Due to the fact that we are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 6:00 p.m., I am going to do my blog now. Just in case the power goes out and I can’t get it done later on. The storm is due in this afternoon, then calm down for a few hours and another major one is due in sometime during the night. Yesterday they said it was a dry day, the 3rd of the month, but it was raining when I went to be around 9:00 p.m., so we have only had two days without rain this month. And we have 15 more days in this month! Right now it is cloudy, humid, 75 degrees and a very slight breeze.

Tina is through with her classes in Knoxville and is back at work here in oak Ridge. She will have her last PT this afternoon, then she will see what the doctor says. I think she is doing well and her arm is moving much better now. She still can’t lift much, but she can carry a cup of coffee, and silverware to the table. So all is getting pretty good. I am hoping she won’t have to have surgery, I know that this will take time to heal as it is a torn muscle. I am just thankful that it isn’t anything worse.

Jerry came out this morning and installed Angel Studio on both TV’s, then attached the timer so that it will water the plants outside automatically, when I turn it on. they are getting watered now naturally. We might need that this summer as it can be a dry summer. Last summer was and we were in a drought. He also put the washing machine back where it belonged. It wants to walk and we aren’t sure why, It isn’t unlevel. He is so good about helping when needed and both Tina and I appreciate him very much.

WE haven’t much planned for the weekend. I have to go into Knoxville tomorrow to the bank and update my phone number. Then, Tina wants to get her car cleaned. This is weather permitting. Sunday is church. If it is not raining we might pull weeds out front. They grow faster then the grass I think.

Wah’s House Hold Hints: “To clean waffle iron or any appliance. Soak an old towel in ammonia and wrap around the waffle iron grills and set them in a plastic bag. Let stand for 3 or 4 hours. Then wipe off. Also oven. Set a saturated cloth in a pan and let set overnight or several hours. Wipe off.”

Have a wonderful rest of your Friday and a fantastic weekend. Make all pleasant, productive, social, kind, and fun.

A Dry, mostly sunny , beautiful Thursday afternoon. This will be the 3 day in May without rain. That will end tomorrow. I am enjoying it while it lasts. The bad weather has been hard on the phones, computers, etc. For me, mostly dropped calls. Others have had power failure and some flooding. Here, puddles. It is 80 degrees right now, 3:28 p.m.

Yesterday I went and got shots in my back. Came home ate a late lunch, sat down and took a two hour nap that was not in my plans. Last night I couldn’t sleep, dozed, tossed and turned. That nap didn’t help I am thinking. But have felt great today and accomplished a lot. Needless to say I didn’t get my blog done.

The gentleman who mows our lawn was here and mowed. Just in time for more rain. I am sure I can sit here and watch the grass grow. He says that he is overwhelmed keeping the lawns mowed. I don’t know how many he has but I imagine upwards of 30. He mows at least twice a month and more if needed. When the grass isn’t growing very fast, like in the summer, he only comes once a month, if needed. He doesn’t charge when he doesn’t mow.

Now much news around here. Next week school is out so won’t even have the school buses. No dogs being walked and a few birds out hunting worms and birdseed. We have a very busy chipmunk that keeps running bast the front door. Back and forth about fifty times this afternoon. the squirrel was out a bit but he has gone to check out other trees and bird feeders. Ours needs filling again. They are hungry all the time.

Wah’s House Hold Hints: “For Dry Hair – add a cupful of baby oil to your regular shampoo. It conditions and gives it a shine, softness and easier to handle.”

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a fun, relaxing, profitable, and productive day.

Today, like most of the days in May, so far, is a rainy, thundering, lightening day. No wind at the moment but we had a breeze earlier, and the day is still young so there is time for the wind to pick up.

Yesterday, the thunder and lightening were giving off signals to stay indoors and off all the electronics. The weather lady kept everyone informed about where the worst of the storms were and when we should take cover. She forgot to tell us to take our umbrellas. Also the big storm wasn’t to hit until late afternoon. We believed her!

