Usual vs. Unusual


If you lived where we do you would see this type of traffic on your street lots of days...unicycles, walkers, dog walkers, etc. You would see very few cars.  That is the reason that Nathan and children can be seen out in the street practicing various skills for their juggling performances. We like our very quiet street!
That has all changed this week, as we have become a detour for road work on the main street that is behind us...but so far behind us that we hardly know it is there.  Well, today the traffic has hardly stopped in front of our house...a steady stream of vehicles.  We are realizing how nice it is to live on a quiet street and are very ready for the traffic to go away. Here is a sample of what we have had go in front of our house today...along with semis, cement trucks, you name it and probably that vehicle has passed in front of our house! The street that is closed behind our house is a path to one of the middle schools in town...so before 8am and 3pm the traffic really picks up. 
We had a normal day of school for Thursday...more reading, counting, button sewing, machine sewing, etc. Woody walked to and from an appointment in downtown Tullahoma this morning...his exercise for the day on this quite hot and humid August day.  I have been doing a little cleaning and am also in the preparation stages for making myself a shirt.  It is now all cut out including the interfacings...so next step is to apply the interfacings so I will be ready to sew when I find the time over the weekend.
