Friday, March 4, 2022 Sunny A few high clouds Slight breeze 76 degrees 4:42 p.m.

Another glorious per-spring day here in Oak Ridge. So nice outdoors, a day for a stroll through the park. It sounds good, but we are waiting for someone to come and look at the roof. so, we are home. Tina has cleaned off the car port and at the moment it is leaf free. Looks nice. Hope it lasts a while.

Today was laundry day and now that is done for another week or so. Now to think about dinner and watching TV for a bit. I have some reading to do so think I will retire early and read. There is nothing like a good book to spend the evening with.

My report of the war last night proved to be wrong this morning. That is such a scary picture with the rockets flying and so close to the nuclear plant. While he is busy destroying the Ukraine, I wonder if he has thought about the probability of destroying his country and himself? Yes, I know that he has no conscious and could care less about human life. Maybe he isn’t human?

Mayor Bill is installing a new screen door. I think that is great. Ours is all glass and I sometimes wish it was half glass and half screen so we could open it and get fresh air in without the bugs. One day, maybe.

Have a great rest of you r Friday and a fantastic weekend. Make them Cheerful, adventurous, relaxing and fun.

Thursday, March 3, 2022 Breezy Clear No Clouds 77 degrees 4:59 p.m.

Such a beautiful day to be outside in the yard, pulling a few weeds and cleaning the car port, ridding it of the leaves that have blown in from across the turnpike or other trees in our area. The breeze is pretty stiff right now so will probably find more leaves in the car port in the morning. We will enjoy sweeping them up and discarding them as it is to be as warm tomorrow. And it is still winter!

Heard on the news this morning that some of President P;s tanks went joy riding instead of crashing into the city they are supposed to take over. And some of the soldiers refused to kill some of the Ukrainian army so just ignored them. What a mess. I hope and pray that this will end swiftly and as peacefully as possible. I dislike hearing the news because it is all that and I can’t do anything about it but pray.

Since spring is just around the corner, I am starting the spring cleaning. I cleaned out my closet today and have a big bag to go to Karns. That is an accomplishment.. Milo and Sierra helped and seemed to enjoy the task. Will have to see what I can accomplish tomorrow. Now it is dinner time so to the kitchen I must go,

Remember, it’s never to late to be who you might have been. (George Eliot 1819 – 1880)

Have a great rest of your day. Make it beautiful, cheerful and fun.

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 Setting Sun Blue skies, 70 Degrees 6:11 p.m.

Today was so warm and nice. Being outdoors was invigorating. The birds are building nests in the Cedar (Bird Condo) and one can tell spring is right around the corner. Diana is starting her garden and Bryan is training for his upcoming fight towards the end of the month. All is good.

Not a lot of news around here. Both Tina and I went to the “back doctor this afternoon. Her a follow=up after the shots he out in. Mine was a followup from the shots he put in in November. We both are going to have to have them again. they work until we feel fine and go do something silly,, like rearrange the furniture. (me) and she derided to paint the inside of the upper kitchen cabinets. This time I will work harder at behaving myself.

Dinner was good this evening. Crackpot cube steak with rice, gravy and french cut green beans. A simple meal but filling and very tasty. Desert will be strawberry short cake, using angel food cake. Water to drink. After desert I will do the dishes. Tina did the cooking so I will do the dishes.

The house is clean so I do believe tomorrow will be laundry day. It will be the first day that I am home all day and that is important in order to get it all done, washed, dried and put away. Oh, the excitement of it all.

Have a great rest of you Wednesday. Make it a prosperous, productive, pleasant, and fun day.

Remember, Life is a blank canvas; throw all the paint on it that you can. (Danny Kaye…1913-1987)

Tuesday, March 1, 2022 Sunny, Windy Blue Skies 64 degrees 5:08 p.m.

A beautiful day for March 1st. True, it came in with the wind blowing, but the sun is shining and nary a cloud in the sky. People are out walking their dogs and the birds have been flying around, singing and enjoying the beautiful weather. The nice weatherman is saying that today is the meteorological first day of spring. But it is still winter. Are high by Sunday will be 75 degrees. Possibly rain on Monday.

Today, I believe is Fat Tuesday. It is also called Pancake day. It is the last day before Ash Wednesday. The Marti Grass is a French holiday and celebrated here in the United States, mostly in New Orleans with a big parade It is defiantly party time there. They bake a cake with a plastic baby inside it.

We had an early dinner before Tina went to work, Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes gravy corn (her favorite) and for desert, a cookie. Next, for me, is a lite meal, probably a sandwich and some fruit. Her hours are so mixed up we can’t have a normal dinner time, so we try to eat between noon and 3 p.m. with just a lite snack in the evening. Today we ate at 11:00 so my snack might be a bit more then normal. What ever normal is.

There really isn’t much news around here so I had better go feed the starving cats. One would think that they hadn’t eaten for days, but they have dry food in their feeder at all times as well as water. they get treats once or twice during the day and breakfast and dinner so know they are not starving. I guess eating is a habit with them.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a bright, shining, energetic, playful and fun day.
