Wednesday, June 16, 2021, 4:45 p.m. Partly cloudy, slight breeze, 83 degrees. A beautiful day

The beautiful dog pictured above is Wyatt. He is the head dog at the JL Walters household in Tennessee. He is a husky, 14 years old and knows he is the boss. He likes to go for short walks, Receive treats from guests dining at his home, being petted and spoiled and loved. He keeps his housemates, Finley, Lacy, and Murphy, in line and makes sure that all the human adults are safe and guarded well. He likes to be with people, greeting all who enter. He enjoys the large back yard as well as being in the house, snoozing in his comfy bed. On hot days he loves laying on the cool hearth in front of the fire place, without the fire burning. He is past the age of playing but occasionally will join the other dogs in the back yard for a game of tag or hide and seek with a toy. Occasionally he will take a toy or a bone and hide it, keeping it just for himself. He mostly watches to make sure they don’t cheat. Like so many of both humans and animals, Wyatt suffers from Arthritis so doesn’t do stairs, nor does he romp and run as he did in the good ‘ole days, but he still gets around and can keep his place as head dog. He is a very good, respected and loved part of the family.

Have a great, cool, enjoyable, productive, pleasant, positive and blessed day.,

Finley, I believe is part Border Collie and part Corgi. She is a good girl. She loves to play fetch and tug-a-war.

She share her home with with her besties’, Lacy, Murphy and Wyatt. They have a large back yard to romp and play in, Squirrels to chase and birds to try and catch.
They had a doggie door and the freedom to be inside or outside. Inside is good for sleeping and eating. For getting petted and played with. They each believe they are a t least part human and are just slightly spoiled. Yes, they are loved!

Have a wonderful rest of your day. Make it a cool, refreshing, happy, cheerful, productive and blessed day.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

FRIDAY, June 11, 2021, 5:21 P.M.

THUNDERSTORMS, CLOUDY, BREEZY,

PUDDLES, 75 DEGREES,

THE AMAZING THINS IS THAT

THE BIRDS DON’T MIND THE DOWNPOURS.

THEY ARE EATING OUT OF THE BIRD

FEEDERS AS IF IT WERE A SUNNY, DRY DAY,

TOTALLY IGNORING THE DOWNPOURS!

THE CARDINALS, THE BLUE JAYS,

THE BROWN HEADED COWBIRDS, THE

WRENS, THE BLACK BIRDS, THE DOVES

AND THE ROBINS ALL ENJOYING THE

BIRDFEEDERS.  I HAVEN’T SEEN THE

CHIPMUNK OR THE SQUIRRELS SO I GUESS

THEY ARE HOLED UP IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HOMES.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE PEOPLE ON THE

WEST COAST WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE HEAT

AND FIRE THREATS.  IT IS A SHAME WE CAN’T SHARE THE RAIN EVENLY WITH THEM.

HAVE A PERFECTLY WONDERFUL DAY AND A

PROSPEROUS, SAFE, HEALTHY, FUN, RELAXING

AND BLESSED WEEKEND

THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Thursday, June 10, 2021, 5:54 P.M.

CLOUDY, DRIZZLY, 80 DEGREES

A BUSY TWO DAY, SO HAVE MISSED

A DAY OF TELLING YOU MY THOUGHTS

AND Oak RIDGE HISTORY. YESTERDAY

WE HAD TO MAKE A TRIP TO HOME DEPOT

FOR A NEW FILTER FOR THE FRIDGE.

THEN KROGERS AND HOME. DOTTIE ARRIVED

SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT HOME SO SPENT

THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY VISITING

AND PLAYING WITH MAX. THAT MAKES

FOR A GREAT DAY.  TODAY WAS LAUNDRY

AND WORKING ON THE FILTER TO GET IT IN RIGHT.

OUR NEW NEIGHBOR, DAWN, CAME OVER AND

BETWEEN HER, TINA AND I WE GOT IT IN.

NOW LOOKING FOR THE “SET” BUTTON. I

JUST LOVE ALL THE NEW, EASY AND UPDATED

APPLIANCES.

WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY AS I REMEMBER

THE GOOD OLD ICE BOX!

AND NOW BACK TO THE BOOK: THE JAPANESE

SOON LEARNED THAT TENNESSEE WAS AT

WAR WITH THEM AS ON AUGUST 6, AND 9, 1945,

THE JAPANESE REALIZED UN A MOST DRAMATIC

MANNER THAT THEY DID INDEED HAVE

A WAR WITH TENNESSEE, AS WELL

AS THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES.

WITH ALL THE LOST LIVES AND DESTRUCTION

THE A-BOMB CAUSED IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE

THAT IT SAVED MANY, MANY, MORE TIMES

THAT AMOUNT OF LIVES. IN THE BUILDING

OF THE BOMB, STARTING WITH THE IDEA

AND ENDING WITH THE END OF THE WAR,

THE PROJECT PUT MANY PEOPLE TO WORK

DURING THE DEPRESSION. AND NO ONE KNEW

WHAT THEY WERE WORKING ON OR WHEN

THEIR PART WAS COMPLETED.

HAVE A SUPER POWERFUL, KIND, FUN,

INTERESTING, AND BLESSED DAY
