Wednesday, July 5, 2023 Cloudy Breezy Humid Warm/Hot 76 Degrees 1:54 p.m.
I haven’t done my blog since last month. These holidays tend to get in the way. The days have been busy and the weather has been wet, muggy, windy, sunny, foggy, hot, warm, and in general all mixed up. We have had some terrific thunder storms that did damage in Oak Ridge, Knoxville and surrounding areas but not so much here in our village. We had a good rain storm this morning but now it is just cloudy and cool. The clouds are keeping it cooler then what the weatherman predicted.
It seems like each day we have had something planned and the weather has encouraged us to change our plans. Friday I spend the day with Dottie. We worked a dress I bought that was 6 inches to long. She pinned and then cut a bunch off. She then cut my hair. Jerry brought us lunch and stayed and visited for a bit. Then he was off to do errands. When Tina got off work she came and picked me up. Of course she had to pet and play with Max for a bit.
Saturday we planned on getting up early and getting the grocery shopping done. So we got up at 7:00 a.m., had coffee, showered and dressed and headed out to go shopping. First we have breakfast… At the Jefferson Street Drug Store. It was fun. Good food, good service and fun, interesting people. For the most part, everybody knew everybody. The talk was of the upcoming events for the weekend, bike races, ball games, fireworks, etc. BBQ’s galore.
We left there and spent time in Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and Kroger’s. Finally home. By this time it is 90+ degrees and we have the car to unload and groceries to put away, etc. Tina had to return some DVDs to Charles, so did that and she played a bit with his two kittens. Julie popped in for a couple of minutes. The evening was taco salad for dinner and TV.
Sunday was quiet and rainy, cloudy, hot and humid. We did next to nothing. Monday was normal, laundry, Tina had to work, Julie came over and we visited. I did some computer work and dinner and all the normal Monday stuff.
The 4th we got up at the normal time. Enjoyed our coffee. Tina watched ‘Independence Day” , then got ready to go to Jerry’s’. We changed the bed, washed the sheets, Tina made Cowboy baked beans for us to take. Once there it was visit and play with the dogs. they are so fun. Dallas is getting so big, 40+ pounds now and acts like she is 5 pounds. She is so pretty and her fur is so soft. She now romps and plays with all three of the other dogs but they still put her in her place when she gets to rambunctious. All in all, it was a fun time. Fireworks that evening weren’t very loud and there were few set off in our area. all here was quiet by 10:00 p.m.
Now it is Wednesday and I am playing catch up on a lot of things. I want to get my blog out as my next project is getting the craft room back in order. WE have piled things in there for a week and now I need to get it cleaned up so I can continue with my projects.
Have a great rest of you Wednesday. Make it a warm, enjoyable, summer time ice tea and pop cycles day.
