It is Monday, Sunny, Breezy, 90 Degrees, and beautiful. Indoors we do have air conditioning so it is nice in here at 72 degrees. The weather person said that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are due to be rainy. Maybe a bit cooler also.

the front flower garden is beautiful with flowering plants and green shrubs. Bill’s is also lovely with his flowers and greenery. Here, everywhere you look it is green and flowers. They do have a major problem with Virginia Creeper which is a aggressive vine that covers everything left on its own. That includes power poles and such. We don’t have any in our yard or in this block as far as I can tell. I think most everyone keeps a sharp eye out for it and kills it as soon as possible.

The weekend was nice. Saturday we went to three Garage Sales. All were nice, neat, well laid out and not at all junky. Also great prices. I bought a grass rake for a dollar. We had the other rake but the grass rake is a must for the grass and flower bed. Tina got a medicine ball for $2.00 and 2 Anne Gettie pictures that she wants to put in the bathroom in back. They are cute and perfect bathroom pictures. They were a dollar a piece. Tina also got a blue shrug sweater that is very nice. I can’t remember what else we found, but it was fun and we hope to do so again next Saturday.

After that we came home and deposited all our goodies, then off to Knoxville to get our hair cut, meet Dottie and Tammy for lunch, and pick up Tina’s glasses. She wanted a couple of things from The world Market, but they were out of what she wanted. We then went to Jerry’s to drop off something for Tevia, and, of course, play with the dogs. they are so fun and cuddly. They are also shedding like crazy. But so fun to be around. Makes my day. We then headed home and immediately changed clothes as we brought half of the dogs home with us, well, anyhow their fur. I still think that if we saved all their she-dded fur plus Sierra’s we could have fur coats. It was an enjoyable day for sure.

Sunday we got up and went to Walmart to get what groceries we needed. Better to go early then late, especially in the heat of the day. We did church on line which was O.K. but I do prefer going in person.

Our assistant pastor was the preacher Sunday and he is also very good. Next Sunday we are greeters at the 10:30 service. I believe the following Sunday there is only one service and that will be at 10:30. That is Labor day Weekend so there probably won’t be too many there. The rest of the day was doing some computer work, TV and just goofing off at home. A restful day.

Today Tina went to work at 5:00 a.m., then came and picked me up as she had to go to the back doctor. I took my book and waited for her while she got shots in her back. We came home and she left for work and I started the laundry. I am doing 2 loads today and the rest tomorrow. Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment with the shoulder doctor and will probably have sots in my shoulders. A whole lot better then surgery.

We are waiting for the roofer guy to call with the estimate for the roof and downspouts. We though that he would of called by now but so far no call. If he doesn’t call by the end of the wee, we,,,there are other fish in the sea, so to speak. We have the name of two others.

time to head for the kitchen. And for Wah’s House Hold Hints: ” One should always make their bed when they get up in the morning. when the beds are made and the dishes done, the house is in pretty good shape.” You can tell she only had one child.

Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a marvelous, cheerful, productive, and fun day.

We have had sunshine, once the fog burned off, all day until about 30 minutes ago, then the clouds rolled in. We may or may not have a rain shower. yesterday it thundered a lot, but no rain here. I believe parts of Knoxville got enough to flood a bit. Nothing very serious as the news just gave that bit of info.

Today I went to Arche’s Foot Care and had the toenails trimmed. Then to Kroger’s as I wanted a bros-ed chicken for dinner this evening. I want to see if Sierra will eat a bite or two of that as she isn’t very interested in her cat food, dry or wet. Jerry suggested trying her on the FARMER’S PET FOOD from the refrigerated section of the pet food at the grocery store. It is a thought so might just try it. I think we did once and she didn’t like it. She is one opinionated and fussy kitty. I think we bought the wrong flavor of Fancy Feast. I think she likes the grilled chicken one and Tina thinks she likes the chicken in gravy. This week we have tried that. last week it was chicken pate. Tomorrow we will try the grilled chicken one.

Jerry came out and worked on my computer. I was so embarrassed when he opened the FACEBOOK APT AND THERE WAS A WHOLE BUNCH OF PORN ON THERE. He managed to get it blocked and showed me ho to do so if I ever get that again. He said someone sent me something and I opened it without realizing the pron was attached somehow. Jerry thinks that may be how I got hacked. I open Cynthia Bleske’s messages, but just sent her a note to now contact me again and said why. I am not sure it is hers and said so. I won’t open any of them again.

After he got finished with my computer and phone we went to lunch at Aubrey’s. It was good. then back home and he headed home to continue staining his fence. It has taken him three weekends to get that fence stained , and he hopes to finish it this weekend. It takes time ans stain and good weather to stain a 2 acre fence. We have had a lot of rain and that has slowed him down some.

We have enjoyed a beautiful sunny day until about five minutes ago. Now the thunder roars, the clouds are looking threatening, and I do believe we might get a good downpour. I know that we probably won’t flood as much of Chattanooga did yesterday so am not concerned about that, but there are so many who are where the creek, river stream, etc. can easily flood if they get much more rain. these summer storms can be brutal.

The dinner at church last night was fun. It was mostly for the kids but there was a section for the adults to sit and enjoy the hot dogs, chili, chips, veggie plate, and cotton candy, slushes, and pop corn. They had face painting, games and for one group there was Bible Study. Tina went to the bible study as she can’t go during the day so this evening one is perfect. We were home by 8:00 p.m. having had a very nice evening. And very thankful that it didn’t rain.

Today ha been quiet. I have vacuumed and dusted, kept the cat busy having to change rooms to keep away from the vacuum. She needed the exercise. Me, too. I use the dust mop most every day but at least once a week I need to vacuum and pick up all the dust bunnies and fur that the dust mot misses. Even though we have grass, trees, flowers and pavement all around we still have dust. I think that when the wind blows in Nevada, the dust finds its way here, just to make sure we remember it.

Another rainy day all over Tennessee. It rained last night sometime, and then was just cloudy and dreary for the first part of the morning. Then the rain arrived and we had two or three really heavy downpours. We are in a flood warning until 8:00 p.m. Right now the sun is trying to peek out but isn’t having to much luck so far. We have a temperature of 77 degrees at 3:23 p.m. The humidity is way up there someplace and it is muggy outside.

This evening there is a end of summer program at church. It is dinner and a bunch of activities, mostly for the kids. We signed up to go, but if it is raining we will be a “no show”. We might have crafts and Tina’s bible study group might start this evening. I doubt it for both but will find out when we get there

I doubt that it will be raining as the news said that the rain was moving towards the Carolina’s. We shall see. The event starts at 6:00 p.m. so there is still time for another shower or two. The clouds are lighter and the sun is still trying hard to peek out. the grass is green and growing as are the weeds. One can almost watch both the grass and the weeds grow! WE now have a slight breeze.

I ordered a book, The Ageless Brain for Seniors. Tina looked at it and said that all it did was tell what we already know. I, so far, have found exercises that I can do and that should help me with walking and balance. Also, it mentions avocados as a great health food. I can do that easily as Avocado Toast is a great breakfast, accompany it with an egg. That is as far as I have gotten with this book, but so far, I think it is a good addition to our library.

Today I cleaned both cat carriers. Sierra upchucked a fur ball in the one she usually uses, so I thought tht I would go out to the shed and bring in the other one. It had been in the shed for a couple of years and it was dusty and dirty and yucky so I scrubbed it, threw the liner in the wash, both liners, and then scrubbed the one she uses. Now they are both clean and ready to use. She is in the one I brought in from the shed. I will put the other one, folded, in the closet for future use.
