Monday, April 18, 2022 Cloudy Windy Chilly Rainy 54 degrees 4:04 p.m.

Woke up to rain this morning, and a chill in the air. the rain has pretty much stopped but who knows for how long? There is a dark cloud out there that looks like it could unload at any moment. But, April showers Bring May Flowers. We do love the flowers.

I hope all had a very happy and blessed Easter. We certainly did. Started the morning, bright and early with Charles Stanly’s Easter service on TV. He is very good and had an excellent message. At 10:30 I turned on West Park Baptist church and listened to their choir and Rev. Pulson. He was also good. the choir and music are very good. After Tina got home from work and we got things ready, off we went to Jerry & Tammy’s home for a Waster/Birthday gathering. It was Tammy’s birthday her son, daughter Mother and her Dad, were all there along with the puppy dogs, Murphy, Lacy, Finley and Max. We had a great time and lots of delicious food. Two cakes, a strawberry one and a red velvet one. That along with salmon, ham, potato salad, fresh green beans, rolls, mac and cheese, Caesar salad, and great company. It was a fun afternoon.

Bedtime is early this week as Tina has the morning shift, starting at 5:00 a.m. I do believe a 9 to 5 job would be great but his one seems to let each employee experience different shifts each week. It does make life a bit confusing , but interesting. She now knows most of the dogs who’s owners shop at Home Depot at every hour. Today was quiet for the most part. I had a knee doctor appointment this morning, then this afternoon my granddaughter and great grand children came for a short visit. It is always a fun time and a pleasure to see them. They are getting so big and growing so fast. Now it is getting towards supper time and time for me to go help.

Thursday, April 14, 2022 Sunshine, Windy Clear 67 Degrees 5:01 p.m.

A beautiful spring day. I woke up about 3:00 a.m. to the sound of heavy rain. It must of rained quite a bit as there were puddles everywhere outdoors when I got up at 7:00 a.m. I didn’t stay awake to listen to the beautiful sound of raindrops on the roof.

this morning we took Sierra to the vet. She likes her carrying case but not riding in the car. She was fine once we got in the examining room and she was let out of the case. She doesn’t like them looking at her gums, but other then that they could handle her. She had blood drawn, the fur clumps combed out and cut off her back, he back claws cut and she was a bit dehydrated so gave her a injection of water that will dispel over 24 hours. That was something new. They said that they would call tomorrow with the results of the blood test. She came home with us and both she and Milo seem to be happy she is home. We are. Right now she is curled up in her carrying case napping. Since she and Milo both like the carrying cases I think I might bring the other one in and let them use them.

Tina is at work and I am cleaning out the “sewing room” which is more or less a storage room where we seem to put anything we aren’t sure where to put.?. I sure can gather empty boxes of all sizes, shapes and colors. that is what I have gathered the most of so far. I am close to being finishes and will have all neat and tidy by bed time. Right now, it is close to dinner time and I need to go figure out just what I want for that meal.

Have a beautiful, sunny, happy, positive and fun rest of your day.

The Bluejays are enjoying dinner at the main bird feeder. They seem to be last years babies as they are young and playful, it seems. I believe all the summer birds are returning as we sure have had a variety today. So fun to watch.

Tomorrow Sierra goes to the vet to see what her problem is about not keeping her back clean. She is getting grouchy and also demanding so am curious to see what the vet has to say. I hope it is nothing serious and a simple hair cut and trim will do the trick. Also back claws trimmed.

Milo is fine and very busy watching all the activity going on outdoors. The birds and bugs and leaves, etc, There is a lot of movement. He hissed and had his fur up when the lady’s dog that lives in the next set of town homes came up to the door. The dog barked at Milo and Milo was in attack mood. There was a glass door between them so all were safe. It was funny, though. That same Town House got a new heat pump and they have been working at installing it for 5 days. They had to split it so ran new tubing and made new most everything. I guess it was quite a project. The ole one didn’t want to come out so that was a problem. Those town houses are three story so harder to get at everything.

The town house on the right of ours is for sale. It is 2 bedroom one and 1/s bath, 1500 sq ft. with some updating. They put in new carpet and new flooring and did a bit of painting. They want $188,300.00. Last year they wanted $179,500 for the same place and didn’t get it so I wonder if they will get it this year? The bedrooms and bath are upstairs. There is a garage and also a small fenced outdoor space. Anyone interested can put in 103 Golfcrest Lane, Oak Ridge, TN and see it on Zillo.

Tuesday, April 12, 2022 Cloudy, Thunder Storms Rainy 64 degrees 4:24 p.m.

Yesterday was cool, cloudy and a few showers. The day being Monday it was laundry day. Dinner, which Tina put in the crock pot was beef stew which was good but missing the Irish potatoes. There was sweet potatoes and some winter veggies in it.. Dottie came over and joined us for dinner, and took some quiche home with her as well as some stew. Tina made quiche also. That was this morning’s breakfast. it was good also.

Today she went to work and I cleaned up the house and finished a couple projects. Both cats have decided that today was the bug Sandy day and have pestered me all day long. They have “helped” me make the bed. Sat in the window and watched me do dishes, sat on the cell phone when it rang, laid on the keyboard when I needed the computer, and in general was everywhere I have been, wanting attention and treats.

Tina made a vet appointment for Sierra as she has not been able to keep her back groomed and won’t let either of us get the knots off her back. She isn’t eating much and seems to not like the cat food. So, of course, Milo follows suite as far as the eating goes. He also is right in the middle of everything. They are cute and I do so enjoy them except when I am trying to work on the computer or am on the phone. then I would like to turn them loose outdoors and let them play. they now don’t seem to interested in going outdoors. They might miss something.

We are supposed to have more thunder storms tonight so it will be another restless night if the thunder is as loud as it was last night and the lightening as bright as it was last night. I should say very early this morning! 1:35 A.M. was the first round.
