A TRUE QUOTE FROM A PAST U S. PRESIDENT

Monday, November 15, 2021 Partly Cloudy, Still, Sunset 52 degrees 5:23 p.m.

Monday already and the middle of November. It seems like just yesterday was the first of the month. Time sure flies by when one isn’t paying attention.

The weekend was very busy. Friday we were in Knoxville all day. The morning was spent shopping for certain items and called for stopping at several stores to get the three items we were looking for. After finally finding them we had lunch, then time for my ultrasound. That went well but took two hours. By then it was time to head home. Of course we had to stop at Walmart for prescriptions, then home.

Saturday we got our hair cut. Then worked around the house some. It was cold so didn’t do much outside even though we had planned on cleaning out the front flowerbed. Maybe Wednesday, or tomorrow.

Sunday we got up early (4:30) to watch Charles Stanley. He is on for an hour, from 5:00 to 6:00 a.m. Then Tina has to get ready for work and leave by 6:30. After she left I got my shower, dressed and proceeded to wrap he birthday gift.. That was no easy job as Sierra insisted on “helping” by sitting on the box, on the paper, swatting at the ribbon, and in general, being a pest. I finally grave her a couple of treats and she left for a few minutes. I barely got the gift wrapped and hidden, and all the wrapping stuff put away before Tina got home. Shortly after she got home Dottie came so we sat and visited. Tina took a nap but not a long one so we sat and visited a while longer. Finally Dottie said”why don’t we go have a late lunch. I would like to try that Mexican restaurant you are always saying is so good”. So we said sure.

(While Tina was taking a nap we took my wrapped gift out to her car). I went upstairs and changed into something a bit warmer, like a heavy sweater as it was only 43 outside, and came down ready to go. When we were parking this guy walks across the parking l;ot going into the restaurant and Tina said that he resembled Jerry. I said, yes, sort of .

we walk in and they had already gotten a table, ordered chips and drinks and were waiting to surprise her. She was shocked! Jerry is a Cowboys fan and she just knew that he wouldn’t leave home during the game. It was on there.

So there was Jerry, Tammy, Tammy’s mom, Dottie and her dad, Robbie, and me all surprising Tina for her 61st birthday! She will have another small party tomorrow when Diana and the kids come over for lunch. Tina has to leave for work at 3:00 and Diana will have to take the kids to lessons so we shall have lunch close to noon,. That should be fun also. The kids are a riot.

Today was another trip to Knoxville to exchange a couple of items and I had a doctor’s appointment. Now home, dinner, dishes and TV for a couple of hours. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Make it a spectacular one.

Blessings
