It is awesome that all of you were able to give your dad such a lovely birthday. Keeping all of you in my prayers, sugarmuffin25. xx

Thank You! That means so much!

So, what do we think about this new Netflix movie?



I love Kurt Russell! Looking forward to it!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

We weathered the storm with a bit of roof damage, more tree limbs down and a messy yard, but we only lost power for less than an hour. I fell asleep about 11pm and was awakened at 3am by the sound of a limb falling on the roof. About that time the power went out, but before I could distribute candles around the house, it came back on. It's still very windy, but the sun is starting to peek out.

I've mentioned before that I operate a part-time sign rental business...well, I'm pretty much out of business now. The wind destroyed half of my signs. But truthfully, I started that business several years ago to offset the cost of sending the kids to the local Christian school. Jacob has already graduated and Elizabeth will in a few months, so the signs served their purpose. My back is getting too old to do all that lifting, anyway. Still, I have to clean up the mess they left behind. LOL

I appreciate all the prayers and well-wishes! Hopefully, those of you farther north won't have as much wind to contend with. Still praying for those in Florida whose lives were upended yesterday.

The plant is closed today, so it's time to start cleaning up the yard. I hope y'all have a great day!

I’m so sorry to hear about the roof damage and signs Brad. I’m so glad you and your family stayed safe!

Good afternoon friends!! Finally have a chance to check in!! MUCH cooler today!! We have sunshine, but holy wind! Currently it's 55º!

I worked the new job this morning, old job this afternoon & I'll be here at the old job tomorrow & Monday. Boss #1 is on vacation - woot woot!

I hope you are all having a fabulous Friday Eve!!!

Good afternoon ... Well we have been dealing with and cleaning up from an infestation of indian meal moths in the garage. They got into the extra cat food and dog biscuits that we kept in the garage. We have been at this since Sunday and have filled out 6 black yard trash bags full of stuff that we threw out. It has been a nightmare but we are defiantly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The bright side is that the garage will be cleaned.

I still don't have all my halloween/fall decorations up yet, maybe by this weekend. Well I am going to go get caught up on the boards.

Oh gosh! Sorry you have been going through that. Doesn't sound like much fun!! I guess that's one way to get your garage cleaned up! UGH!
Hope you're having a good day!

The audio is on order through our county library and I'm #18 on the waiting list. No worries, though. I have several other Christmas books to catch up on this season.

Always love to hear about Christmas books ya'll are reading!! (although you may already have that posted on the "what book are you reading" thread!)
Hope it doesn't take too long to get the new book!

 

[Holiday]

I just ordered the first of her Christmas books for some reason...I never read them.

You will have to let us know what you think! I am almost done with #1 & I have #2 (Winter Stroll) on order!

 

[Holiday]

ok, I'm heading home. Y'all stay safe!

I hope you are safe 'n sound!!! xx

 

[Holiday]

Merry Wednesday, Holiday!

So glad the fields are done!

xx

I misunderstood...Jims family farm is done, but they are still working on his cousins farm. (they are neighbors) He was excited to crawl back in the combine today!! Only had 40 acres to go!

Merry Thursday!!!

Morning MMC! Hope you all in the path of the storm stay safe. This might be our last really warm day for a while. It's still got that warm/humid feeling that you get in the summer in the mornings. But this looks to be coming to an end as that storm passes to our south and pushes a front through. A 20-30 degree drop in temps is going to be a real wake up call. But that will make it feel like it's almost Halloween. Have a great day!

I can tell ya - it's a wake up call!! I'll send it to ya tomorrow! Hope you are having a great day!!

Good morning MMC ~
Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected by Hurricane Michael, I hope Bradmac is able to check in.
We’re expecting showers and storms later today with temperatures in the 70’s. Not too much going on. I’m just going to make a Target run this morning then head back home afterward to work on my daily chores. Dinner will be fried chicken and baked macaroni & cheese and a salad to be healthy lol. That’s about it for me. Hope everyone is well, have a nice day!
xx

Hope your storms aren't too bad & I hope you're having a wonderful day!!! Hugs to Rocky & all the kitties he puts up with!! ♥ (I can never remember all their names...)

 

[Holiday]

Happy Friday Eve!!
Hope everyone is safe from Michael. Typical work day for me and catching up on laundry tonight. We are supposed to get heavy rain tonight so I am thinking my daughter's softball practice will be canceled. We are having tacos for dinner. Hope you all have a great day!!

Hope you stay dry & that your day is going well!! xx

A Stormy Good Morning, Guys!

Tropical Storm Michael will be arriving here in central NC by this afternoon.
Rain with tropical storm force winds are predicted.
Shouldn't be a major problem (at least as compared to Florence) but it will be a less than pleasant day to say the least.

But this is pleasant, regardless of our weather:
Days to Halloween: 20 (UNDER 3 weeks remain!)
Days to the Season: 33 (ONE MONTH from the day after tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 75 (Nearing the 10 1/2 week mark!)
(The holiday countdown clock just keeps ticking.)

We are reconciled to a rainy and gusty day today, as a much-weakened Michael pays us an unwelcomed visit by afternoon.
It will be through quickly though, and tomorrow's forecast is for sunny weather with highs in the low 70's.
(Sounds wonderful!)
Currently, we are at 75 degrees here, with overcast skies but no wind or rain.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends.
(Although I hope ours is not TOO thrilling!)

Hope the tropical storm isn't too bad!!! Prayers!!!

Good Thursday morning! Rain and more rain today. I woke up around 4:30am feeling nauseous for some reason, so after a while I went back to bed to try and settle my stomach. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift so I'm just taking it easy right now. If it weren't for the fact that I'm closing alone, I think I would rather call in sick and stay home. Hopefully I'll feel better by the time I leave for work. Hope everyone will have a good day.

I hope you are feeling much better by now!!! xx

Morning beautiful people! Started digging back out my Christmas cd's to get my annual mixes ready. I haven't had much time of late and it felt so good to listen to all of the new songs I've been hording in iTunes. Hope you all have a great day!

Hope you are having a great day too ~ enjoy the music!!

I'm not a fan of movies that don't have Santa in his traditional sleigh, but it looks magical & fun!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
