A beautiful start to the work week. No wind, sunny, calm and welcoming. Th perfect day to do outdoor chores or play. Tina was o9ut checking the garden and flowers this morning, took a walk to the mail box this afternoon. I, not as eager to be outdoors, did go out and spray the roses and flowers with bug spray for roses and flowers. The bugs were terrible with the roses last year so wanted to catch it before they got going this year.
We had strong winds on Saturday so the azaleas didn’t fair so well. One bush hardly has any blossoms left, the other has many but a few look pretty sad. I think the strong winds and the hard rains got to them. Everything else seems to of don O.K. It is supposed to be clear and dry until the end of the end of the week.
Mother’s day was wonderful. We( Tina, Jerry, Tammy Dottie and I) went to North shore Park in Knoxville and had a picnic. It was cloudy, a bit cool and breezy but still very nice. there were a lot of other people there with the same idea. Also lots of people with their dogs and even some with children. We enjoyed KFC chicken, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, strawberry salad and cupcakes. All very yummy. It tasted so good as I think most of us were hungry.
I received a gift certificate to the Play theater here in Oak Ridge to take 2 guests and go see Driving Miss Daisy. We will go see that next Sunday afternoon, and I am taking Tina and Dottie as my guests. That should be a fun Sunday afternoon. Also beautiful card and a lighted gnome. He is cute. Beautiful Cards from Jerry and Tammy, Jeff and Nanette, and Tina
On Saturday, the 14th, we have to be at Dottie’s at 7:00 a,m, to take a 4 hour train ride in the Smokies with Jerry, Tammy, Dottie and Robbie. That will be so fun and interesting. Tina has the day off as one of the gals will work for her, so she will get to enjoy the trip also. More on that next wee.
Tina gave me a bouquet of tulips and is planting flowers under the dogwood tree that will bloom on and off all year long. That is a big gift as it is hard work for her to get down and plant. Tammy and Jerry came and helped put the bricks around the tree and get the dead grass and such out from under it. She widen the circle by at least a foot ot two feet so it will be beautiful with flowers. Tammy and Jerry also put all the bags of Miracle Grow dirt in there. She has to add a few more bags of dirt and then will be ready to go.
This week is a busy one with doctor appointments and nails and hair appointments plus she works so fits all that into the daily schedule. Wednesday she has an eye appointment with the doctor who will probably do the lazier and give her a shot in her eye. Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment with my primary care doctor. A busy week.
