How time flies when one is busy! I know that Friday came and went. I worked at cleaning house, did a bit of laundry, and was ready when Tina got home so that we could go to Tractor Supply. I enjoy that store as they have so much stuff and such interesting things. So, it is an hour for us to shop there. We went after one thing, came out with two, which isn’t bad, considering there were a million interesting things that i could of enjoyed bringing home with me. There aren’t any baby chicks or ducks so that wasn’t a problem this trip.
Saturday Tina worked in the morning, then came and got me. Off to Knoxville to meet Dottie and Tammy for a shopping trip. We had lunch at a cute little cafe, The NEWK’S. It was good and fun. Then we went to the “Ole Time Pottery” and wondered through that big place. There is a billion things in that store and all very fun and interesting. I bought the coolest gift tags and I can’t remember what else.
We then went to Big Lots and shopped a bit, then to Hobby Lobby. You know that place is filled with goodies. The biggest problem with each place was so many people and everyplace on the crowded side. Hobby Lobby was the worst.
We left Dottie and Tammy at Dottie’s and headed back to Knoxville. We wanted to get a few groceries and go home. Then we thought of stopping at Panera’s and grabbing a cup of soup and half a sandwich. We turned in and found ourselves blocked by fire engine, ambulances, rescue squad, police cars, so worked our way through the parking lot and got out of there. By this time we thought better of doing anymore shopping for anything and came home.
Sunday we went to church, then came home for a a short time, then off to Dottie’s again. Tammy picked us up there and we went to see “THE NUTCRACKER’. it was so good. The dancers were fantastic and the orchestra was great ..The costumes were beautiful. We really enjoyed that immensely. Afterward Tammy drove around the downtown area and we looked at the Christmas lights. After seeing quite a bit of the area we headed toward the west end of town and met Jerry at The Asian Cafe for dinner. They have good food and we will go back. His friend was there with another man, playing and singing, folk music. Very enjoyable and fun. Once aback at Dottie’s we got our car and headed home. Sierra was “starving” so she got first attention. We were in bed shortly after that. Monday and early morning alarm clock.
Monday I had the Bible Study Cookie exchange. Then had to go to Walmart, and to Walgreens. I was sure it wouldn’t be to crowded as doesn’t everyone have to go to work on Monday? I guess now. Both stores were busy with lines everywhere. I finally got home about 2:30 p.m. Sierra was subbing me as she thought we had moved or something. She didn’t get much lap time this weekend and let us know about it! No lap time, very few treats, and dinner late three night in a row. She has made up for it today.
Now I have to get back to wrapping gifts and getting cards ready to mail out. time is flying and I so want all to arrive on time at their destinations.
