Friday, December 29, 2023 Cloudy Looks like SNOW Cold 41 Degrees 4:37 p.m.

This morning, when Tina called on her break, around 10:00 a.m., West Knoxville was seeing flurries. As far as I know we haven’t seen flurries or even rain. It has just been a cold, gray day with occasionally a good breeze. Maybe snow tonight, at least flurries.

The redheaded woodpecker has been here on and off all day, eating out of both bird feeders. He has two smaller friends who seem to come and dine with him. He at one feeder and they at the other. I can’t wait to get the new bird feeder up so I can tell what kind of bird and all that goes with it. Pictures and live action. I’ll have to get fancy bird feed to entice all the birds.

Today I washed all the Christmas clothes, towels, throws, etc. and have them ready to pack away until next December. I have the stuffed animals ready to be packed until then also. Still have a million things to pack and the tree to UN-decorate and take apart and put in its bag. Plus the small tree to do the same with. I am not sure that I am ready for all the undoing as I have barely had time to sit back and enjoy all the pretty decorations. No time to stop and smell the Christmas roses.

This is my last blog of 2023. It has been a busy year, an interesting year, and a productive year. We have be able to get four new windows, tow in the master bedroom and one in each of the other bedrooms. We got new screens for the four windows in the living room. And the “sewing room” repaired and painted, waiting for the new floors to come in. We have been to two stage plays, see the Christian comedian, took in a couple of movies, and took a quick trip to Kansas. While Jeff and Nanette were here we went to ‘The Mint” Casino in Williamsburg, Kentucky, the to the Amish Welcoming Center for a good lunch and where Tina bought 12 jars of Toe Jam plus two or three other kinds of jam. They truly have the best jam. And we went to Dollywood. So fun. I have completed writing two Story Worth books and am about to embark on another one. (My granddaughter is so good to me and has given me this gift so I can write about what ever subject she gives me.) I love it. All in all, a great year.

Have a great rest of your Friday. Make it a safe, happy, healthy, pleasurable, and fun day.

Happy New Year. Celebrate safely and I will look forward to “chatting” with you again, on Tuesday, January 2, 2023
