Yesterday i was in Knoxville all day. We didn’t get home until about 6:00 p.m.. That was dinner time so fixed and ate, cleaned up the kitchen, watched the end of the news, watched ;THE VOICE” and went to bed. Today has been doing all the things I meant to do yesterday. I washed all the throws and cleaned the den more then just pick up and put away, Did the veggies so they are ready for salad, etc. fixed dinner.

this is going to be short and sweet as dinner is about done and Tina just got home. Sierra thinks it is dinner time ME-NOW! Such a bossy cat. I will do better tomorrow.

Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Sunny Clear Breezy 69 Degrees 3:46 p.m.

Another beautiful day. It is fun to be outside doing needed projects. I have worked in the carport a bit this morning.

the leaves were trying to take over again so swept them up, bagged them and put them in the trash. The leaves seem to come from nowhere and want to take up residence in the carport.

I was reading in the book, “The Profit of Oak Ridge”. Emily said that she had seen the story on the History Channel. She said that there it said his family was murdered. In the book it says that his 2 year old daughter did something that required a spanking. Shortly after that she got sick and eventually died. His wife was so distraught over the death of her little girl that she blamed him for the death and took the rest of the children and left him. A few years later she notified him that she was divorcing him. He was so devastated by his little girl dying and her taking the rest of the children that he lost interest in his farm and everything else. he would walk in the forest day and night, praying to God for forgiveness. The little girl died of consumption. He never saw his family again. More tomorrow.

Monday, March 6, 2023 Sunny Windy Warm 76 degrees 4:50 p.m Beautiful

A great Monday after w lovely weekend. The weather has been dry and so nice. We have enjoyed it a lot. This is to last through Wednesday noon-sh, then the chance of rain returns along with a cold front. It is March so one can’t have to much nice weather when the lion is roaring.

We had a nice but busy weekend. A trip to Cosco is always time consuming. We got the things we needed and looked at some of the other things. Dottie was with us and she looked at sheds. They had two nice ones. Since the yard and car port are still in the preparing or installing stages it isn’t the time for a storage unit. Maybe in a month or so. The carport has to go up before the shed.

We three also visited Ingels grocery store which is so nice and interesting. I love wondering through there. We toured the area as we, of course, got lost. We had lunch at Hardy’s and it was good. Everyone wanted a hamburger and they have good ones. I can’t think where else we went.

Sunday was quiet. We did go to Kroger’s as we needed a few things that we forgot on Saturday. Also we went to Home Depot to get three signs that say, “NO POOPING ZONE’. There is a person, who we have yet to catch, who picks up her dogs poop in a blue bag, then sets it down by our mailboxes. So we hope this will stop her. The next step will be a sign that says ‘YOU ARE ON CANDID CAMERA”. It is so rude to just put your poop bags in front of the mail boxes. It isn’t anyone that lives in our area of the “village”. So rude.

Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a sunny, cheerful, mirthful and fun day.

Friday, March 3, 2023 Overcast High Wind Warnings, Thunderstorms 57 Degrees 8:28 a.m.

Good Morning.

We are in a Sever weather warning with high winds (60 mph) , possible thunder storms and a chance of tornadoes. So with the possibility of power outages I though I would do all my computer projects first thing this morning. The weatherman keeps saying to watch the weather and be aware of high winds. The soil is so saturated because of all the rain we have had that trees are likely to be blown down as well as power lines.

Being from Nevada neither Tina or I thought much of the high wind warning until it was pointed out to us that there are a zillion trees everywhere here and when they get blown down they can do major damage. So I changed my mind about putting a stew in the crockpot, sitting in the electric recliner, and things like that. My cell phone is charged. My tablet is charged. I have the transistor radio ready to play if needed. I have batteries in all flashlights and I think I am prepared. Yes, I have bottled water. Tina is at work so hope she, and they, are as prepared. Mostly, I hope and pray that she and all get home from work safely.

The Cedar tree in front of our homes here is old and some think it might be blown down any time. And there are all kinds of big, tall trees across the street that would hit us if they blew down, so I will spend the afternoon in the den which is located in the back of the house, as far as I can get from the trees. should there be a tornado I will be as safe there as anyplace in the house.

The high temperature today is to be 75 to 78. The low in the morning is to be 43. It was 5 3 this morning when I came downstairs at 5:20 a.m. As everyone keeps saying, we are having weird weather, everywhere.

Quote of the day: “In the trials we’ve faced, something good has happened too: God has fine-tuned us so we are more compassionate, more caring, more loving, more aware of other’s pain.” My calendar

Have a great, safe warm, storm free, energetic, positive and fun day and weekend.
