Friday, May 6, 2022 Rain, Thunder, Lighting, Wind, 71 degrees 4:55 p.m.

A wild weather day here in East Tennessee. We have has some Southern Nevada winds that are a bit unusual for here. Lots of rain that came down very fast. Thunder that shook up the buildings and lightening that lit up the rooms. The rain and all would stop and it would look like it is clearing up, then here it comes again.!

We went to the grocery store early this morning, between storms, and got cat food. We were out and there is no living with cats that don’t have food. Actually, we were out of canned cat food. they have plenty of dry food so they wouldn’t starve. They are accustomed to breakfast between 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M. and dinner between 6:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. and sort of bug us if they think we might of forgotten. You know the old saying, ” Dogs have Masters, Cats have Staff”.

Our next outing was a trip to the doctor’s office so Tina could get an e-ray of her knee and hip. She fell about three weeks ago. She thought nothing of it and believed that she was just sore and it would go away. The pain has gotten worse and she is now using a cane most of the time. So we went in to see about it. We will probably not hear until Monday as the doctor’s office and staff leave early on Fridays. I am not sure if the z-ray tecnition who reads the x-rays was there today or not. Monday will be just fine.

Have a wonderful rest of your Friday and a glorious weekend. Happy Mother’s day to all you special ladies.

Thursday, May 5, 2022 Partly Cloudy Still 81 degrees 4:52 p.m.

This has been another beautiful day. I love seeing all the flowers, the trees, the green grass and the birds. To see the people out walking their dogs and kids outside playing ball, riding their bikes and jumping rope. Now is the time people are arriving home from work and the evening begins. Lawns being mowed, the patios being utilized with people sitting enjoying the evening with their families.

Today is CINCO DE MAYO AND tacos are on the menu all over. Tina and I went to Brullo’s for lunch and it was wonderful. They have the best guacamole. I After a great meal we left and came home. she had to go to work at 2:00 p.m. so no time to goof off. We had been to Home Depot to get the rest of the bricks to go around the dogwood tree. And a couple of plants.

Pamela came over this afternoon and we played Yahtzee. She one one game and I won five. Last time we played she won 5 and I won one. It is all in the roll of the dice.

Wednesday, May 4, 2022 Beautiful Sunshine Breezy No Clouds 82 degrees 4:37 p.m.

I am amazed at all the flowers that grow and bloom, wild, here in Tennessee. In Nevada, if we planted tulips or any bulb flower they would have to be dug up and brought in for the winter. Here they all grow wild, and if you plant them, you leave them and they come up the next year all by themselves. there are many houses around here that have iris, daffodils, tulips and other flowers planted around their mail boxes . They look well cared for and are so attractive.

That goes along with all the beautiful birds that we have here, visiting the bird feeders and nesting in the trees and planters. Besides the cardinals, bluejays, mourning doves, I saw an indigo bunting the other day. so pretty. There are so many different types of swallows that are here dinning at the feeders that I can’t name them all. Also numerous different types of sparrows and warblers. 19 of them, each different and each pretty. All of them sing beautifully.

Beings today is the middle of the week, I have done odds and ends tasks around here. I went out and swept the carport as it was a mess from the trees across the turnpike blowing all the pollen, leaves and what have you over. It looks much better now.

Have a great rest of your hump day. Make it happy, cheerful, joyous, playful and fun.

Tuesday, May 3, 2022 Partly Cloudy Windy chance of late thunder storm 83 degrees 5:27 p.m.

A good day, a bit on the windy side, but all in all very nice. I had a doctor’s appointment with the cardiologist first thing this morning. After wearing the monitor for a month he found nothing to get excited about. He said I have high blood pressure so has given me a new, very low dose half a pill a day med. He wants me to monitor my blood pressure for the next three months and see how that pill does in lowering it. I can do that. I Hope. I get busy and forget it take it.

Spent the afternoon going through some pictures I have so many and now is the time to go through them and see what I have that can go to someone or something. I went through a stack from the 2006 Museum Guild’s Searchlight Birthday party. That was fun. I tried to write down who was in each picture and ended up having to go through old church records, and obits for some of the names. It is sad when you forget the names of people you knew or know and know the face but can’t remember their names.

It is a quiet neighborhood today. Tina is at work, some have been out walking their dogs, the birds aren’t out to much as it is really windy and the bird feeders are swaying a bit to much for them. Even the squirrel hasn’t been out checking the food source.

Today is Bam Bam Barberena’s birthday. We wish him a very Happy Birthday and many more.
