Monday, May 15, 2023 Cloudy Warm Breezy 76 Degrees 3:37 p.m.

A lovely day here in Oak Ridge, TN. Tina just called and said it was pouring in Knoxville. She is about 26 miles from here, so I imagine that we will get a downpour shortly. Right now the sun just peaked out and it looks lovely outside. I do have to say it is very muggy, humid, very heavy air. I was going to do laundry today but decided to wait until Wednesday when the humidity is low and the high pressure has moved in and the rain and such has moved out.

The weekend was lovely. Saturday we spend time doing odds and ends here at the house, then took a trip to Hobby Lobby and Kroger’s. Had a late lunch at Calhoun’s. Yes, we have the new stove but didn’t want to dirty it, and it was very warm so why heat the house when one doesn’t have to.???? Besides, we didn’t take anything out of the freezer and both were tired of salads.

Saturday morning we took Sierra to the vet as she has been very cranky and nearly mean. They called back with the blood test results and said that they came back just perfect. Now we have to watch what she eats and write it down and also what she drinks. This should be fun!!! She may be hurting someplace and trying to tell us. I guess next will be x-rays? i don’t know. She is an expensive cat.

Sunday was fun. We went to Jerry’s for a Mother’s Day Brunch. Tammie and he fixed a wonderful sausage egg casserole and the best blueberry breakfast cake. So good. They serve mimosa’s. Very nice. After eating we went outside in the back yard and played with the puppy and adult dogs. That is always fun. Dallas. the puppy, at 10 weeks old, weights 16.9 pounds. She is going to be a big girl very soon. Her fur is so soft and white and pretty. She enjoys hiding under the porch steps but soon she won’t be able to get under there. Jerry may have to block the entrance so she can’t get in there other wise she might just get stuck and they would have to tear out the steps to get her out. the other three have become more welcoming of her and Lacy and Murphy play with her. Finley still is not very welcoming. That will take time.

I hope that you had a wonderful Mother’ Day weekend and are enjoying a perfect Spring Monday. Make it a productive, gracious, positive, pleasant and fun day.
