Friday, April 26, 2024 Cloudy Rainy Still Chilly 58 Degrees 4:00 p.m.
A quiet day. We have had showers on and off all day so not a lot of birds and squirrels out and about. Sierra is sitting and watching…… and waiting…….! Not even a dog walking by with a person, on a leash. I guess pee pads are used when the weather is inclement.
It is Friday and the start of the weekend for most folks. We are supposed to have a nice and warm weekend, with the temperature in the 80’s to keep us warm. There are all sorts of activities going on all around East Tennessee. So many Farmer’s Markets starting up. i think we might visit the one here in Oak Ridge. Then there is a few places or organizations holding fund raisers for different causes. One is for feeding the people of Heidi’s who are recovering from the devastating, I believe, earthquake. There has been so many natural disasters all over the world that I can’t keep up with them all. I do know that there are several fund raisers going on, from car washes to craft sales, etc. The Empty Cup Coffee Place in Knoxville gives all their proceeds, after expenses, towards helping the homeless find places to live and helps with furniture, food, etc. This is the Volunteer State, and it is true, most people volunteer when they can with what they can.
Our weekend plans are a quick trip to Knoxville, then to do some project around the house. Monday we have the people coming to clean the vents so want to have everything out of the way for them. I am not exactly sure just what they do, but I am assuming they go through each vent. More on that Monday, after they are done.
Quote of the day: “By putting the gift of yearning for God into every human being’s heart, God”s at the same time draws all people made in God’s image to God’s self and into their own true selves.” Robert Bondi, Contemporary American Educator, Writer.
Have a great rest of your Friday, and a super spectacular, safe and fun weekend.
