Sandy's Daily Updates

A rainy day in Tennessee. The rain was and is much needed, so it was nice to finally get it. Tomorrow is to be cooler but sunny and bright. Right now, at 6:20 p.m., it is 57 Degrees and cloudy. Will be much colder in the morning they say.

Today I went with Tina to her doctor’s appointment which took about three hours. She has to go in for a blood test, then wait until the doctor gets the results of that before she sees her. That took over an hour. It was a bit of a long appointment, but results were good. After that we went to Red Lobster and had La’Din, then to Cosco. By the time we finished there it was 4:30 and time to head home as that is traffic time. A twenty minute drive takes 45 minutes at the traffic time. We will finish the rest of the errands tomorrow, after she gets home from the dentist. I am not going to the dentist with her.

In the morning while she is at the dentist I have to get her gifts wrapped, cards made, and laundry started. Saturday is her birthday and I need to be ready for a change. So far the only thing that I know of that she would like to do is have a late lunch or early dinner at a Mexican restaurant in the West-town Mall. She doesn’t know the name of the place but it has a picture or painting of a donkey on the door. It might be a Burro. I am in hopes that Jerry and Tammy are well enough to go. I know that Dottie is planning on going. So, more on that after I learn more.

Since it it late this will be short. So, Quote of the day: “We can do no great things only small things with great love.” Mother Theresa of Calcutta. 1910 – 1997. Roman Catholic nun, Nobel Prize Winner.

Have a wonderful rest of your day. Make it a graceful, cheerful, pleasant, and fun day.

A partly sunny day with rain expected tonight into tomorrow morning. We do need the rain so that would be wonderful. the plants would appreciate a good watering by Mother Nature. The weather is cooling down, more like fall then spring now. Right now it is 67 degrees at 4:45 p.m. Our high was 68, I believe.

Tonight is Crafts and I have everything ready to go. We are having chicken Cesar salad for dinner, so that is easy and not a mess to clean up. I have the chicken ready and what more does one want? Tina had pizza for lunch, said it was o.k. but nothing to ride home about. They have a food truck on Thursdays and sometimes it is good and sometimes not so good. I guess today was the not so good day. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it was wonderful. There are no food trucks at my house,

I had the steroid shots in my shoulders yesterday and today has been great. Last night I slept like a log. As a rule my shoulders hurt the worst at night when I was trying to sleep. So thankful for the shots.

Quoit of the day: ‘What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.” Margaret Thatcher, 1925 -,2013 Former Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Have a great rest of your Hump Day. Make it pleasant, profitable, positive, cneerful and fun.

A beautiful, cool November day. It is now fall here. It is 12:24 p,m, and 61 degrees. partly cloudy, and breezy. I am early today as I will have a busy afternoon and also am having problems with the computer. This will be short and sweet.

Weekend was great. We got lost, went to a craft sale where most of the stuff there was from other countries and very little “crafts” made by hand here. Rather sad. The getting lost was fun, such beautiful country and farm houses and barns, cows and horses. Really nice and fun. We didn’t buy much at all. Then it was to the Amish market where we had originally started for. They didn’t have what we wanted as it was sold out. We will try again next week I hope. I love their spiced peaches.

Sunday we were both tired and my back was hurting so we did church on line. That was nice an very comfortable as I sat in the desk chair. We spent the day watching TV and doing lazy things like that.

Yesterday was bible study. We are doing Daniel right now and it is interesting. It is amazing how one book leads to something in another book, etc. I am enjoying this study very much.

Quote of the day: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.” Helen Keller, 1880 – 1968. American Writer. Crusader for the Handicapped.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. I hope to do better tomorrow,if the computer will allow it. Make the rest of your day a adventure, entertaining, productive, cheerful and fun.

Mostly sunny, with a slight breeze. Beautiful leaves occasionally floating down as the trees shed their spring and summer beauty for the late fall and winter. Like the bears, squirrels, and chipmunks, they “hibernate for the winter. The trees and plants go dormant for the winter. A period of rest. Right now it is 74 degrees and the time is 4:41 p.m.

Tonight we are dining on Caesar Chicken and Veggie salad. A simple meal but also nourishing. I believe next week the temperatures start going down and it will be time for the winter meals, roasts, stews, ham and beans, etc. I am looking forward to some of them. My last stew I learned that grilling veggies shouldn’t be used in stew…..it comes out like mush. But it did taste good.

This weekend we might get to go to a craft sale/show. There is one someplace off Clinton Highway and Merchant Drive. I will have to watch the TV and see if I can get the correct address. Of course, we have a ton of things to do around the house so we shall see how far we get with the craft show Idea. I am good either way. This show is supposed to be quite large. We shall see. There is also one downtown Knoxville and that one is also a large one. A busy time of the year for sure.

Sierra is waiting for Tina to get home. Tina will be here in about fifteen minutes. No major plans for the evening, just TV, We need to finish watching some of our recordings so that will take up the evening.

Quote of the day: “Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their short comings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.” Emily Post, 1873 – 1960, American Writer, Socialite.

I remember, as a child growing up, Emily Post set the rules for manners and etiquette. I think that, maybe, some, if not most, of them should still be followed.

Have a wonderful rest of your Friday and a fantastic, adventurous, relaxing, enjoyable and fun weekend.
