Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!! Not much going on today besides work. Tonight we have a family meeting at our house. Was hoping to have it under the tent, but oh well!! :rolleyes:
Our neighbors were over last night to help clean up the mess. That was a huge help!!! I think everything is ok - there is 1 tube that's a little bent on the tent, but it's still useable. It was just crazy how fast that happened!
Everyone, have a great day!!

Good afternoon .. hard to believe we are starting the downward journey back to our favorite time of the year! I was busy yesterday and didn't have time to stop in but I did celebrate by ordering 4 Christmas Gifts :D The weather has been perfect these past few days but that will come to end by this weekend as we start our first major heat wave of the year YUCK ... I hate it when its too hot and humid to do anything outside. Well hope everyone has a great day!

Speaking of mid-week and humps, Carl comes to mind. What also comes to mind is that this is the first 'Pines open house of summer!
As such, our friendly activities director no doubt has some appropriately-themed activities planned, about which we will not know unless we go.
Hope to see you there.

I'll bring some Mauna Loa chocolate-covered macadamia nuts from Hawaii to share!

Thanks, everyone! It's great to be back, both at home and on MMC.

We had a wonderful time. Although Hilo and Gloria are on the rainy side of the Big Island, we had more sunshine than usual, and every evening a beautiful "light show" at twilight from the sun and clouds. The morning of the day we left, there was a beautiful rainbow in the morning.

Our time with Gloria was also wonderful, but bittersweet. She is beginning to fail physically. It was so difficult to get her into and out of a car, so two of the days that we visited she didn't want to go out. The other days we took her out for lunch and dessert, and one day for a little shopping. Although she's failing physically, mentally she's still sharp and sunny, although she occasionally loses her concentration for a few moments and asks us to repeat a question or comment. In spite of the physical difficulties, she really enjoyed her lunch trips with us.

I was still off today (although Mr. went to work---brave soul!) and I slept SO late after our l-o-n-g, nearly sleepless trip home. After I finally got up, today was one long whirl of laundry, bookkeeping, folding laundry, putting away laundry, catching up with the held mail ... visiting MMC is the first thing I've done for pleasure all day! It's back to work tomorrow, and I'm starting to get pumped up about July Fourth. We've been anticipating our vacation so long that the Fourth has kind of sneaked up on me!
 
Good morning christmas friends...Hope everyone is all well today...Its another gorgeous sunny day here today even hotter than yesterday...So staying indoors today too keep cool....Ive watched a christmas movie already today and going to watch another one after lunch...Enjoy your day ahead christmas friends:)
 
Good Morning, Second Half Travelers.

Yes, Folks. In case you missed it, we passed the half-way point to Christmas a couple of days ago and are now on the downhill slope in BOTH or our counts!

What's next? You'll find out.
(Boy, will you find out!)

First, though:
Days to the Season: 138
Days to Christmas Day: 180

Now hold on, because there's hard-to-believe news coming.
I just 16 days - two weeks from the day after tomorrow -- we will be 2/3 OF THE WAY TO CHRISTMAS SEASON 2018.
You read that correctly, TWO thirds!
(This is just starting to get really frightening, Guys!)

It was again pleasant yesterday with reasonable temps, lower humidity and no rain.
Today will see us return to the mid-90's however, and we will then be in a "heat rut" for quite some time to come.
Our day here has commenced at 75 degrees.

Have a Thrilling Thursday Everyone, while you dream of Weekend Eve tomorrow!
 
Happy Thursday MMC ~
Cloudy with showers this morning, I hear some rumbles of thunder out there. I’m just having my coffee and hanging out with Rocky. We were up extra early with my husband because he had to be on a job site in the city. I think we might sneak back to bed for a little bit, Rocky definitely wasn’t ready to wake up that early. Not too much going on here. I’ll just be working on the laundry and I want to plan my Fourth of July menu. I’m making chicken cacciatore with angel hair pasta for dinner tonight. My middle one is off today so we we’re going to bake something this afternoon as well, we’re going to pick a cookie recipes off of Pinterest. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a Happy Friday Eve!!!
 
Happy Friday Eve! We have been having t-storms and heavy rain since about 7am or so. Just a regular day of work for me not too much planned tonight..I am hoping that I can get in a Christmas movie/show in today. Hope you all have a great day!
