Thursday. April 13, 2023 Mostly cloudy Warm Still Beautiful 77 Degrees 3:37 p.m.
Tuesday I was in Knoxville all day. by the time I got home it was eat dinner, watch a bit of TV and head for bed. Dottie and I shopped at Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Both big stores and I am sure we walked every inch of each of them. Hobby Lobby had some great sales on Waster things. I got two towels and a kitchen tool set. Dottie got some things also. They were all 60% off.
Walmart also had Easter things on sale but not much left there. Mostly baskets. There I got an address book that Joe asked for and a notebook and pencils. Also two chicken pot pies for dinner as I knew we wouldn’t want to cook when we got home.
Yesterday I was busy doing research and writing one of my stories that was two weeks past due. That took all day. Then I had to fix dinner which was chicken breast, vermicelli in a garlic cream sauce, fresh spinach, and ice tea. It was good. Tina was in bed by 7:00 p.m and I made it by 9:00 p.m. We both slept well last night. I think we hadn’t slept well the two previous nights because 1. we had a slice of carrot cake prior to going to bed and 2 it was really warm upstairs. Fans are now on and it feels nice up there. The downstairs stays quite cool all day long but the upstairs gets very warm when the sun is shining and the temperature is close to 80 or above.
Today has been busy. I wrote last weeks story, visited with Julie, did a bit of cleaning and am now at my blog. When Tina gets home we are taking three window screens to Ace Hardware in Clinton to have the screen replaced. they charge $ 5.00 per window. Then I will have to get the windows washed before they get put back up. It is nice having them off as it makes it easy to watch the birds.
The squirrel that lives around here was out and about this morning. Shadow, the German shepherd, was out walking his master. He spied the squirrel and off he took. His master was just moseying along, enjoying the warm air and gazing at everyone’s yard when the dog took off. He had to stretch those legs and run to keep up with the dog, who was pulling hard at the leash. A little while later the two guys, (father and son) who live in the next building came walking their two dogs, a Jack Russel terrier and a “hush puppy” type dog. They spied the squirrel who was scampering across the grass, right in front of them. Off they go with their master flying behind them. What a great morning’s entertainment!
Quote of the day: “Kitchen Rules! 1. If a messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, my kitchen is delirious. 2. A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole kitchen. 3. Countless people have eaten in this kitchen…and gone on to lead normal lives.” My calendar
Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. Make it a thankful, thriving, thrifty, and fun day.
