Christmas Countdown - 2019

[sugar142286]

Good morning all. Just catching up with you guys and having some coffee. Just sat out some hot dogs to do a chili cheese dog bake that the kids like for dinner. DD has individual baton lessons tonight. She normally has them on Monday's, but since she didn't go to school, her instructor was able to move it to tonight for us. Other than that, DH is working, so just doing some laundry and odds & ends.

Happy Pines Day! Hope you're all enjoying the day so far!

LOL Nancy says she likes my gray, too. I think it just looks old...of course, my gray has been increasing for a while now!

Most men look nice with some gray. Women on the other hand, just don't usually. (Don't take offense women!). LOL

Thank you! I think whenever I told Alexa to play it, I just said to play, "Covers playlist". It is instrumental, but it was something I really enjoyed, especially when sitting reading or evening now, when I'm sitting here with you guys, drinking coffee and just catching up on things.

Alexa is pretty cool...You dont need ant cd's anymore...just tell her to play your fav playlists...ummm off-course mines is christmas songs lol

I agree! We're an Apple home, so I would have loved to have an Apple version, but for the price, but can't beat the Alexa and it still does so much.

Yuck! Not that the forecasted -9F Sunday morning is exciting, but at least I don't have to shovel it.

Nah, it's too late to retreat to the cabin in the hills.

But maybe not the Shispering Pines.
(Now there's an idea!)

 

[Yuletide Junkie]

That sounds Rod Serlingish.

Submitted for our approval...

I'll bring candy canes for stirring/sweetening the hot tea!

This reminds me of a brief dream I had last night! I was driving in the town I grew up in, and saw a white car with a red "MMC" on the doors, and a sign on the front grille that said "Happy 'Pines Day!" in green. I wanted to stop and talk with whoever was driving it, but wasn't able to. Crazy, eh?

That was me, Merry!

I did just want to share a few images of the car with you!

It’s been a long couple of days here. My neighbor came home from rehab on Saturday and he really should have never been released. His kids act like it’s a big shock but even I knew he would need 24/7 care once he got home from when I went to visit him there. It’s not like the doctors were trying to hide it. His daughters just wanted to ignore it and thought he’d be fine. So now it’s just a big mess and I’ve been over there a lot trying to help out when they can’t be. They say they have worked out a plan but I’ve heard like 5 different versions of it today alone. So who knows what is going to end up happening. I just know it can’t keep going like it is.

Keeping your neighbor in my prayers, made, as well as you! xx

Praying your appointment goes well, prancer! xx

Good morning ~
Just a quick hello. We’re heading out early for my daughters graduation ceremony. I have lots to do before we leave. I can’t believe my baby is graduating from college. Another milestone for my family. I will check back in here later today. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
xx

Congratulations to your daughter! xx

Good Morning, Everybody!
So very, very close now to our premier Milestone marker of 2019.

Let's inspect the exciting details:
Days to the Season: 301
Days to Christmas Day: 343

Wow!
The 300-day Season Window. It will be here TOMORROW!
Then, the very next day, our Season count will begin with a 2.
(And that just seems "2" soon, Folks!)

Bit by bit. Day by day. We get just a little warmer for the high.
Today will see that gradual trend continue and we are predicted to reach the mid 50's, then 60 by Friday before we cool off again.
This center day of the week has commenced here at a chilly but sunny 30 degrees.

Is it 'Pines Day again, already?
Yep. And already the third one of the new year.
(That hardly seems possible, too!)
Anyway, Carl is ready as always at the front door. And owing to the chilly temperatures, he is offering a choice of iced or hot tea. (I just might take the latter this time!)
Hope to see you all there.

Meanwhile, you try your level best to have a Wonderful Wednesday, OK?

Thank you, Crown!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

I'm working today until noon, then taking off for my ortho appointment. I'm so ready to get my hand fixed!

Lulu and I ran to the vet clinic yesterday afternoon to get her prescription food, then I got my CRAZY-LONG hair cut. I was starting to look like a hippie, and it seemed to happen overnight LOL.

Nancy, Elizabeth and I are taking Jacob out to dinner tonight.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Praying your ortho appointment goes well!

Thanks, CK! It's just a bummer I can't drive it anywhere until June, but it will be worth it!
