TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2025

Nearly the middle of the month and I honestly don’t know where the time goes. I do manage to keep busy, which is a good thing, but find that I get behind at times.

We had a good rain this morning and again this afternoon. It is looking like we might get another thunderstorm soon. I hear the thunder. The time is 4:43 p.m. and the temperature is 85 degrees. We might reach 90 before the day is done, but I think we are at the high right now.

The weekend was good. Tina was on call so didn’t go to far nor do to much. We did go into Knoxville and pick up our new glasses. We just went in , did that , and came right back home. For dinner we stopped at KFC and picked up a 8 piece dinner. It was lousy! We won’t be going back to the KFC here in oak Ridge again. the chicken was a mess, looked either over cooked or not good. We ate it Saturday night, then Sunday Tina had a piece and got sick. I threw the rest. We couldn’t tell which piece was what and it was just thrown in the box without being cut or something. Plenty of breading though.

Sunday was church and the pastor is a guest and was very good. He is the pastor at the Milestone church in Morgan County, Tennessee. I think that is Wartburg, but am not sure., I still don’t really know where is what in this state.

That was the excitement of the weekend. Yesterday I did the laundry. Sharon came over and we visited. She is so good in knowledge of plants so we discussed the Christmas Cactus and the Hydrangea out front that is doing so well. We have to finish cutting back the one vine that is out there as it is finished for the year. It will comeback, she says. She said that she is having shoulder surgery the end of October. Hers will be a replacement. My heart goes out to her as I understand that is a painful operation. At least the recovery is a bit long but should be good once she is healed.

The thunder is thundering and I think I saw a flash of lightening. so I am going on to Wah’s House Hold Hints before the storm hits. One never knows when the power is going to leave us.

Wah’s House Hold Hints: ” To keep lemons from drying out – fill a quart jar with cold water then put the lemons in the jar. have a rubber ring on the jar and screw the cap down tight.”

have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a safe, cool, dry and a fun day.

Blessings
