A Beautiful Day in Alabama

 
Good Morning!  It’s a beautiful morning here in the country.  Of course, by noon it will be in the 90’s. 

I was up early this morning so I could feed Roscoe and Lola.  Kevin and Renea are in Florida for the weekend and I am dog sitting.  That’s fine.  Love those two dogs.  They are outside right now and I will leave them out until about noon when it starts getting really hot.  Then I will bring them in.  About 5 o’clock I will feed them and put them back outside until 9 or 9:30.  Then we will do it all again tomorrow – sort of.  Kevin and Renea are due back sometime tomorrow.

The birds are back – both front yard and back yard feeders!  Yea!!!!  Kevin and Renea just love when I feed the birds.  They blame me for the bird poop and bird nests on their patio and front porch.  LOL

Finished a couple more ornaments.  Then quit for the day. Been reading. Tomorrow is another day.

Went to church this morning after I feed Penny, Lola and Roscoe.  Kevin and Renea are on their way home.  It keeps clouding up.  A chance of showers later today.  Not sure what I will be doing today.  Have a lot of projects I could work on.  We will see.

Okay, so I didn’t do much of anything today.  We are all entitled to this type of day now and then. J

So it is now Monday.  The beginning of another week.  Yea!  It’s supposed to rain today, but I woke up to a lot of clouds, then we had sunshine.  No rain until late afternoon.  So, I did laundry, dishes, and some genealogy work.  I also got my supplies together to make a couple of snowmen beaded ornaments.  This will be a first, so it should be interesting.  I printed quite a few articles, and I was surprised that Miss Penny didn’t help.  I guess she was too busy watching the birds.

Another day when it is supposed to rain.  So I decided to run my errands first thing this morning. I took Kevin’s prescription to CVS for him to pick up on his way home from work.  This was in Phenix City.  I then headed to Tigertown in Opelika and went to Office Depot for a few supplies, then to Hobby Lobby for supplies then to Kroger for groceries.  Oh yea, I also stopped for gas at Kroger since they now have fuel points.  This is new since I returned from Cincinnati.

Back home now, car is unloaded, Penny and I had lunch, groceries, etc. have been put away, we had a light shower, and now it is beginning to thunder.  Time for Miss Penny and me to take our afternoon siesta J  I really shouldn’t, but why not.  I have reached that point again where I AM SO FAR BEHIND I THINK I AM FIRST.  So what is a little snooze in the scheme of things.

A little story about thunder.  When Jana and I were little Mom used to tell us that thunder was the angels bowling.  We could relate to that because our Dad bowled several nights a week.  Depending on the intensity or how loud the thunder was determined whether it was a strike, a spare, etc.  I have never been afraid of thunder but I do respect it because I know it is associated with lightning which is dangerous.  I think of this often when I hear thunder.

Wednesday seems to be doctor appointment day.  I got up early and had my mammogram done.  Of course, I won’t know anything for a while.  After the mammogram I checked in with my primary care doctor to find out if the office made an appointment with a lung specialist.  I thought I would have  heard by now.  I couldn’t see the doctor or his nurse because they were busy, so I left a message.  I was about ten minutes from the doctor’s office when one of his nurses called.  They had made an appointment with Dr. Patel (I think this is the same one that Jim had who found the cancer).  Anyway Dr. Patel’s office was supposed to call me.  However, rather than call they put me on a waiting list for when they have a cancellation and I can get in to see him earlier.  I still think it would have been nice to receive a call, but we are talking doctors.

Home now.  It’s another gloomy day.  Again, we are supposed to have rain.  I will probably work on my ornaments and other miscellaneous stuff.  Tonight is bible study at church.
Here are a couple of my favorite ornaments.  I am sure most of you recognize
