Tuesday, September 6, 2022 Cloudy Rain Coming Warm 86 Degrees 4:27 p.m.

Hello, Day after Labor Day! Is all rested from their laboring three day weekend? I hope all had a great three days and feel ready to work at getting ready for the next holiday, which is September 11ht. that is Patriot Day and also Grandparents Day. Be sure and take notice of those dates, especially the Grandparents day. That is important, especially to grandparents.

Our weekend was good. Yesterday was very rainy but nice. We met Jerry, Tammy and Dottie at D&B’s for hot dogs and hamburgers and ice cream. ow is that for being American?! They have the best hot dogs and it is active and fun in there. We did watch them labor, fixing all the hamburgers and hot dogs, etc. Always so nice and helpful and polite. The BBQ had been a thought but with all the rain it seemed a pointless idea. This was much better. Good Food and No Clean-up Mess. I do feel bad for the dogs as I know that they missed getting their share of a hot dog and hamburger.

Sunday evening we had dinner with Bill and Sharon. A turkey dinner and it was scrumptious. It is so nice to go out to dinner at a home with a wonderful home cooked meal and great company. Both Tina and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Saturday, as I remember, we didn’t do much at all. Tina worked. The evening was spotty rain showers and TV. Early bedtime.

Now the week is shaping up to be a busy one with projects needing to be completed and birthday cards to get out. There is always something that needs doing. Today I put a roast and veggies in the crock pot so that dinner is ready. I also got two get well e-cards sent before breakfast. That is a good start for me.

Have a fabulous rest of your Tuesday, Make it a cheerful, prosperous, healthy, safe and fun day.

Friday, September 2, 2022 Cloudy Slight Breeze Rain? 87 Degrees 5:46 p.m.

The weatherman said that we would probably have some rain and maybe even thunder shower this weekend. I think he might just be correct. It looks like it and even feels like it. The humidity is back.

A busy day around here. Tina went for another interview this morning. She said it was good and is back on the wait and see agenda. they say it takes a long time to get through all the interviews and such and I think they are correct in that.

After she got home and changed we went to Clinton and met Dottie at Apple Blossom’s Cafe for lunch. That is one busy place. The food is great as is the service. Prices are good also.

After leaving there, we stopped in at the little gift shop nest door and looked around. We weren’t impressed. they had a lot of stuff, hand made and some of it was nice, some cut and a lot a bit “Off Color”. We were put off by that. I just don’t get the vulgar prints and carvings on everything.

Then we stopped at a cute little shop named “Southern Gossip”. they had the nicest things, mostly hand made and local artists. They had clothes, some furniture, shoes, soaps and lotions, baby items, etc. All neat and clean and fun. So fun.. The ladies were so nice and friendly and helpful. I am sure we will go back there again for gifts as well as stuff for ourselves.

Now we are home and getting ready for dinner and the news. Dinner is more of a snack then a meal as neither of us are hungry. Wishing you a very safe, happy, healthy and fun rest of your Friday and all weekend.

Blessings and Happy Labor Day!

Thursday, September 1, 2022 Sunny Breezy Warm 88 Degrees 5:10 p.m.

The 244th day of the 9th month of the 2,022 year. There are 121 days left in this year. Make each of them happy, adventurous, productive, positive and meaningful.

For my birthday I received an emergency light to put in the upstairs hallway. Of course I plugged it in and found out that it is also a motion detector light. That is great as if one gets up during the night the light comes on and one can see where they are going and where a cat might be laying. That is awesome! Milo thinks this is the greatest thing since catnip treats. He thinks this light is a new toy and enjoys walking in front of it to make it come on. So he goes prancing in front of it one way, waits for it to go off, then prances in front of it going the other way. This goes on for a little while. Sierra is watching and finally thinks maybe this is a new form of exercise, so she proceeds to walk in front of it and the light goes on. She waits for it to go off and retraces her steps. Such fun. She finally goes and lays down. Milo comes back and proceeds to sit in front of the light, like he is looking in a mirror. He faces it for a few moments, then turns his back to it and sits for a few moments. He then walks away. Sierra thinks that maybe she should do that also and proceeds to do the same thing.

While Sierra is basking in the emergency light Milo discovers that the light shines on the TV in my bedroom so he jumps up there and paws at it, then looks out my window and see that the light is reflecting onto the dome skylights that are located on the roof just outside my window. He can’t figure out how to get at them, but Sierra is now finished with her light basking and jumps up to join him. They finally both leave and I am wondering if the light draws all the outdoor creatures for the on and off show. The deer, the raccoons, the fox, etc. I do hope they all enjoy it. these two fur balls do.

Correction to yesterday’s blog. It is Biltmore, not Buildmore. I will have more to say about this when I learn more.

Quote of the day: Singing lifts our spirits. It’s just plain good for us. Whether we sing with trained voices that bring thundering applause or off-key screeching, by the time our songs of praise reach heaven they are all equally beautiful. My calendar.

Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. Make the day a coco a cola, hot dog, apple pie kind of day!
