The last week of August, close to the end of summer. Today is the 230th day of the year, leaving 127 left in the year of 2024. Time sure does fly. So today we have a breeze, lots of sunshine, with 89 degrees at 4:21 p.m. Not to shabby for a late August day.
The weekend was busy. Tina worked four hours on Saturday. I rode in to Knoxville with her. She dropped me off at Dottie’s as we were going shopping when she got off work. Dottie and I visited, catching up on everything since we hadn’t seen each other for a couple of weeks. When Tina got there we started out. First thing Tina needed to do was get the car charged. Normally she gets that done at home but sometime during the night the power went off, Tina’s phone updated and somehow or other messed everything up. So, we found a Tetra charging station and got the car charged up in no time. I admired at the price as it was $12.00 to charge it up to 80 %. That is the most you can charge it up to. Much less expensive then a tank of gas.
After that we went to Joanne’s for the blanket kits. They are still on sale. Tina got 4 this time. I am so excited that there are so many people interested in this project. The plan is 100 tie blankets for children, and they will all go to the Children’s Hospital in Knoxville. I am also quite surprised at how many ladies have no idea what a tie blanket. I thought the whole world knew about them and was making them.
After that we went to lunch at Twin peaks. It was loud, but had good food. It is a sports bar and grill. The food was good, but to be able to hear , sitting outside would of been a better choice. Lesson learned.
Then to Walmart, where we got a bunch of pictures printed. Then back to Dottie’s, where Max gave her a good “barking to for leaving him”. Then back to Oak Ridge, a stop at Hobby Lobby, a stop at Bo Jangles for chicken, and finally home. Not much to carry in and that was good. We were looking for electric scissors but no place we were at had them. I guess they can be bought on line. I Googled them and there are plenty on line. One of the ladies who wants to work with the blankets thinks that they would work swell cutting then fleece, but I don’t think so. We shall see. I have a pair and I can try it out.
Sunday was church, grocery shopping, and home. The rest of the day was spent putting groceries away and relaxing. We binged watched N.C.S.I. Old ones for sure. Dinner was leftover chicken from Saturday evening. So good.
Now it is close to time for Tina to get home. I had lunch with the bible study group at a small Mexican restaurant here in Oak Ridge. There are at least 6 Mexican Restaurants here.
Quote of the day: “The music soars within the little lark, And the lark soars.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 – 1861, British Poet. “You have done so much for me O Lord. No wonder I am glad! I sing for joy. O Lord, what miracles You do! And how deep are your thoughts!” Psalm 92: 4-5
Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it enjoyable, productive, Pleasant, safe and fun.
