Monday, April 15, 2024 Sunny Breezy Blue Sky Warm 85 Degrees 5:10 p.m.
I say warm because the house is only 72 degrees. No AC! I just love the warm, sunny weather. So nice after so many days of rain and wind and clouds. I understand they will be back the middle of the week.
Well, the weekend was wonderful. Our trip to Granville, Tennessee was absolutely grand. We had so much fun, saw so many things, met a lot of the characters from the I Love Lucy shows and the Andy Griffith Show. Saw the police cars, the jail, etc. We saw several skits from I Love Lucy and they were so funny. The actor and actress who played the parts were fantastic. There were lots of cars from that era as well as farm equipment, stores and buildings. Most were ones that belong there and people live in the houses and run the stores and restaurants, We weren’t crazy about the food as we just had hamburgers, but everything else was top drawer. We all had a good time and think it is well worth the trip there. It took about two hours to get there, but then, we stopped for donuts at a very good bakery, then saw where Tammy went to the University. So pretty, calming and nice. I do like the back roads for scenery.
The one shop that I went into and thoroughly enjoyed was the “Aunt Bees Farmhouse. There were quilts hanging and folded and laying. All different and all so pretty. There were packages of quilt pieces that you could buy and sew together yourself, as well as patterns and “beginner” packages for children. The layout was something. There were pin cushions and everything else that one might need for sewing. In one of the big back rooms were sewing machines, ready to sew. The owner held classes twice a week. i asked for a business card and the owner said that she was out of them at present but she is on the web if interested.
Sunday we just laid around. We both felt the amount of walking we did, but no complaints and am willing to go “walk again”. Dottie’s ankle was swollen so she is trying to get it healed and is staying off of it, she says. It was a fun day for sure.
Today I have had company. Pamela came over this morning and we played Scrabble. She beat me by 5 points, but we were tied for quite a while It was a fun game. That and making cards took up my whole day. Now it is dinner time so had better get at that. Tomorrow we will be in Knoxville and am not sure what time we will get home. Doctor appointments and Cosco.
Quote of the day: “It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.” Hildegard of Bingen, 1098 – 1179, German Nun, Christian Poet.
Have a wonderful rest of your Monday. Today is Tax day. Make Uncle Sam Happy and send him a greeting.
