Where does the time go?

[MinnesotaMike]

Only 138 days until we reach the "ber" months!!!

[wstaple]

Can't get here soon enough for me!

[ornamentmaven]

I love the "ber" months. My birthday, our anniversary, Halloween. Thanksgiving, and Christmas. What could be better!!!

[MinnesotaMike]

Now it's down to 106 days!!!

[ornamentmaven]

Yeah! I especially love October for my two personal holidays plus Halloween!

[*Snowflake*]

Can't get here soon enough for me!

That' for sure:elf3:

[MinnesotaMike]

now it's down to 98 days until the "ber" months!!! WOW!!! :dizzy:

[ornamentmaven]

I can't believe just a few short months ago it was absolutely FREEZING here, and now it's so hot and humid! I will be decorating for Christmas in less than 6 months!

[MinnesotaMike]

We'll be seeing Fall and Halloween decorations in stores in 2 months!

Cant wait for autumn as well, thats the time I start preparations!! This autumn is going to be much more fascinating,as, I M gonna decorate my new job, the place I own and work every day! :)

[ornamentmaven]

Here we are at the half way point!

[ornamentmaven]

I was walking around a store yesterday trying to get some gift ideas!

[Bishop1954]

I think it becomes like the progression of time itself. I remember when it seemed like a particular day (or season) would never get here in my youth. As a young man, time almost remained a constant day after day.
Now in those "senior" years it literally flies by... ah well. As long as my memory remains intact (good Lord willing), I can always close my eyes, relax and bring back any time that I have ever lived and enjoy it again for a brief visit...

[chocolatechip1979]

I honestly feel like I just put our holiday items away. If I could get away with it I would never take my decorations down. I love the warm feeling you get just thinking about Christmas.

[Bishop1954]

Believe it or not, with all the accumulated stuff in my garage, the lighted garland around my double garage door is still up. And yes, from time to time I turn it on. Maybe tonight with this blizzard blowing around.

[Bishop1954]

The older I get, the faster the time rolls by. We are already approaching the first quarter of the year till we are back into the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year". :santa-smiley:

No kidding! The years whoosh by me!

[Bishop1954]

Hard to believe sometimes. I did nearly 24 years in the USAF and haven been retired almost 26 years... :xmascandycane:

That must be really weird, since it probably felt like a lifetime that you were in the service.

[Bishop1954]

True. Except for the last year, there were times I thought I would never make it... lol :elf1:

[Bishop1954]

Winter has officially started and Christmas is just a few days away. 2023 has really flown by... :tree:

No kidding. It feels like yesterday that you were deciding what your theme would be for this year's Christmas yard display. And I think that was right after Christmas last year. :santahat:

I feel like I can confidently tell myself that Christmas will be back here before I know it (which helps a lot!).

To be sure. I am already working on next year's design. I'm thinking of the theme "Checking it Twice". What do you think? :home:

I like that theme. I'd be interested to see how you put that together.
The library looks cozy. What's on the top of the tree? And I know I said it before, but I really like the lantern light. :reindeer2:

[Bishop1954]

I already have some ideas. Of course the sign outside will have to be hand-made... :elf3:

The sign?

[Bishop1954]

"Checking it twice..." :waving:

[Mistletoe]

That will be a nice project. :elf3:

[Bishop1954]

Looking forward to it and I will look for phosphorescent paint to use on the letters and possibly place a black light nearby to add depth to the glow... :tree:

Ah! Cool!

[Bishop1954]

I was checking them out down at Hobby Lobby. I just need to decide of big the sign itself will be... :yahoo:

[Bishop1954]

Nearly a third of 2024 is now past. It seems like I just got the stuff put away and it is almost time for some light Christmas in July decor to come out. :tree:

[Mistletoe]

We are now half way there and I just saw Fall decorations in Michael's! The last day of Spring was only 2 days ago!

Hallmark is all ready with their Christmas in July movies. The holiday season will be here before we know it!

Very true. Hobby Lobby is clearing some aisles for Christmas decor and I am already checking out the movies... :kinky elf:

[Bishop1954]

Went by Hobby Lobby again and the Christmas decor is beginning to show. Of course they do not carry Halloween stuff, so I guess it is easier to get a jump on those that do. 3/4 of the year is nearly put to bed. C'mon Fall... :fall:

[Mistletoe]

3/4 of the year is nearly put to bed.
That's amazing. :eek:

[tinkerbell2]

Today our youngest is 31...omg..where does time go..:elf1:

[Bishop1954]

What is the most amazing to me is how our minds and bodies disconnect at times. I am 70. Intellectually I know this. If I try to do too much, my body reminds me (lol). But so many times when it is just me and my surroundings, the concept of age escapes me somehow... :waving:

I know what you mean- I often feel like I'm in a time warp. Like no time at all has passed. I'm grateful that I can easily feel like times past have just happened. One of my sisters has been saying how old we all are since we were in our 20's. I'm so glad that I don't feel that way- even now. I think it might be because I like to immerse myself in the happy times/memories. What do you think?

Sounds logical to me or as I like to say about myself, "I hope I will never be 'childish', but forever 'child-like'." :xmascandycane:
