Monday, January 3, 2022 Cloudy Cold Still Snow flurries 34 degrees 4:58 p.m.

It is hard to believe that this is the 3rd day of the new year. Winter arrived yesterday with rain, wind and early this morning snow for most of Eastern Tennessee. We have had the rain and wind, but just snow flurries on and off all day. It is cold, that damp bone chilling cold. The windows were steamed up and the car had to be warmed up. The furnace came on at 67 degrees. Yep, it is winter. Brrrr!

The weekend was quiet around here. Ball Games and movies, reading and playing games. Nothing exciting. Since Tina had the early shift at

Home Depot we were in bed early. She asleep in her room by 8 and me in mine watching TV. By 9:30 I was out. I see the New Year came in without us watching. It did very well I think. Sunday was more of the same. Now it is Monday and the beds have been changed, and the buffet cleaned out. Two trips to Kroger’s, two trips to J.C. Penny’s and two trips to Xfinity. One trip to Korn’s. We got groceries at Kroger’s, got home and the bag of Cuties had several moldy ones in it as did the bag of potatoes so we had to take them back. The other two stores weren’t open and didn’t open until noon so had to go back. I guess they all thought they needed the morning off.

Jerry and Tammy got the snow but we didn’t. You know he didn’t go out and build a snowman. I just talked to Dottie and she said that she had enough snow that she had to shovel the snow off her porch in order for her to take the dog out. She is in Clinton which is about 28 miles from us.

That is my day and it has been a good one, Now, I will leave you with this bit of philosophy and wish you a great rest of the third day of the New Year.
