I think you missed a big one. November 1st marks the beginning of the Christmas Season for many of us. Not everyone, but quite a few of us.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's finally Thursday and we have almost reached the finish line for this week!

We're going to get steady rain all day long and the temps are much cooler than the past few days, as today doesn't even hit 70 degrees. It will feel like October tonight when the rain turns chilly. What a weekend this will be, and what a time we are heading into!

You can see on the counts above, just three days are all that separates us from the major milestone day of 100 DAYS TO THE BERS. Beginning on Monday, that count will enter double digits and that seems unbelievable. We haven't had a count north of 200 days now for a while. Seeing another count enter double digit territory just confirms that we are moving along. THE ROAD is nearly ready to open!

Have a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well on this Thursday. It feels like Friday to me since I'm taking it off. I feel like we're looking off in the far distance now and for the first time this year we can see The Bers. It's still far off in the distance but you can actually see it. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! TGIF!! We finally made it to Friday!

And it's a big Friday. The weekends always feel like mini holidays, but this weekend is SPECIAL as it is obviously the long weekend that sees "THE ROAD" back to The Bers officially open up.

We're down to single digits now in our count to JOL Day #4, and obviously now just a mere two days from a MAJOR milestone.

I hope work goes by fast today because I want to enjoy this long weekend. I'm off Monday and Tuesday. And my Son turns one year old today! I can't believe it's been a whole year!

Have a great day, friends!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well on this special Friday. This feels like the turning point of the year. Today, this weekend and of course Monday. Memorial Day. It's just an amazing feeling and I am happy I took off today. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! OUR weekend is finally here. It's a big one and there shouldn't be one person on this site that doesn't know what this weekend means for our countdowns and how things will feel moving forward.

Folks, we are on the doorstep to an absolute UNIT of a milestone.

100 DAYS TO THE BERS will be here tomorrow and I say this every year, but I have been ready for the longest time.

Even though it's 50 degrees outside and pouring down rain, Summer begins this weekend. I am ready for the journey. We obviously have our surgery coming up in 20 days (!!!), which is at the middle of June. When that is over and the subsequent recovery, we will probably be close to July 4th weekend, the final Non-Bers holiday of the year. So mentally by that point I'm thinking I just have to deal with ONE MORE MONTH until Fall Pre-Season is back! I've got this!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

100 Days to The Bers.jpg



Happy Milestone Sunday folks! ALL LANES ARE OPEN as THE ROAD officially opens up today! This is obviously the biggest milestone day on this site! I am ready for the "challenges" of the next 100 days and seeing ourselves *this* close to arriving back home is the motivation I need to get through summer. Even though we have been on the journey back since January 1st, every day we complete from this point forward is one step further in our "final approach" back home to The Bers.

One week away now from JOL Day #4. Tomorrow, another count enters double digits.

I hope all of us, whatever we are doing today, can take time to appreciate this amazing and inspiring milestone. I remember last year being in the hospital, and learning that we were going to get to go back home on this milestone day. It was a present from God, a sign from the universe that it was all going to be ok.

Have a great Sunday, Pumpkin People!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. We have a very rainy day here again. The Sunday Group was going to do miniature golfing but that's been washed out. But we make alternative plans and we're going to brunch at our favorite spot and then home for coffee. Happy Halloween!
 
Good evening, ghouls and gals!

It's been a slightly rainy day here. More thunder than rain, so I guess that's good? We have a storm rolling in right now. The severe weather has stayed well north and south of us. This little storm we're having now isn't much. I'm hoping to get to the At Home store tomorrow to see if they have any Halloween stuff out yet. They were clearing some shelves off a couple of weeks ago, so just maybe.

Have a great night!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! Happy Monday to everyone! Monday's don't seem as bad when you have a day off, do they? I don't go back to work until Wednesday.

Just like that, The Bers count is now finally in double digits.

Even The Count is here to acknowledge the significance of yet another count now officially entering into double digit territory.

We have entered into the 150's on the Halloween Count! Big things happening this week. Happy Rudolph Day, and we are also now at HALFWAY TO THANKSGIVING WEEK. Lots of fun stuff going on this week. I hope all of you are well! Have a great day!
 
Good morning Halloween Fans!

Sorry for not checking in here recently, just been a really busy end of the school year! But now it is SUMMER BREAK!

The weather this May has continued to be cool and somewhat Fall like. I have been able to get a few Halloween movies in this Spring, which has been great. My goal was to watch some of the movies that I normally cannot fit in during the true Halloween season. While I did not watch as many as I would have liked, I was able to knock a few off the list.

Having not been on to look at the countdown much, I am shocked how far along we are! Exciting times!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a cloudy Memorial Day. We had rain this morning but it stopped. And now it's just kind of gloomy out. We haven't seen the sun since Friday. I'm ready for a BBQ later. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! It's Tuesday. Moving towards another weekend slowly, but surely! I am off work today, as I chose to take a 4 day weekend. The next time I will be off work will be beginning June 12th, which is Holly's surgery day. It seems hard to believe that is a little over two weeks away.

Just a reminder to anyone reading the thread here if you have not gotten out to vote, please do so over in The Bers thread!

Another cool morning before making its way up to a muggy 75 degrees. It rained a tiny bit overnight, and I am hoping that it is dry enough to finally mow the back yard. It is really starting to look like a jungle!

I hope everyone has a great day!

In one week’s time, we’ll be 60 days out from Fall Preseason!

Don't some of the counts seem "soon" to you? I know that right now it's a little over two months away, but looking at some of those counts really make you feel like it's just a couple of weeks away. Maybe just wishful thinking from my part.....
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well on this Tuesday. It feels like a Monday, but it isn't. It's a beautiful day here as everyone goes back to school and work after a very rainy weekend. I think it was the rainiest this century I read for Memorial Day Weekend. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Mid-way through the week now and almost in sight of another weekend!

We are also now exactly one week from the 150 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN milestone day! I look at these countdowns above and it dawned on me just now that before next month is over, there will be only ONE countdown that is north of 100 days! That's kind of Spooky!

I hope everyone has a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans!

I am been thinking a lot about the upcoming Fall and Halloween Season. I will not be coaching football this Fall so I will have a lot more time to enjoy the Fall. I am looking forward to being able to enjoy more Halloween movies in the evenings and more Fall events on Saturdays. Another part of the Fall that I will enjoy is going to Cleveland Browns games. We decided to get season tickets this year, so some of my Sundays will be spent in Cleveland. This is going to be a great Fall!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a cloudy day so far out there. But it should get a little better this afternoon. It's kind of humid out there too but it's ok. Not terrible. Not July humidity and heat. Happy Halloween!
