The sun is shining and the breeze is rustling the leaves on the trees. The American flag is gently swirling proudly. At the moment the rain has passed on and some other part of the state is getting watered. I am told it will be back tonight, complete with thunder and lightening. A summer storm. I do see the clouds in the distance, but right now they don’t look to threatening.
The weekend was rather quiet. It was also rather rainy. We had some pretty good downpours that left full puddles and very wet yards. pouches, etc. We need the rain so that is good. Dollywood, on the other hand got flooded. Their guests were wading , in some places, waist deep, even in the shops. The parking lot had water up over the tires in some parts. All in all, it was a mess. I was so thankful we weren’t there.
We went to Home Goods, looked around, than to Ross’s and looked around. Not a day to shop and found nothing we were looking for. Then we went to Food City and got groceries. Stopped at Habitat for Humanity and looked through there, then came home. We are slowly looking for a small, but high table that is about 1 1/2 foot wide and 30 inch to set on the wall by the back door, to set purses or such on, and more importantly, where Sierra can sit and watch out the glass door. Nothing fancy or expensive. We found one, but it was way to heavy, and expensive for what we want it for. It had brass legs and a marble top!
For dinner Sunday, I put a roast in the crockpot, added onion, Lipton Onion Soup mix, three or four dashes of Worcestershire Sauce, and 1/3 cup of water. I added baby carrots and petite potatoes about half way through the cooking time. It turned out so good. I put the roast in the crockpot frozen and it came out fantastic.
We did watch the start of the Olympics. That was something! Very interesting and entertaining. And we have watch some of the events. I enjoy the gymnastics most, and the US team is fantastic. I was sorry the one girl didn’t make it. She was very good but had to many missteps. We will be watching on and off through the whole thing. We did record it, so won’t miss much.
