Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Bradmac]

TGIF, Christmas friends!

It's a beautiful, sunny morning, and it's finally a little cooler! I think our highs are in the low 70's this weekend. Nice!

I have some extra work to get done this weekend, in conjunction with our county's annual Rattlesnake Roundup...excuse me...Wildlife and Rattlesnake Festival. PETA decided the roundup was being too mean to rattlesnakes, and threatened to sue, so now there are no exhibitions or venom milking demonstrations. Just pictures of nice rattlesnakes in their natural habitats. LOL The Roundup that I remember from my youth is now just a festival with craft vendors and fried Oreos. At least we can still have those...for now!

Lunch with mom and my brother today.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Oliver looks so kind and sweet. Glad his treatment is over and done.

He’s a good boy. We adopted him last year from our local shelter. He had been in various shelters for over a year. Can’t understand why no one wanted him. He’s such a sweetie.

Good morning MMC! TGIF! Merry Friday!!!

After a really nasty weather day yesterday, today we have nothing but blue skies with chilly wind & high of 43º predicted. It's nice to see the sunshine! It did snow for a bit last night, unfortunately it was after dark. I turned on the spotlight in the back yard to watch. Didn't last long.

I finished my afghan last night!! YAY!!!


Anyone have big plans for the weekend? I can't wait until noon...then I plan to chill at home & get a few things done. No plans tonight. Tomorrow late afternoon we are heading to Dayton to meet up with our lake friends & go out for supper - yep, Mexican again! I don't think we have any plans Sunday! Looking forward to it! After a weekend at moms (last weekend) I'm ready for some time at home!

Everyone, have a Fantastic Friday!!

Oh Holiday, thank you for sharing this. And yes Lucy looks like a wild child

Yes she is!!

Aw, Holiday, sending love and hugs. {{{HUGS}}}

Cuteness overload right there. Sending lots of love and hugs.

Aww....thinking of you Holiday...it is bittersweet. Gracie girl will always be in your heart.

Thanks everybody!! Wish I could have them both here! (can you imagine the trouble they would cause together???)

Thanks Crown! Hope you don't get too bad of a storm!

It's pretty gusty right now. Small branches down.
Sunny, though.

Good Friday morning! I awoke at roughly 4:15am, but then again I fell asleep at 8:30pm. I decided to just get up and get a workout in (I usually do it after work) and get the day rolling. I'm looking forward to the weekend off. Tomorrow morning we'll go out to breakfast for one of our friends' birthday and then we'll stream a movie or two, as they predict rain for most of Saturday. Sunday will be the usual grocery shopping and chores. Hope everyone enjoys a great Friday!

Enjoy your weekend off!!! Happy Friday!! Spoil that little Loki!

Morning MMC. TGIF on this Nor'easter day. We have heavy flooding rain and wind. We will see some snow later too. Just hope everyone stays safe and doesn't lose power. Have a good Friday and hope you are excited for the weekend ahead!

Sounds like you're having the weather today we had yesterday. I don't envy you!!! Blah!!!
But have a good Friday anyway!!!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Friday!
We’re expecting heavy rain and high winds today. Thankfully I don’t have too much planned. I’m just going to work on a menu plan and grocery list. I’ll run to the butcher at some point. Daily chores. Dinner will be baked raviolis and a Caesar salad. Hopefully I’ll get a nap in with my puppy. That’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
xx

Don't blow away!! Have fun with Rocky today!!! Have a nice day!!!

 

[Holiday]

TGIF!! Looks like a storm of rain, wind and turning to snow later. My daughter is supposed to have her final b-ball game tomorrow morning (yay!) but we'll see based on the snow we get...we are only supposed to get 1-3 inches but who knows?
I am working today and relaxing tonight...we don't have too many plans for the weekend. My oldest has a sweet 16 party tomorrow night and my youngest asked if I could bring her and her friend to a movie.
Hope you all have a great day!

Have a great weekend SFM!!! Hope your weather isn't too nasty!!! xx

Good Morning, Weekend Eve Revelers!
And the fact that we have reached the last day of the work week isn't the only thing to revel in.

There is also this tidbit of news:
Days to the Season: 256
Days to Christmas Day: 298

Well Folks, the 300-Day Christmas Day Window is now in the rear-view mirror.
Which, of course, means we need to turn out sights toward the next Milestone marker, the 4th one on our list.
Let's check.
Well, what do you know?
It just can't be......yet it IS.
On March 15, just 13 days from today's date, we will be 1/3 of the way to Christmas Season 2018. Just let that sink in a bit -- ONE THIRD!
And in less than two weeks, too. Nearly down to SINGLE DIGITS, already!
(Wow!!)

Our rainy and somewhat chilly weather continued yesterday.
Today is supposed to be clear but very windy, as we experience the fringes of that major system moving into the NE. The wind could continue tomorrow, as well.
Currently, we are at 46 degrees here in central North Carolina and have already had some significant wind gusts. (I'll have branches to pick up after this is over!)

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
I hope your Weekend starts nicely this afternoon!

Thanks crown!!! Hope you have a good weekend!!!

Happy Friday, everyone!

It's a wild, wet, windy day here. I was wishing I didn't have to head out to work, but at least the traffic was light. It would have been a great day to stay home, hunker down, and do cozy things.

That's exactly how I felt yesterday - just wanted to be cozy it home. I hope your day at work goes well & you're cozy at home before you know it!!

Oh geez ~ well, I hope you enjoy your festival & fried Oreos this weekend! Is there such a thing as a "nice rattlesnake??" LOL! (snakes freak me out!!!!)
Enjoy lunch with mama & Jim!!!
Have a good weekend Brad!

I'm so happy you saved Oliver. ♥ Who wouldn't want that handsome guy? I would take him in a heart beat!! Give him a hug from me & Lucy Lu!

Thanks! I hope we have power when I get there!
We should be okay because we're not along the coast, but some good gusts of wind could bring down trees and power lines.
