Sandy's Daily Updates

Wednesday, September 6, 2023 Cloudy Windy Warm Muggy 88 Degrees 3:57 p.m.

A fairly quiet day around here. I have done a bit of cleaning, worked on the computer and did some texts. Sierra has enjoyed catching up on her 18 hours of sleep. She got behind with it over the long weekend. I have seen one hummingbird and one wren today. I do believe they are preparing to head south, if they haven’t done so. I do miss seeing them all at our bird dining tables.

I haven’t been back at removing wall paper since Monday so will probably return to that task tomorrow. I do believe the steam works the best at removing the glue so will concentrate on that and hope I can get a large portion done. I have to clear out from under the stairs as our hot water heater’s overflow pipe or what ever it is is leaking so we have a plumber combing out to fix it. If it isn’t one thing it is another around here. I guess if it is not repaired it can blow up. What a mess that would be. I hope that I have the right name for what needs repaired.

Tuesday, September 5, 2023 Cloudy Warm Still Nice 86 Degrees 5:42 p.m.

A beautiful late summer day. The heat that was predicted was not bad at all. The cloud cover helped a whole lot towards keeping it cooler then predicted. I hope tomorrow is the same. 90 plus with humidity is not nice.

We spend the weekend mostly working on the “sewing room”. We are still not done but maybe by the end of next weekend we will be. That is, done with removing wall paper and glue. Never again! Neither of us will do wall paper or remove it. I know I always say Never say never, but this time I say NEVER!

This is a short one as I see company he4adint this way, and dinner is on the stove and I hope not to burn it.

Quote of the day: “Whatever your years, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what comes next, and the joy of the game of life. You are as young as your dreams.” Douglas MacArthur

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a relaxing, cheerful, exciting, and fun day

Blessings

Have a safe, enjoyable, healthy, adventurous, fun day.

Friday, September 1, 2023 Mostly Sunny Breezy Warm 84 Degrees 5:15 p.m.

Another beautiful day here in Oak Ridge Tennessee. the beginning of a long weekend, of football, and the last hurrah of summer. The beaches are crowded, if they aren’t recovering from major storms. the highways and byways are crowded, the skies are filled with air planes going to many destinations, and people staying home are busy preparing for their festivities. Picnics, ball games, festivals, and back yard BBQ’s. The joys of Labor Day Weekend.

Back in the day, the Tuesday after Labor Day school started. The holiday weekend was fun but going back to school, going to bed early and getting up early wasn’t so much fun. The lazy, hazy days of summer were over and the anticipation of a new school year, of meeting new children and people, of homework and new classes. That was both exciting and scary. Ah, the good ole’ days.

Quote of the day: ” Singing lifts our spirits. It’s just plane good for us. Whether we sing with trained voices that bring thundering applause or off-key screeching, by the time our songs of praise reach heaven they;er all equally beautiful.” My calendar

Have a great, safe, healthy, exciting, adventurous and fun holiday weekend. Enjoy good weather, good food, good shopping, and good company, be it just one or two people or lots of friends and family. Be kind and be caring. Happy Labor Day!
