not only has TVA a huge mess to clean up-- but they are building more smokestacks to make more coal ash!

3.18.09 Dinner at the lake

Today was a beautiful day- sunny and warm. Tonight Mark and i took our take out Mickey D's to the lake for dinner. We ate a picnic table in the sun and the wind and the outdoors. These were our dinner companions. we enjoyed them so much. it was a lot of fun even taking pictures of the lake and the sun and the birds. ---now the fish sandwich i had left a lot to desire...it was not near as good as i remembered. The picture with the big stacks is the TVA fossil plant looming over Roane County High School. In reality there is a lot of distance between them... i just had never paid attention to it from this angle before.

Our other dining companion was this loan sail boarder out in the lake.... he really looked like he was having a good time. Apparently the wind was perfect for what he was doing because he was out there for as long as we were and still there when we left for church

you're HOW old???

since he nor my sis in law read this i am also posting his birthday card here to share


and inside it says.... oh yeah.... way older than me! (used a candle stamp, twinkling H2O's, generic letter "B" and letter stamps by simply stamps,with some silver embossing powder)

pondering--TVA, new baby, boring day, Judi

big ole boring day---I couldn't sleep last night so I slept in to about 8:30 this morning. Read and waited for Mark to come home then the adventure began--

• to the post office to mail Katie's January package
• to the Barrel for dinner (and to buy a special tiny girl a 1st birthday gift from her grandparent's)
• on to WalMart (I HATE going there but it is the only larger store in this county) to get a refund for something they overcharged me for ..and a few essentials like cat food and water and milk
• to the drug store for a refill and
• then home

to ponder Vicki's new blog entry and the pictures of the TVA disaster --check out the bottom of her blog

need to make a new baby card for Alison and Aaron at church (and big sister Gracie) who are the proud parents of a new baby boy who will be baptized on Sunday... What a wonderful time of life for a family. A new life to nurture and love and teach. To see all things new again. To have all the experiences that come with a new baby. A manifestation of a love between a man and woman. What a lovely time of life.

Judi is making amazing recovery. i talked to her today and she is driving and doing great. She got a new car and it is perfect for her. I told her today that her guardian angel did a good job that day---- She is blessed and obviously still has work to do here.
