Thursday, May 30, 2024 Sunny Slight breeze Warm Nice 68 Degrees 11:02 a.m.
Another beautiful day in East Tennessee. Sunny, cool, pretty. The birds are out and enjoying the glorious weather. There is one out back that is so loud that it seems it is right in the house, sitting on your shoulder. I have no idea what kind of bird it is, or what it looks like. I certainly can tell he or she has great vocal cords. I am not complaining as it is wonderful to hear the birds chirping, chattering, cooing and singing.
I am so thankful for this beautiful weather and hope that it will last until the air conditioner gets installed next week. The weather person said that we should have warmer temperatures by the weekend, and that the possibility of rain should return by Saturday or Sunday. The house stays fairly cool and if the humidity isn’t to much, it is rather nice. Last night it got a bit chilly. Tin got up and turned her ceiling fan down, I thought about getting up and turning mine off, but then decided I was warm under the covers so would see about it later. It is still going.
School is out here so no more school buses for awhile I believe. Maybe if there is summer school and they run the bus. That I don’t know. So far I haven’t seen any kids around here outside playing or bike riding,, etc. I know that the third and forth graders had problems with their TAP tests and some will have to do summer school or have a tutor to get them up to par. A lot of parents are not happy about that as some students who are straight “A” and “B” student flunked the test. The parents and some of the teachers said that the test didn’t make sense, was poorly written, put together and not acceptable. I am thinking there will be some major discussions over this issue. Thankful my children are grown and I don’t have to worry about that problem.
Today I am cleaning out my desk and doing a pile of shredding as I tend to stick things in the drawers when someone is coming over and I want it to look neat and nice. So all the adds, political junk and odds and ends note will be shredded and or thrown. Once that is done I will write my stories, then get ready to go to COSCO this evening. It is best to make a trip there on Thursday evening rather then on Friday or the weekend. Easier to find a parking spot and less crowded. I will let you know how that works tomorrow.

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a cheerful, positive, productive, kind and fun day.
