing. Now we are trying to get Carolina in the swing of going back to school.
We had a great time at the birthday party today. Carolina seems to be tired so she should get a good night's sleep. I am off tomorrow, so we will spend the day out and about. I have a barnes and noble coupon so I need to get Carolina a few more Junie B. Jones books to read. I am going to spend my night reading. Have a great night everyone
Hello all
Henry's team won the football game. We won 13-6. The whole team played well, and Henry scored our 1 point conversion on one of the touchdowns, and made some really important tackles on defense.
The Meg was a decent movie, nothing special but decent. It will not go down as a classic like the original Jaws.

Merry Monday. Almost time to get back into the swing of things. Take the FIL out for lunch as it's his birthday. Have a few people coming over for a supper meeting because a holiday Monday was the only time the schedules would be open. So, the day will be spent scurrying around, cleaning, cooking, and enjoying company.
I've already transitioned into fall prep. Yesterday was cranberry pot roast dinner, and I've picked up some canned pumpkin. I'll make a pumpkin dessert for tonight. I just haven't figured out which yet. It'll come to me.
The pot roast is super simple too. In your slow cooker, sprinkle the bottom with a package of dry onion soup mix. Place your roast on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then spread a can of cranberry sauce over the roast. I used whole cranberry sauce, but either will work. Add about 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours, or low for 8. Once done, remove the roast to rest. Dissolve one tablespoon of cornstarch in water and add that to the roast drippings. Stir and continue cooking until thickened. Slice the roast and serve with the sauce. Heavenly and delicious.
