Day Two Hundred Five 2012

Today was back to school for the kids in our county—a two hour registration day. Grandkids Shelby and Elijah hung out with me after that, and we headed to Ocha for a rice and spicy chicken lunch, along with hubby Neil and daughter Holly. While we ate, we had a front row seat watching the city workers lay asphalt at the intersection of Tennessee Tech University and Ocha Thai Deli. Actually, I think it is Seventh Avenue and some other street whose name I can’t remember getting a makeover before college students return for classes. Hot, dirty, smelly work in this summertime heat. Makes me appreciate even more the ride over a nice smooth street.

Day One Hundred Forty Three 2011

I've been waiting two years for this sight. Public works people began paving my street this afternoon. They tore it up moving water meters off the sidewalks and into the yards, digging up huge holes in the street. The holes were patched, leaving us with an ugly, bumpy road, and sad to say, that's how most of the roads are in our hilly little town. Good things come to those who wait, the saying goes. Must be true. Woo Hoo!
