DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 112
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 85
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 24
Happy Awesome August! Today folks we move along and see that we have 112 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 85 days to go until November, and 24 days left until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest feeling good with our next milestone still a dozen days away. Maybe I’m willing myself mentally for the time to slow down but for some reason it has for me. Not sure why. But I hope I can do it for all of you as well. And make for a very long (nice and slow) Bers ahead. Today’s Thanksgiving Thought Thursday below is telling you that this autumn is 1 week longer than last year. Let’s see if I can convince you of it!
From the week after Labor Day through the week before Thanksgiving is normally 10 weeks. But this year it’s 11. When Labor Day comes earlier, and Thanksgiving comes later it extends what most of us consider the hardcore autumn to be longer. I know people complain it makes the Christmas Season shorter, but the Christmas Season is so intense 24/7 that I think I’d almost rather have the extra week for Autumn.
Just one man’s opinion here. Ironically, next year we will have the same situation. Either way you must look at the positives of it and extend the time as much as you can. Have a great Awesome August!

I'm fine with a longer Autumn. I start immersing myself in Christmas on November 1st anyway, so whether it's 10 or 11 weeks doesn't bother me.
I think Harvest will be early this year and I hope that the weather cooperates. Knowing we have 11 weeks is nice, I can plan for it and maybe pace myself while sneaking in some Christmas prep to make up for one less week on that end.
It's just playing with the #s!
Good point!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 111
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 84
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 23
Happy Summer Friday! Today folks we have 111 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 84 days left until November, and 23 days to go until The Bers. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest with our next milestone a full 11 days from now still. It will be the 100-Day Marker till Thanksgiving. Wow. It’s worth the wait for sure. We move along on our Fun Fact Friday with today’s Fun Fact right below!
In 2010, the Cabot Creamery Cooperative and Chef John Folse & Company made every cheese-lover's dream come true by whipping up the world's largest serving of mac and cheese. The gooey monstrosity weighed 2469 pounds—and that's not including the 1902-pound kettle it was cooked in. It earned the title of largest macaroni and cheese ever made from Guinness World Records.
I’m not a fan of mac and cheese (I know I’m weird) but that’s quite impressive. Can you imagine that much mac and cheese? As a kid I was always interested in random records. Anyway, thanks for hanging out here today my friends. Hope you enjoyed your Fun Fact Friday and all the 5 topics all week long. Time to do our Friday thing like a turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Gobble Gobble. Woohoo. Have a great Summer Friday!

Me neither. Never eat it.
I can eat mac and cheese to be polite, but I too am not a fan. Yes to macaroni and yes to cheese, but together, I just don't get it. I know most people love it and it is even having a gourmet moment, but not for me.
That's three of us. We can start a club.
Now I am worried people only ate my Mac and Cheese to be polite??? I guess I'm glad I have switched to Chicken and noodles as my go to potluck dish!
I don't think you have anything to worry about. I thought I was the only one in the world who didn't eat it. It seems like everyone loves it. I don't even eat it to be polite. I just skip it all together.
We weirdos!
I'm just not into eating american/cheddar cheese which is why I will not eat it!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 110
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 83
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 22
Happy Double Digits August! Today folks we move along and have 110 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 83 days left until November, and 22 days to go until The Bers. Our next milestone will be in 10 days when we reach the 100-Day Marker till Thanksgiving. I don’t want to think about what’s beyond that so let’s keep that milestone in front of us for a while. We move along in our Summer Sweatfest after a very damp week here and begin our Quiet Weekend Period Part 1 of 2. That’s how we do our Saturdays here is with quietness and calmness. I hope all you friends of mine are doing well and feeling turkeyish. Guess what we’re having tonight? You guessed it. Turkey. It’s not quite a full mini Thanksgiving but we held it in the freezer longer than expected so we’re finally using it with just a few sides. Oh yes I’m having turkey tonight. I feel like turkey tonight. Don’t you? Or every night you feel that way? My friends the best to you and I hope you are doing well (as well as your family/friends). And your MMC friends are here in the Thanksgiving Thread watching the counts and having fun. I wish you all the best today on this Saturday. Get what you need to get done and then relax some if possible. Have a great Double Digits August!

Turkey sounds good. But I think we already ate all of our leftovers.

My experience is that most people love mac and cheese. Sometimes when I say I don't like it much, people look at me like I have three eyes--so I think you are safe.
