Heat, heat go away!!!
Jun 20th
Temps in Tennessee this week are like our August dog days…90 degrees plus with heat indexes over 100!!!…did someone say “Global Warming”???..The Farmers Almanac predicted a hot, dry summer for us and so far, they are right on the money!!!…We have had some wicked thunderstorms to go along with our heat which just adds to the fun…After the ping pong size hail which accompanied one storm about a week ago, my Camry now looks like it was in a marble fight…Pock marks from hood to trunk and everywhere in between…
I am beginning to think harder and harder about relocating to a more northern area since I would much prefer to have to put on an extra sweater or two than try and stay cool when the temps are 95 and above…You can only take off so much without causing a scene!!!..:-)…
In closing I will say that I am most grateful to the inventor of the air conditioner…I do still remember the days without them..and they were HOT!!!
Long Island Snowstorm Feb. 10, 2010 and Signs of Spring….
Feb 15th
Thanks to our son, Josh, sending us these pictures, I can share the snowstorm from Long Island with our friends and family….This one dumped 22″ on them, as compared to one from the beginning of December which gave them a whopping total of 27″ (a record for the area)…As you can see, Rocky, their Lab, thoroughly enjoys frolicking in the snow…
I remember well the snow storms we had when I was growing up in NY and these pics bring back many memories…Now that I am older, I can truthfully say, I love looking at the pictures but I am glad Cleveland, TN considers a major snowstorm when anything more than 4″ of snow falls..LOL…
Winter will be with us for a while but, Spring is definitely in the air…The robins are returning and this morning, sitting on top of the bluebird house, was a returning bluebird scoping out the house for the next batch of eggs and baby birds…We get the pleasure of enjoying them each and every year…
Hope everyone stays warm and well and just know, Spring will be here before we know it!!!

Cleveland, TN’s Empty Stocking Fund
Dec 7th
An annual event in Cleveland, TN is the “Empty Stocking Fund” which is now in it’s 64th year…Sponsored by WCLE, our local radio station, each year the Empty Stocking Fund makes it possible for hundreds of less fortunate children from our area to have something under the tree on Christmas morning…For two weeks at the beginning of December, the radio personalities, headed by station owner Steve Hartline, take calls all day from listeners donating funds to be used to buy toys, food, etc. for the Christmas Party held to distribute the goodies…100% of the money collected is used to go to the area stores for the purchases…With the economy being what it is, this years need is sure to be greater than in the past…As of this morning, $17,000.00 had been pledged by our generous friends and neighbors in the Cleveland area…By the end of the collection, I know they are hoping to have a larger total than ever before…
I am asking that anyone reading this go to the radio station’s website @ Mymix104.com or call in to (423) 614-6499 to make your pledge…Let’s make this Empty Stocking Fund the best yet!!!Â
This Season’s First Snow
Dec 7th
How exciting it was on Saturday morning to wake up to our first snowfall of the season!!..We had about 2″ which is about as much as we have seen since we have lived in TN (each time, that is)..The trees were just glistening and each branch so pretty in white…I, of course, had the camera out taking pictures before it melted away..I’m still a kid at heart and get excited every time the “white stuff” shows up..By 1PM almost all of the snow had melted away and all that was left was the memory and the pictures… More >
