Christmas Countdown - 2018

[xmastidings]

I haven’t seen anyone volunteer. @xmastidings are you still interested?

Ummmm, I could, I suppose, this is so at the 11th hour, and I am not prepared. Oh geezers, I am going to have to pull off a miracle to pull this off, but I will give it a shot.

What time does it require to be posted by for tomorrow mornings special post?

 

[xmastidings]

@Crown 84 - I have a post ready to go, if thats okay!

Sugar, if your all set, then it's all yours. I will bow out to your good timing, your good grace and thoughtfulness my friend. Thank you!

Ohhhh, that does not look good! That will be one unhappy puppy doggy, after that tongue is stuck....

TGIF, Christmas friends!

I'm so glad to be home! We played the golf tournament in Alabama yesterday...in the rain..., so I was covered in mud and soaking wet in khakis all day. Yuck! Still, seeing Bellville at 9:30 that evening made it all better.

Tomorrow, we're taking Elizabeth for senior pictures (how can that be?!?), and it's going to be an all-day affair. They don't just do the formal picture at school anymore. Now you have to have "environmental" pictures in different areas with several wardrobe changes. Ugh.

That does not sound like fun, at all! Glad you made back all safe and sound.

Seriously? Oh man, have fun on picture day!

Anyway, I'm back, baby!!View attachment 51663

I hope y'all have a great day!

Thanks! This is my normal weekend to work, but have someone working for me tomorrow - we already had plans for tomorrow night ,/9 this works our perfect to be bringing her home tomorrow, since I already had off. DH will be home to help, so hopefully I can sleep some during the day!

How exciting! I'm so happy for you and your family. She's a sweet, adorable looking little puppy!

It’s snowing!!!

That's great! I was wondering who was getting some.

I was looking at a weather post from Justin Berk (Justinweather.com), and I saw that WV, MD, PA, NY, and New England was going to see some snow out of this one, but especially, out of the one that is predicted for the Nor'easter on next Tuesday.

I think it will be more prominent in the western, Northern parts of each state and in the Appalachians . Along the coast line and middle parts of the states, just a lot of cold rain! The National Weather Service has already posted a flood warning on the for my general zip code area. I'll be ok though, I'm too high up. I think my elevation is like 320+ feet above sea level.

Of course, Sugar. Thanks for stepping in after Snowflake's sad news.

Special Post Day 4:
and the Choir Keeps Singing of Christmas



fAITHFUL FEW WHO YEAR LONG GATHER BOUND

JOYOUS TOGETHER, COMMON SHARED GROUND

SHUT OUT THE ANGRY WORLD WHICH EXISTS ALL AROUND

TO ALLOW THE CHOIR TO KEEP SINGING OF CHRISTMAS



JOINED ACORSS THE MILES, CONTINENTS AWAY

IGNORING CYNICS WHO SCOUFF AT A SHARED LOVE REFUSED AT BAY

WE REJECT A WORLD SURELY GONE MAD, AND ENJOY THE DAY

OF A CHOIR THAT KEEPS SINGING OF CHRISTMAS



UNITED IN HEARTBREAK, CELEBRATION AND JOY

SHARED REMEMBERANCES OF CHILDHOOD, A SPECIAL GIFT OR TOY

WE COME TOGETHER HERE YEARLY IN SPIRT TO EMPLOY

VISIONS OF A CHOIR THAT KEEPS SINGING OF CHRISTMAS



PERHAPS ITS NOT REALLY DEFINED BY THE COMMERICAL GIANT

NOR THOSE WHO ONCE A YEAR SEEK FORGIVENESS AS SUPPLIANT

WE THE KINDNESS TORCH BEARERS, THE PEACEFUL CLIENT

ARE THE CHOIR THAT KEEPS SINGING OF CHRISTMAS



and so it has come to this

Four Days Until The Season

Bravo, Binger! ♥ ♥ ♥

Good Morning MMC !

off to London this am, have to be there by 8:30 for LitleCS's specialist appointment. Also going to be driving into some snow fall, mixed with rain, so that should make the drive lots of fun !

Hope you all have a great Friday !!!

Praying LittleCS's appointment goes well and for safe travels for you both!

 

[xmastidings]

Happy Friday Eve!! Looks like another nice day today before the cold hits next week. Typical work day for me and I need to catch up on laundry tonight.
We got some bad news last night that my aunt passed away...she had dementia and diabetes. Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide a special post this weekend as I will be out of state for the funeral on Saturday. If anyone would like to take it over please feel free..let me know and I will let Crown know as well. Hope you all have a great weekend!

I'm so sorry to hear about that SFM. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. Please have a safe trip.

She is gorgeous - love her paws!! We are so spoiled with a non-shedder. That's our biggest hold back - my hubby is not a fan of another dog that sheds, at all! (after Buster passed, he said - no more shedding dogs!) I have to admit - it is pretty nice! But I can't let her be sent back to the pound! We'll see! What's meant to be, will be...

No, you can't let her be sent back to the pound. Praying she finds the perfect home!! xx

*WARNING* It's addicting!!!

Well, that will be a most interesting site to visit!

Stay warm, safe & dry!

You bet! I hope you get to watch it snow later!!
Woke up to a dusting of snow on the trees and ground, and since then it has rained, snowed, rain-snowed (or is that snow-rained?), and now nothing. Tomorrow will be sun, so whatever might fall later won't be around long.
Have a merry weekend!!
xx

Merry Friday!

Working on paperwork and then making lists of what I want to put in the store next week. This weekend is the big Giving Thanks sale and after a lot of other vendors will be putting out their Christmas stuff. Fun!!

Have a safe and merry weekend!

Glad to hear - stay safe - hopefully you won’t get affected very much! It’s really raining here now too and is to continue as the day goes on.

We had a bit of snow this morning- just a light dusting. But we are kind unofficially sliding into Christmas celebrating as my wife, kids and I are all going to see the new Grinch movie tonight, which we are all excited about.

Let me know how it is! I want to take my kids on my next couple of days off. Enjoy the movie and the time with your family!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it... I love most Christmasy movies. One of my sons said, "I'm sure it won't be as good as the Jim Carrey version, but that's ok." Which is weird because usually people say that about the old cartoon Grinch from the 60s... I think they've only seen that version once or twice. But we all love the Jim Carrey version too. (I know - a controversial position!) We just love Christmas movies!