The hospital was without power for three or more hours. Of course they have generators so all the needed equipment that was needed worked just fine. However Tina said that evidently her computer wasn’t among the most urgently needed equipment so she wasn’t able to do a few thing.

Here, I stayed off the computer and pretty much off the phone as it wasn’t working well either. I went to bible study in the morning. It wasn’t raining when I went but was pouring when I came out. None of us brilliant ladies took an umbrella in with us. Needless to say we were wet by the time we reached our cars. I didn’t melt!

Today we have had clouds, sun rain, clouds, sun rain. right now it is clouds with the sun working hard at peeking through. The rain just ended a few minutes ago but I am sure it will return in a few minutes. It will return about the time Tina is to return home from work.

The weekend was great. We went to town, visited Dottie and admired her new sectional. It is lovely. Max isn’t very happy with it as she said no to him being on it. He is testing her every way he knows how and she isn’t giving in. Poor puppy. It is all white so I don’t blame her for not wanting him on the couch. White material is hard to keep clean. But, it is pretty and very comfortable.

Mother’s Day we went to Jerry and Tammy’s. it was fun and good food. The dogs are delightfully friendly and entertaining. The meal was delicious, and he company fantastic. A fun afternoon. their home is so nice and comfortable and the yard is luxurious. I could gaze at it all day long.

Wah’s House Hold Hints: “Vinegar for cooking and cleaning. It removes decals, cleans paint brushes, stains, opens drains, cleans leather, softens sweaters, eliminates odors, cleans windows, etc.

Now it is time to head to the kitchen and start preparing dinner. Tina is on her way home and I am sure she will be ready for dinner when I get it fixed. We are having stuffed baked potatoes.

Have a Taco Tuesday rest of your day. Make it a fun, interesting, adventurous and relaxing one.

Blessings

Good morning

As time seems to speed by me, leaving a list of things I needed or wanted to do, waiting for me to do. So I am getting a head start on the blog this morning and including yesterday’s and today’s in one email.

Yesterday I was very busy getting ready for Tevia and Chael to come and spend a couple of days. Last evening Diana texted me that Tevia had a fever, scratchy throat and not feeling well. She said Deagan was ill and had called in, not being able to go to work. Bryan had been sick all last weekend and she felt that his bug was hitting them all, one by one. She is hoping that they can come next weekend. We are hoping that also. I am in hopes that next weekend it won’t be raining.

We also had Crafts last evening. Tina didn’t go as she had PT right after work, and they were rough on her arm. She stayed home with the heating pad on her arm and shoulder, and a pain pill. Sierra was there, in her lap, nursing her. I went and it was mostly visiting, three ladies were knitting and one crocheting. I must learn.

Today I am doing a bit of laundry, floors, stories, and that should take care of the day. Tina wants me to be ready to go shopping when she gets here after work. she needs to get a baby present and take it in to work tomorrow. The weather lady said that we would have a dry morning with a bit of sun, but at around 4:00 p.m. the bad storm was due to hit, bringing high winds, hail and rain. Tina get off work at 4:00 p.m. so I might text her and tell her to shop in the gift store there and come straight home and get her car under the car port. She worries about the hail damaging her car.

Since the kids aren’t coming today, I guess I will have to treat the day like a normal day and do housework, and computer work. The kids would of been much more fun and enjoyable, but one must play the cards that are dealt to one. I feel bad that they are sick and hope and pray that they have a speedy and full recovery. Tina and I are looking forward to next weekend with them now.

Wah’s House Hold Hints: “To remove decals from a wall or other furniture, dip a cotton ball in boiled vinegar and sponge the decal with it. Sponge until the decal is thoroughly soaked, then simply wash the decal away.”

I hope your yesterday was great and that your today is filled with energy, adventure, productivity, and fun.

Blessings!
