Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Iteachpercussion]

Good morning all!

It is a rainy, cloudy, but cooler day today. Not too much going on. Moving some furniture a bit and Henry is having a friend over.

I need to spend some time writing and editing today.

All take care.

Good Morning, Fellow Citizens of the greatest site on the net.

And speaking of great, we have made great progress towards Christmas 2018 and it's fantastic Season, as today's data will demonstrate.

First, the count:
Days to the Season: 145
Days to Christmas Day: 187

And is it possible that we are now only FIVE days away from being HALF WAY back to Christmas?
(Yep. A quick check of the Countdown chart confirms it!)

No relief from the heat, yet. Can't wait to see this month's power bill.
(Actually, I can.) We have been in the 90's for several days now, with triple-digit heat index values. We could use a little relief, Mother Nature!
Currently, we record 75 degrees here, headed once again for the 90's.
(If we're lucky, perhaps we can get just a little relief by the weekend.)

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone!

Hope your power bill is less than expected! Stay cool & have a wonderful day!!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

VBS ended with a bang last night, and I think all the kids had a great time. Nancy always volunteers the two of us for outdoor games, and it's been so hot that I'm glad it's over. That's terrible of me! LOL

When we got home last night, I jumped in the pool and just floated till 10pm. I was pretty wrinkled when I finally went in the house.

I have a work trip to Orlando next week, and everyone in my house is so busy, no one can go with me. That's such a shame!

The week after that, we're all going to the mountains. Yippee!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Nice to have the mountains to look forward too with the family!! Hope your trip to Orlando goes well! Have a good Thursday!

Good Morning/Afternoon christmas friends..Hope everyone is having a merry day so far...Well the gales have returned here Brrrrrrr...So no gardening today well i am not complaining lol...Still plenty to do around the house..Lobby to paint yet any takers...Well gonna relax on the sofa and watch a christmas movie...Enjoy your day ahead christmas friends

Alright pal...what movie are you watching tonight? The Christmas Card? ENJOY!!! (I'm jealous!) It's cooler here today too - only supposed to have a high of 73º! Everyone was saying last night how we are going to need jeans at night at the festival this weekend. Crazy weather!

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday Eve! YAY!! We have a really dreary day going on outside! 100% chance of rain! As dry as it was here ~ why does all this rain have to come during festival week?? LOL! Last year they had to shut down the lower end of the festival b/c of rain on Friday, 3 years ago they completely canceled Friday b/c of rain & the rest of the weekend you needed boots! Crazy weather. It rained a couple times yesterday & when it rains, it's a major downpour!! I guess we'll see what the weekend brings! We'll have fun no matter what!

Due to the rain we had less people at the pre-fest party last night but we still had a nice time. A couple friends are in different clubs that had to help set up at the fest, which was all pushed back b/c of the rain. They were up there late. Another friend was stuck in a downpour at the fest - she was running to get out of it & tore her hamstring, so she ended up at the ER. Crazy night! We started the night with a big fan blowing on us to keep cool & ended the night with a heater going!

Just work for me today. Neighbors are supposed to have the next pre-fest party tonight but if it's raining, it's going to be at our house again under the tent. Hubby got a call that he has today off work again, so he's off until Tuesday! Lucky duck!! I needed to make a bigger honey do list!

Everyone, have a GREAT day!!!!

Boo! I hope the rain stays away. Hope your friend is doing okay too!

Last bit of packing and tidying before we leave for a couple of weeks. Postings will be scarce but I may have time to quickly leave a message or two when I get to my sister's place. Wifi, woohoo! Going to take my plants in and give them a good drink because they won't be getting anything for a while.

I'll miss the midway point countdown, but I look forward to reading all your notes when I get back. Happy Canada Day and July Fourth to all the North American MMC members.

Have a GREAT time!!!! Safe travels!!!

Happy Friday Eve!!
Work for me today and tonight my friend is having a graduation party for her son that is graduating from high school tomorrow. So we are going to that for a few hours. Tomorrow afternoon my oldest daughter and I are leaving for Charlotte, NC to go to my niece's graduation party. We are coming back on Monday. It will be fun to see them all! Hope you all have a great day!

Have fun at both of the parties! Have a safe trip!

Have a great day, Edge!!
Does Rollins like the water?
Leo has a kiddie pool that I fill up in the summer, he will sometimes go in but he LOVES the hose! lol

Lucy has a little pool too. I need to get that out again. I had it out last year, but she was such a little pup she didn't have much interest in it!

Have a blast today & tonight! Hope you are able to catch up on sleep!!

Thank you! You as well! I feel like a horrible person saying so, but I’ve been working night shift for 13 years, so sometimes I think I sleep better too when I sleep alone. I don’t hear the snoring, don’t have someone moving around in bed, but during the day, I have the normal noise that I’m used to. Unless I’m super exhausted, it sometimes so hard to sleep at night.

Thanks sugar! I'm going to the lake to get my rain boots. Maybe that will keep the rain away!!
I texted my friend this morning but haven't heard back from her!

It sounds like an eventful festival...just not the kind of eventful you were hoping for! I hope your friend recovers quickly, and I hope the rain holds back tonight.

I could totally understand that. And it doesn't make you a horrible person! Sometimes I move to the couch in the middle of the night for the same reasons!
