Good Morning, Home Stretchers!
That's where we are in case you missed it yesterday.
The final, home stretch to Christmas Season 2018, now that we have passed the ninety percent point.
The numbers keep declining before our very eyes.
They are starting to dwindle down into a.......well, you know.
Days to Halloween: 23 (Three weeks from the day after tomorrow!)
Days to the Season: 36 (Five weeks from tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 78 (Eleven weeks from tomorrow!)
As for Milestones.
Well.
The pure and simple fact is, there are none left now between us and the start of the Season on Nov 13!
The humidity just has not quite left us yet, and it still felt like summer yesterday.
Today shows a high in the mid 80's with a 20 percent chance of precipitation and we begin this new week at 72 degrees, here.
Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown! Happy Columbus Day!
Sounds amazing! I wanna come to your house! Xoxo
Congratulations to your daughter!!Hello all
Well, back for another season at this merry site. I can't help it, as soon as the weather gets chilly, and here in upper Michigan it's already chilly, and you can feel just a hint of The Season in the air, well it just makes sense to come back to this site!
I don't post a whole lot, but I really do like reading all of your posts. You truly are Christmas brothers and sisters-in-arms. We get each other, and we don't even know each other, how awesome is that??
Speaking of awesome, my daughter is due Nov 7, so this Christmas will be my first as a grandfather!
Can't wait!
(wasn't it just a few Christmases ago that I was but a mere child who became infatuated with this wonderful season we call Christmas??? Where DOES the time go??)
Have a great Sunday, all.
Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!
I had a busy, HOT weekend. Our church's fundraiser Boston-butt sale was Saturday, and I had to pickup and delivery several of those. Then I went to pickup a desk that my mom bought for Jacob. Then Nancy and I spent the afternoon painting the columns and trim on the front porch. It got so hot, we jumped in the pool in our clothes, them went back to painting in wet clothes. That really helped!
Yesterday was Homecoming at our church. It was a packed service and a packed dinner in the social hall later. I did a little more work yesterday afternoon, then we went to dinner with Nancy's family. I just want a few hours of nothing much to do!
I'm supposed to play in a golf tournament in Alabama later this week, but the coming tropical-storm-soon-to-be-hurricane Michael is changing those plans for me. Doggone it! Our local news said to expect rain, high winds and power outages on Thursday. We'll see.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Columbus Day to all of us here in the states and Happy Thanksgiving to our friends to the north!!!! Nothing to wild going on here. Just a few errands to run. I hope everyone has a great day!
Happy Monday! I took today off so I am just having coffee and relaxing. We don’t have too many plans today. I am hoping to run out a get some mums and pumpkins. I also have to run to the grocery store later. Hope you all have a great day!
Good morning MMC! And Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!! I hope you all enjoy the day to the fullest!!
It was a nice (and warm) weekend here. We didn't do much all weekend. I stayed at the lake Friday night - there weren't many people up, but our neighbors came to visit. Jim went to our high school football game. I had to be at moms by 6:45 Sat. morning. Stayed with her until about 1pm. Went back to the lake to watch the Buckeyes. We had fun with friends...then a storm rolled in. Thank goodness we weren't on our pontoon...but our friends were. They got stuck in it & Jim had to go rescue them. He said they were drenched!! Yesterday we watched the Browns & the Bengals. That's about it.
Oh - @nmc42088 I received "Winter Street" in the mail on Friday. I started it yesterday. I'm on page 40 something & it's been good so far!! Thanks for the recommendation!
It's supposed to be hot & muggy again today. High of 86. Looks like a cool down coming on Thursday with a high of only 59! Then we start with lows in the 30's. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Everyone, have a great day!!

Lucky you!!
The last time I was on a pontoon, we rented one on a lake in the NC mountains. We were in the middle of this huge lake, when a storm surprised us from behind the mountains. It started flooding, then hailing! There ain't no getting away from that! LOLGood morning MMC! And Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!! I hope you all enjoy the day to the fullest!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
It's an office holiday for Columbus Day here, so we're both home working on our own projects. Love a holiday Monday!

I agree, Hailey. Nothing beats "festive busy." The best part is that everything will get more festive as time goes on!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sounds like a great tradition!!
Sounds like a fun, fall, Christmassy day!!
None? At least there are some hidden milestones in there. One month to go, two weeks, November 1st? Of course, we won't be counting down to those dates, but it will be very nice to see them pass-by!
My hubby use to snowmobile in the U.P. & other areas of Michigan, but usually later/early in the year. Crazy to think there is talk of snow!!!Not unusual to have snow this early in the U.P. or even in upper lower Michigan.
Down here in mid-Michigan there is talk of snow before Halloween.
