Christmas Countdown - 2018

[HomemakinGirl]

Good Morning ~
Happy Friday!
It’s going to be sunny today with a high of 80 degrees. Not too much going on here, I’m just having my coffee and relaxing for a few minutes. Rocky had a rough night, he was up a lot with a belly ache. I’m pretty tired today so I might try to squeeze a nap in at some point. It will just be a typical day of errands and chores for me. We’re going to grill steaks for dinner, should be a relaxing evening. I hope everyone has a nice day and a wonderful weekend ahead!!!

Good Morning, Ever-Excited Eve Enjoyers!

Yes, indeed-a-rino.
It is once again Weekend Eve.
And once again, we settle down at our comfy computer desks to read all about the latest countdown data release.

Well OK, then:
Days to the Season: 116
Days to Christmas Day: 158

And the 100-Day Season Milestone?
Well, that's only 16 days away, now. Practically down to TWO WEEKS, as the year slowly drains away.

Pretty pleasant here yesterday for mid July, with reduced humidity and temperatures that stayed below 90. No rain, either. (I got that lawn mowed yesterday evening!)
Today will see us in the mid-80's but with a 50/50 chance of precipitation.
This day-before-the-weekend has dawned here at 72 degrees.

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And an outstanding Weekend Eve!

thank you for keeping us on track counting down to the best most exciting time of the year !!!

Hope Rocky is feeling better real soon. Penny was throwing up the other night, have no idea why, but she is fine today.
I am baking some focacci bread (with rosemary and olives ) and then have to go and pick up my daughter. work does not start till noon today, but its only 4 hours so it is good.

Good rainy morning MMC! TGIF!! Yep, it's raining in Ohio!! Took me a bit to figure out what the wet stuff was falling from the sky!

I work until noon today & after a stop at Moms I'll be heading home to pack up for the weekend at the lake & then I'll head that direction! Lucy & I took a drive out there last night. It was such a nice night, it was hard to leave! Tomorrow our friends/neighbors are having her whole family over for her Moms 90th birthday party. We know her family pretty well & she wants us neighbors to be there. Hopefully the weather will hold out for them! xx As of now there is a 90% chance of rain tomorrow! Might be a Hallmark Christmas In July movie kind of weekend!!

Everyone, have a great FRIday!!!

Good morning... How is it Friday already? I wanna restart my vacation LOL. I am sore this morning. DH and I put in a new floor in the kids bathroom yesterday. Another project checked off the list. Was not able to get all the projects done that I wanted but I did get a good amount done. Later this morning I am going to finish getting things together for donations. Time to clear out this stuff.

We have our solar panels being installed today, they have been here since 7 am. One of the guys left the gate open and Raven got out chasing a poor bunny. Never seen a bunny run that fast before. I called for her and she gave up the chase and came right to me. Poor bunny, not sure he will be brave enough to come back lol.

I know... i myself, I’m going to make a few of those weekends, a three day weekend.

I'd love to do that ... but I have to save most of my remaining vaca days for Christmas projects and the Christmas season. So I'm practicing patience right now!

Nope that's fine. We have about 8 bunnies living under our shed LOL

As the old TV show title says: eight is enough! Especially where bunnies are concerned!

Good evening everyone. We are back from a few weeks away on vacation and I looking forward to getting a read through the forums. It's always hard getting back to the grind after a break but I never mind the summer holiday finishing, good as it was, as we all know the best parts of the year are just around the corner.

Welcome back!

Happy Anniversary Sugar
I agree with you: there is no place like home!

Thanks, Solice!

Happy Friday all. Family is visiting from across the pond, so we're going out for lunch. Then they're off to see the sights in New York.

It's been a quiet couple of days here. The FIL, with his dementia, now believes that he's been in this house before and he was offered a job here when he was younger. Neither has happened, but we know to go along with the illusion. No need to confuse him.

The weather is finally cooling down, but still not enough for my liking. I heard that as you get older your body has a harder time cooling itself. Maybe when I'm finally retired I'll just put myself on the next iceberg.

Enjoy the beginning of the weekend all.

Enjoy the visit with your family! Prayers for your FIL.

Good morning, MMC! It’s Friday, but it’s my weekend to work and first night back later on. I’ll have to catch a nap here later - the first night back is always tough, especially after 11 days off!

Not much going on today. I’m just drinking a cup of coffee and watching Hallmark.

Last evening was wonderful - DH and I really enjoyed dinner and we visited with my sister and BIL, as well as the baby. She is growing like a weed and doing so many new things.

Hope you all have a great day!

Where did you go on vacation? Welcome back! And yes, it is hard getting back to the grind! This was my 2nd week back & it was a really long week! Have a great weekend!

Merry Thursday!
