Friday, September 20, 2022 Sunny Breezy Rain due tonight 51 degrees 9:07 a.m.

The sectional arrived around 9:15 yesterday. the rest of the day was spent getting the room back in order and workable. It really looks quite nice and is now comfortable. I worked hard yesterday so am going to take it a little easy today.

I am going shopping for a dress to wear to Jerry and Tammy’s wedding. Dottie is coming over to pick me up and off the the “mall” we shall go. I am planning on a fun few hours dress shopping, lunch and just enjoying visiting with Dottie.

Tina is looking forward to her first weekend off. She ha so much she plans on doing that I think she will need a month of weekends, but I know that maybe a tenth of it will get accomplished. I think the fall decorating will get done. The rest will wait for awhile. I know she will make some bread.

Have to get ready to go as Dottie will be here shortly. I want to get the breakfast dishes done and make sure the cats have dry cat food in their dispenser. Milo is bugging me so I think that might be his problem.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. Make both spectacular, adventurous, interesting, kind, and fun.

Thursday, September 29, 2022 Sunny Windy Cool 59 Degrees 10:29 a.m.

A short blog today as I have a living room to put back together. the sectional arrived this morning so now have to put everything in place and all that goes with it. it is beautiful and comfy. Room for visitors to sit and us to be comfy in there. That is once I get the room back in order.

Went shopping last evening for cat treats and a three way light bulb. We found the cat treats wit no problem. the light bulb was like going on a treasure hunt. One would think Walmart would have that light bulb. I looked and looked. Found light bulbs that I had never heard of before. I finally found a clerk who was very glad to help me. We both looked and looked but found everything but a 3 way light bulb. His computer said that they had them. They had a lot of “smart light bulbs” that you can manage with your computer, clapping your hands and using your phone. No 3 way! So off we went.

Our nest stop was Home Depot. Tina waited in the car and I ran in as I was sure it would only take a couple of minutes. Well they have many more light bulbs then Walmart. Brands I had never heard of and all sort of “Smart Bulbs”. I finally decided that one needs a collage degree to go out and buy a light bulb. I finally found a 3 way light bulb. It is a ECOSMART, LED, soft white one that is supposed to last 13 years. By then they probably won’t have light bulbs!

Now for my Quote of the day: “Your if, is the only peace-maker – Much virtue in it.” Shakespeare

Have a wonderful Thursday. Make it a wholesome, industrious, energetic and fun day.

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 Sunny Slight Breeze 54 Degrees 10:28 a.m.

We have a nice, quiet, sunny, chilly day that will turn into a nice quite sunny warmer day by afternoon. We work up to frost on the grass and 41 degrees. Now, at 10:28 it is 54 degrees and so pretty outside. I know the afternoon will be lovely. I believe we will have a couple more nice, sunny and cool days before the rain from hurricane Ian arrives. We will have an indoor weekend, decorating for fall and enjoying the rain, I hope.

I have been busy cleaning out drawers and getting rid of all the stuff we just dump in a drawer to get it out of the way. I found adds for May and June that should of gone in the trash and not is a drawer. Not even ones we would save because we could use them or would want to check them out. So dumb. I went through a box I had stuck in the closet when we moved in. In there I found adds from when we lived in Gardnerville. NV. Most of that box went in the shredder or garbage. That freed up some space. I will eventually get through everything. What a day that will be.

Today I am going to do some laundry and ironing. The dresser scarfs and doilies are in need of ironing and the sweaters and vests, etc need to be freshened up for the fall and winter.

I have four crochet angles that Cora Jepsen made for me. They need to be washed and starched. I am afraid to wash them because I don’t know if I can get them starched as stiff as she did. I want them to stand up like they do now. I also want them clean. I have found faultless starch extra strong so hope that it will work. I am afraid to start this task, but they are in need of cleaning and I have no idea where to take them to get that done. The cleaners here won’t touch them. I am so open to ideas or places where they might do this task properly and with know how. They are so pretty and I don’t want to ruin them.

Time to get busy. Quote of the day: ” People don’t care how much you know. they just need to know you care”. My calendar

Have a wonderful, cheerful, productive, terrific and fun Tuesday.

Tuesday, September 27, 2022 Sunny, Cool, breezy, beautiful, 48 degrees 9:17 a.m.

There is a fall chill in the air this morning. The kids had on jackets as they walked to the bus, and the people being walked by their dogs had on sweaters and jackets. Yes, Fall is upon us. The leaves are slowly starting to change color. I know that up in the Smokies the trees are being decorated in their fall colors. So pretty to see and to watch.

The animals are busy gathering their winter food and preparing to be ready for a long winter’s nap. The squirrel is very busy raiding the bird feeders and gathering all for winter. he is having problems getting into the feeders so he shakes the posts or limbs holding them until the seeds fall out. He is so ambitious and knowledgeable as to how to get what he wants. The chipmunks are equally as wise. they wait for the squirrel to shake the seeds down, then they run over and stuff their cheeks full and take off, back to their home. I think they live under Mayor Bills house somewhere. He says that they don’t but I see them go under by his living room window.

I have never seen a state, even Texas, be so enthusiastic over their football teams. The businesses back them, the schools back them, the hospitals and nursing homes,; The citizens are all rooting for them. Everything is Orange and White, clothing, shoes, table cloths, curtains, you name it. Dog outfits are all pro the VOLS and so cute. The excitement is contagious and the talk is all about the games, past, present and future. When Tina got home from work yesterday we went and had our nails done. The talk in there was all about the game on Saturday and the win and the next game this coming Saturday. Nails are orange and white checked, striped or with footballs or helmets painted on them. So cute. I still need to get a shirt.

Quote of the day: ” A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand”. My calendar. I approve of that diet.

Have a day filled with smiles, laughter and prosperity.
