Another scorcher of a summer day here in Oak Ridge. We hit 98 yesterday and are do to be a bit hotter today. Right now it is 95 degrees and the time is 4:25 p.m.. I believe the weekend will start a downward temperature slide to back in the 80’s. I do hope so. I haven’t minded this as I have been in the house and haven’t had to go out much. I have heard the weather on the radio and the TV, so know how miserable it has been and is for so many people, and for the animals. There is a slight breeze right now and maybe that helps a little.
Tomorrow there won’t be a blog. Tomorrow is the Field Trip. I still know nothing more and am still curious as to where we are going. I am considering what to wear. Jerry said that I should wear clothes and shoes that I won’t care if they get dirty. I have a 30 year old tee shirt that I can wear. I doubt that I would care if it gets dirty. I will, I believe, will wear light blue genes that are older and I doubt I would care if they get dirty. And my Sketcher tennis. They clean up nicely and are comfortable.
It is supposed to be hot again tomorrow (94-100) so will take a straw hat with a wide brim, and am going to look to see if I happen to still have any of those neck scarfs that you soak in water and they keep you cool. I had several in Nevada but haven’t thought of then for here until now. I will take a sweater as one never knows when one is needed. So many places have the air conditioning set on freezing, so a sweater is very necessary. I know that Jerry, Tammy, and Tina don’t think it gets that cold, but Dottie and I do. Must be that we have thinner blood then they do. I am getting excited to see what and where this field trip is going to be.
I have a great imagination and can imagine anyplace from the mountains and hiking to the lake shore looking for shells. There are so many interesting places here in Tennessee and surrounding states that an adventure is always close. I can’t wait to ad this to the memory book.
I haven’t accomplished a great deal today. I am working in the craft room, putting things away and seeing what I have for one of my projects that I am working on. We did a blanket at crafts last night, It is a cute bumble bee. That went well so we might do at least one each Wednesday and get as many done as we can before the 28 of September. That day we are hoping several will show up to come and cut, tie . Then we can get them washed. They will be delivered to the Children’s hospital in October. The Chaplin at the Oak Ridge Hospital said that they could use some here also, so we will probably make some for this hospital also. And there are three ladies in our church who have cancer so will make them each a blanket.
Quote of the day: “To be a joy-bearer and a joy-giver says everything, for in our life, if one is joyful, it means that one is faithfully living for God, and that nothing else counts; and if one gives joy to others one is doing God’s work with joy without and joy within, all is well….I can conceive no higher way.” Janet Erskine Stuart, 1857 – 1914. British Member of Religious of the Sacred Heart.
Time to go start dinner. Have a great rest of your Thursday, and a fantastic Labor day Weekend. Make it a safe, healthy, adventurous, enjoyable, and fun one.
