A partly sunny afternoon after a cloudy morning. So nice to see the sun. A bit cooler today with a high of 63 and a low of 49. This week will be cooler then last, but will still have its’ ups and downs. We are to be down in the 30’s tonight. Not bad as it is still March. Maybe it will warm up and March will go out like a lamb.
We had a busy weekend, and a good weekend. Tina spent a lot of time cleaning and filling bird feeders on Sunday afternoon. Today both are empty. The cow birds eat everything, and they come in droves. Tina went on line and also talked to natives and sound out that 1. they like bird feeders that have wide rims for them to sit on. 2. They don’t like the black bird deed, called oil seed. So this weekend we will put up the bird feeders that have the slim little bar for the birds to perch on and the half dollar size hole for them to get the food out. by then the cowbirds should be gone. Charles hasn’t filled his feeder again and Bill has the oil seed in his.
Saturday, Tina and I went to “The Apple Tea Room” for lunch. It was cute, charming and food not bad. The walls showed hand made quilts, pictures of ladies having tea probably in the 30’s and lots of small, memorabilia such as jewelry, nick knacks, lamps, pictures, etc. Some of the tables had a teapot lamp that was so cute. It was a fun experience. We had a sandwich then a slice of Apple Cake with vanilla ice cream.
After leaving there we went to a consignment shop and looked around. they had some very nice things and well displayed. The clothes were nice and mostly name brands such as Chico’s and NYC. It was fun to browse through.
After that it was time to tend to business so we went to Publix’s and did our grocery shopping. I enjoy that store as it is well laid out, the aisles are wide and everything is displayed nicely. The prices are comparable to Kroger’s and even Walmart. It is a shame that it is in Farragut and not in Oak Ridge.
Yesterday was laundry day. I got it all done, dinner prepared and had company on and off. I got in bed last night, woke up sometime around 3:00 a.m. and realized that I hadn’t don my blog! I wasn’t about to get up and do it at that time.
Today I have been busy with paperwork and on the phone. My sister-in-law called and tole me that her son passed away this morning. He was very sick, and I think he might of had that terrible flu that some have gotten. He also had diabetics. I feel so bad for her. Loosing a loved one is always hard, but loosing you child is at least doubly so. She asked that we please keep her and the rest of her family in our prayers.
Today, my youngest son’s grandson turned 3 years old. he is a cute, ambitious little guy so know that he will have a fun birthday. Happy Birthday Preston!
Quote of the day: “PRICELESS GIFTS TO GIVE FOR FREE” “The gift of affection: Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and handholds. let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.” My Calendar
Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a cheerful, kind, charitable and fun day. Please remember all those who have experienced the loss of loved ones, homes, businesses, schools, churches, etc. This country has experienced a very heart wrenching past week, weekend, and start of this week.
