Sandy's Daily Updates

Friday, February 3, 2023 Sunny Breezy Beautiful Cold 39 Degrees 4:00 p.m.

The moon woke me up this morning, shining right in my bedroom window. It is a full moon and so bright and pretty. The temperature was 32 degrees so a bit chilly crawling out from the warm covers. The house was at 68 which isn’t bad at all, except when you crawl out from the warm blankets.

The day has been sunny and bright, but very cold. I believe 39 is as high as we have gotten, and the wind hasn’t helped to warm things up, but I have no complaints as seeing sunshine is awesome. The sun coming in the windows has helped keep the house warm. Sierra has spent most of the day laying in the sun, moving when the sun moves. All need the sun. Maybe the solar lights in the yard will work tonight. They also need sun!!

Last evening, after Tina got home, we went to Walmart as I needed some of the mounting squares so I could finish the memory album I am working on. WE look and looked and finally found a pack. I grabbed two as they seem to be hard to find. We picked up a couple of other items, like cat litter, and checked out. Today I finished the part of the memory album that I have the pictures for, so far. My mounting squares turned out to be glue dots. I used some of them and also Elmer’s glue stick. I will go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and get the real mounting squares. I will also look before I buy!

Thursday, February 2, 2023 Rainy a.m, Cloudy Breezy Cold 43 Degrees 3:44 p.m.

Another cold winter day. The weatherman said that the rain has stopped in this area for now and we should have sunshine and a bit warmer for the next fives days. That would be Fantastic.):

Today, I have done the usual household chores and then started scrap booking a book that will be Tina’s as the first package of pictures I picked up out of the drawer is pictures of her graduation from the University of Phoenix. I will get it done shortly, probably tomorrow. Then I will see what surprise greets me next.

The soup and corn bred was so good last night. It fit the need of something hot as well as nourishing to end the day with. After cleaning up the kitchen we watched TV for a bit then went upstairs to bed. I am reading a good book so curled up under the warm covers and read for an hour or so. Sierra curled up there with me, sort of snuggling under the top cover. I guess she thought it was a good warm place also.

This morning it was 33 degree when we got up, so chilly. Tomorrow morning, so they say, it will be colder. We will again leave the back bathroom dink faucet dripping and the cupboard door open. We don’t want frozen pipes. There have been a lot of them in the Oak Ridge, Knoxville,Clinton area this winter. Plumbers have been kept busy.

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a fantastic, fancy, favorite, and fun rest of your day.

Wednesday, February 1, 2023 Cloudy Cold Still 41 Degrees 4:33 p.m.

Hello February. Winter is still with us. We are no in the icy part of the latest storms, but it is still cold, the damp bone chilling cold. To keep the furnace from running constantly I am dressed warm, or at least as warm as I can and still be able to move and do things. This is my blouse, sweater and a vest. It works quite well. I have hand warmers but think feet warmers would be a great invention, or purchase if they make them.

After listening to the news and of how terribly cold it is in Chicago and so many other places in the middle of the United States and the North East, I have no complaints. My heart goes out to all those who are suffering from the cold. I think of the homeless, those who can’t afford their heating bills, and those who have all and still can’t use what they have because of no electricity, or what ever keeps their stoves going. It is a rough winter indeed.

Here it is dinner time and time for me to get my corned bread made. We are having vegetable soup, made by Dottie. It is so good. That and corned bread and I am not sure about desert as yet.

Quote of the day: “Women. Remember, as we get older we are no longer having hot flashes. They are now called power surges!” My calendar

Have a great rest of your day. Make it a bright, shiny , cheerful and fun day.

Tuesday, January 31, 2023 Rainy Cloudy Cold Still 43 Degrees 6:18 p.m.

The Rain in Spain is mainly on the planes, but the rain in Tennessee is mainly all over the state. they are saying to watch out for icy roads in the morning for a lot of the state, Kentucky, North Carolina,, etc. Our area should be just wet. Our low is to be 35 and the high around 45. We probably got close to an inch of rain today. West and East of us are getting the ice storm, snow and all the frozen stuff. My heart goes out to those people.

Here, dinner is over and the dishes are done. I have been busy all day. Started with cleaning the den and then go company so that pretty much ended that project. Once my company left I got going again and Joe-ee called. I hear everyone in the area where he calls from better then I hear him. He said that he is doing O.K. I am thankful for that.

Quote of the day: “A little boy took his pet iguana to school to show the other kids. If you’ve ever seen an iguana, you know it has a large flap of skin, called the dewlap, that hangs down from the neck. The kids asked what it was, and when the boy explained, a little girl said, :Oh! My grandma has one of those.”

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it relaxing, enjoyable, interesting and fun
