THE FAMILY TURKEY ENJOYING A SUMMER AFTERNOON
Thursday, July 29, 2021 Smokey Sunny 96 degrees No breeze Humid 5:26 p.m.
I am watching the bird nest in the hanging flower basket. Mommy bird just flew in to feed the baby. Daddy bird is close by, watching all that goes on. there isn’t anything going on as it is to hot. All the other birds are hiding as there is none in site, No Squirrel, No Chipmunk, No Lizard.
Oak Ridge is soon to have three new stores opening. Old Navy, Home Goods and Down Under. So many are excited about the new stores as the closes ones were in Knoxville which is about 28 miles away. I know these stores won’t be as big as the ones in Knoxville but they will probably bring in things that are most sought after, especially school items and household items not normally found at Walmart. School started here this week and tomorrow starts the no taxes on school items, so the stores, if open, will do a big business. I am not sure, but I think I saw that Old Navy is open. The stores are thrilled with the business as some were closed during the pandemic and others were barely open.
I am so amazed that the schools are starting. It is still July! I watched the school bus drive the kids all the way up to their house this afternoon. I believe it is because of the heat. That is pretty nice I think, The kids that I have talked to are ready to go back to school. they missed so much during the pandemic and are ready to be with their friends and teachers and the activities. Several are still being home schooled.
Time to prepare dinner at out house. Have a great evening and be safe and healthy.
