Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Ooops sorry for adding you in their Holiday...I knew you would agree with me their though....Bring on Fall

Ha ha ha - not yet pal!! It's summer, but the weather has been feeling like fall the last week!

 

[Holiday]

It looks very comfortable!!
Love those cute & soft shirts.
Bummer about not being able to hang your clothes out~

Thank you!! It’s ok for a Monday!

Monday's are just never the preferred day, are they??

 

[Holiday]

Yes, it is!!

Thank you

They did, had a nice drive with good weather.

Any day off is a good day!! If I am going to the cabin, or have specific plans, summer is great too. But if I don’t, I prefer to work and save the days for sweater weather

There is nothing wrong with that!!! I like sweatshirt & bonfire days at the lake too!!
Glad to hear your parents had a safe trip!!!

Have a good evening MMC!! I wish I didn't have so much to get done tonight...I want to curl up on the couch w/ a blankey!! Dreary day...

 

[MerryCarey]

I hope your headache got better as the day went on!! xx
Days off work are the best, aren't they?

You said it!
I think the headache is broken, but now I have a "headache hangover"---not feeling as sharp as usual, and a little slow. That should improve by tomorrow. It often happens after a stubborn headache.

I don’t think so

I think you should end the night that way, with Lucy all snuggled up. Do something you enjoy to wind down, read a bit, knit, watch a Christmas movie, etc.

Love love love that picture of the two of them in the window! They became friends, so sweet. Loki used to look out the patio door when we left the appartment when he was little. It was so fun seeing the top of his little head pop up when we were coming home. But he rarely does it anymore.

This is the look of a dog that’s getting ready to bolt out the door as you try to leave and run around the neighborhood for an hour in the pouring rain. I should have seen it in her eyes. No more stopping by my aunts house and taking her for walks for awhile. She’s grounded.

She sure looks mischevious there. That must have been scary when she bolted. Glad she’s with you now.

Hello all.

Yesterday we went to the Blues Festival, it was a lot of fun. Smaller than I expected but still a good time. Really good food!
The main attraction was Samantha Fish, a young blues artist who has 5 albums out. I think it is 5 anyway.
She was really good, though the sound was not great in the big barn, but she put on a good show and did autographs and pictures afterwards. My dad is a big fan and got her autograph and got to take a picture with her.

I just finished another chapter of my thesis. I need to go back and do some editing on a previous chapter, but things are moving along nicely. I will probably have two, maybe three, more chapters plus the conclusion.

Today is Nathan's last day at home before he leaves for the Army. We will drop him off around 11:30 tomorrow morning and will probably not see him until Christmas time. We will get to talk to him a couple of times on the phone and we will write to him regularly.

We had an interesting conversation the other evening. He was finally realizing that he was becoming an adult and going to be on his own. He started asking questions like, "so when you're an adult and out of the house, how do birthday's work?" "How will Christmases work when I am an stationed somewhere far away?" It was a good conversation and nice to see he is thinking about how things will be different.

Well, everyone have a great Sunday!

Keeping Nathan in my prayers!

Happy Monday to everyone!

The weather is beautiful here, but I can't get rid of a headache that started yesterday evening. I hope it isn't an unusually busy workday!

Looking ahead and dreaming about when to schedule my remaining vacation days ... I usually use a few between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I also like one or two in October.

Praying your headache is gone!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

It was another hot, humid weekend, but I managed to get the yard cut, and all the edging and string-trimming done. It's hard work in that humidity, but I sure am proud of it after it's done.

Elizabeth has thrown herself into both the next community theater production, and her school's One-Act Play competition. She's also volunteered me as a set builder for One-Act. I don't have a single bone in my body that says "carpenter", but I'll give it a whirl.

Jacob is trying to get moved from home into an apartment with some friends. Nancy is UNhappy. I'm not looking forward to him finally leaving home, but I understand why he wants to.

He and my brother and I did shoot some sporting clays yesterday afternoon, and that was fun!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Keeping you and Nancy in my thoughts.

What parts did Elizabeth get?

 

[Meceka]

Thank you!!

Harlowe is improving some, today is her last dose of antibiotics, so the next few days will be telling. Fingers crossed!

Jazzie was still sick over the weekend, unfortunately. My Mom is getting her into the vet this week, as soon as possible.

xx

Praying for the girls! xx

 

[Meceka]

Good Morning, friends~

Hope your Monday is off to a nice start!

Our Sunday was a blur. We went out to lunch with Mom & Dad before they headed back home with Jazzie.
The rest of the day was spent doing laundry, and housework.
Then dinner, a walk, tv for a few minutes, and then we crashed.

A typical week here, just getting back into our normal routines. Adi's Birthday is Thursday, and I need to pick up one more gift.

Like MerryCarey posted, I too am trying to plan vacation days. Autumn and Winter are right around the corner, and that's when I like to use the majority of mine. Long Autumn weekends, and extra holiday time. So excited as we look forward to the 'Bers.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday to Adi!
