Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Good morning MMC!! Happy Friday!! TGIF! It's another dark/spitty rain/cold kind of day!! What a few yucky weather days we've been having!! Yesterday took the cake though. YUCK!!!

Just work for me this morning at the old job, then I have to be at moms from 3 until 8. I'm pretty nervous about this, as it's my 1st time there by myself after all these changes/her decline!!

I'll be with mom until 1pm tomorrow, then I'm heading to the lake to watch the Bucks with some of the neighbors - other than that, no major plans!

Everyone, have a GREAT Friday!!!

Happy November, Holiday!!
Have a great weekend...we are getting rain tomorrow, it is supposed to be a washout!!

I hope you don't have as yucky of a day as we did yesterday!!! Today is only better b/c it's not pouring, but it's still damp, dark & windy!!

Me neither! I wish they set it (one way or the other) and just leave the darn thing alone.

I LOVE it in the spring....dislike in the fall!!!!

And it begins!

Nothing but Hallmark Christmas Music in my Durango now!!

Merry November!

Gloomy day out, but no rain as of yet. My allergies have been very bothersome the past few weeks and today is no different as I have a sore and scratchy throat. Off to make a cup of tea with lemon and ginger.

I did the quick scan of the Countdown, but wanted all of you to know you and your families are in my prayers!

Have a blessed day!!

Hope you are feeling better quick!!! xx Merry Friday M!

Hello all! Now that Halloween has passed and everyone has gorged themselves on candy, I would like to let you know that Canada Post has their new Christmas stamps available. The theme this year is warm and cozy and they look adorable.

The stockings are for Canadian address, the toque for American, and the mitts for international address. Perfect for the upcoming card exchange don't you think. They can be purchased at any Canada Post location or online at www.canadapost.ca

I love seeing the new designs each year. Enjoy.

Super cute!!! ♥

We're only 6 days in to the Hallmark movies and they are already repeating. I mean come on. They have hundreds of movies from over the years. Why are we already seeing repeats.

I ask that question every year...

Good evening! Kids got home this afternoon with their report card. Both got straight A’s again. They make me so proud! I head to work here at 7, work 12 hours, then I’m off for 4 days. I’m really looking forward to the weekend!

A sad day here in my area - a 7 yo boy was involved in a hit and run while he was waiting for the school bus this am. The bus driver found him at pick-up, fatally injured. The incident that happened the other day in Indiana made me sick, but I have no words for this, considering the person just kept driving and that it is so close. Hold your kids, grandkids, pets, whomever close and give them lots of love! You never just know. May God be with his family and the first responders.

I’ll talk to you all later. Enjoy your evening!

Oh gosh. That's horrible. Prayers to all!

I worked today and Carolina played with the neighbor out back. At work we started to put out Christmas. Because of the Halloween Clearance we only have room for candy so far.
Mike has to work overtime tonight and tomorrow night so it will be quiet nights of Hallmark movies and bed early if I want to.
Tomorrow I am off and it sis supposed to rain. Carolina will probably play with all her toys and I will catch up on laundry. The last batch I forgot in the dryer for 2 days so my mom helped me out and folded it for me. Have a great night everyone!

Enjoy your day off!

Morning MMC! Happy Friday and TGIF! Hope you all have a good week. It's been another busy one here. Looking forward to a mostly relaxing weekend (although side note: I've been taking work home the last several weekends to catch up on things). Other than that, we have some rain coming in today and it should hopefully end Saturday morning. Seems like we've had a lot of rainy Saturday mornings this year. Have a great day!

Hope you don't have too much work to do at home this weekend. Have a great one!

Merry Friday!
It’s going to be cloudy today with a chance of showers. I’m feeling pretty lousy from this cold but thankfully I don’t have too much going on. I’m going to pick up a couple of things at Rite Aid and then I should be able to take it easy. I just have to do a load of laundry and I’m making Bow Tie Lasagna for dinner.
I hope everyone has a nice day and a great weekend ahead!!!
xx

Hope you feel better quick & enjoy your weekend!!

Happy Friday all. The rain continues today and I think it will be going on for at least another day. Finished some baking for an Arts and Crafts show on the weekend. I made some chocolate zucchini loaf, chocolate chip pumpkin loaf, regular pumpkin loaf, and some M&M brownies. If I have time I'll make something else tonight. Then fruit salad for 100 for Sunday for a church function.

The church had a little water damage recently and the insurance people finally showed up to repair the damage done in the kitchen. Unfortunately, when they took up the floor, they found black mold. So, that needs to be taken care of. Not to worry though, everyone's safe and it just pushed the timeline back a few days. Everything else will be moved to the hall instead.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Bet your house smells amazing.
Have a great weekend!

Good Morning, Season Chasers!

And the chase is really starting to draw to a close now, as the latest data release confirms.
Let's look at it:
Days to the Season: 11 (SINGLE DIGITS from the day after tomorrow!!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 20 ( Now UNDER three weeks!)
Days to Christmas Day: 53 (Barely over 7 1/2 weeks left!)

And what else is getting real close?
Well, the start of our Special Post series, which will begin in just SIX days.
This is something you do not want to miss, Folks. Always lots of fun.
And we still have a couple of spots open for those who have a Christmas Season message they would like to share.

Nice and pleasantly warm here yesterday with no rain until late evening.
Today will be warm again, with a much greater chance of precipitation.
In fact, it is quite overcast as I type this.
We show 66 drippy degrees on our back yard thermometer.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!
Enjoy your Weekend Eve

Have a great weekend crown!

TGIF...merry Friday!! Looks like we are going to have rain today and tomm morning. Not too many plans for the weekend. My daughter has basketball practice tonight and my oldest daughter and I are headed back to Apple tonight. We were just there on Monday, they fixed it and now the phone is having the same issue, it can only connect to Wifi and no data. I guess it is a know problem with the iphone 7. Hope you all have a great day!!

Hope the problem is an easy fix! xx Have a great weekend!
