Thursday, February 29, 2024 Cloudy Still Chilly – Cold 47 Degrees 4:02 p.m.
The sun was out a bit this morning for awhile. then slowly the clouds sneaked in, very gradually, and our high temperature of 47 is all we will get today. it will be going down slowly while the clouds get grayer and the chance of rain gets closer. The weatherman said possibility of rain tonight through tomorrow morning, then again tomorrow night through Saturday morning. We will probably miss the Growl Parade as who wants to stand in the rain and watch a large group of costumed, wet and unhappy pups drag their people down the street in Old Knoxville?… However, I do hope they make good money as the proceeds go to the animal shelters here. I believe it is $20.00 to enter your dog in the parade. Or else you pay $20.00 when you get to the World Fair Park. I am not sure which.
Now I would be willing to pay $20.00 if Jerry and Tammy were entering their furry family in the parade. That would make the whole thing well worth the drive, the parking, the walking, etc. What a video that would make. Yes, I am on the dogs side.
I haven’t accomplished much today. I have been busy though. I was making cards this morning when Bill came over to get his mail. He sat and visited for a bit. Then I was back at making cards when I had to call Dottie with a message. Back to the cards when I got a text from Tina, reminding me that my phone went straight to voice mail. So I turned it off, the waited a few minutes and turned it back on. After doing that for nearly half an hour it finally decided I could make calls. So I returned Jimmy’s call. He had sent me a picture of their home that they had painted. It looks very nice. An improvement for sure. And they have flowers galore. Very pretty. other then that nothing new there. The weather had been bad there also, on and off, wind and rain. The weeds were growing well he said. Nicole wouldn’t let him use weed killer because it would kill all the flowers.
The TV’s haven’t worked well today. We keep getting “No Signal” so I am thinking it is the company. The phones work and so far the computers are working. Tina said they had problems with phones at work. It seems theirs were fine but a lot of the people calling in were having problems. I am blaming the weather.
Pamela came over this afternoon. Her dad’s Ha-vac wasn’t working so it was 58 in his house. She came over to visit and get warm. He had the repair man there this afternoon. I hope that he was able to get it going again. Pamela left there to meet her husband for a movie and dinner. She had the day off and he goes in to work very early so they can do a movie and dinner and still be home in time to enjoy the evening with the dogs and cat.
Today would of been my husband, James L. Walters, Sr.’s 96th birthday. He has been gone 21 years now. And our good friend, Verlie Doing, who’s birthday was today also, would of been 100. Happy Heavenly birthday to them both. They are missed.
