A BIT OF FLOODING IN OAK RIDGE, TN

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 Water, Water every where. A sunny day after the rain stopped and the clouds moved out. Now it is sunny, 59 degrees and 5:55 p.m. The weatherman says that the rain will return tonight and continue into tomorrow. Our low was 56 degrees and our high was 65 degrees. No where near normal.

The water came up to the front door but stopped an inch before entering. We are so thankful. There is more rain on the way and the puddles haven’t totally dissipated but it is much better then it was this morning. The rain will be late tonight into tomorrow morning. Then more again on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. February is going out like a fish.

Today was laundry day, and I got it all done. That entails several trips up and down the stairs. I love when it is all washed, dried, folded or hung and put away. There is something nice about seeing empty dirty clothes baskets empty. One day I need to put up the ironing board and dig out the iron and press some clothes as well as doilies and such. It is something that I know is waiting for me to do. It is patient and just quietly hides and waits.

I am reading a book called “BULL COOK and AUTNENTIC HISTORICAL RECIPES and PRACTICES” by George Leonare Herter and Berthe E. Herter. It is filled with recipes from all around the united states including many of the Indian tribes. Some sound wonderful and some sound scary. The stories are great, funny, interesting and sometimes sad. I have tried a couple of the easier ones and they aren’t to bad. Of course, it is hard to ruin toast.

Time to get dinner going. Tina will be home shortly and I am sure hungry. She is now a full time employee and that makes for a long day. Also, not much of a chance to snack. dinner will be appreciated.

Have a wonderful rest of your day. Make it a busy, industries, profitable, pleasant and fun day.
