Tuesday, February 27, 2024 Cloudy A Gloomy Day Breezy 67 Degrees 4:42 p.m.

The weather lady said that we would have showers on and off all day and into tomorrow. Also high winds. So far, no showers and just a breeze in the way of wind. I’m not complaining, but did miss the bright sunshine of yesterday. The cold front is due in tonight, I believe. Then we will be back to winter and sweater, coats, etc. It is still winter by the calendar so no complaints/

Last evening, after Tina got home, we went to dinner at the Cantina, then to Walmart. We needed the stuff to go under the area rug so that it will stay in place, and Tina needed a desk lamp for work as her overhead light is to bright. We got a few groceries that we forgot the other day. Like Bread! We were home by 6:45 or so so had time to watch part of the news and Finding Your Roots. That is on PBS and is very interesting. They have two guests and go back as far as they can to find their heritage.

Since we had Tina’s favorite meal last night, tonight we are having one of mine, Stuffed Pork Chops. They are in the oven cooking right now, and starting to smell pretty good. I haven’t made them for a long time so hope they turn out good. It will be the pork chops, stuffing and a veggie. Maybe gravy if Tina thinks she wants it. That is just extra calories and she is watching her waistline.

Nothing else new that I know of. I vacuumed, mop, and cleaned bathrooms today. Today was the downstairs cleaning day. Tomorrow will be the upstairs cleaning day, I think. That is all for this day.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a tender, caring, cheerful, productive and fun day.

Monday, February 26, 2024 Sunny Breezy Warm Nice 72 Degrees 4:12 p.m.

A beautiful day, warm, pleasant, just a perfect pre spring day. Yes, spring is less then a month away. I think most everyone is ready for the April showers and the May flowers. I do know that it is still February and March is just around the corner. The question is? Will March come in like a lion? Just three and a half day to “wait and see”.

In our hunting for things I so carefully put away, and suddenly found, was two file folders. So this morning I decided to go through them and see just what kind of stuff I had stuck in them. Most of the stuff was important. A few papers were to be shredded, and that was accomplished. Then stuff for scrap books and albums, for ‘the family tree” and maybe things to be used in card making. It took most of the morning but I got it all put where it belongs and we now have one less file to put in the drawer. Of course, Sierra helped.

Yesterday was quiet. We both were on the lazy side, but I think it was mostly being tired. I know that I haven’t felt 100% because of my shoulder. It bothers me mostly at night so I don’t sleep well. That makes my tired and not as energetic as I want to be. We did get out rug for the TV room , (Thank you Jerry and Tammy for transporting it) and it is down and looks very nice. We have to get some rug things to make sure it stays in place. Sierra likes it. she can rung and hit it and slid. Such fun!!! When Tina gets home from work we will go and purchase that. We did buy rug tape, but when I read it, it said that when removing it would damage the floor or whatever surface it was attached ti. So, no, on that one.

Have a great rest of you Monday. Make it a peaceful, productive, cheerful and fun.

Saturday, February 24, 2024 Partly Sunny 42 Degrees Cold 8:21 a.m.

I am sorry that I have missed the past two days. Thursday this site wasn’t available and yesterday I wasn’t available. I am hoping that we are back to normal now.

Today we have errands to do. The car needs an oil change and all that goes with that, so there is at least an hour or more. Groceries are needed so there is another couple of hours. We are meeting Jerry and Tammy for breakfast and that is a high lite. We are going to buy a area rug for the TV room , and hope they still have the one we liked. If not, we will choose another one. Then in to Knoxville and Cosco. By the time we get home it will be put groceries away and jammies , a TV program, maybe, and bed.

Have a great day. See you on Monday.

Wednesday, February 21, 2024 Sunny, Nice, Breezy 65 Degrees 5:07 p.m.

I believe I will start doing my blog in the mornings. Yesterday I was gone all day . Today I have been doing my norm with company popping in every so often, so here it is a bit late again. We. Tina and I have a meeting and dinner to go to this evening so that will take care of this evening.

Yesterday Julie and I went to Bud’s Farmhouse Coffee and enjoyed a great mocha and a bagel along with meeting the ladies from the Channel 10 morning news. They were so pleasant and fun. It was a great time. Tina and I will go back there for breakfast one of these Saturdays.

After that we went to Hobby Lobby and looked around. I was looking for a centerpiece for the coffee table, I got some ideas but didn’t buy anything. We went to Home goods where she found a few things, and I just looked for what I had in mind. Bought nothing. We went to Ross’s and she found a few more things, I found a measuring cup set so bought that. After leaving there we went to her new home.

Her new home is lovely. The kitchen is large, bright, has tons of cupboards and drawers, glass french doors leading out to the deck, a large island and room galore. I loved it. The rest of the house is so nice, cheerful, roomy and pretty. She has a big yard and plenty of room to grow a garden or flowers or whatever she wants. It was so nice to see it and she is so hospitable. Loved the afternoon. Loved seeing her so happy.

Tina picked me up and we came home. That is after she saw the house. She also loved it. Then it was time to get dinner and dishes and all that good stuff.

Have a great rest of your day. Make it a healthy, happy, positive and fun day.
