Last Week

 

On Monday, March 20 - - - - the man who owns the roofing company said, "We can do your roof tomorrow."

We weren't expecting him until June.  We hadn't even picked out shingles yet. 

However, this roofing company owner is in high demand so we were thankful to get him earlier than expected.  My husband went out on his lunch hour and picked the shingle color.

 

Bright and early on Tuesday morning, they began the job - - - worked thirteen hours that day - - - and finished before noon on Wednesday.  The shingles have blue, brown, and gray in them.  They look great on the house!

On Friday and Saturday, we had already planned to be in the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area with our younger daughter and her husband.  Our first stop was at the Apple Barn Restaurant.

We went in the gift shop to get cinnamon apple jelly for our older daughter.  I saw this sign and thought it was fitting for this time in our lives!

No trip up there is complete without us visiting this mall.  We did not buy much there this time - - - didn't see anything that we "needed" or even wanted - - other than a couple of items of clothing.  Is it just me or is it more difficult to buy clothes?  Tops are cut low and the knits are very thin.

This week has been busy - - -especially at work.  The reading program finished up and totals had to be figured so gift cards could be ordered.  Computer servers were being moved and offices shifted which caused only a slight inconvenience to us. 

At home, we are playing a bit of "catch-up" after being gone last Saturday.  We are just trying to stay even with cleaning up the yellow pine pollen, hard-shelled bugs, and strings of beaded seeds that are falling.  It's the yuckiest time of year for allergies in our area but it too will pass.  How do you like our supervisor?  He is guarding the remainder of our basement blocks that will be used  in another project.
