Christmas Countdown - 2019

[Edge612]

Good Morning, Folks.

Nothing stands between us now and the arrival of the half-way point to Christmas Season 2019!
Detail to be provided after the daily count numbers are presented.

Days to the Season: 197
Days to Christmas Day: 239

Yes, my Friends.
We have now passed EVERY Milestone marker out there prior to the half-way Season one. It's jut 15 days up ahead. TWO weeks from the day after tomorrow.
Just let that sink in, now.
HALF way back!
(Strains credibility, doesn't it?)

Very nice weather here yesterday with highs in the 70's, no rain, off and on sun and minimal pollen fall.
Tomorrow and the remainder of the work week could border on hot, with our highs getting at least to the mid 80's and possibly as high as 90. Hopefully, the humidity will stay away.
Currently, we perceive 65 degrees on our back yard thermometer.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown! Happy Last Day of April!

I'm heading back to work tomorrow. I was feeling awful this morning, but it seems to have cleared up; perhaps because things went well at the bank and I got a new pair of shoes for the gym and a few CD's, a new quilt for the bed and I finally spotted the robin resting in the nest on my window ledge that it built a week ago Sunday.

Two of my favourite staff at the bank are coming to my husband's Celebration of Life on June 8th. He always made their day going in and one of them lived on the same street as us many years ago.

Tip to those who may not know; a power of attorney for medical and property is terminated after death; they're only good for when the person is alive. You need a WILL.

I bought a will kit when I was doing my income tax, but didn't get a chance to do anything with it before my husband passed.

The bank couldn't transfer his TFSA to my chequing acount, but they are able to transfer funds from it; it's going to be a great celebration. Two celebrations in two cities two weeks apart.

I sure do miss him.

Keep a merry thought in your head

You are a very strong woman AuntieMistletoeDear. I will pray for you.

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

While Elizabeth was at dance last night, she got the call from the Mary Poppins director. After an audition and two call-backs, she got the part of Mary Poppins!! She was so happy, she sang until I finally fell asleep around midnight LOL. We're all so proud of her!

Nancy and I were working on her graduation invitations when she called to tell us about it. Even Lulu was excited!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Congradulations proud Momma

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

We had a busy Saturday. We took Elizabeth to another audition for Mary Poppins. She really REALLY wants to be Mary Poppins, but so do several other girls. I think has a better singing range, and of course the acting and dancing chops, but I'm afraid she may be too young for the part. I hope she gets it, though.

Later that night, we went to a singing competition at the same theater, similar to The Voice on TV. It's called The Statesboro Voice. It was a great show! We went, originally, because Jacob was hired to play in the stage band, and that was the only reason I wanted to go. But the singers were awesome! The winner closed with a beautiful rendition of "It Is Well With My Soul".

Sunday was full with a family reunion, and a birthday dinner for our nephew.

My pool is almost 100% clear now. Just a little more effort and we'll be ready for the upper 90's temps.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Good luck to Elizabeth and Happy Birthday to your nephew!

Good morning, MMC! Day off today! My niece will be coming by in a short while for me to babysit and will be here until late in to the evening, but that’s fine by me, I enjoy the time with her and watching her grow. Not much else planned for the day. DH is teaching again today and DD has two hours of baton lessons tonight, so it will be a quick evening of homework and dinner.

Hope you all have a great day! I myself can’t believe tomorrow is the first of May. This year is flying by!

Nice. Congrats to Elizabeth. You and Nancy should take a bow too. Great parenting never hurts.

Rough night - didn't sleep well, but I'll get r done.

O'Malley heard me stretch and called, "Me-maww"; I said, I'm not your memaw I'm your maw" and then I got worried that the robin would get anxious and fly away if it heard O'Malley meowing loudly.

Still nesting this morning. All I can see clearly is the tail.

Stay Jolly

Good Tuesday evening! I worked the afternoon/evening shift and can’t settle my mind yet to go to sleep. I got a call from our District Manager tonight asking me about a health and safety point that stores have lost during audits and I am frustrated to see that they are adding procedures that they never taught us or that are not written anywhere in our program and I’m having to scramble to fix things at the last minute. Hopefully I’ll calm down soon enough and go to sleep. Thank you for letting me rant.
And I hope everyone is well and has enjoyed a nice day.
