Good Morning campers!!
Hope everyone has their campfires lit this morning.. it is a nippy 42F here this morning...;-)
This week was my first week of the new schedule and I have to say I quite like it...I worked Monday and then have been off since..I work today and then have a 3 day weekend...not to mention I no longer have to stay late on Wednesdays..and with these dark evenings that is nice..I used to be there till 7.45 pm some Weds....
Not much going on around here..kids are busy doing their thing..thanks for the sweet comments about Ryan..I will definitely have to dig out an old pic of hubby to compare...we have a late Oktoberfest to go to tomorrow evening at the Commanders house...Monday is Veterans day and then hubby is going to Washington State for a 3 day conference Tuesday...it'll be thanksgiving the week after and then our trip out to California the following week...and then the real countdown to Christmas will be on..I need to get my gifts mailed to UK this weekend...other than that we don't exchange gifts with all the other family members (thank God) so I only have to buy for my lot here and co workers etc...I need to transfer all my emails to my address book and get organized for the Christmas card exchange..it'll be neat sending cards all over the states and to UK..Australia and Germany..;-)
The weather here is absolutely gorgeous..it's cold in the mornings but warms up during the day..the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun has been shining brightly ..it doesn't get much better than that... I have had my lovely new windows open and the house is aired out... we have been sleeping with the windows cracked and I haven't slept so good in ages...I hate the false "air" from the air conditioner all summer....I have the house all cozy with the Autumn decorations and the house smells wonderful courtesy of good old Yankee candle tarts in Autumn Leaves scent..even hubby noticed yesterday when he came home..he said the house smelt nice..that's a huge deal trust me...;-) In my flurry of "nesting" around here I decided to self clean the oven yesterday..I forgot I had a Pyrex dish in there soaking from the night before...yep you guessed it..it exploded!! What a noise and what a fright I got..so I had the pleasure of cleaning up all that glass... :-( I can't believe I was that stupid!
Anyway I am rambling on here..I will leave you with my five thankful's but first I wanted to mention the loss of Donna's darling sister..

3... great books and days off to enjoy them...
4....Our new windows..it is a blessing to have windows that we can actually open...;-)
5..... All of you as always....

Oh my I can remember when I lived in my other apartment it was so small I had no pantry to keep food in....I had a loaf of bread and a plastic bag of cereal inside my oven...and you can guess what I did as well....LOL.....June:)
Sounds like you have a full schedule all the way up to the holidays. Sit back and enjoy what time you have. The holidays will be upon us soon enough. (Hugs) Indigo
And boy, when those pyrex dishes go, they sure do go.
Be well.

It was a bit chilly here this morning too! I'm glad your schedule is working out for you :)
I need to do some Fall cleaning here but don't seem to find the time. I'll have to do it this weekend. The holidays are sure fast approaching!

Sounds like a dream work week to me! I am always saying to Todd, it's too bad that we couldn't live here and get paid and I wouldn't have to do anything for it in return! FAT chance! Sounds like you have some busy times coming up! It's gotten quite a lot colder here just these past few days. Oh well, I knew it couldn't last forever! (the mild temps that is)
Have a great weekend!
love,
Marie

Lyn I am glad your work schedule is going well ~ sounds like a dream week to me ~ It is really cold here and as I live in East Anglia we have lots of flood warnings here at the coast Great Yarmouth and Salthouse and other areas along the coast they have evacuated lots of people from their homes and Jake and Sam are off school as they are using all the busses to transport those people ~
Good Luck with your Christmas shopping ~ Ally x
