Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Thinking of you Auntie...my Mom has been gone 6 years. Sounds like you have a good way to remember your Mom next week. It is strange how it becomes a new normal after you lose a loved one.

(((HUGS))) to you too! ♥

Speaking of underwhelming. Has Jayish been around ?? Ya baby!

Pay the pun tax! That's a good one! (Groucho did it first, though, in "Horse Feathers.")

Is the Pun Tax a Sin Tax for roughing the syntax?

Good morning friends! Yesterday, the wife and spent most of the day up and around the area to where our home we purchased is. Just a little over a month away and we will be moving in. We met a contractor up there to get a quote to have central air installed. Afterwards, we explored the area up there, checking out places to eat and such.

Today, our landlord here, has perspective tenants that are interested in seeing the apartment, so we have to get the place ready for 4 hours of walk thru’s starting at 1 this afternoon.

Looking at the weather, for around here, it’s supposed to start raining around that time and then continue for the next 12 hours; yuck!

Hope everyone has a nice day today.

Exciting times!!!

 

[Holiday]

My prayers are with you and your mom, Holiday! {{{HUGS}}}

Thank you Meceka!! Much appreciated!

Morning MMC! That new week smell has come upon us. I'm off Friday as we are taking my mom out for Mother's Day. 4 Day work weeks are cool and 3 day weekends are even cooler. Lots of those in the next few months. Anyway, enjoy your Monday! We have beautiful weather this week. Gotta enjoy it!

Enjoy your short work week!!!

Merry Monday MMC ~
It’s going to be sunny here today with a high of 72 degrees. I’m just having my coffee and playing with Rocky. I’m going to take him out in a little bit for a walk, he’s doing much better on his harness & leash. Not too much going on here today, just a typical day. I’m going shopping later this afternoon for a Mothers Day gift for my mom. Other than that I’ll be working on the laundry. Dinner will be Minestrone soup with tortellini. That’s about it for me. Hope everyone is well. Have a nice day!

Hope you (and Rocky) are having a great day HMG!!!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

Nancy and Elizabeth spent the whole weekend getting pictures made with her dance group, on both Saturday and Sunday. Jacob had another date with his new girlfriend, and I mostly worked LOL.

I helped Jim install wheelchair ramps at his home. His wife is coming home from the hospital on Thursday! She's been in physical therapy, learning how to move from a wheelchair to the bed, car, etc. by herself, and other things to take care of herself. She's still forbidden from putting weight on her hip for many more months, but at least she can do some things for herself.

First real staff meeting with our new manager in 30 minutes. I hope y'all have a great day!

What great news!!! I hope everything goes well for your SIL & Jim!!! xx

That is such amazing news about Jim’s wife going home on Thursday! Such courage and strength through that whole ordeal.

How did the class go? He's just so little it's "funny" to think of him being in class!!

I think Rocky gets away with a lot in school because he’s so little! The class went pretty well, three more to go and he graduates lol.

Not too bad for a Monday. We are approaching the busiest time of the year. It kicks off tomorrow night. I will be gone from home 7 of the next 10 school nights. Two of those other nights, we have tee ball games. After that, there will be a big slow down and I can't wait!

Morning MMC! Reading Coach post just made me realize how close it's getting to the end of the school year yet it seems like the school year just started! We have a beautiful day here about 72 and sunshine. You can't get much better than that. I found a tick on Rollins last night but now I don't see it. I guess it might have fallen off him. I have to keep an eye on him. He did get one last year and was ok afterwards. I give him his tick medicine monthly but I guess like anything else nothing is 100%. Have a great Tuesday!

Ticks.... ever since I moved up here to Connecticut from Maryland, everyone is been telling me how bad the deer ticks are up here. It’s been concerning me because I like to be outside. I’m the kind of fella that likes to be in the woods, pruning, trimming, clearing brush, having a garden and such. I’m worried about me, but also having something get on me, and I accidentally take it in the house on my clothes and then it jumps on our house kitties.

Other than spraying myself with deet, weating long pants, I don’t know what else to do. I heard a couple of old wives tales about either eating a clove of raw garlic or drinking a glass of buttermilk every day will change your bodies chemistry and they won’t like it; but I don’t hold much stock in those things.

Anybody know of any other ideas?

Good Morning, my Friends.

Proceeding boldy we are, right on into another week and racing headlong toward a truly major Milestone marker!

The data for the day:
Days to the Season: 189
Days to Christmas Day: 231

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.
Yes, it truly is true. In exactly seven days, we will be exactly HALF way back to our treasured Christmas Season.
(We have come so far so fast this year. It's just racing past!)

A bit cooler yesterday but still fantastic for early May. Lots of sun, gentle breezes and most importantly, no humidity issues yet.
Truly the best of times, weather wise!
Right now, we perceive 59.1degrees on our digital back door thermometer.

Have a Totally Terrific Tuesday, All!

Morning .. I am off from work today but I have several things to do this morning and this afternoon. I think I will be busier then if I had gone to work LOL. I ordered 2 Christmas gifts Sunday night and picked up another from bath and body works yesterday after work. I think we may to check out Toys R US later this week to see if we can find a good deal on laser tag, that's something my sone recently said he wanted. Hope everyone has a great day!
