DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 142
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 118
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 57


Happy Post Holiday Weekend! We are moving ahead now folks as the 4th of July amazing long holiday weekend is over until next summer. That's ok though because way before we get to that again we have the 3 above counts to look forward to. We have 142 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 118 days left until November, and 57 days to go until The Bers. Our next milestone will happen 1 week from today when we reach the "Final Fifty" and that will be to The Bers of course. It's hard not to be excited here in the middle of the summer all while trying to enjoy this time of the year as much as we can. Now many of you had a long weekend. And today many of us go back to work. And I think that we all probably thought something about those 3 counts above this holiday weekend. I know that I did. It's that turning point where you really start thinking and considering all of the things we love the most being ahead of us but we can see them now. It's an exciting and fun time of year. Have a great Post Holiday Weekend!​

I was missing Fall something "horrible" over the weekend, except it was a good feeling. Classic Feels. It started with me being at Lowes and randomly seeing bales of hay that they had for sale. My next stop after Lowes was Hobby Lobby, where I finally saw Christmas Trees out for sale. I had the Feels for basically the entire day after that point. Sitting down for the last couple of Harry Potter Movies last night (SyFy was running a marathon), there were a lot of Feels, and I really did think of our counts and even more thought of what it will feel like when we enter that "Final 50" to The Bers. Have a great day!

Going to point out one other minor countdown since I always associate it with fall and Thanksgiving....30 days until NFL preseason kickoff. I'm not even a huge fan, but something about hearing it in the background puts me in the Thanksgiving mindset.

YES! Only 30 days? Wow....that's awesome.

I know a lot of people who don't like preseason football, but for me, it heralds the arrival of Fall. It's just nice to have football on TV again.
 
So many things are getting closer... preseason football, back to school, the Bers, Thanksgiving can't be far behind!

Happy Week Into July! Yes we are a full week into this hot, humid and crazy summer month. We had quite a thunderstorm last evening. Fortunately, no power outages. We have the following 3 counts here on this mid-week: 141 days till Thanksgiving, 117 days till November, and 56 days till The Bers. Our next milestone is next week on Tuesday when we reach the "Final Fifty" which is extremely exciting and that will be to The Bers of course. Cross promotion but that's when in the Holiday Hang Out we'll have our 50 Day Preview of The Bers. Pretty amazing. Just trying to enjoy today and not get too ahead of ourselves but all these reasons we're experiencing are exciting for sure. Tomorrow is Thursday and our friend CW will be here to post a great video for us. Let's just remind him to push the "post reply" button this time :). Other than that I hope all are well and enjoying the summer. It's a great time of year that there is no going backwards from to spring/winter. 2 seasons behinds us on our road back to Autumn. Have a great Week Into July!
 
It's just so hard now not to look ahead of all that great stuff coming up that you mentioned. I've said it many days in a row now, but I still can't believe that we are this close to the Final Fifty. And really for me, July feels like it is roaring by. I'll be setting out my fall outside decorations in no time!
 
Just don't mention back to school to kids yet. They just are on their 2nd of 10 weeks off!
I will leave that one off, ;), we start back on August 11th so that countdown will begin soon, but you are right, we all need to enjoy each day!
 
I'm in the mood to watch a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I wonder how much work I could get done with that playing on the monitor? :p
 
Everyone ready for some Thanksgiving news?

Me too. The wellspring's been a little dry as of late. I could use some parade updates.

For now, the only thing I've found is that Bed, Bath, and Beyond is the latest retailer to announce that they will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. I feel like that one's kind of redundant though: Of all the Thanksgiving Day sales and early Black Friday sales out there, are people really going to be lining up to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond?

(Don't answer that. I'm sure the answer is "yes," but I just can't see it.)
 
We had a pretty good t-storm last night. We lost power around 9:30 or so but I think it was because they were fixing it down the road. it was only out for about 40 mins or so.

Looking forward to the 50's countdown but I am not rushing summer out the door just yet!
 
I also am not rushing summer out the back door, but sure could use some cooler temperatures. When we talk about July 4th being the big holiday before we get into our fall glory, it is a little bit different here in Utah. We have Pioneer Day holiday on July 24 and there is a big parade and most people have the day off so I usually don't take it seriously that the Bers are almost here and we are headed to Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas until that holiday is over.
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 140
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 116
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 55


Happy Jumping July! We are moving along here folks in this work week which was shorter due to the holiday for many on Monday. And we have the following 3 countdowns on this Thursday AM: 140 days till Thanksgiving, 116 days till November, and 55 days till The Bers. Our next milestone is on Tuesday (which is in 5 days) when we reach the "Final Fifty" till The Bers. That's close enough for comfort if you ask me. The great thing is look at our Thanksgiving countdown. I know you follow the weekly countdown on Monday but that round 140/7=20 weeks from today is Thanksgiving Day. That really hits me. It feels hard to believe we've gone through 32 weeks since Thanksgiving. Fortunately we still have a full 20 weeks to go. I'm hoping these 20 will be slower than those 32 combined were. We can hope right? That will include of course a good majority of The Bers. Now we wait for CW to hit "post reply" today :). And he will post us a great video we all hope. Have a great day everyone. Have a great Jumping July!
 
I saw @The_Escalation mention Black Friday a few posts above. Even with people being excited that the pandemic is largely subsiding and they want a "normal" holiday shopping experience, do you really think Black Friday is really going to be a thing this year? I ask because even before the pandemic, around here things were pretty flat at our stores. So many retailers had opened up ON Thanksgiving day, that by the time Friday came, it was nearly non-existent. Much like a normal day!

If Black Friday is forever changed for good, I will miss it! My mom and my Grandma (when she was in better health), used to LOVE getting up early and going to the mall at like 5:00 in the morning to get in those lines! Really makes me miss the old days!
