Whoa, it's a triple milestone! Tom Turkey Day, 70 Days til the Bers, and 100 Days til October! What a great day!

Also, I'd like to petition to start "Spooky Summer." I am feeling some major Halloween feels, perhaps due in part to all of the Halloween news dropping right now. I feel like I could find Halloween candy showing up any day now.
I think Spooky Spring worked so well because of the weather. I think Spooky Summer is doable, but it would be hard because of the constant heat. I barely get through when it’s in the 90’s, I can’t imagine being you and down where it is 100 degrees everyday for a while. But I start getting spooky vibes easier when August is here and it’s starting to cool down of an evening!

Don't worry, I was (mostly) joking. I don't think Spooky Summer would work as well as Spooky Spring, especially without the Halfoween component to help drive things along. But I do love that we're getting a lot of Halloween buzz during this time of year!

For right now, though, Leon Day and the Halfway to Christmas/CIJ celebrations get their due time in the spotlight.

So this one is for you: What do monsters do in the summer? Turn on the scare conditioners. :p

Good Morning Friends - Happy Milestone Day! Today at long last, we have reached 100 Days to October!

The weather is going to cooperate too, with today's high being only 70 degrees!

And what's up next? Well halfway to Christmas certainly, but we will be in a 60's count to the Bers beginning on Sunday!

Have a great day, friends!
How did your days until the Bers count get off track?
 
How did your days until the Bers count get off track?
It’s from posting from my mobile phone, I think….I try and copy and paste the previous days, and I think that’s how it gets off. I don’t have Tapatalk….I seem to do better from the “old school” desktop computer.

We are back on track now!
 
What's Tapatalk? I feel really old not knowing what this is.
Tapatalk is an app that makes forums easier to use on mobile devices. I am not sure if it is on all phones though. It makes using the forums almost like being on your desktop computer, much easier, etc... I'm coming to you from a desktop computer though this morning, so no worries!

Good Morning Friends! Happy Leon Day / Rudolph Day Eve! And happy Friday!

QVC hit us right in the feels last night with the 1st night of "Christmas in July". Seeing the trees always is like a happy gut punch.

Looking at our counts, which have been triple checked for accuracy, you can now see we have only ONE more count above 100 days in here, and that is the "Days to Halloween" !

Now in a 60's count on Days to the Bers and finally below 100 days on our journey back towards October. Have a great day, friends!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! And Happy Leon Day / Rudolph Day to you all! Feels are high this weekend. July 4th weekend now looms just a week away, and we have already mentioned how much of a psychological change there will be after that. I'm planning a Hobby Lobby Run today mainly to see how much more Christmas stuff is on the shelves now that we are halfway to Christmas, but also I'm hoping to snag some pumpkin / Fall candles to replace some of my stock that no longer "smells" and some candles that are almost burned up.

Have a great weekend, and keep Halloween / Fall thoughts in your head! I'm really going to need them the next few weeks as the Sweat Fest returns in full force. But the peak hottest day for us is about 25 days from now. We've got this! Have a great day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Sunday! We are now almost at the beginning of July 4th week. Month end has arrived again. There's been so much excitement in the air the past few days, with all of our milestones and reaching halfway to Christmas, that it almost feels a little bit like the day after Christmas this morning. But there's no more halfways now to anything. And that is either comforting, or alarming, depending on your viewpoint! I think it's great!

Folks, Hobby Lobby was just about busting at the seams yesterday with all of the fall stuff it felt amazing. And I saw something in there yesterday that I haven't saw yet so far in the season - and that's a MASSIVE amount of bare / empty isles. The furniture section in the middle is being cleared off for big Christmas Trees, and now there is entire rows / sections that are completely empty. About a month ago, I saw endcaps that were empty, and sections of isles here and there, but this was massive. As soon as July 4th is over, it's going to look like the North Pole in there, I can feel it!

Have a great Sunday, keep Fall & Halloween thoughts in your head !
 
In only 4 weeks, no more triple digits! o_O
That's exactly right - on July 24th we will say goodbye to the last count that had triple digits! That day is barreling towards us like it's on a rocket sled, especially now that we are one week away from July 4th weekend!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's the start of a week that has a 3 day Holiday weekend for most of us! I've long talked about how different things seem after July 4th, it's not just a mental thing, it's a physical / appearance thing as well! We should see Halloween candy pop up in the store by the end of this month! And we are probably no more than 3 - 4 weeks from seeing all of the major stores put out Fall merchandise once July 4th is over. "Back to School" will be the next shopping theme, and it's not far away! Hobby Lobby right now is churning out Fall stuff, and making major inroads in clearing off more isles to put out more Christmas stuff. All around it's a pretty special time, right now is like putting all of the ingredients in the big pot and watching / waiting for it to start simmering.

We've got a black ceramic cauldron that looks like a witch's cauldron, we keep candy in it year round, even things like Valentine's, Easter, and Christmas candy, as well as stocking it with Pumpkins and Ghosts during Halloween season. Does anyone else have anything "Halloween-ish" that they keep displayed in their homes all year? I'd love to hear about it. If I'm the only one, that's fine, I can admit to being "weird"!

Have a great day!
