A lovely fall morning in East Tennessee. We had a busy weekend. Saturday, after Tina got home from work, we went to Knoxville and met Jerry for lunch. Tammy was on her way to the stadium for the Vols and Gators game. We ate at a cute little place called Nick & Js. I had the best patty-melt I have had in many years. I like them but seldom order them as they are usually very greasy and sloppy. this one was perfect.

After visiting and eating we went our separate ways. Jerry home and Tina and I to Rooms To Go and looked at the sectional that we liked the week before. We sat in it, measured it, thought about it and finally decided that it was the one for us. There was a sale going on which we didn’t know about so the sectional was less expensive this Saturday then the last Saturday which made us very happy. the coffee table, end table and lamp were also on sale so we got the whole thing for less then what the sectional was the week before. We did take the floor model of the end table, coffee table and lamp, which helped. I could see nothing wrong with them and neither did Tina. They will be delivered Thursday.

After that, we went to Lens Crafter’s where Tina had an eye doctor appointment for computer glasses. AT her new job she needs them. While she did that I browsed through Skechers shoe store and then World Market. That store is so interesting with so many different things in it. I bought a tin of German Gingersnaps and they are so good. I mainly wanted the tin but love the cookies. I also bought a package of Black Jack gum and gave to Tina as it is licorice and Tina likes licorice. And two packages of Necco candies. I have always liked those so bought two as I know we won”t get back there anytime soon.

Sunday Tina went to work and enjoyed her last day at Home Depot. She said that she will miss her co-workers, customers, and petting all the dogs. But she won’t miss the pain in her back, hips, legs and feet. The rest of the day we just relaxed. Watched some of the shows we have recorded, played on the computer and basically did nothing. It was nice.

Now it is Monday and I am starting a new time for the blog. With Tina’s working hours being normal and evenings full with dinner, dishes, and some TV or whatever is going on, I decided that doing the blog in the morning was the best. I hope that you agree.

Have a great Monday morning. I hope that your day is filled with positivity, prosperity, pleasure and fun.

CORRECTION TO FRIDAY’S BLOG!

I said that the Tennessee Vols were playing the Georgia Gators. It is the Florida Gators. Please accept my apologizes.

Have a great weekend and “GO VOLS!“

A beautiful first day of Fall in East Tennessee. The temperature is 70 degrees and the time is 2:07 p.m. It is windy but clear blue skies and comfortable temperatures.

The majority of the people in this part of the state are all excited to have cooler weather for their Saturday Collage Football game. This is a big game, the Tennessee Vols verses the Georgia Gators. They are rivals and each team practices hard. Fans have tail-gate parties today and tomorrow, prior to the game. Businesses are decked out in Vols colors of Orange and White, sweaters, scarves, tee shirts, sweat shirts, etc. This is a bit deal. Tina wore her Vols shirt and white slacks to work today. I believe all the employees dressed appropriately for the occasion. they were having a BBQ for lunch, tail-gate theme. This is the volunteer state.

As for me, I am getting my blog out this afternoon early as when Tina gets home we have to go to Tractor Supply for dry cat food. These poor kittens are down to crumbs of their favorite food. We will probably go to Berks afterwards and see if they have the office stuff that Tina is looking for. Maybe even 5 Below. I invited Tammy and Jerry to go to Tractor Supply with us, but they declined saying they were busy. He also said LOL. Tammy has to take her son groceries as he is not feeling well, and Finley had a vet’s appointment for a check-up. Jerry said he had a doctor’s appointment and also had things to do around the hours. I just don’t understand why they didn’t want to go cat food shopping.????

Now I need to get back to my household duties.

Have a great rest of your Friday and a spectacularly glorious weekend. Make all safe, healthy, friendly, cheerful and fun.

Thursday, September 22, 2022 Mostly sunny Breezy Nice 77 degrees 6:16 p.m.

Fall will start here in close to three hours. but it has been perfect day. We started out quite warm, then, the afternoon has brought cooler temperatures. The weatherman said that we should be in the 40’s or 50’s tonight. So nice. Welcome Fall!

I have been busy working to restructure our craft room/office. We are looking at a sectional or a couch so, if we do purchase one, we need the perfect place to place it. I have found a few things that we have been looking for, have thrown a few things that needed to of gone a long time ago, and put thing back where they belonged. Once I get measurement I will use painter’s tape to mark out the space on the floor. No more buying a piece of furniture, get it home and find out it really doesn’t fit. We have done that too many times.

Yesterday, when Tina got home, we went to Hobby Lobby as she is looking for “cute things” to go in her cubical at work. I guess everyone has theirs decorated. She wants the stapler, tape dispenser , all pretty or in animal shape, etc. It will be fun to see what she comes up with. She said that they have pictures of family, pets, scenery, church things, etc. She is going to put up pictures of all her favorite dogs and cats. Our pets will be famous!

I have inherited the cooking since she went to work days. Tonight we had hamburger patties, mac and cheese and broccoli. It turned out really good and she ate two hamburgers. They weren’t large but sort of fat. There is strawberry jello with fresh strawberries in it for dessert. I think they have a tailgate party at work tomorrow as Saturday the Vols play the Gators football. I guess it will be a biggie.

Mayor Bill’s cruse has been cancelled due to the hurricane that is headed to Canada and the places they were sailing to. That is sad as they were so looking forward to this trip. Better safe then sorry.

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a safe, healthy, gleeful and fun day.
